during the season. Nearly all OF his con-
tests were over the tracks of the minor
associations like Brighton Beach, clifton,
Gutenberg, &c. where small purses were
offered, which accounts for his not win
ming larger sum than that credited TO
him.
Artillery was owned at the beginning
OF the racing season OF 1894 by Mr.. A.
ID. Payne. OF Charlottesville, Va, the
master OF Annita Stud Farm. where the
chestnut colts dam is stll retained.
Starting out in the stable OF William

An exchange furnishes the following
sensible suggestions
With the close Of the season 1893 the
work Of 1894 begins. In the training Of
trotters eternal vigilance is the price OF
success. II is unremtting care, unceasing
toll at this season Of the year which turns
into dollars later on. If the trainer who
is wintering a stable Of valuable horses
can find nothing to DO but sit by the fire,
he can blame only himself If he sits be-
hind next summer when the money is
hung up Little things neglected now,
such as the care Of the feet, the proper
ventilation and cleanliness Of the stall,
the regular exercise, even though the
weather may not be the best, may cause
an irreparable loss. The winter work
cannot be deferred till spring. but, like
everything else Of Importance, must be
done in its proper time and place

anything to brag on in selling so great
a horse for so small a price. We left

In the same letter Capt. Williamson
sends me a lock of hair each from the
names Of the great thoroughbred stall
lions Lorgfellow and Ten Brock. which
he secured while on a visit 10 the home
of those great sires. at Midway. ky., in
1884. Now that those mighty sircs and
brilliant turf performers Of years gone by
have passed to the great beyond, Capt.
Williamson's kind remembrance is appre-
ciated all the more, and ] shall both prize
and guard the strands Of glossy black hair
with unusual care.
