mia breeder, has Under consideration
transferring his great unbeaten El Rio
Rey TO Minneapolis, MINI, placing him
in that city ia the hands OF q firm OF
veterinary surgeons, who have been
very successful in treating trotting
horses for the same silment that retired
this sensational two-year.old from the
turf. Outside OF his wind FL Rio Rev Ia
as sound az the day he was foaled and
his breeder believes that should these
veterinarians be successful in their
operation in relieving his detected wind
power, Marian's greatest produce will
become king OF the turf again. II un-
successful the marvellous performer Is
etill saved for the stud and at any reae-
enable cost IL loooks like the experiment
in his case is worth trying. The opera
ton performed BIZ this firm consists of
opening the throat OF the animal and
removing the affected glands, which are
in She shape OF crumpled heavy tissue
paper like sail flaps. The operation,
while very delicate, il by no meane dan
gerous.

of Flood and imported Rosetta, II turns
ont was not as sick at Ogden as first re-
for the colt and balance of the

shape on their arrival at Cheyenne, on

Over 1000 trotters started to obtain
tin-cup records last year, which Is the
best possible evidence that marks oil
that character do not mean a great deal,
A trotter that with the aid of the kite
track and bicycle Hulky cannot step 9
mile in 1850 against the watch on Q
etill day and with the pole all the way
around would not beat a good 40 nag in /
race. Not so much will be heard OF thu
cup records this season as last, and til,
top of the market in regard to this pecu
liar phase of the trotting horse industry
was reached in 1891. SO general has til,
knowledge OF the worthleasnees OF such
performances become, that nowadays
man is ashamed to talk about his etsl
| lion getting record against the watcl
unless the mile lie done in 2 :15 or better
and even that ia nothing like as good a
an old-fashioned race record, when
was fret money that the battle was b,
ing fought about, and every contestan
drew high-wheel eulky, Breeders ca
make no better resolve, now that tn
opening of the trotting season is at hant
than to forswear time records of o
descriptions.
