The chestnut stallion Bird Eye, by
Prince Belmont, out Of Sue Burglar, py
Burglar. was in good form at the re-
cent Prospect Park meeting, Baltimore,
and won the 2:19 class, trotting, in
straight heats, reducing his record from
2:1S Ia TO 2:171-4 in the third heat. BIRD
Eye who was trained and driven by h
T. Kline trotted to a four-Near-cld re-
cord of lis IA in 1897, is in better shape
than ever this season, and X. l.. smith,
Greenville, n c., his owner, has high
hopes of his going very fast. The chest
nut stallion was bred by ]. II. Scales,
Byrdville. Va. who owned his sire and
dam and whose property Bird Eye was
foaled AS a yearling, Mr.. Scales part
ed with Bird Eye for the insignificant
sum of $50. the colt if l remember cor
rectly, passing through an auction sale
at Raleigh, n. c.
The S-year-old brown gelding Human,
2:20. owned by w. II. Braue, county
treasurer OF Henrico, seems to be good
again this season. At Baltimore he
was a good second to Bird Eye in the
2:19 class, trotting. when three heats
were reeled off over a track not consider
ed fast in 2:191-2, 2:1S1-4. 2:1l Ii Hull
man was very fast as a two-year-old,
trotting a trial over Pimlico track IN
2:23 u while the following season in
the hands of Richard Curtis. Lexington,
KY he gave even greater promise but
went wrong and did not round to until
the season of 1897, when w. l.. Bass won
at least two good races with him and the
little gelding went into winter quarters
- Il Lows
drawn out race in October at Norfolk,
Va. Huffman was bred by the late Chas.
P. Stokes, of this city. from whom he
passed as a two-year-old to S. b. Nelson
who quickly sold him to A. z. Donran,
from whom he passed to w a. Miles and
from him to his present owner. Human
was sired by Quartecmaster, out OF Mr..
L. Banks Hollis Alamance farm brood
mare Winnie D., who in addition TO Hui
man, has produced Ginter, ga IA and
Mayo. 2:2S IA while others of her pro-
ductions are yet to be heald from. HUI
man is in the hands of c. A. Pussy this
season, who regards him as an excellent
prospect.
Mr. J. w Wilbur, of the light DEPART
mert Of the Richmond, Passenger and
Power Company, of this city. has bred to
Mczeus. 2:13 the brown mare Margaret
Walker ire large and handsome daughter
of Gambretta and Nyack, by Cuyler, sec
und dam the Buste mare, grand dam OF
10, 2:lS W. X. Mathews, the owner of
AIcZeus. has an unusually handsome and
promising brown colt. two years old, by
that son of Mckinney. out OF Margaret
Walker. and the knowledge of the fact
largely influenced Mr.. Wilbur to breed his
mare.
McZeus has a right to get not only speed
but race-ilorse quality. having been a high
class performer himself, and by great
sire, Mckinney. Eli Ii, while his dam.
Grace Kaiser. is also the dam OF Goney,
2:G1 ga. and a young black Stallion. by
Titus, that has already paced a mile in
2:17 1-2, and is likely to set low mark
this season.
No trotter out this season has shown up
so well as E. ID. Christian, Jr. s. big bay
selding Rustler, the six-year-old son Of
Hustler Russell and Lady Pilot. by Pilot
Mambrino. who was trained and driven
by c. A. Pussy and commencing the sea-
son a green horse. has started in four
races in two weeks, taking as many first
monies and a mark of 2:22 IA, which would
have been some seconds faster had he
have been forced
AS yearling Rustler was fast and
equally as promising early in his two-year-
old form. but injudicious handling knocked
out. and the spring OF the Il last season
was well advanced before the rangy son
of Hustler Russell began to show his true
form, then he came to his speed rapidly.
and the highest expectations OF both
lwner and trainer have been realizeu.
