NOTES OF TURF INTEREST.

At recent meeting of the Minnesota
Association of Trotting and Pacing
Horse Breeders, the constitution was
changed so as to admit for entry all
horses owned by members, or the get of
horse or the produce Of mare owned
by member. 1t will be seen by the
foregoing change that any horse of suit
able age owned within the territorial
limits of this association, viz: ''All of
Minnesota, North and South Dakota,
and that part of Wisconsin lying north
and west of the Wisconsin river, is eli
glble for entry in the stakes of this as
ISOLATION. AS the time for closing en-
tries for 1891 was extended to June l,
1t is certain that large list of horses
will be on hand when the races occur.
A very curious suggestion is made to
the effect that blood and not perform
ance should be the test or standard of
admission to registration in the case of
the trotter. OF course, by blood here is
meant trOtting blood, and how this is to
be procured or its presence determined
without performance at the outset it is
difficult to conceive. Standard trotting
blood is the only kind that rests on the
solid foundation of known performance
officially vouched for.
Some most extraordinary and scarcely
credible stories are being circulated
about the ''facts" which the English
Jockey club is said to have collected in
its investigations. Zone young jockey
was found to have upwards of e3),0OO
at his bankers. A professional hacker
was discovered to have sixteen winning
weeks in succession. during which time
many thousands of pounds were paid
him, and another is stated to have lent
$4,000 to municipality"
tEEo -
strong grip on the breeders. 1t was so
strong that the dam of AXtell was sold
for a song, and if mare of such lines
| of blood were set up for sale anywhere
| in the United States she would sell tor
| a song to-day. Then why do the pick of
| the land go to AXtell? 1t has not been
proved that he will breed on; and if he
will, why will not another like his DAMP"
The Great American was actually
worth $4,000. The conditions of the
race are that any excess over $4,000
shall go as follows: Fifty per cent to
the nominator of the winner, 80 per cent
to the nominator of the second horse,
and 20 per cent to the nomlnator of the
| got IS, William Lakeland So, and II. j.
| Hancock 81 from the odd SO.
Henry G. Jewett, of Buffalo, is evil
| IDENTIFY determined to perperuate the
name of Jerome Eddy, 2:1612. as among
his numerous entries to the Poughkeeo-
sic races we notice Eddy Sherman, Ali
ma Eddy, Capt. Eddy, Clark Eddy, Car
RE Eddy, Hardy Eddy, Tom Eddy, Mil
ton Eddy. Louise Eddy, Maj. Eddy.
VIII Eddy and May Eddy.
Stamboul will be out for the stallion
record this season, his stud duties have
ceased and he has been placed in the
| trainers hands. STEAMBOAT has been on
the turf every year since he was two
years old and he has never yet failed to
lower his record each succeeding sea-
son. 1t would seem that his chances
are as good as any of them.
1t is held that 1.-The sire controls the
habits and disposition more than the
| dam; she the endurance and constitu-
tion more than he. Hence, select a
| level-headed horse with good feet and
legs, strong Joins and deep, heavy quar-
tiers. Do not risk horse that has pro-
duced speed from one mare only"
Five California trotters have been put
into the 2:3O list already by Trainer
