Horse Breeder is an article from a New Haven correspondent who gives considerable news regarding the condi- ton during the past summer of the fast young stallion Patchen Boy, 2:10 3-4, owned by Charles Coupland of Seymour, Conn. Many horsemen in this vicinity know something about the horse, as he had a little early training at the Hubingers' track, after which he was started at three years of age by Trainer Wilson in fast company on one of the tracks near Boston, where he went to the record of 2:10 3-4, which is remarkably low for first race Dur ing the season Patchen Boy was start ed in seven races and won six of them In the other race he won a profitable part of the purse.
 The pacer has not started in a race this season tor reasons which are brief ly stated in the paper referred to. The New Haven correspondent writes as follows regarding Patchen Boy and other horses:
 During recent chat with Charles Coupland of Seymour, Conn.,, he gave me some information regarding his fast and fine stallion Patchen Boy, 2:10 3-4, by Wilkes Boy, 2:24 1-2, that may be of interest to Breeder readers. MT. Coup land stated that Patchen Boy was shipped to western track early in the season, where he was prepared for a series of races. At Cleveland the horse was threatened with pneumonia, which was averted by prompt and careful tpo t,1,e, p1 horse from starting in races at that time.
 The pacer could have been started at Glens Falls and at Readvilie, but his managers decided to give him more rest before starting him in fast and necessarily hard races. At Hartford the horse was all right and made sev- eral fast miles in training. He paced two heats in 2:12, two more in 2:10 and two faster heats in POS. Tn the last heat he went to the half-mile pole in one minute fiat, when he sprained an ankle and finished the mile in credita- ble time, 2:0S His preparatory work at Charter Oak park showed that he would have been a good horse in his class, but racing with a sprained ankle Nde out u tIlS queSlioU. IIHlldHCe money to the amount of $1,60O was paid for Patchen Boy from Detroit through the circuit to Nashville
 MT. Coupland owns some other stock that is young and fast. He has prom ising mare, four years old, that has shown several remarkably fast miles in training. This mare trots. and was sired by Wilkes Boy, 2:24 1-2; dam by Sable Wilkes. Another fast youngster is Southerland King, a brown stallion two years old, sired by Clay King, and out of dam by Bryan Boy.
 MT. Coupland is a gentleman that it is pleasure to meet and chat with and a remarkably quick and correct judge of track affairs
 A horse and carriage was recently stolen from w. Tewksbury of High street, Hartford, and driven to New Haven, where it was left at the stable of George Nesbit, where the thief hired another horse and carriage with which he went to Stanford where he was watched with suspicion until he was de- tained by a constable who made in quirieS by telephone, until he ascer- tained that the team was stolen from MT. Nesbt. Later the prisoner whose name is supposed to be Howard R. May, was brought to this city by De- tective Henry Donnelly, where he is held for trial under bonds which he has not been able to secure, although the bond for his case has been fixed at the very low figure of $200. In the same court W. c. Holmes, the alleged bogus solicitor, was up for trial. In the case of Holmes a bond of $1,000 was re- quired. Mr Nesbit was fortunate in securing his property before it arrived in New York city, and Mr. Tewksbury was equally fortunate. In the case of the solicitor he received small amounts from a few individuals. The horse thief secured considerable value from each of the two stable proprietors
