WASHTENAW CHlEF-SKENAN-
DOAH
From Breeder and Sportsman

From Breeder and Sportsman
Under the head of "Reminiscences in |
the Breeder last week. find mention of |
Washtenaw Chief as "A black horse. The !
horse of that name that stood at Stock
ton i'm lSG3-6l and was sold to Alexander
Gamble of Menlo Park in the fall of that
year, instead of being Il black horse,
was rich bay with black points and
very stylish. Mr.. Gamble changed his
name to that of "Niagara'', and he WAS
advertised to stand at MEMO Park in Is
Go, together with a challenge to trot him
against any stallion in the State for five
thousand dollars side, to harness or
wagon at the acceptor's option. No ac-
ceptance was made, for the challenge
was not put out till after Mr.. Henderson
had made arrangements to ship George
NJ. Patchen. Jr., East, and had engaged
Bill Bird, the colored trainer who came
out here with Lodi, to take charge of
him on the voyage. | was talking with
Eotf about him one day and told him
how fast | had seen the horse trot at
Stockton, when was keeping the track
at that place in 1868. Eofl laughed at me
in his usual sneering way:
"rhey have seen something out of him
good deal faster than that, or they
would not daie to put out banter for
that amount of money. He has prob
ably beaten = 30"
"Maybe it's bluff" | suggested,
something like Pat Hunts proposition
to trot John Nelson against Rather or
any other stallion"
Nothing of the kind" retorted Eoff,
show fast did Kentucky Hunter trot in
private when Dewey had him at the
Stockton track"
SIN = 33 to wagon. He could pull a
wagon and beat Washtenaw to harness
half the length of the stretch
swell, it's just as | tell you. He has
gained speed since you have seen him
and he can stay all day long. He can
pull wagon and beat Hunter just about
as bad now as Hunter could beat him
then. He must have shown them 80 or
better"
Mr.. Dewey evidently did not want any
of it, as the challenge met with no re-
Spouse from him or anybody else. The
Washtenaw Chief, by Black Hawk, that
trotted in , 30 at Rome, y. Y, in lSG5
did so at the very time that the so-called
Niagara was standing at Menlc
Park. Mr.. Chester gives this horse nc
record whatever.

The same correspondent, 81. NJ. t.
speaks of Shenandoah, the horse that
trotted here under the alias Kentucky
Hunter. Chester has no record of his
race in which he beat Belinger's Ethan
Allen at Philadelphia; the race in which
he beat Capt. Fisher at the willows Park,
and the race in which he was defeated by
the same horse in = :3S on the Pioneer
course. Chester gives no better record
than ,: As to Capt. Fisher, who did his
mile in , 80 in presence of more than one
thousand people. think the lies of the
Alta and Bulletin will confirm W hat |

my statement to this effect. Daisy Burns,
30, was owned by Il friend of mine,
Robert Walker of Newark, n. j. Bob
was morocco dresser by trade, and
worked for old George Dougherty, whose
daughter he married After Bob got
rich he never would employ anybody
else to train or drive his horses. but per-
sisted in doing so himself One morning
before daybreak, on the old Fashion
course on Long Island, Daisy Burns came
galloping by the grand stand with an emp
ty sulky. Two or three grooms on the
track Naited few minutes and no Bob
Walker appeared. They then started to
go around the track and found Walkers
body lying near the halt-mile pole. His
skull was crushed in, apparently with
some dull instrument, on the left side !;
and have always believed that he was
murdered in the same way that Mckee
yer was killed in Chicago, by mailing a
board to the half-mile pole so as to pro-
feet over the track and strike any man in
the head who would try to drive close to
the pole. Kentucky Hunter was the sire
of Erwin Davis, who got two in the list
and also got the dam of Florence r.,

his short, thick neck, which materially
detracted from his appearance. He was

and given in charge of'George n. Fergu-

this Sherman was ever foremost, ever the
real leader, ever the moving spirit and in
SEPARATION. He had shared every experience
with his men, marched by their side through
the rain, the mud, and the seemingly i'm
passable swamps; slept with them under the
pelting storm, and encountered with them
the murderous fire Of the enemy, and was
always ready with encouragement under
every reverse.
In peace he was equally one Of them. His
strongest affections, outside of his family
were with the men who had followed where
he led. He was an active worker in the
Grand Army, never missed a meeting of his
Post when he was at home, and was at every
National Encampment, sitting with the De-
partment Of Missouri in its place on the
floor and taking an active part in all the
proceedings.

The losses OF the Union army at Gettys-
burg were in round numbers $4,000, so that
every year the railroads Of this country kill
aud mangle more people than the rebel
artillery and mu-ketry did on those fateful
days in July, 1868
1t IS CALLING rcproach 10 our boosted en-
'eFprise aud ingenuity that this slaughter
should continue. Congress may not be able
to stop it, but it can, at least, greatly miti-
gate 1t by stringent regulations concerning

IT is now developed that the accusation

animation of the War Department records
in 1883, at the instance of no less person
than President Cleveland, with a view to
finding something detrimental to Gems.
Alger and Harrison, whichever should be

and there was only this fimsy accusation
against Gen. Alger, which his disgruntled
temporary superior officer had silly put on

the time, when it could he fully and frankly
