In answer to an inquiry OF his
views on the proposed AXtell-Al-
lertOn race Mr.. Salisbury says: 1.-The
owners OF AxtelI are very conserva-
tive gentlemen and will take no
chances. II the horse proves TO be all
right, they will permit him to meet
AIlertOn, and in my opion Axtell VIII
beat him. He was always faster than
Allerton and always stuck to the trot
better than he. With DOble to con-

A writer in an exchange says:
"There Is one thing which bothers
me, and | am not the only one down
with the same complaint; that Is, TO I'M

worthless stock A. to consume 1t all,
and come out of winter with less mon

years labor"

and over you go with bound that
runs your buggy nearly over your
horse.
