Great Sires of 1890.

An exchange has prepared a table Of
seventy-one stations who sired one or more
winners of $4,000 and upwards in 1880.
Thirty-two of these stations have sired 100
winners of $1,000 and upward, leaving
th%irty-nine stations with single representa-
tives. Imp. st. Blaise stands at the head
of the list with seven representatives., who
won $15O, 600. Eolus has six, who won S121, 727.
Sir Modred has three, who won Sl13. $50,
one of his get Tournament winning more
than three-fourths of the amount. Long
fellow has the largest number, eight, who
won five thousand and over, followed by
imp. Rayon dor with six, imp. Prince
Charlie five, Spendthrift five, Falsetto four,
etc.
If you examine into the breeding of these
great winners, it is astonishing what a part
the Lexington and Boston blood plays.
Out of the $40. eighty nave a cross of this
blood, thirty-eight a double cross
and only % who do not possess it. The
following number was foaled in the states
named: Kentucky 60. California 10, Penn
s~ylvania 16, Tennessee Ii, New Jersey 8
Virginia 4, New York 3, Montana 2, Mis-
souri, 3, Maryland =, Alabama l, Indiana l,
and Ohio l. The total winning of the lao
is $I,676, 1874, and of this those foaled in
Kentucky won SSl4,0 OIL, or nearly one-half
the entire amount.

Proctor

1t is already very evident that Proctor
Knott will c again figure as an object of
much speculation from now on and until
the season opens. TIL S~coggans intend to
follow Bryant's plan of soaring the commu-
nifty by means of outlandish yarns about
the big geldlng's remarkable work in pri-
vate. From Louisville comes the intelli-
gence of Proctor knott's complete recovery
from the lameness which attacked him at
an inopportune time last spring. 1t is said
that the doctoring the gelding received
during the summer months at Sleeps
head Bay has been glorious in its
results. Mr.. Scopgan is authority for
the statement that Proctor Knott is now as
sound as he ever was in his life. He thinks
the gelding will win big money for the sta &
and stripes this year. Proctor has been
working all winter, and is now in good
form. He will be taken to Memphis the
first of next month to receive his prepare
ton. He is entered in the following stake s:
Manhattan Handicap and Country club,
New York Jockey Club, the Delbeck handi-
cap, Louisville; the Straus handicap, Lex
ington; the Merchants stakes and decora-
ton handicap. Latonia; the Wheeler handi-
cap. lakewood handicap and Boulevard ham

THE TRAINING OF COLTS.
Opinions of Prominent Drivers and Train
ers on the Subject.

Opinions of Prominent Drivers and Train
ers on the Subject.
Andy Mcdonald, of Albany, believes in
early development and thinks some colts
capable of reaching their highest rate of
speed at three years old
Budd Doble thinks a trotter canno be SO
trained or developed at three years of age
as to reach the limit of his speed without
undo danger from such develop ment. He
believes that should a colt be moderately
handled and constantly trained until five or
six years that he would be far better and
faster than at three years of age. In regard
to the speed of thoroughbreds, Mr.. Doble
says that they should be handled as he
noted for the ~trotter, constantlr educated
and moderately trained until five years old
and then run with thre-year-old weight up,
they would be faster.
q. l.. Cation, of Adrian, Mich. seems to
grasp the question thoroughly. He does
not believe in the early forcing process,
their years to develop the highest rate
of speed, and hat a colt not over
worked will increase his rate as the years
60 by until he arrives at maturity. He IS
of the opinion that the two great three
year-olds are not perfectly sound and would
Aato ootoA Nhooo oAN 49,
manned perfect, whils now it is a grave
doubt if either do.
O. A. Hickok says: MY opinion is that
no three-year.old can get the limit of his
speed at that age. and l don't believe in
early training as it is being done at pres
ent.'
Walter Clark, of Battle Creek, Mich, who
had Jack 2:121141, thinks he could not have
gone down the circuit at four years of age
and won the $4,000, which he did at FIVE.
1t is the money winner which breeders
ought to try and get. not the one heat cup
record performers. Mr.. Clark is also of the
opinion that q colt can not reach the limit
of his speed at three years of age and that
some families develop earlier than others.
1t will be seen by a perusal of the above
opinions, that by far the larger majority
are of the noted horsemen quoted are
against pushing young horses to their top
speed until after their third year.

Grant winn in Custody.

Grant Vim, the slayer of Bud Wick in an altercat ton over lumber trade on the I7th of last March, g full account of which was published in the DEMOCRAT at the time, and whose successful escape occasioned considerable comment, was taken in- to custody last Sunday afternoon on the passenger train this side ofOzark by Ed Atwell, deputy sheriff of Johnson county and safely lodged in the Pope county jail. Vim has been remarkably successful in elud- ing the officers since his escape and on more than one occasion was Al most within their grasp.
 The killing was done on Saturday and it is now learned that he remain. ed near the scene of the crime until Sunday night, when he boarderd . freight train at the Mill Creek water tank and went to Van Buren. Thence he went to Alma and later to Ft. Smith, finally winding up at TalIhina, in the Indian Terrltoy, where he was spotted and would have been arrested but for his nerve and presence of mind, the officer being at one time within fifteen feet of hIm. He went thence to Texas and while at Blossom Prairie, little town not far from Paris, saw Deputy sheriff Bob Hamilton of this place who was look ing for him. As MT. Hamilton pass ed in at the front door of business house, Winn stepped out of back door and made his escape. He pass ed from place to place so rapid ly and was so alert that It was found impossible to overtake him.
 Winn says he was on his way home to surrender when arrested. This is believed by some and by others doubted.
 The last grand jury indicted him for murder Tn the second degree. His bail has been fixod at $5000, and if he can give this he will be released until the fall term of circuit court.
