| Stables.
Cornish is noted forsome of the finest
horses owned in Maize, and according
to it's size has probably more fast and
noted ones than any other town in the
State. A representative of the PRESS
has visited these sta bis recently to view
the preparation for thu season.
The first call was atthe stable OF the
well known horsemaI Frank 2. Fox,
who showed his ten campaigners and
many others, of whid will be noted
principally those which are to be worked
for speed the comiis season. The
favorite without doubt is the little
chestnut, Dan Berry, record 2.26 1-2
Last season he won nile races and was
not behind the monS in the others:
Milo, brown geldins, has record
2. 81 -1-2, won the four last races, which
he started in last season. Jennie,
chestnut mare, has record 2.41-2,
Wannubek, bay geldinl, has a record OF
2. 81 Ia; LID, bay geldng, has record
of 2. 81; Edwin Russell brown gelding,
four year old, in twp races obtained
record Z. A 10 Stanby. chestnut gelding,
| no record; Roise, record 2.39 IA, as a
2-year-old, now three years old, later
in the season will be fitted for stake
races in Maine and Massachusetts,. The
five races in which he has started he
won. His sire was a full brother to
Sunol. II. E., brown gelding, has a
record of 2.25 Ia as a irotter. He will
be paced the coming season; Maine
Prince, bay gelding, will stand in stud
speed. He has never BEEN fitted for the
race course, but shows much speed. He
is the sire of many fast horses, among
them are Gertie b, Feamaught, Prince,
Linwood and Vendoms. Mr.. Fox ex-
poets to have several more on his string
including Belle Chase, PAGER, who OBJ
tanned record OF 2. % 81, by Robinson,
d; record All; Eula, by mare, 2.39 IA;
Themis, bay mare, record 2.25, which
trotted last year, will be paced last Of
the season, after she Weans her colt,
which is by Messenger Wilkes, 2. 20.
Among the many others which Mr..
Fox has, not to be sampaigners, we
should not fail to mention Pickpocket
(9657), record 2. 32. This horse is now
"a years of age, but grand horse, and
getting great stock. He is by Peguawket
(244). D I'VE
The next call was at The stable of N.
J. Foss. Mr.. Foss's business is such
that ne cannot campaign many this
season. He has Harry T., bay gelding,
record 2.49 IA; Ned Hunter, roam,
record PA IA, trial 2.23; colt by
Mamie W., 2 years ola; and possibly
King Street, sorrel, record 2.33 II;
and Valkyr, brown mare, record 2.53,
which will be campaigDed.
! ~ III of np 1rnS
seen Keystone, bay gelaing Qs44!D who
will be worked this season, record 2. % IA.
W. j. Sweeney hasa fine year old,
Sldero, who won the 2>year-old colt
stake race last season al Ossipee Valley
Fair.
The next call was at the fine stables of
the Flint Brothers, where was met the
noted trainer and driver, Mr.. Mahlan
Jordan. At these stables are some very
fine brood mares and colts, besides
those that are to be worked for speed.
Those that are to be campaigned the
coming season may be mentioned: at the
head stands the noted and royalty bred
Choralist Q4516), bay gelding, sired by
Chimes (534S), by Electioneer Q25), day
Brilliant by Almont .Jr. Q829). He has
never been trained for speed. He will
begin the LIST OF July. He IS pacer,-
and has been entered in stake race, State
Fair. He will without doubt prove a
fast one.
Next comes Emir 1879, bay s., record
2. "a ga, stands 16 hands, by Belmont
This horse will be campaigned after
July 1st; Orville 1917, by s., has record
of 2.27 3D., by which he won the 9Th
heat over a one-half mile track at Tops
ham, Ned Allen has record of 2.3l. He
is by Rex Patchen, and will be trotted
early in the season. He is in fine shape
now; Wolfewood, brown s., by Wood
bine, stands 1871 hands. He is a green
horse but shows lots of speed. Camelian
Townsend, bay mare by Prescott, day
by Coupon, with doubt will trot in 2. 80
or better before the season is over
Wamuta, a bay mare, by Orville, stands
Is 10 hands, and weighs 1000 lbs. Bay
mare, unnamed, 4 years old, by Signal
Wilkes, gives indication now that she
will prove the fastest one of the lot.
Caragus, bay s., by Choralist, daw by
Prescott. is years old. Mr.. Jordan is
also expecting several more to drive this
season. W. L. Churchill has Scipio
(16759) record 2.26 1-2.
Last, but not least, notice should be
taken Of Kentucky Boy, owned and driven
by Freeman Pugsiey. This horse has a
record of q 80 IA, and has ability to
get a much lower record.
