AN INTERESTING EVENT. An interesting
event at Pearl Brook Farm, North Belfast,
during the past week was the birth of
young colt by Masconomo, 2l74; its dam
Isabel (4>, 2.20f, by Adbell (D, 223 Isa-
bell has shown great affection for some
time past for white angora goat, which was
her stable companion and mascot, but will no
doubt now be displaced in the mares affec-
tons by the new arrival. We hope that this
arrival will make colt-trotter, as his grand
sire on both sides Arion (2), 21O3, and Ad-
bell %, 2.23, hold the colt records of the
world to-day. This new colt is already en-
tered in $4,000 worth of stake races
