The track has been covered with dress
ing intermixed with straw and many
tons of salt marsh hay, which it is be-
lieved will be a particularly good protec-
ton against frost.
The grand and judges stands have
been completed with the exception of
some light ornamental work which will
be put on in the spring, and winter wear
saved on them. Mr.. M. r. Pooler of
Skowhegan, owner of Also, Mahlon,
Combine and other superior horses, has
expressed an intention to put up pri-
waite ten stall stable at Rigby next season
for the accommodation of his horses.
Mr.. FL. F. Farnham, the treasurer, has
several fine colts at the park stables, and
will probably winter them there.
Broad Cove Farm
After the hard luck with their colts
last spring, losing six out of seven valua-
BILE ones foaled, the stock of Messrs.
Burnham & Morrill, at Broad Cove Farm,
Falmouth Foreside, are all in prime con-
dition. There are nearly 40 head in this
string, at the head of which is Norway
Knox, 2.29 IL, and several finely BRED
brood mares. Dandy B., in his foursyear
old form this season, was the winner 81
three races and took record of 2.31 IL
at Lewiston. He was also second at
South Paris, and third at Old Orchard in
large fields. In their group of three
year-olds. are the fine tillies Margaret
Knox and Daisy Knox, by Norway Knox,
and Annie B. Hill, by Lumps, dam by
Norway Knox, that took the blue ribbon
at Gorham. Bud is two-year-old, by
Warrener, dam by Norway Knox. that
took the blue ribbon at Gorham in that
class. Jack is a three-year-old by Rocky
fellow, dam Knox, that took first premi-
UNI also at Gorham in his class. Natha-
lie, a brood mare by Knox, dam by
Tuckaha has fine colt by her side, by
The Seer, 2.19 1-2. OF the colts
lost, two were by The Seer, one by
Gamere, two by Dandy B., and one by
Norway Knox-the only colt saved being
Nathalie's foal, by The Seer, above men
toned.
The regulation track of nearly half a
mile on this farm, has proved of great
value in educating as well as exercising.
When they go to track now they know
how to speed turns Dandy B.
is said to be responsible for this pretty
little track. In his yearling form he had
never seen track, and when he went to
Gorham he would 60 all right in the mid
die Of the track. but not all of Ira Wood
bury's skill could make him trot near
the pole. Still. he was good second to !

MaxwelI's Stable.
Fred Maxwell is wintering several fine
horses at his stable on Preble street.
Chief among them is Oakdale Dot,
Portland trotter, that was often heard of
in the campaign recently closed Dot
won some good races. and got piece of
several purses, taking record of 2.29 Ia
and being close up among the leaders in
a heat that was trotted in 2.22 IA. Oak
dale Dot is black gelding, by Wanderer,
a son of old General Knox, and his idam
was by Gilbreth Knox, so that he is
closely inbred Knox. Dots perform
ances this year show that he is a game
and reliable trotter and credit to the
Knox family. At this stable is also the
chestnut gelding Kite, 2.3e. Kite is
particularly speedy sleigh horse, and his
gait is being shifted to pace, to which he
takes quite naturally. Mr.. Maxwell also
has Daisy, fast filly by Portland Pilot,
and handsome bay three-year-old horse
colt by General Weaver, finely bred and
fast trotting stallion that he formerly
owned, and back of that General Weaver
was the property of Mr.. L. P. Hawkins
| of Deering.
PleasantdaIe Farm.
Mr.. A.W. Davis, at Pleasantdale Farm,
not far from Rigby Park, has barn
full of well bred horses which this ex-
perienced trainer SO many years at Bos-
ton, will develop for speed next season.
| Among them is the b. m. Lizzie Good
speed by Maine Blackwood, dam
Blackhawk mare, standard bred and
registered; chestnut three-year old
gelding by Redwood, name Brown Dan,
and the b. 6. &c. o. IT, by Peavy
Knox, dam Harnbletonian mare. Dan
is a green horse. He has started but in two
races and took second money in one.
Mr.. Davis is also breeding and training
two very finely bred and highly prom
ising youngsters for Mr.. Geo. M. Stan
wood. The colts are by the. Deering horse
White, Jr., the property of Col. Edward
Moore, and the horse a son of White,
by Electicneer. The dam of these colts
is Mr.. Stanwood's fast trotting mare
Kittie Y, whose dam was by Olympus.
If ''blood will tell,'' Mr.. Stanwood ought
to have a prize in these youngsters.
