QUERIES AND ANSWERS.

QUEsTION-Who bred Robin parsons
Horse, owned by Hezekiah Parsons,
Colebrook, n. H., from about 1910 to
1859? What year was he foaled and
who were the successive owners from
breeder to Hezekiah Parsons? What
year did John Bellows sell Cock of the
Rock, son of Sherman Morgan:
j. G.. SPAULDING, Sandy Hook, n. j.
ANS. We do not know anything at
all about Robin (Parsons IIorse) and
hope any one who does will give the de-
sired information. John Bellows owned
Cock of the Rock in 1892, but what year
he sold him to HOratio Sargent we don't
know.

THE TROTTING MARKET.

A question that we often hear asked IN
these days in connection with the great
winter sales of trotters is: "Will the
bottom drop out!" There are not lack
ing those who are inclined to answer in
the affirmative, believing that break in
prices must necessarily result. from the
throwing of so many horses on the mar
ket as will pass through the great sale
marts between now and the spring. Our
answer to the question is yes and no.
That there has been drop in prices for
all but choice offerings there can be no
doubt, and there probably will be a
still further decline; but that the market
for the cream of trotting stock is still
strong and safe is demonstrated every
time good and Understandable stuff is
brought into the sale-ring.
1t must not be forgotten that the last
| five or six years have been booming
years in the trotting- horse business, and
prices have steadily and rapidly advanc-
ed, occasionally soaring so high as to
] ihtONhi ~
times the market took on wildcat symp.
toms, and horses having neither first
class breeding, first-class individuality
nor any marked turf capacity have sold
for prices that only animals of first-class
credentials in every respect should have
brought. Naturally in the course of
time the falsity of these prices became
apparent, and the animals when resold
brought nearer their true value. Then,
again, it should be remembered that as
we are advancing in breeding there is a
corresponding advance in the public edu-
cation on trotting blood and the essen
tials in animals designed for the stud
and hence the buyers are becoming
more exacting in their requirements
They will pay far higher to-day thar
they would three years ago for what Il
first-class, but they Judge by higher
standard that they did three years ago
The material that would have brought
top prices three or five years ago vii

Uncle Berry fully concurred Simon

General jackson did not escape him
and no man was his superior in repair

"'On one occasion Colonel Elliott
and James jackson, with Il view to a
match race for 81 ,O00a side, dash of
two miles, on Paddy Cary against Colo
mel Steps mare, consented to lend Sim
on to ride the mare.
Colonel Step only gave Simon 500
in the race, but stimulated his pride by
saying they thought they could win races
without him, whereas he knew their
success was owing to Simon's riding.
Somewhat offended at the idea of being
lent out. and by no means Indifferent to
the money, Simon resolved to win if
possible. and nodding his head, said,
"l'll show en-" The mare had the
speed of Paddy, and took the track, and
Simon, by his comsummate skill, as well
as by intimidating the other rider, man
aged to run him far out on the turns
while lie rested his mare for brush on
the stretches. On reaching the last
turn Simon found the mare pretty tired,
and Paddy, game four-miler, locked
with her. so he boldly swung out so far
as to almost leave Paddy in the fence
corner. The boy came up and attempt
ed to pass on the inside, but Simon head
ed him off, and growled at him all the
way down the quarterstrctch, beating
him out by neck. Simon could come
within il hairs breadth of foul riding,
and yet escape the penalty. Colonel
Elliott lost his temper. which he rarely
did, and abused Simon, saying, "Not
satisfied with making Paddy run forty
feet farther than the mare on every turn,
you must ride foul all the way down the
quarterstretch. The colonel repeated
these charges until Simon answered him
with, "Well, Colonel Elliott Gas he al
ways called him), I've won many IA &c
that way for you, and it is the first
time ever heard you object to it,"
