Hal Pointer, whose pacing record is
2:0i3, was once saddle horse. Major
Campbell Brown wrote as follows in
January, 1890: "Our fastest PAGERS are

will be seen that Mr.. Bonner will have
sulky which he can use for all his hors-
es, and that it will be perfect in respect
to size. Probably the most important
feature is an arrangement by which the
driver may shift his weight at will. The
seat is adjustable, sliding backward and
forward as desired, and is controlled by
a lever which passes up between the
drivers legs and is operated by his knee.
The advantage of this is obvious
When the animal needs steadying the
weight may he applied, but when he is
going full and free, reaching out for the
record, as Sunol will do shortly, the
driver may so balance his weight that

SUNOl'S NEW BIKE.

The present bicycle sulky is pronounce
ed by the best calculated to know a
"make-shift." 1t combines the wooden
thiIls of the old sulllies with the steel
wheels and pneumatic tires of the BIZ
cycles. Only an excessive curvature of
the thills compensates for an uphill pull.
True, a sulky could be ordered to fit a
fourteen or sixteen hand horse, but it
would not be perfect vehicle for all siz-
ed animals.
Mr.. Bonner's new sulky presents the
first new bicycle sulky. 1t is construct
ed entirely of tubular steel of the finest
quality and temper. The thills are light
er than the present wooden ones, and
possess far lgreater strength 1t is de-
signed to place on the aXles forty-two-
inch wheels, with ball-bearings, pneu-
matte tires and all the improvements
found in the most perfect bicycle. The
novelty of these wheels and their con-
nectiop to the axle is that they are adj
Unstable. A simple acting device enables
the operator to raise or lower the frame
work of the sulky corresponding to the
height of the horse, thus giving him at

A NOTED SIRE OF HACkNEYS.
JOSEPH BATTELL,

We have had occasion to refer to the
prominent position occupied by the
Mane-bred horse Shepherd F. Knapp in
known as IIackneys. 1t will be remem-
bered that he was taken to England, and
stood there for service many years. In
q recent issue of Wallace's Monthly APP
pears an article entitled Mailing the
Hackneys,' in which further reference
is made to this great sire, and the state
ment is made that in the first volume of
the Hackney stud book of Great Britain
Shepherd F. Knapp is directly response
BILE for sixteen animals and that his
blood mingled with the best, as the
best, and further that "Shepherd F.
Knapp was truly great horse. He was
a Hackney-a splendid one. Being bred
in America simply emphasizes the fact.
His breeding, manner of production,
proved his American creators quite as
adept as the English fraternity. The
materials were the same and equally as
good. The credit belongs not so much
to the materials in such a case as to the
skill of the users who originate there
from and the insight required to secure
the best results. AS a Hackney, Shep-
herd F. Knapp was evidently facHe prin-
cePS.' And adds, "Shepherd F. Knapp,
if he had lived today in such form,
would he very car among Hackneys ::
his dash and step would create furore
and electric sensation" This is high
praise of the individual qualities of
great horse and such Shepherd F. Knapp
undoubtedly was. But while the above
is very complimentary it is also very
''English' and the fact is that the horse
Shepherd F. Knapp was a trotting-b bred
horse of the old-fashioned type, such as
we used to breed in Maine years ago, so
far as breeding goes, but very superior
type as an individual, and not Hackney

one of unusual promise, and there was
talk of forminga syndicate to purchase
h inn for stock horse, but the project
fell through and he was sold to New
York parties, aud finally taken to Eng
land. Here and in France he trotted
several races, the most prominent of
which took place at the Bois lie Bou-
IOgne near Paris in 1865 against horse
called Express, also an American, own
ed by ii French gentleman at Rouen in
Normandy. The race was won by
Shepherd F. Knapp two miles, in G:li.
trifle better than , 80 to the mile. He
is also registered in vol 1, American
Trotting Register, as a standard trotting
horse and his number is 2S2, which to
our way of thinking is higher praise
than the statement of the English writer
who sees in him simply Hackney sire.
He was the sire of Shepherd F. Knapp.

State, all of whom spoke in terms of the
highest praise of the town, especially of
