2:15A, out of Beautiful Bells 2:29la. A
better looking horse than his sire, and
will be much faster. AS a stock horse

try, by Electioneer out of Penelope dam

old sired by Electricity out of Mano

is bred and shaped right to make a good
stallion.
Whips. Jr., chestnut two-year-old,
son of the great Whips. 2:27h, out Of
Marion, 226%, by Piedmont A perfect
model for his size, and as a trotter he is
not to be considered anywhere but in
the first rank. He will be kept as a
sire and seekers after elegant, perfect
limbed stylish trotters that have all the
qualities SO much sought after now,
will be wanting to breed to him.
Nazote. brother to Azote, 2:04%, is
only a three-year-o and will not be
worked hard this year He is superior
in many respects to his illustrious
brother, and if he is rot as fast there
will be many disappointed judges of
good trotters in California. Nazote is
a king among the rest that are here.
Galeno is a three-year-old, by Monaco,
219la. of whom great hopes were enter
tanned last year, but sickness knocked
him out at the most critical period of
his two-year-old form and he was sent
to the farm. He will achieve all that
he promised last season and make some
of the three-year-o hustle to beat
him.
Nordeau is another three-year-o
that will bear watching. He is by Nor
ris Zone of the best sires ever sold from
this farm) out of Miss Naude by Elec-
tioneer.

If the admirers of John r. Gentry.
2:0O1s, do not soon stop sending presents
in the shape of show brides to Lewis q.
Tewksbury's pacing kings, the horses
will have more costly headgear than an
opera star by the time the campaign
opens. Billy Weeks of Paris France
set the fashion a few weeks ago by be-
cto -iro I,.a ho1d dp~ ~ artf-
tic French affair of buff leather and en-
broidered green silk webbing A young
woman from New England, who saw
the Weeks bride among the luxurious
horse clothing and stable equipments
last week, thought her pet racer had
been sighted in the matter, and she ask
ed permission to send a similar bride
to Robert j. About the same time Mr.
Tewksbury received from his Wall
street friend, r. A. Fairbairn, the owner
of Baron Rose, 220A, pair of very rich
and costly show brides in black leather
artistically trimmed with gold, thus
carrying out the color scheme of the
stable. which runs through everything,
from the palace car. in which the horses
will travel, down to the gold-tipped an
vii on which Lew BELLS will fashion
their shoes. The reirs of the Fairbairn
brides are rich gold chains to the ex-
tent Of nearly a foot from the bit. All
the loops and buckles are likewise of the
yellow metal, while the black rosettes,
brow bands and crown pieces are taste
fully ornamented with gold letters in
relief, forming the initials of the giver
the monogram of the owner and the
names of the horses. Altogether the ef-
feet is said to be incomparably fine, and
the Fairbairn bnidles are already objects
of great interest among men and wo-
men who inspect the stable outfit.
