MT. CIark's H0rsss-AnaeOnda, 2:OI 3.4, at Hartford-Items From the Trotter and Pacer-Nevws Furnished by the
 Correspondent of the Turf Journal.
 Some bargains occasionally come this way from the Madison Square auction sales of horses. George w. Clark, of Milford, has attended several of these sales, where he made purchases that have proved profitable.
 He bought the trotting gelding Anto- nio C., that in MT. Clark's hands showed so much speed that a trainer bought him at considerable advance in price. Mr. Clark's late purchase at the Garden sale was the black mare Lady Bevis by Sir Bevis, 2:20 1-2, trotting, he by Alcantara, Jr. At the same time of the sale Lady Bevis was in foal to Cas- cade, 2:14 3-4, pacing son of Guy Wilkes, 2:15 1-4. On the 20th of April MT. Clark's mare foaled a fine large horse colt that good judges say is re- markedly strong and active for a S06AA6otC4s A NCIy pL4CC udS been offered and refused for the more and colt. On another occasion MT. Clark had a good opportunity to sell his stock, but declined to do so.
 Lady Bevis is to be bred this season, but to what horse was not decided at the time of my interview with the own 2 CT. She may possibly be bred to Min 1. turn, 2:16 IA half-mile track record), owned by D. M. Holmes, of Saybrook, Conn. This horse is fast, we'll bred and the site of some fine colts.
 J. H. Bronson, of this city, has made arrangements to ship Anaconda, POI 3-4, to Charter Oak Park on either April B and 29, but in case of storm may change his present plans. During the early part of this week I called at MT Bronson's stable, when Frank Ward, who has the care of the horses, showed me the great pacer with his clothing removed. His coat is as glos- sy as new silk, and in weight and con- dition he is in as good shape as can be , imagined, as he is not too heavy or too light. Anaconda, POI 3-4, has had all his exercise lately in an open bridle, aid acts better than he has in previous 6years with a blind one, according to the statement of those who are famil- far with his former style in training. MT. Bronsor's pacer is engaged to ap- pear at F'isk's half-mile track at Bran- ford on July. to try to lower the worlds half-mile track record of 2:04 1-4. Fred Noble, who is training Anaconda, will undoubtedly lower the Branford track record and, possibly, the faster record previously referred to.
 John Vischer's bay gelding Gus G., 2:25 1-2, is in excellent condition in MT. Bronson's stable.
 A horse that has wintered remarka- bly, we'll in this city is the brown geld ing Dexter Russell, owned by George N. Coe, of Grand avenue, who has inn- proved the condition of the trotter per- ceptibly since last fall. He is stylish roadster with a gait that surely indi- cates some fast speed, which will not be surprising when his pedigree is sta ted He was sired by Dexter Prince (sire of Eleata, 2:0S 1-2, etc@, whose dam was Lady Dexter, a full sister to the old-time champion trotter Dexter. 2:17 IA The dam of Dexter Russell was the trotter Gertrude Russell, 2:2S 1-2, full sister to Palo Alto, 2:0S 3-4, by Electioneer.
 James Ferguson, of this city, has a string of race horses that he is undeci- ded what to do with this season. The bay paSer Paper Boy, 2:26 1-2, by Pe- trel, son of Sphinx, is in good shape for training, and can get a new record at any fair opportunity. MT. Fergu- sons chestnut gelding c. O. D., 2:21 3-4, by Anderson Wilkes, has wintered nice ly,s and is good race prospect. He was brought out last season by Allen Risk, who drove him mile ill 2:1S 1-4 on half mile track and a faster mile at Charter Oak Park. Other pacers in Ferguson's stable are Kirt, 2:24 3-4, and Jennie Greenwood, 2:1S 3-4. MT. Fergu- sons pacer George C., PIP, is showing well at the trotting gait. .
 H. ID. Bridge, of Wooster street, has lately purchased young bay more that he regards as an excellent race pros- pect for the reason that she can show 8 2:20 gait at the trot and has no record. She is to be placed in the care of a \ trainer for development.

 Walter A. CIark's race horses are having considerable road work and are looking we'll The following five are in his string: Indiana, 2:04 3-4; Home Rule, 2:27. 1-4; Keeler's Treasure, Domi- no and Highlawn Wilkes.
