A paragraph in Clark's Horse Review,
in its issue December 9th, says 'that
NJ. +. Ketcham writes that the trotting
dog Doc has now earned SS.OOO, ana
that he refused $1,000 for him In Rich
mond. Va. last month" He ADDS: lie
simply is not for sale"
Referring TO the above, there are
number Of gentlemen in this city that have
some curiosity 10 know what Richmond
party or parties offered $4,000 for Doc.
Senator L., 2:29. by Dexter Prince and
Patti. by Director Z11, are BON out OF
daughters Of Bayswater, the thorough-
bred son Of Lexington and Bay Leaf, by
Imported Yorkshire.
Selicon, 215 "a. the great two-year-old
daughter of Wilton, 2 10 Ira. and the crack
trotter Of her age for 1892. won during
the season over $1,000 Morello, the great
est two-year-old thoroughbred Of 1892 has
to his credit the snug sum Of $oS,25S
which represents his winnings during the
season. What more positive proof is he
cessary to illustrate the truth of c. w.
Williams (of Axtell and Allerton fame),
famous axiom: The earning capacity OF
the American trotter must be increased.
The famous trotting stallion Nelson,
record 2:10 on a regulation track, and his
owner c. II. Nelson, Of Waterville, Ne,
have been reinstated by the National
Trotting Association. Now that the ban
of expulsion has been removed and the
permanent trOtting tracks of the country
are open to the great horse, it will be inter-
esting to see him again put up a fight for
the stallion record. He has great speed,
and hitched TO a bicycle sulky, he should
step some fast miles next season.
Daniel Edgar Grouse, the trotting horse
man, Of Syracuse, N. Y, who recently
died in that city, left a fortune esti-
mated at $lO,OO0,00O. During his lifetime he
horses, and expended over half million
dollars in the erection of q private stable
in Syracuse. In his will he bequeathed
the sum of 100000 to Andrew Jackson
Feek, noted driver Of trotters, who had
been his adviser in all matters pertaining
TO horses.
1t should be a source Of pleasure and |
qualification to American horsemen to
know that native thoroughbred sires out
'ank those imported in the number of |
heir get which have proved winners |
and amount of money won. 1t so hap |
pens that Of the twelve leading sires of |
he year six are native, and like num-
Der are imported stations. The six ma
i've sires are Iroquois, Spendthrift, Long |
'elow, Onondaga, EOlus and Miser. They |
lave furnished lgS winning representa-
ives during this season, with 1894, 664 TO |
heir credit. The six imported sires are |
Is follows: Mr.. Pickwick, The Ill Used. |
Sir Modred, Rayon Dor, st. Blaise and |
Billet They have 10 winners to their
redit, who have earned S467, 0O4 AS IL
VIII be seen from the above, the native
red sres have furnished twenty-eight
more winners, or nearly 10 per cent. more
han the imported sires, a fact which
peaks well for the potency Of the form
r. The amount OF money won by the
let Of the six American sires exceeds
hat placed TO the credit Of the get of
he six imported sres by s127, 700. 1t
hould be peculiarly gratifying to those
Vhose fancies so out TO the native thor
uShoreds that when comparison is
|
ecially when there exists such a craze
o Import English stations. and the ire
nendous prices that are being paid for
hem. Take for instance the costly Or
monde, recently imported from South
america (where he was obtained from
lnglanO to this coutry for sl5OOOO by
William OBrien McDonough, of Califor-
ia.
No better strains OF thoroughbred blood
re 10 be found in the world than exist
n this country. which has produced
orses able TO compete successfully with
he best produced by the old world. Vir-
inia, so widely celebrated as the home
( the thoroughbred in years gone by, is
gain coming into prominence. Many Of
he best race-horses Of the present day
ave pedigrees which rcst on a founda-
ion, the blood of which was produced
y the Mother OF States.
