GRlDLEYS ROsBUCK AND HOUS
TONS HARRY CLAY.

EDITOR HORSE REVIEW -
If my information in regard to the per-
Torrance of the descendants of Gridley's
Roebuck is correct, the horses name
should occupya marked place in the
Year Books Table of sires of dams"
Three separate times called the Ameri
can Trotting Registry's secretary and
his assistants attention to the apparent
injustice of the omission of his name, but
for some reason the matter was never ill.,
vestigated. Their attention was also at the
same time called to Houston's Harry Clay,
IA horse that think, bears the unique aud
proud distinction of having sired but two
colts before he was gelded at four years
old, both filies and each of them produc-
ed Il fast performer.
Gridley's Roebuck was sired by Cars
Roebuck. son of Black Forester, and his
dam was Pride of the West. He sired
the dams of Mountain Boy 2204 and
Maud A., , .264. Dams produced by his
daughters we're: onesuch-Kentucki-
an, 2;27i, Lady Turpn. ,: %, and Rosita,
:2Gt; Jessica-Clayola. , :274, and Is
rael, Dps; Young Portia-> oltaire,
2:20i; Santa Maria-Billy IIoskins,
, :2G4. and IIylas, , 24t ; Morning Dawn
Susie r., PSI Millspaugh marcy Dung
Sentinel, 2;2G. Second dams produced
by his daughters were: Iolande-Ya-
700, 2:214, Iuba, 2:24t, and Yuletide,
2:2S4; Consuela-Connaught, 2 :24; No
ra Lee-Sylvan, 2:274 Nellie Horton
Fancy, PA. Dam produced by daugh-
ter of SON. Jennie Clay-Prairie King,
2 :23t.
He also sired the third paternal dams
of Hylas Boy, ;23, Hylas Maid, 2:294,
Susie s.. 2;l54, Volney, 2 :29i, Bessemer,
2:134 (p.), Mistletoe, 80, and the fourth
dams of Arion, 2:l0i, Violeta, 2:26a,
Clonmore, , :274, and undoubtedly many
more.
Houston's Harry Clay, gelded at four
years old, was sired by Harry Clay, a.,
dam by Lefeyres Star, son of American
Star, II. He sired Jennie Clay, dam of
Prairie King, 2;234, and Nellie Horton,
dam Of Fancy, , PA. Sire produced by
daughter: Prairie King, =.
In the printed volumes of the Ameri-
can Trotting Register, Nellie Horton,
formerly Nellie Clay, is credited to
Horizons Clay, which is an error (typo-
graphical. no doubt). She was and |
think, is still owned by S. a. Browne &
Co. of Kalamazoo, and she was sired by
IIouston's Harry Clay.
present the above for the consdera-
ton of the Registry company's secretary
and hope that the next Year Book will
recognize the merits and rights of Grid
ley's Roebuck and Houston's Harry Clay.
There may be errors in the above table
aud hope that the Registry company,
as well as anyone who may feel an inter-
est in the matter, may correct or give
what information they can and show
why the two horses in question are not
recognized in the table of sires of dams.

which he was in part sprung. His son,

Once when the father was visiting the
son, Alexander junior invited Alexander
senior into his garden, which is said to
have been somewhat larger than a good

the one little tree in this garden, and

= rev Chemical EIemenr.

New chemical elements are not dis
covered as rapidly as new asteroids or
rev coiaets, and when one is found, as
has recently occurred, a great deal of in
terest is aroused in the scientific world
The new element was discovered in
Egypt in the bed of an ancient river
which has been dried up for ages, but of
whose former existence there are said to
be records dating back about 5000 years.
A few little lakes, whose water possesses
medicinal properties, exist in the old
river bed.
The new element, which is called mas
rum, from the Arabic name for Egypt,
is constituent of kind of Gbrous alum.
Ii falls under the class of metals, and is
said by chemists to possess a strong in
dividuality.
Moreover, it furnishes an additional
proof of the correctness of the prevailing
theory of what is called the periodicity
Of the elements, since its atomic weight
seems to place it just in a certain gap in
the system whose existence had been
noted. This, indeed, is not the first in
stance in which a newly discovered sub
stance has been found to fill vacant
place in the ideal system of the chemical
elements. Other gaps yet exist, and
chemists are becoming so confident in
the accuracy of their fundamental theory
that they would not be surprised to see
every one Of these gaps filled by the dis
covery of new elements, the general
properties of which they are able to pre-

TALE WITH A MORAL,
which Teaches That You Had Better
Let the Races Alone.

And 1t came to pass at the place which
men call the race track that certain
youth appeared after the third race had
been run and manifested signs of great
Joy.
For" said he, II have bet 81 to win $500
If name the winners of the first five races
correctly and lol have already named
these three Alright"
After the fourth race came that youth
In tumult of doubt and questioning.
Again they have run my way" he said,
but am in II sore perplexity The men
who preside over the booth offer me 800
for my bet as it stands, and fancy much
that bird in the hand is pleasant and yet
$500"
Now, when the fifth race had been run,
we, knowing this youth to have picked the
winner approached him with congratula-
tions upon our lips and expecting greatly
that he would set 'em up. But his counte-
nance was sorrowful, and as we did him
the requested favor of kicking him all over
that county. he told us the sad truth Of
the matter.
AS you know" so the tale ran, II had
picked the odds on the favorite, and the
bookmakers had offered to compromise the
bet. Then suddenly, while | yet labored

tain friend who said hastily that the favorite
was not decreed by the fates and the own

recently come from the paddock. Where
upon, believing his story, returned to the
bookie and offered to settle my $500 to 81
bet. Which he finally did, paying me
sixty dollars for the bet. And then the
favorite romped home by three lengths
Now! Kick me AGAIN.
4 And the last state of this youth was
worse than the first, for he staked all his
sixty dollars on the horse thaC did not win
the sixth and last race, and he was con-
strained to borrow Il nickel to ride home
