Horsemen are often sadly imposed
upon by makers of horse goods. Now
the tariff is bad enough, the mer-
chants 20o@ is added to that and ON
top of all you may safely add about
100 per cent more just because they
are bOrse-gOOds And why? Well
il must be because the average horse
man is happy-gO-lucky sort of a
fellow, flush if i'm luck, broken IL not,
and the dealer well knows that he'll
buy anything his horses need II he
has to send his children to bed with
half meal. Horse goods are high.
IL is safe to say that such goods as
scalpers, boots, supports, shields,
| Iight-harness and the various para
phenalia of the light-harness horse -
| sold at above twice their wOrth-or
rather what they should be sold for.
The running horsel men have been
clammoring for some time to prove
that the trOtting horse interest would
be greatly benefited by the free use OF
running blood close up. Yesterday
Billy Bush, by Mccoy c., son Of Nc
Curdy's Hambletonian, raised by A.
N. Akin, Esq start In running
race at Nashville and made AN ex-
cellent showing for q "trOtting bred
runner" being third or fourth. Per-
haps since this experiment has been
tried the trOtting men may develop
"bang-tails" along that line Of breed
ing and turn the tables on our thor
oughbred friends.
The recent fine weather is putting
the farmer in good spirits and hrs
farm in good fix. Wheat and oats
are doing finely; potatoes improving
a nd corn canning m and UOnA atanna
reported, except where washed out
on hillsides. As for the calves and
colts, cattle and horses, they are
basking in sunshine and rolling in
blue grass; thoroughly convinced
with Thomas Carlyle, who said he
was certain of only one thing in this
! life, and that was that he had a
| stomach.
The bylaws OF The Maury County
Lamb and Wool Club allows each
member to eep but one dog fox
hounds excepted) and each of his
tenants is to keep bnt one. All
others to be taxed, which tax goes
into the exchequer OF the club. You
will hear from this club when the
legislature meets. Ten thousand
lambs and 10000 sheep in Maury
County represents 900 worth OF
IeduY cdHu lOT Nn6 DOChtbhs
The figures would be doubled three
times If the sheep had any protection
at all.
The attention of breeders Is called
to the fact that Margin, trOtter, by
Cuyler, dam Emma Arteburn, by
MambrinO Patchen, lin the great
broad mare list) is standing at my
farm at $25 by the insurance.
TaT H. Hal Tairn Of
Hal Pointer dam by Joe Bowers,
sire of Joe Bowers Jr., 2:1S, is also
standing there at SIS blythe insurance

Many people think Senator Stan
ford is in the breeding business for
pleasure, but Palo Alto pays better
than the Southern Pacific Railroad.
He has sold almost 100000 worth OF
trotting stock since January LIST.
Has three horses that would bring as
mu IN more and could sell another
800, 900 worth and hardly miss them,
and then have 81 900, 600 worth left.
The mare MambIinO Morris, by
Mambrno Forrest, dam the noted
race mare Mary Morris, by Lexing-
ton, property of Il. S. Thomas aud X.
VI. w lllldulb, Has hAOHBOA a
Wilkes, one of the handsomest colts
OF the season. 1t was 3 IT inches
high, of very fine bone and strongly
made. The mare will be bred back
to Adfield.
Mr.. James o. Alexander, 3 miles
south of Columbia on the BighyYille
pike has three of as handsome Duplex
colts as one wishes to see. All are out
81 T,I ~ ~
neighbor, his father, is wont to call
her Mr.. Alexander is having the two
year-Old colt trained and he Is show
ing fine speed. He is beauty.
An article in this mornings issue
OF the Democrat credited to The Turf
Field and Farm should have been
credited to The HERALD. No blame
attaches to the Democrat as The Turf
Field and Farm published 1t without
credit and Tie Democrat very
naturally supposed it was theirs.
Fifteen members met Monday
and organized a Lamb and Wool
Club. They subscribed l,5QO lambs.
The ball is only just started and
many more will come in. 1t Is safe
to say that there are 10000 lambs or
more in this county whose owners
should be in this club
The Lamb Club did some vigorous
talking Monday against the worthless
dogs. On every side among by
ISLANDERS might have been heard the
remark, "well, 1 did keep sheep once,
but the dOgs"-yOu know the rest,
reader.
At the South Side track Johnny
Walker has as good a string AZ can
well be gotten together i'm this end of
the horse world. There are Fred >.

2:l71I Belle III. by Belmont, dam by
Onward; Blue Hal, the phenomenal
year old, by Tom Hal, dam by Blue
Bull; and many other good ones,

One of COIumbia's guests to the
Scotch-Irish Convention just adj
! iourned at Atlanta remarked that a
gentleman who accompanied Mr..
Bonner thither, says, i'm speaking OF
! SunOI, that she was very cross and ir-
ritable and that he would not go into
her stall for "A great deal.
See that the harness fits the horse,
not tightly, out loose enough 80 ho
can spread himself. When the traces
are frightened have the breeching
loose enough for assmall boy to crawl
through between the horse and
breeching strap. Let the breast col
lar come up to the lower point Of the
neck and have the breeching on line
with it.-SpOrtsman.
Mr.. J. G. Lang, who has been at the
kite shape track for some months,
| left this morning for Meadville,
! Penn, from whence be will soon go
out in some engagements. He car
ried Ella Brown and Jefiie Lee, by
Red Pilot, with him, and many other
good ones.
A monument will be erected over
J Rysdyk's HambletOnian at Chester In
Orange County, Pa. The inscription
at the base will be: "HambletOnian,
the great progenitor Of trOtters. Born
May 5, 1S49. Died March p, 1876.
His nobility was the act of inherent
power"
