HORSE NOTES.
FROM VARIOUS EXCHANGES,

Carlotta, by Aristos, 2:274, dam by
Broken Leg, son of Rysdyk's Iamble-
tonian, won the 2:25 race at Fair
Haven. VT. last week, taking a record of
, :26 in the third heat. Another endorse
ment of the IIambletonian-M Morgan COM
bination.
In recent letter from Mat Cooper of
Boswell, Ind, breeder of Honest George,
q :l4t, to pole with Belle Hamlin, 2:l2H,
he states that this speedy gelding was
by Albert, son of Pilot Duroc; dam by
Pease's Stockbridge Chief, son of Stock
bridge Chief, by Vermont Black Hawk.
Belle Hamlin has three crosses of the Ver-
mont Black Hawk strain. Mr. Cooper still
owns the dam of Honest George, which
has five-months-old colt foal, brother
to Honest George, at foot. He also has
a tive-year-old sister to Honest George,
which has produced some very promising
foals.
The past week has been by far the most
eventful one of the season, or of any
season. in the matter of record breaking
and sensational speed performances. The
worlds record for trotters in a race has
again been reduced by Martha Wilkes {;
this time to , :0Si, in a third heat, on
the oval track at Evansville, Ind. For
the third time in one season has the peer
less Nancy Hanks reduced the world rec
ord of extreme speed at the trotting form
of locomotion by drawing Budd Dobe II
mile on the regulation track at Terre
Haute last Wednesday in the astonish-
ing time of 2:O4. The three-year-old stall
lion record of , ~ has been placed to the
account of Monbars and stands at 2:llf
now. Mascot is now king of the PAGERS
with lace record of 2 :0l. while Flying
Jih has reduced his mark TO , :05{ in race.
Belle Acton is crowned queen of year
ling PAGERS by going a mile at the lateral
gait in 2 81 at Wichita last Friday. In
pacing race at Terre Haute. in which
the average of the five heats was trife
slower than 2:065, Guy paced the third
heat in :O64, making himself the cham
pion stallion in race, and went on and
finished in 2:0S4 and 2:0si, making the
fastest five-heat race to harness the world
has yet seen.
There is but one mare which enjoys the
distinction of having produced three pa
GERS with records below 2:2O-Lady Nei-
ser, a sXteeen-year-old daughter of Gar
rard Chief In 1856 she foaed the bay
colt Don Pizarro, record in 1889, 2:l4{,
at the time the fastest ever made by a
three-year-old pacing stallion; in 1859
she dropped brother of the Don, who
was christened Don Lorenzo and took a
three-year-old record of 2:l73 two weeks
ago; in 1890 was foaled a sister of this
pair, now known to fame as Lottie Lor-
aine, 2 :l64, the fastest of two-year-old
pacing fillies, and next Online, , :l6, the
fastest sde-wheeler of her age, regard
less of sex. All these sensational Young
STEERS are by Gambetta Wilkes. TO the
cover of Marshal Kleber, Lady Yeiser in
1888 produced Mistake, trotting record,
2:299. She is certainly remarkable
brood mare, as well as very stoutly
bred one. Her sire, Garrard Chief, was
by Mambrino Chief, out of the thorough
bred mare bessie, by Frank. Her dam,
Jewell, was by Gill's Vermont; second
dam, Brown Kate, by Black Jack; third
dam Little Black, by Vermont Black
Hawk; fourth dam by White Mountain
Morgan. As will be seen, almost all her
blood on the maternal side is emphatlcal-
ly Morgan, Black Jack being the Hackett
Horse, son of Clifford Morgan.
