HORSES At CENTRAL NAME.
From Turf, Farm and Home. I

There is q horse show at the Central
Maine track every hour of every day. now
a-days, and some great brushing is to be
seen there. Probably the most unique
equipment to be found at the track is that
Of NJ. b. Smith, the Hartford gentleman who
has breeding establishment at North Bel
fast, known as Pearl Brook Farm. They
are very comfortably located in a row of
stalls directly opposite the entrance to the
track. and the string numbers eight good
horses, under the charge Of Robert Evans,
ably assisted by Mr.. }; H. Lynch. The
bert, Ed f' Leaman, VIM. Williams and the
mascot, Billy, the goat. Billy has been
quite traveller since he left here a year
ago, where he was purchased of Mr.. e. E.
Libby, and decorated with the stable cOlOrs
He is great pet about the stables and en-
joys horse trot as well as any one. This
stable is ably equipped from start to finish
man who drove ArZilie to her record of
2.124 last season, and that reminds us that
she was second in 2.09A Mr.. Evans was
with Demarest and also at MaplewoOd
Farm, Portsmouth, n. H., for a number of
years. Mr.. Lynch has been down the cir
cult in care of such good ones as Joe Point
er, cost, Prince Alert, 1.57, and Star Point
er, 1.59. He has been assistant trainer
with D. j. McClary's string, and what he
doesn't know about fitting a horse for a
cruising race but few can tell him.
But we became SO much interested In the
people with the horses that we really for
got to say anything about the animals them
selves, and every one of them is worthy
OF more than passing notice. Probably the
one best known is Marston c., the stallion
that has stood several years in Belfast
Here is horse that took mark of 2.1et as
a three-year-old, and trialed as four-year-
old in 2.13, half in 1.04. He is a beautiful
animal to look upon and very fast. He
trOtted half on the evening of the Fourth
in 1.07, right in the face and eyes of all the
fireworks. Then there is the green stallion
Directum'Ss Poster, by Directum 2.05f, out
IS now only three years old, is entered in
the three-year-old stakes at the Breeders
Meeting and also the State Fairs.
Brown Braden is green PAGER, sired by
Brown Hal, out of Kate Braden, she by
Bay Tom, out of Lulu Braden. This horse
best time being 2244. The next stallion in
the string is Masconomo, 2.17f He was
second at Empire City track in :. 1871 Mas
conomo was bred by the late J. Malcolm
Forbes, and was sired by Arion, 2.073 He
started in the PIG class here the Fourth,
but 1t was. very, evident from his way of
going that 1t viii not always be there, aud
before the season closes we look to see him
take very low mark
MaZlta Is green mare four years old by
Dexter Prince. This is q very fast bay
mare, and she can trot in 30 She was
bred at Palo Alto, Cal, and shows her
breeding all over. She has been entered in
lots of good stakes, and is sure to be heard
from before the season is very old.
Ora Drew is green trotter that has
trialed in 2.20, five years old, by Ora Wilkes
2.1l, out of the dam of Freedom, the first
yearling trotter that ever went in go.
Isabelle is a fast PAGER, capable of going a
good deal sharper than her present record,
2.204, would indicate.
Mr.. A. 4. Fowler is here with two good
horses, the property of Horace Chenery of
Belfast Mr.. Fowler, who was for a num-
Der OF years at the Forbes Farm, is assisted
by Fred Thompson of Belfast. Although
they have only two horses at present they
have everything about them to make the
horses as we'll as themselves comfortable
and cOntented.
The star of the string is undoubtedly the
great colt Stiletto. that no one knows how
fast he can pace. He won his race at
Camden last week with great ease, and has
the ability to win lots more fast ones
beyond question. They also have in the
string the bay mare Elise Snow, by son of
Guy Wilkes. She is entered in the 232
pace here the Goth and will probably go
down the New England circuit.
