HORSE NOTES.

1t is reported that two offers of SIC, 900
each have been made for Alcantara, 2:23.
The man with a nice bunch of half
bred fillies can sell them every time.
Don't fail to give your horses plenty
of salt. 1t is preventive of disease.
1t is rumored that Hamilton, the cele-
brated colored jockey. will be engaged
TO ride for the Hearst stable this year.
Two years ago Hamilton rode for the
Hearst stable, but he was not very sue
cesSful. Senator Hearst, though, fully
recognized the fact that it was the lack
of condition, and not the riding, which
defeated his horses. Since the death of
Mr.. Belmont. Hamilton has been free.
and the Hearst stable is TO be congratu-
lated if it is true that it has secured the
services of so good jockey.
James E. Mcdonald has entered sui
against the Southern Express company
for damages to thirteen horses while en-
route from Memphis to New York in
1887. One of the horses injured was
Gaudeloupe, and Ire has never recovered
from the effects of the accident. The
suit is for $4,000. The express COM
pany claims that the man in charge of
the horses did not take proper care of
them or they would not have been in
jured. The matter will be tried in
Memphis shortly.
The present value of race horses is
best illustrated by the settlement of the
suits filed respectively by the firm of
Chinn Il Morgan and the widow and
mother of Trainer James Keliar and his
son. The former got $4,000 for the
death of their two horses GangeS and
Little Prince, while the woman who
lamented the death OF her husband and
son got but $4,000 damage. Human life
has always been regarded as the most
valuable of Gods creations, but the re-
suits OF these suits seem to indicate that
the race horse leads.
10 stop the bleeding of horse or
other stock from Snag or wound, says
a correspondent, make an application of
dry manure. and it will stop the bleed
ing of "a wound every time. This in
formation may be worth good deal to
many. While away from home recently
weanling colt of mine broke through a
barbed wire fence and cut his foreleg
badly. 1t had been bleeding for eight
hours when L got home. L took dry
horse manure and neld it ON the wound
for one minute and the blood stopped
flowing at once.
Mr. Bonner has changed his mind and
now announces that he will breed Maud
S to Ansel, 2:20, his haIf-bred son Of
ElectiOneer. This will be an experiment
that will disappoint lots of people that
are great admirers of Mr.. Bonner's IA
nous mare and who have hoped that
she might be mated with some famous
and successful sire, but it will also
teach its own lesson if the mare should
prove productive. Should her colt by
Ansel ever get record faster than the
2:20 Of its sire, then Mr. Bonner's expert.
ment will have proved not failure.
According to all the laws of progress, a
colt from Maud and sire With a
fast record should at least have as much
speed as the slower of its parents, but
in this case am willing to put myself
on record as believing that colt from
Maud 5 and Ansel will never trot mile
as fast as 2:20. There will be plenty of
people that will disagree with me, but
if the great mare proves productive to
the cover of Ansel it will take but
few years TO show which theory is right.
