She is owned by DR.. Bennett of Lexing

Nominee, 2.1714, was shipped to Russia
last week, where he will be used for stock
purposes.
When the turf congress next meets sew
eral very important subjects will be
brought before il for discussion Perhaps
the most so will be that relating to the
appointment of stewards to act at the
various meetings held under its jurisdic-
tion. Among those owners who race
principally in the West there seems to be
growing sentiment in favor of the ap-
pointmcnt of such stewards to whom may
be referred especially complaints made by
the starter OF late some rather severe
sentences have been imposed by starters
Oh jockeys, and some owners believe that
the penalties have been excessive, SAYS the
Horseman
Mr.. Martin Stevens of Smithtield has
an exceptionally fine brood mare. This
| mare is IS years old and is by Gideon :;
dam a Drew mare From this mare Mr.
Stevens has raised six fine colts. One
by Flying Yankee, two by Springtime,
one by Boone, one by Gen. Withers and
one by Gen. Fearnaught Four of these
colts Mr.. Stevens has sold for s110U He
also has three year old filly by Fred
Boone; color bay, 15-2 hands high, weighs
1000 pounds. This is a fine colt and q
natural trotter.
One Of the well known local horses is
st. Patrick, owned by Capt NJ. W. Wood
man of Rockland. This horse Is now Eve
years old and is by Joe Howe; dam, Kitty
Mcclellan, by Gen. Knox. He has been
in 16 or Il races this year and has won
money in all but two. At Topsham on
Oct. 10th, he reduced his record to 24a{.
Last year at Augusta, Dr. It. N. Drake
of Pittsfield, took us into his stall and
showed us the bay mare Nosegay, by Gen
Washington; dam by Socrates He at
been using Noscgay as brood mare and
had at least one foal from her by Early
Bird, a beautiful filly which died last
winter from lung fever. When he told us
that the mare could beat 2.20, as he had
many times told us that Early Bird could
trot in 40, we credited part of the story
to the partiality of an enthusiastic owner
But now that Nosegay has race record of
2 1871 and Early Bird one of 40, we are
bound to acknowledge that the doctors
Judgment was sound.-Turf, Farm and

The PAGER Merrill, 2.12 by Nelson, . 90,
says the Horse Breeder, is one of the
handsomest horses that we have seen on
Mystic Park for many day. His dam,
Tinsmith Maid, is strongly inbred to the
Morgan strain. Her sire was Watch
maker, 23l =, and he was by Winthrop
Morrill,, one of the most intensely inbred
Morgans ever in Maine.
President C. ". Waldron of the Union
Stock Farm, Vassalboro, told Lewiston
Journal correspondent that Cedric, 2 26l{, |
went a full mile in 2 80 the first time he
was ever hitohed to sulky. Since then
he has been in one half-mile race in June
in which driven by Ambrose Withee he
run in l. Is, 10 and LII. He obtained
bis recent mark of 2.26I in the second
heat of a race and since then he was
second to Fancy Boy at Fairfield in 222.
Thus far this season he has won two first
moneys and one third in $500 purse race.
He has worked quarters In 33 seconds and
there are many of very good Judgment
who think him capable of trotting in 215
next season. Cedric was sired by Black
Pilot and is out of Lady Lang, 235, (the |
dam of Victoria, 2. 32, trial a.26 by Victor
