Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-16

At IL O'Clock last night the great six
days pedestrian contest was announced
to begin at the Madison Square Gar
dens, New York. Albert, who holds
the worlds record OF 621 miles, is one of
the contestants. Such sawdust cracks
a Herty, Guerrero, Noremac, Hughes,
Moore, George Cartwright, Manning
and Connors were expected to take part
in the contest. An unknown English
man is being backed by wealthy book
making firm to land the race. Black
Heart, the Sioux chief, is also entered.
The Associated Press will, doubtless,
keep the California public posted on the
progress of the match from day to day.

"Mr. j. III. Shuts, who has returned
to the city with a little of the brown of
Florida sunshine in his face, is enthusi-
astic over Baron Rose. At the, Plaza,
on Monday night, he offered to show
him in the ring against any colt of his
age in the country. Thirty mares are
booked to the young stallion"
The above paragraph is taken from
the editorial page OF the New York Turf,
Field and Farm. Baron Rose, by the
way, is a Los Angeles bred colt, being
by Stamboul, out of the world-renowned
Minnehaha.' This symmetrical colt car
ried off the blue ribbon at the National
horse show, held in New York, few
months since.
"With an Iowa stallion at the head OF
all living sires, and Iowa bred stations
holding the two, three, and four-year-old
records, it twould seem that Iowa already
deserves first place, but when the season
of '91 closes and the records are made
UP, it is expected that he who runs may
read Iowa at the 'front.'"
This sample from the American
Trotter, published at independence,
Iowa. The new paper will have to stick
to facts, if it desires to have circulation
outside of Iowa. The claim that an Iowa
stallion is at the head OF all living stall
lions is false. Such ridiculous statements
as the above will not deceive anyone but
the merest tyros in the breeding busi-
ness. A stallion has been raised in Los
Angeles county with faster record than
any stallion bred in Iowa, for money or
marbles. A stallion bred in this county
has more 2 80 performers than any stall
lion ever bred in Iowa. Why, Iowa Is
not in the hunt. There is California
mare with faster record at three years
old by second and half than any
trotter ever raised or owned in Iowa.

The kennel editor of the Breeder and
Sportsman writes as follows anent the
coming show of the Southern California
Kennel club:
"We understand that number OF our
kennel men are going to exhibit their
dogs at the Los Angeles bench, show.
This is perfectly proper and right, and
we trust that a large number of them
will find it to their interest to do so.
The Southern California Kennel club is
composed of and controlled by GENTLE
men, and the very best treatment may
be expected at their hands. The bench
show last season was marked success,
and there can be no question but that
the coming show will exceed that of last
season. We bespeak for the Los An
geles show wealth OF success"

Kilrain won the most important bat
tie of his life on Friday when. he tri-
umphed over Godfrey. I anticipated a
victory for the latter, and invested in a
couple of pool tickets at odds of Q to 1.
To be candid, however. / was in error
in regard to the difference in the weight
Of the men. labored under the delu-
sion that the difference in the weight
was not more than thirteen pounds.
The Examiner, however, is authority
for the statement that Kilrain out
weighed his opponent no less than
twenty pounds. This is altogether too
much weight to give away. even to a
second-class fighter like Kilrain. Kill
rAiD showed himself to possess great en-
durance, and proved to be q clever
sparrer. His hitting ability is Hway
