Columbia horses; Jack Russwurm,
the tireless hustler of the Cumber-
land Park Association, and cores
pOndent of the Kentucky Stock Farm,
says in that papers last edition.:
cover at South Side Park we found
trainers John Walker, John Thomas,
Harrison and Ike Kelly working out
their strings. Adfield, 2:2Sla, by AL
mont Jr-, dam Vanity dam of Alvan,
2:26I%), by Enfield looks to be the
great horse he is. His crop of young
sters are highly formed and OF good
size. They all show trot, even when
at foot Mr.. Walter NVOldridge,
owner of Adfield, thinks he will have
ll0 difficulty in placing a mark bet
ter than 2:20 on this son or Almont,
.Jr, this season. In the stud he has
lad full book, the people appreciat-
ing a good thing when they see it,
The racer Bob Taylor, also in this
stable, is n greatly improved horse
over lst year. Walker tells me that
every time recently he has been
speeded lie shOves off few seconds.
The pacing filly Rosa @. by Duplex,
dam by Kramer, that was Il wonder
last season before she went wrong,
has rounded to and is doing some
fast work. She is well engaged in
the circuits and should get her share
of the money.
"JOhnny Thomas was over with
his string, having had to leave the
kite track because they are at work
on it widening the stretches, prepara-
tory to the July meeting. His good
horse ErectOr, by Director, dam by
MambrinO, is going like big guns
since he finished his Sc asOn in the
stud. The other horses in his string
are working well.
1.-The kite track has beefI torn up
considerably, and SOME very much
needed work is being done on it.
Jones has some one hundred hands
ut work, and the track will be in
first-class condition in time for the
July meeting. WnIkm"u we're also
engaged in finishing the stables,
which, by the way, are about the best
in the country for room and ventila-
tiUD The stalls are l4Xl4, box lined,
and for every five stalls there is a

ONman 2:IS and Reflector 2:I9li by
Duplex. Many of our readers Will re-
member the queer fellow OXman. He
is fast as chain lightning but bangs
himself up badly. He is supposed
to be the green PAGER that a country
man brought to Col. JnO Thompson,
of Hermitage renOwn, shook a bush
over him and he went half mile ut
II 2:l5 gait. "What have you been
feeding this fellow on" asked the
astonished Colonel, when the coUn-
tryman got out of the road cart. 90,
hes jest been running i'm the pasture
with the calves and gettin II little
green corn now an then "Well take
him home" said Thompson, "but for
goodness sake don't change his food "
Frank was sold, however, and went
north and soon took a record of 2:lS.
He beat Reflector on the DIST, time
2:l7, 2:2lla, 2:2O. y correspondent
says: "In the 2:lS pace it Was all
Frank OXman's way and he was never
headed. Reflector was n good second,
So recently been shipped 800 miles,
he made an excellent showing and
proved himself II sidC-W wheeler of
great speed and bottom"
On this part of his letter we agree
with Sales. 1t does look that he has
as much reason to be reinstated as
Spears. He says in the last Ken
lucky Stock Farm:
al was offered So 800 by George w.
Spear, for some one else, to drop a
heat, aud refused it. Does that look
like | would lose q race for $1,000 IA
week afterwards? The thing is too
glaringiY false, and no honest man
will believe it. Does it not look
moro like some of those prominent
turfmen' that signed Spears paper
for reinstatement were behind the
sCeEe, and they had to reinstate Spear
for fear he would let the thing out,
and are now trying to throw all of il
on ne? The idea of n great big, six
foot man being in a sense under
