A Notable Ice Race.

1t is just 10 years ago this winter that
quite notable match ice race took place
on Back Bay ON four track course of
about the same length and running over
the same ground as the present one. The
four contesting horses were Jack Spratt,
Barney, Fanny NJ and Flirt. Each Of
their respective owners put up so much
money to trot for, best three heats in
five. the winner to take the entire pool.
1t was Jack Spratt's first race, and the
one which caused his present owner, Mr..
VIM. Smell, to purchase him in the fol-
lowing spring of 'S3. Smell measured
the ice and figured out that he must
have gone PIP clip which was proba-
bly, correct, for he got a record of 2.21 In
the Cumberland County Fair at Gorham
last fall. Spratt was driven by Scribner.
Barney at the time had record Of 2.291.
He was handled by Ira Woodbury.. Fan
ny NJ. was then a green mare driven by
VIM. Ramsey. She afterwards got a
race record of 2.27a. Flirt was in the
hands of RamsdeH and her record was
235.
Each horse had squirt track, a
rod or so of snow intervening so that
there was no chance of fouling. John
Hussey was the starter, and it was quite
a long time before they got away even,
for it was a race for ''blood' as the horse
people express it and not for glory. The
then comparatively unknown Jack Spratt
took the lead and won in three straight
heats, though hard pushed by the veter-
an B rney under the skillful guidance of
the then young Woodbury.. The race
drew out an immense crowd and it was
feared at one time that the ice might
give way I'm der the enormous weight,
but it did not-only cracked a little
sufficient to cause a lively scampering
among the spectators.

One reason why The Texas grass cattle
runs are keeping up so well is because
cotton-seed hulls aud meal are not 50
plentiful and cheap as u year ago, and
owners are also finding it more difficult
to get money for carrying purposes. The
most important reason, however, is the
widespread droHh in the Lone Star
