STOCK NOTES.

President L. L. johnson has ap.
pointed a committee of nine, who
will meet in New York next Monday
for the purpose of overhauling the
rules of the National Trotting Asso-
citation, and some material changes
are expected in that document.
Whatever changes this committee
suggest will be submitted to the BIZ
ennial Congress of the National
Trotting Association, which meets
two days later.
Ed. Geers takes Hal Pointer to
Buffalo with him, where he goes to
take charge of the Hamlin stables,
and expects to take him down the
line again this season. BY the way,
Salisbury, the owner of Direct, and
Geers. both signify desire to match
these great Observation-Disclosures
and Direct-again. this season, and
the greatest turf battle of the age
will likely be fought over at Column
bia again. Direct will only make a
short season at Lexington, closing
June 18th, when he will go on the
track again.
To Fausta belongs the honor!of be-
ing the fastest double-gaited yearling
$40 trotting and 2:224 at the pace.
r. B. Withers, of this city, yester-
day shipped to John Thomas at Co.
lumbia, his stallion, Illyrian, by
Shawmutss.s 1926, by Harold, and a
weaving filly by Russia 1927. The
latter is entered in $4,000 yearling
stake for trotters at Columbia. Mr..
Withers hopes to give Illyrian low
mark this season.
A writer in lthe National Stock
man advocates the blanket for horses
that are left standing hitched on the
streets. Many of these animals are
taken from close stables, warmed up
by the drive and left Estanding with
every pore open and perspiration
steaming from them to be chilled by
the air that strikes with double force
when they. are not in action. Colds
are the result, and a valuable animal
is perhaps permanently injured for
want of little forethought and tho
expense of a blanket costing only a
few dollars. In comfortable stable
a horse does not need a blanket, but
the more comfortable the stable the
greater need for the blanket when
the animal is inactive outdoors.
Ninety. one head of stock consign
ed from the Highlawn.S Stock Farm
at Lee, Mass, sold at auction in
New York several days ago at an
average of 81 900 40 per head.
When Senator Stanford first en-
barked in the horse business at Palo
Alto he built grand three story
barn with stalls, feed rooms and liv
ing rooms for the attendants. 1t
took him only year to find .out that
in a California climate the less orna-
mental shed barns was far superior to
the big barn as a horse home, aud
his equine kings and. queens are no
longer stabbed in the big house. The
same rule will apply with equal
force 10 Tennessee. Barns and
stables should be comfortable, but
abundantly aired if hardy, healthy
horses are wanted.
Navaret 92l1, premier stallion at
Maple Hill Stock Farm, the property
of James M. Bowling, will be sent
for record after a short season in
the stud. Navaret is by Nutwood
out of Cuylera by Cuyler-rich in
speed lines on both sides he is built
on The Nutwood model, higher
behind than in front, and having
perfect trotting action his owner has
no lear but that he will set his mark
we'll down in the list.
Constantine 2:194, by Wilkes Boy,
out of Kincora, was bought at auc.
ton Tuesday for $27 900, A. j. Cooley,
Of Lexington, being the purchaser.
