Ihe reporter OF Inc DAZOO OIOpPeO
in on Blair Bros, yesterday and here
is what he heard in answer to his In
quiry about the trip E. r. Blair. of
the firm who hasjust been to New York.
Yes l took two twc-year-olds and
two yearlings with me-all of them
thorOughbreds and 1 may say good
individuals.
Did you find ready sale for them !?
Yes, / had sold on representation
the two two-year-olds to Mcmahon
& Co., the former by the way
is father.inlaw of the famous
Jockey, Snapper Garrison
Was he pleased with the colts?
l should say $3.50 well that he
bought the other two in five minutes.
Could you have sold more?
had none to offer and can not say
although we have just received an
order from Brooklyn for good two
year old that we cannot fill.
hear you bought some stations
and brought them home with you
would you mind to tell the readers Of
the BAzoo something about them?
Why, certainly-there is nothing
private in our business-we bought
FALCON to use in The FALCON STUD.
You know that is the name our farm
is baptized with, and let me say to
to you that Falcon is a model Of a
thoroughbred and a race horse for
your vhiskers.
How is Falcon bred?
Falcon is by the great horse Fails
etto, out of Mollie Woods, by Lexing-
ton !; second dam Hymenia dam of
Virgil by Imported Yorkshire. Fall
con is full brother to Gsscon, one of,
if not the best two-yesr-old of his
year. and l am told that the horse
that beats him this year will have a
horse race on his hands.
Has Falcon won races?
Why yes. He won the st.
Louis Derby in 1888 and
ran second the same year to
the great Emperor of Norfolk in the
American Derby, Beating White,
Los Angeles and other cracker jacks,
and he has since then won many first
class races.
Is he now broken down?
No sir, but to the contrary he is rs
sound as old democracy and we int nd
to race him after the breeding seas on
is over.
Have you any other race horses ?
Yes, we will race Long Jack an
other stallion we brought home and
I can say he also is a highly bred fel-
low by Virgil out of Heliotrope
by Imported Knight Of st.
George, and is one of the best
money makers ever raised in Califor-
MIA. We will also race J. B. Clay, by
Longfellow, out OF Anne Boleyn, by
Tom Bowling. and let me say to you
that you had better put two dollars on
him when we start him.
How do you tell a race horse?
Well, now you tell me how to tell
one, and I'll give you So 1000, for 1
could then 60 to New York or Ken
lucky and get better salary than the
President gets; yet there are essential
requirements of size, conforma-
ton, etc., that we fellows get on
to, but it would wear you
out to hear it all, and as there is no
money in the tobacco box for telling
it, guess we will let it slide to-day.
You folks have quite q breeding
farm near town, haven't you?
Yes, we have about twenty thor
oughbreds at the farm and expect ten
colts this year. One has already
shown up-a filley colt by j. B.
Clay, out of Surprise, by Damon !;
second dam Pest, by Imported Phae-
ton.
Do you like the Falsettos?
Oh, yes; Falsetto by Enquirer, out
of Farfalletta, by Imported Austral.
ian, was not only race horse of the
very highest class. stake winner at
all distances, but his produce have
shown the very highest race horse
qualities on the turf-for instance,
Dewdrop, Falcon, Fordham, Rnp.
erta, Foxmede, and Gascon, q full
brother to our horse, Falcon, and
scores of others attest the racing
qualities Of his offspring. No sire
imparts more speed than Falsetto.
Last year he had As starters and re-
turned 20 winners aud won a total of
81 races. He had 13two-yesr-olds to
start and nine were winners.
He had IA three-year- olds and
seven of them won first money. They
are big, strong horses and can carry
weight. Why, Falcon took up 1874
pounds and won at one mile and
. quarter on the the turf.
