FOR THE CHARTER OAK $4,000 STAKE.
The race was pre-eminently the great
event of the whole meeting. the purse being
the $4,000 Charter Oak guarantee stake,
and some of the best horses in the coun-
try were entered, Belle Vara being favor
tie on account of her 2:15 record.
They tried a dozen times before they
got the word ego" from the starter in the
Judges stand, and then the fourteen horses
were off with bound. At the quarter
pole they were all in flock, but soon it
commenced to assume the aspect of pro-
cession more. Globe was in the lead and
Belle Vara close second, and Illinois Egg
bert crowded fast after Belle Vara. Night
ingale was going along excellently, but sud
denly broke and dropped to the rear.
Around the track they sped and into the
home stretch with the leaders unchanged.
The drivers were now shouting and plying
Globe winning by neck in 2:14a, Belle
Vara second, Illinois Egebert third, Jesse
Hanson fourth, and Nellie Mason fifth.
In the second heat the jet-black mare,
belonging to D. B. Anderson of Franklin,
O., distinguished herself and won in 2:l3t,
Globe coming in close second with Sadie
NJ. third. In the third heat Nightingale
led during the last quarter mile, coming in
| in 2:14a. Instant spurted on the home
stretch and came in second, jesse Hanson
third and Virginia Evans fourth.
| In the fifth heat Nightingale appar emily
started to run again. She was ahead at
the quarter pole, Jesse Hanson close SEQ
| ond with Globe third. In the distance
Globe passed Jesse Hanson and Belle Vara
came up to third place. In the stretch
Nightingale led and passed under the wire
in 2:144, with Globe second and Belle Vara
third
Mr.. D. B. Anderson of Franklin, O., the
owner of Nightingale, thus won first
money. It ia a peculiar circumstance that
a roam mare named Nightingale and owned
by 9. J. Hamlin of Buffalo, N. Y, won
the $1O, 900 race last year. The cognomen
| Nightingale thus appears to be lucky
| one. Mr.. Hamlin's bay Gelding, Globe was
awarded second money, Belle Vara, 6
brown mare owned by S. 81. Brown Of
Kalamazoo, Mich, was awarded third
money, and Instant, bay mare owned by
William G. Trimble of Newburg, N. Y,
was awarded fourth.
In the third heat there came near being
an accident. Nelly Mason, bay mare
owned by Dubois Brothers of Denver
Col, fell down between the quarter an6
the half mile poles. She nor her driver
were injured, however, and she was given
fourteenth place instead of being dis
tanced.
To-day's was the fastest average evel
made in the SIC, 1000 stake race.

CROSSBRED MUTTON.
Australian Experience in Crossing Merino
with a Mutton Type.

with a Mutton Type.
Some Australian breeders began ex-
periments at crossing Merino ewes with
rams of the British types, with the view
to determine how far efforts at meeting
the demand for crossbred mutton might
be safely and proftably adhered to. The
results of these experiments were alluded
to at some length in the late annual re-
port of the chief inspector Of stock for
New South Wales, who has evlnced a
deep interest in the foreign meat trade
of that colony since it's inception.
A feature of this report that will have
peculiar interest for breeders in this
country is its reference to the compare
tive results from series of crosses upon
Merino ewes by rams of different British
types. OF course these are by no means
conclusive. Equally certain it is that
the accuracy of results arrived at will be
challenged by the admirers of the differ
emit breeds mentioned.
At the same time an interesting line
of inquiry is opened up by the sugges-
ton: Why is it that in series of ex-
periments with both wethers and ewes,
separately conducted, with animals 9, -,
"a and SO months old, the result should
invariably show in favor of the Lincoln
breed? Crosses giving next best results
follow in this order: Border Leicester,
Romney Marsh, Hampshire, Leicester,
Southdown, Cotswold, Shropshire. The
differences between the best of these
were not very great, but in all of them
the Merino-Lincoln is reported to be the
best, value of wool and mutton con-
sidered.
This no more determines the relative
value Of mutton rams for crosses on
Merino ewes in this country than the
presence of one swallow will prove that
spring has come, but if the results as re-
corded will serve to stimulate the man
ayers of experiment stations to take up
and follow the line indicated much will
be done in the direction of securing a
more general recognition of the merits
of all breeds in their purity as well as
their value for advancing the standard
of the many millions Of sheep now ham
died without adequate profit to owners
and with too little benefit to the coun-
try.-Breeder's Gazette.

the waves. Instances have occurred,
however, in which the wooden stalls
have been broken from their fastenings
by the force of the waves, and stalls,
steers and all swept overheard.
The cattle can stand upright or lie
down at will in the sheds. Straw is
packed above them. This they eat, and
it also protects them in some measure
from the lurching of the ship. But ii
does not protect them altogether, and
no cattle ship ever arrives at port with
out considerable percentage of loss
from the crushed ribs and broken legs
of the steers that have been hurled
against the sheds with violence. These
of course must be thrown overheard,
and are loss to the insurance compa-
MES which take risks on this kind of
freight. Free passage to Europe is given
to men who are willing to go along and
do the work of feeding the cattle. A
young divinity student lately made a
trip to Europe in this way.
Less downright torture and brutality
attend the cattle shipments than was
the case before dehorning was SO gener-
ally practiced. The wretched animals
used to gore one another SO frightfully
that death frequently resulted. The in
tentions of the cattle shipping compa-
MES are good, and they do what they
can for the comfort of the steers, but
when they reach the other side-that is,
to say the other side of the ocean-they
are too often SO thin and in such bad
condition that they are only fit for sau-
sage and are slaughtered Immediately.
The best are fattened BY British feeders
to be sold again in the market.
A contributor to The National Stock
man claims to have cured cases of
scratches, which were 80 bad that the
horses could not lie down, and the legs
were swollen and skin cracking "from
the hips to the hoofs," by bathing with
thick sour buttermilk. The worst case
was taken on Monday evening, and
after three applications the animal was
put at work on Thursday cured, "as
sound and supple as she ever was" Two
other cases We're cured by two applica-
tions each, and the bare spots where the
sores had been were covered with a
healthy growth of hair in short time.
1t was applied by rubbing on with a
cloth for about a half hour at time,
and its effects were almost immediate.
This is worth knowing, for If it will
cure so severe case of scratches as he
describes, it would cure other sores, and
an ordinary case would be cured by
single bathing Cultlvator.
