He Is a Tom Hal.

As far back as forty years ago, Maj
Kittreu. who brought Kittrell's Tom
Hal, sire of GibsOn's Tom Hal, from
Kentucky. and owned him for many
years, IN speaking of the Tom Halls,
remarked in effect, that they had
grown so popular that it was quite
common for q certain kind OF horse
traders to claim everything they
owned to be "a Tom Hal" With the
advent of the register and the closer
study OF pedigrees, and the stronger
demand for correct pedigrees, this
practice has been wiped out so that
now the person who claims pedi-
gree for his horse must be able to
prove it, or he will find he will have
no buyer. But it is hard to eradicate
an evil entirely; one generation
touches hands with the next proceed
ing; the faults, habits, incOnsisten
cies of fathers, cOlor-deeply or light
Iy, the life and character of the son.
''To make a healthy child" says EN-
mersOn, 1--WE must first have four
healthy grandparents
A recent writer, who had been to
Middle Tennessee, remarks that
everything there is tom Hal, "
aud has his usual fun at the inconsis-
tency of such thing. Now the cause
of this is not necessarily any inten-
tional dishonesty on the part OF the
owner of the supposed "Iom Hal"
but more, we hope, the fault OF care
lessness and inaccurate talklng-all
of which leads to inaccurate" trade
ing-if we may invent term for old
fashion lying. TO be a Tom Hal
should mean in general horse phrase
oIogy to he a son of Tom Hal or a
grandson at the furthest, and even
then IL is far better to say definitely
and specifically just what relation
ship the animal bears to the original
head. A grandson of Tom
Hal carries only % per cent. of his
blood; great-grandson only l2J2 per
cent. In the latter event to call the
horse a Tom Hap is to put a false
value on seven-eights of his pedig' ee.
Under this state of affairs it is a
wonder that the Tom Hal fami-
iy had not long ago been ruined in
reputation for as every horse with "a
small perez n age of Tom Hal bl' Cd
has gone out as a Tom Hal, the fami-
ly has had to carry, in that horse, not
only the good aud bad qualities OF the
Tom Halls, but also seven Fights OF
those OF some unknown or Indifferent
blood. And the fact that the Tom
Hal family has kept up its reputa-
ton under this state of things, shows,
first, that they are good; but 1t shows
secondly and more strongly that
they are not the only good
ones; for the seven-eights or the
three-quarters, or the one half OF 9TH
er blood was there too, and fortunate
Iy for the horse and fortunately for
the owner, those larger fractional
parts were Pilots, Travellers, Slashers,
Brooks, billiards, Denmarks and the
other strong lines, which, mingled
with the Tom Halls, have carried the
! flag of the tennessee PAGER to the
front in so many turf battles. We
merely use this family as an illustra'
ton. 1t applies equally to trotters or
other pacing families.

The PAGER Naturally Fast.

The PAGER has always been a little
faster than the trOtter, and this, too
in face of the fact that no attention
has been paid to him as a race horse
little money spent in perfecting his
gait and little skill and judgment
used in developing his speed lines by
proper breeding. What he is is largely
the result of chance ana his own good
qualities.
AS far back as 1880 bay gelding
named Drover paced in 2:28, being the
first horse that ever went below 2:3O
and this was five years before Lady
Suffolk trOtted the first mile below
2:3O. In 1855 the pacing mare POca-
hOntas paced a mile in 2:171a to q
wagon, which preceded Flora Tenn
ple's mile in 2:19la by four years
Twelve years later Dexter trotted q
mile in 2:174, a quarter of second
faster than PocahOntas, but certainly
not equal to her performance because
of the fact that the mare drew wagon
while Dexter drew "a sully.
Maud $. made 2:10 before any PAGER
attained that limit, but Johnston
came along soon afterwards and cut
it down to 2:O614, which was never
equaled until the game little Direct
cut Off the quarter last year There
it remains pa seconds faster than the
fastest trotting record.
