ne Will ENJOY MS honeymoon be-
tween the coasts, but will in all prob
ability be present TO see Nancy
Hanks try to take the worlds record
on the ninth.-Western Horseman
4 1t looks like the whole country is
getting enthused on the Jerser COW.
As the time for the big fair draws
nigh the interest in them is spread
ing. The Jersey COW will soon be the
dairy cow of the United States. She
is as certain to be the COW Of the
dairy world as good flower or coffee
is to always command a higher price
over an inferior article.
The following letter will explain
itself: "Dear Baby Mckee You
will please not pillow up the stubble in
the White House lawn this fall. My
Paw has been nominated for Presi-
dent by the white folks, and that
stubbie will make fiue winter pas
ture for my Jersey heifer next win
ter. Yours, "BABY RUTH"
stating big, six-fOOttd, dOub e.
! jOinted rascal, who, by his own ac-
acknowledgements pulled" the horse
Temple Bar, but said he did it under
cunIul-i0n, and not reinstating the
owner Of the horse, or tn horse him
s-lf, especially when the owner OF the
! horse has denied all the time that he
WAS guilty and has called for proof
all along the liue?
1t does not pay to milk "bOther-
some cow" says a farm journal.
May heaven bless you, friend, FIR that
word and the suggestion. But you
told us too late. Our favorite jersey
heifer with sore teat convinced Us
of that fact yesterday evening, and as
we hunted around for Etick and
handy word we might have saved
some of our moral standing if that
euphOnious and expressive word OF
yours had only crossed our mind.
Says that good paper the Western
HOrseman:
ut is said the black whirlwind
Jay-Eye-See, 2:l0, trOtting, is pacing
like streak, and the report is that
he recently paced mile in 2:l3,
which, il be true, means another as
pirant for the 2:06 mark OF Direct
Jsy-Eye-See's 2:I124 mile is Mystic'-
track record, and it will stand for
some time, l reckon, unless 'Our
Nancy or AriOn go against it, which
Is not likely, as their engagements
call them elsewhere"
The chief evidence, we learn, against
DR.. Sales, in the Temple Bar fraud, /
was the evidence of Spears himself,
who acknowledge that she drove the |
horse by orders" No honest driver |
will drive a horse to perpe-
trate 3 fraud. The fact that he |
il rascal should make the |
Board go slow in cOnvicting any |
one else on his individual testimony. !
II DIR. Sales is guilty let us hear all |
the facts and leave no room for flu
ture argument; but let the turf press |
rise up as one man aud protest /
against such a man as the ackuOwl- |
edged "puller," Geo. w. Spears, ever |
driving in an honest race again.
A Tennessee COW has again made a |
fine record, this time in the hands of /
our Monte SanO people. Little |
Goldie," by Little Harry, son of Lord |
Harry, out of a granddaughter of old |
Top Sawyer, made recently "a pounds |
and Is ounces of butter per day. |
There are only three other weekly |
records head of this, none of them |
made South of the Ohio river. If |
Genl. Moore will take a little more
of that blood down there maybe he'll |
beat Lily Flags yearly record, as he |
has already beaten her weekly rec
ord with this young COW.
1.-THE PAGER as q buggy horse is !
liked by some better than a trOtter. |
We enjoyed life better while driving
pair Of fast PAGERS every day than |
u u TO- n - Il
of trotters."
Thus speaks the editor of the West |
ern Horseman. 1t is all prejudice, !
this idea that PAGER is not a good |
buggy horse; his motion is easier, |
swifter and truer than the trOtter,
and there is nothing to compare with |
him when it comes to the ease of his |
motion. All he needs is for some one
like Bonner or Forbes TO set the fash
ion of driving him in order to make
him the most popular harness horse
of the two.
Last winter a gentleman from
Minnesota came down here to buy up
some PAGERS for harness purposes
and carry them home to his State.
In conversation with him we asked
him why he came so far for PAGERS
and why he wished PAGERS for har-
ness purposes anyway, as the fashion
was against them in that line. He
replied that the Tennessee PAGER was
the best he had ever seen and that
he came here for that reason. He
said that up in Minnesota they had
snow for many months during win
ter, and that the people in his city on
the lake had an ice-trach of some
two or three miles long and that they
met every pretty day to drive there
everybody in town that could get up
a rig. When it came to ice be said
the PAGER was like fish in water and
that 200 minute PAGER could beat
2 40 trOtter on it. Hence a big de-
mand for them for winter driving
had now set in.
A writer in the Farmers Home
Journal, touching on the subject in
troduced by US last week, says:
The taste for real saddle horse is
vitiated some these days by a class of
