The stallion, Pluto, owned at Fairview
Stock Farm was put to death one day last
week by DR.. Fairbanks, V. S. During
late years he has been used as family
horse and from his fine training he was e1-
tremely valuable in that capacity. but ow-
ing to his age it was deemed advisable to
dispose of him in the way mentioned.

some fine horses. Among them is colt,
which he could have sold for $500 when
only year old.
Day Boy, owned and raised by Adelbert
Hammond of Foxcroft, has been sold to H.

flesh was Pioteer, formerly owned by E..

1t is five years old this season and has been
developed just enough to indicate that he
has an abundance of speed.
Mr.. w. NJ. Roberts of Bar Harbor, has
sold his 3-year-old Island Maid to Mr.. New
hall, secretary of the Philadelphia Horse
Show Association. 1t is learned from good
authority that the price paid was $1,000.
DIR. Morrison sold him his 3-year-old Ida
M. The doctor will not tell the price, but
it was a good round one. Both of the colts
are after the great Dawn R., whose record

Two of the finest stations seen in this
city for many a day, were in town Satur-

these is Vermillion, an imported French

country by J. w. Aiken of New York,

)unds. Both animals are owned by j..
o. Whitney of Thorndike, and w. S. Ed

The Milo horsemen are getting their nags
into condition for the coming races and pro-
pose to be in it this year from start to fin
ish. Won Gil leon is in the pink of condi-
ton and bis owner confidently expects him
t, go into the list early. Lady Alfalfa is be-
ing logged daily and is acting finely. Ned
Franklin never was in so good condition
and is showing fast. Rex NJ. is too well
known to require mention as to Lis capac-
tiles. c. H. West has four-year-old that
is acting we'll.

the rule. No wander the prophets predict
great racing season.

Ernest E. Cross of Portland, bitches his
fast Westland colt Westfeld, with his King
Clifton, %, for a speed education. West
field was the most promising yearling to be
found early last season, but took bad cold
later on and went wrong. In the two-year-
old form he is large, very handsome and
equally promising as to speed, and his ca
reer will be observed with interest by the
owners OF Westland stock in this
section.
