terbury, Me-, owner of the beautiful
ex-champion stallion Nelson. 2:0s. In
recent interview he said THE
break in prices was perfectly natural ana
came about because men tried to grow
plums on bramble bushes and to pluck
roses from buckthorns. To be more ex-
act, a man came to me with a nice old
mare, a family pet. that never could trot
a mile better than 500. and wanted to
raise a trotter from Nelson. ! tried to
dicourage him, but he said he had mon
ey and could pay and wanted a trotter.
That settled 1t and in due course the old
mare foaied a horse colt. and then the
old man began to figure how. long IL
would be before the youngster could trot
in 200. Let's see. said /. The old mare
can trot in 600 and the horse In 2:09. Six
and two are eight minutes and nine sec
onds. Two into eight four. two into nine
hold on, cried the old man. who had fol-
lowed the arithemtic. and saw where
was landing. / thought the horse could
do It all. and that is where made my
mistake"
There is another new knight Of the pig
skin added to the list within the past
week. says an Eastern correspondent,

diminutive colored lad. who can do 56
without a bath" In his borrowed boots
and pants he is a picture to be remem-
bered. He has been exercising horses for
some time for the Bradley Bros, and Is
a very wide awake lad. who in answer to
a question about his home. remarked,
Use from Nashville" He won his first
race on last Tuesday, and rode a vigor-
Gus finish. only landing the money by a
small margin from Wiley Jones.
Stepnik Is the name of the thorough
bred yearling from Russia which Orrin
Hickok brought west with him. He is a
chestnut colt, with one white foot and lit
tie star in the forehead. He is out of a
Russian mare that was sent to England
and bred to a son OF Hermit. and is a
typical race horse. The colt is as docile
as a kitten. which Is easily accounted for,
as he has been travelling since June and
been the pet of every one that could get
near him.
The best yearling at the Pleasanton
stock farm is by Direct. 2:05h. out of Lii.
