Cold weather and a ir-sized crowd wit
messed the four ear old race on the ice at
Keeers Bay, Saturday, the 14th. Tho race
brought out seven starters and proved to he
a surprise to the knowing " ones, for 1T |
was taken handily in straight heats by w.
Robinson's bay mare Neglect. This mare
stands plump Is hands and gives great |
promise now, but for the past year she has
been doing heavy farm work with 1850 |

The Horse Breeder of February says:
"Alcautara (2:23 only had one old
as ten years at the close of the season of
1890, and that one, with only few foals
has three year-old with n record of 2:29k
in fourth heat to his credit, and another
which paced in 90 three weeks Off IA farm
There can be sort of doubt about the
sons of Alcautara getting trotters and
some of them will outbreed him even, and
by the close OF another season more Of them
will be found in the list of sires at 2 80
speed. Alexander, owned by E. +. Brow
nell Of Burlington, Vt, is likely to be one
of these. His get have n uniformity of
geit and conformation quite remarkable,
| and from we'll mares he is sure to sire
speed, because lie Is a bulldog sort of trot-
ter himself, and comes from a family of
trotters.
