TNHE TOTAL official fig
ures on the winnings of the
Corrigan stable for 1894 arenow
at hand, and include money
won up to Jan. at San Fran
cisco's meeting. The amount is sos, 70l,
and il p aces Ed Corigan's stable at the
head of the Western winning list. II
passes the higest total ever recorded be-
fore for this sectionsof the turf world.
The Corrican campaign in 1894 covered
the territory from the Pacific to the At
lantic and back again to the Bay District.
where some of the most prominent green
and white sash animals are now racing.
In all AZ different horses contributed to
that sos, 7Oi. and they started 42i times,
getting 10 firsts. a study of the entry
lists to all local stakes shows that the
Corriean stable is going TO be just as ag-
gressivc, If not more so, than IN former
years. Mr.. Corrigan spends large amounts
of money IN obtaining fine racing stock
and enters it with an abandon. one might
say, though really after the most careful
study of the events and conditions, Gs he
has to take III an immense amount oil
money to make his investment pay.
Trainer Matt Byrnes, who has charge
of Marcus Daly's horses, is sweet on the

The FLY will be practically a 3-year-old
among 2-year-olds when she makes her
debut, and Byrnes expects great things
OF her.
A German horseman who has spent the
past year in the United States studying
the methods of American trainers at
tributes much of their success with
trotters and PAGERS to their knowledge of
foot balancing or shoing in such n way as
10 bring out the best speed of which a
horse is capable. This gentleman, who is
fitting himself for the position of instruc-
tor in a training school soon to be estab-
lished by the German government, places
Monroe Salisbury at the head of the fra
tern ity in this respect. salisbury" no
says, Twill keep shoIng a horse every day,
and sometimes two or three times a day,
until he brings about the desired result.
His wonderful knowledge of tho effect of
n slight change in shoing was well Illus
trated at Galesburg, ILL.,, last summer,
when Directly was about to start against
the record for 2-year-od PAGERS. The
black colt had never beaten 2:l0 up to
that time, but just before he made his at
tempt against the record Salisbury had
his shoes removed and the angle of his
foot changed very slightly with n rasp.
The effect was magical. for Directly went
upon the track and paced his mile in
2:O74."
We, on this side of the pond, arc apt to
cast slurs on the English method of shoot
ing driven birds. Ii is really refreshing
to read a few lines on the other side of
the question. The London Rod aud Gun
contains the following paragraph in favor
of this style of shooting: at is really too
amusing to read the dIatrlbes they-'a
certain class of newspapers'-publish
against 'feather-bed sportsmen' and farm

two OF them TO place l know and where

about 80 yards wide. The wood runs half
way down the hill. which here projects

row of ancient oaks. Over these the birds
come surging down the wind, the guns be-

birds as the highest l over saw 1t is
obvious that they can only just be within
the extreme range of a shotgun. and that,
therefore, unless fairly hit in the head
and breast, there is no chance of stopping
them. Yet / have seen men dragging
