OF his 2-year-old form for $12, 900, and it is
quite safe to say that he since sold for @
much less sum of money. Mr.. l.. j.
Rose, in letter from New York, wrote
me that Nomad, owned by him at the
time, was a good colt. but he believed
that Dagonet could give him pounds
and His Highness 10 at least. This,
however, was written in June, several
weeks before the Monmouth meeting,
and showed how accurately the old gem
tleman on the hill had looked the ground
over.
Michael Dwyer is likely to have
great horse in Nomad, by Wildidle, out
of Rinfax's dam, an imported mare by
Lowlander. All of us who are familiar
with the Wildidles (whom 1 deem the
best American exponents of tho
Matchem line) know that they are
like good wine and improve with age, if
not knocked to pieces as 2-year-olds.
Nomad is large and well.grown 4-year-
old and will have to shoulder ITO pounds
in the Suburban, and if he has wintered
aH we'll as am informed, he ought to be
troublesome horse. He is manifestly
the inferior of Tammany and Lamp
lighter, but 1 doubt exceedingly if
either of them can give him IL pounds
in the greatest of all the Coney Island
handicaps.

There is another "Rising Rein" affair
at New Orleans, sort of sequel to the
"Polk Bsdgett" rascality at Cincinnati
last year; and the same parties are evil

They had ascertained that this horse
was in some way owned or controlled by
the notorious firm of Brannon Brothers.

And SO Los Angeles is to have spring
race meeting with eight days. races and
four events each day. OF these there
will be three purses of $1,000 each, and
that is what will bring the horses here.
and after them the people. For board
composed exclusively of trotting horse
men, I call it as liberal programme as it
is far-seeing and intelligent. All they
have got to do now is to elect Judge to
preside and then stand by him. If he
imposes fines and penalties upon delin-
quent owners and recalcitrant jockeys,
stand by him and do not remit them
all after the meeting is ended.

am glad to see this for the reason
that know of no wintering ground for
racehorses in America that equals Los
Angeles. 1t rains less and has better
track under foot at Bakersfield but the
nights there are intensely cold and a
preliminary scrape, as every old trainer
knows by his personal experience. is
very apt to result in lung fever if the
utmost care is not taken in "doing up"
a horse after strong gallop. 1t is with
this end in view, knowing that there
are at least 80 days between November
and March at Los Angeles, when the
thermometer strikes 72 at p. M, that
pronounce it the best of all winter
grounds.

fellow said: "Well, those two Oregon
mares are as good as any. Misty Morn |
has the most speed but Rosebud can
live the longest in hard drive, to my
idea."
This seems enigmatical to me, for l
know that Whynot was a slayer while

five and half furlongs. 1 even timed

Mr.. Bybee lost verv valuable horse
when st. Paul died. He was bred very
near right, having the blood of Orlando,
Stockwell, Faugh-a- -Ballagh and Panta--
loon in the first four crosses, reinforced
by the choicest of American strains be-
yond that. l advised George Leihy,
last December, to buy Misty Morn If he
could get her for $4,000; and 1 don't see
why he did not do 30. Perhaps Mr.. By
bee did not deem that price sufficient
one. HIDALGo.
