yeRr-uId, which in itself il the most
wonderful record ever made by a
horse. Compared to human events,
it would be like sophomore making
the speeches of Henry Clay, or a
school boy leading the retreat of

is he cut of so qnick'y-but he slopes
away gradually, and his powerful
slOping thighs taper away 40 gradu-

the thigh stops aud the legs begi'.
And both are strong and powerful.
In front, too, his crest is not so high,
being more Oh the order Of the saddle
horse again, but his long siOping
shoulders show how we'll he was
m&de for his business. Among other
good ones was the beautiful mare
M0utrOse, two ytar-old record 2:lS,
also the property Of Mr.. Forbes. She
il by Electioleer out of Rosemont,
IL daughter of the famous Beautiful
Bells. Another, and perhaps the
speedlest Of them ali is Belle Flower,
full sister 20 st. Bel, Bow Bells and
others. This three-year old is simply
n trotting wonder. Last week at
Lexington, she acted badly in her
race and got way behind the field;
but when she did square away she
trotted Il half mile in 50 seconds, and
Il quarter in % seconds. She is
owned by Miller q Sibley, Franklin

Mr.. Jones, head trainer of the
Standard 1rottiug Horse Company,
took great pleasure in showing us al
so, two of the grs attest young horses
ih the country. They were the five
year-old stallion Poctulus, 2:1234 by
Patronage, and the mare AliN 2:l212,
four years old, and which il ut from
Le&ingt0n where she landed winner
in the $1,000 race for her class, beat
ing our Tennessee mare Belle Archer
and others. Thu Sc two have nearly
the same record and are destined,
if nothing happens, 10 take stu faster

wish lhtm all success and Il pleasant
