 The following notes of men and horses are copied from the last number of the Trotter and Pacer:
 Mr. L. A Fisk recently stated that there will be no race attraction at his Branford Driving park on Decoration day, which state of affairs is occa- stoned by some negotiations with the steam railroad managers regarding MT. Fisk's branch for the steam cars to his trotting park. Last year the opening races of the season were held in Sep tember in connection with the annual fair
 Regai riding his race horses, Mir. Fisk stated that his pacing mare Merrymas- ter, 2:07 1-4. will be shipped in a few days to Trainer Scott Hudson, who had the pacer in several races last season. His pacer Little Frank, Eli IA, will have training sufficient to show his speed this season, when future plans will be determined
 One of the owners favorites in a dark bay mare that shows remarkably well as trotter. She was sired by Guidon.
 Mir. F'isk's Queen of Kings, 2;14 If by King Patchen, has been successful as a brood mare.
 She is the dam of yearling Ally sired by the trotter Arthur Dodge, 2:l6 IA. and younger colt foaled re- gently by the same sire. Tn the same breeding stable is the bay mare Bessie by Candidate, 2:16 1-4. She has recent ly foaled horse colt sired by Arthur Dodge. 2:16 IA, he by Albert w, by Electioneer. Mir. Fisk stated that his pair of gray horses that are kept at the track are in good condition. Although the track is in fine shape for training, but few horses are being worked on it.
 The only race course attraction in this vicinity for Memorial day is an- nounced by the New Haven Driving club, that is to give a matinee at Elm City park. Several horses are having some preliminary work in anticipation of these races.
 George c. Ives, of Mount Carmel, has during recent years devoted some time to breeding and has bred some valuable stock. He formerly owned the trotting mare Autumn Queen. 2:29 by Volun- teer, 55. and raised some good colts from her He also owned a fast stall lion sired by Alcantara, 2:23. At pres ent one of his favorites is a yearling colt out of the good mare Flora, by Florida. The colt was sired by Brown Bel, he by St Bel.
 During chat with James Ferguson, of this city, he outlined his plans far this season as follows: His chestnut pacer c. o. D, 2:21 IA, by Anderson Wilkes, 2:22 IA, is in the stable of Fred Noble, who had the pacer last year. Fergusons bay pacer Daniel, 2:24 1-4, by Edgemark, PIG. will soon be sent to MT. Noble. who will train at Empire City park. MT. Ferguson has recently sold to two New Haven men the pacers Paper Boy. 2:25 IA. by Petrel, and Pete G., trial 2;19 1-4, by Madison Wilkes, |2:2S 3-4.
 The New Haven horsenlan referred to will keep his bay pacer Kirt, 2:24 S-4, at home in order to have him at hand to win in road races. He may possibly be started in his class at some of the near by tracks.
 One of the best family and road horses in this vicinity is owned by Henry S. Burns. She is good size and so well built as to attract the attention and admiration of any connoisseur of horse flesh. Hitched to the owners Bailey top road wagons, the vehicle and roadster make an ideal pleasure leonveyance. The mare, Lady T, has a pedigree that runs back to the best Morgan stock. The man who don't ad- mire that horse and road wagon should go and see a doctor-there's something | the matter with him.
 l The trotting mare Miss Alice, 2:13 1-2, (by Alcantara, 2:2S) dam of some fine young stock, has been sent to Ohio to be bred to the champion Cresceus, 12:02 IA.
 During the present spring there have been many sudden deaths in this city. l The death of the veterinarian, Dr. Thomas H. Lynch, was announced last week. He died of heart failure, aged forty-one years.
 1 P. F. Cullom was found dead in bed at his home in this city not long ago. He was an ex-flre commissioner, and formerly a member of the carriage making firm on Franklin street of Gull lom & Spock. He was so very healthy Hooking that his many friends were sur- prised to hear of the sudden termina- ton of his life.
 Wilfred Foote died at the hospital in this city recently in his eighty-frst year, although his appearance did not 1 Indicate that advanced age. The brothers Wilfred and Robert Foote were for many years proprietors of a sale and boarding stable on State street, in this city, where they had an extensive business, dealing largely in sale horses, many of them being matched pairs for family use. To peo- pie who were supposed to be wealthy they were very attentive and polite-in short, they catered to the well-to-do class and had no time for others. They were peculiar men, who dressed alike and were together very much, and were known as the "Foote Boys" and were
