II Mont. writes TO the breeders
L. Gd-ettc: 1--WE have had {
delightful winter. All our domestic ami
mails are doing exceptionally well. So fai
We have only ono foal, by Tammany on;
of an imported mare. that maintains his
promise of being great sire. You will
find IL only few years until those people
wanting race horses or trotters. or an in
fusion of new blood with certainty of
soundness, individuality and intelligence,
will come to Mr.. DAILY for them. DIR. Daily
will not waste time in problcmatic or
questionable breeding, with unsoundness
as basis. We have no unsound ones on
the ranch. and he will not permit one to
come on to it. Mr.. Daily built for Kinney
last fall short half mile covered track
and Ben is now educating the yearling
trotters under il. There are now on tho
ranch two covered tracks, one for tho
thoroughbreds and one for the trotters."

Times, has given a fine stop watch to
Charles L. Courtney. who coaches the Cor

Coach Courtney will need "A new chronom-
eter when he comes 10 time the fastest
crew IN the United States in its practice
on Lake Cayugl this spring. Americans
hope the same watch will time tho win
ming crow IN England when Courtney
holds the watch on Cornell in tho Henley
regatta next July.
Joe Patchcn. Onllnc. Mascot, Flying
Jib and Nancy Hanks ali hold records of
2:0i. The quondam queen, Our Nancy. is
in the Ponkapog padIocks of her owner,
speedily developing into portiy matron;

strong season in the stud; Mascot will be
out again and We are assured will hold his
own IN the Grand Circuit free-for-all
brigade, but no special claim Is made that
he will be able to reach tho throne. SO of
the 300 division Joe Patchcn alone is a
living possibility for 1895.
