tAHAS NAtNSA SoP NAlob Ne@9 NOil tillS AolA by trotter, was recently on exhibi- ton in Bridgeport. The trophy is about twenty inches high and wide, and heavy, in proportion to its height, and cost the donors as much as first money in a substantial purse. The beautiful keepsake was won by B. A. Bulkeley's bay mare, Nahna, ? II 1-4, and in a very artistic style is Inscribed
 Ridgeway House Cup
 Mount Holly, N. j.,
 Won by Nahma. 2:11 IA.
 Sept 27, 1907.
 The cup was awarded to the trotter for the fastest mile at the meeting. Nahma started this season with a rec ord of 2:14 1-4; has won first money in twelve fast races She has finished second and third and never behind the money end, and as stated was always better than fourth.
 Mamma was sired by Peter the Great 2:O7 1-4, dam Caracas by Bingen, 2:O6 IA; second dam, Houri, 2:17, by Onward, 2:25 1-4 third dam, Jessie Turner, by Mambrino Patchen, 5S, fourth dam by Captain Walker. Nahma is six years old this year, and is apparently a good race prospect for an indefinite number of seasons. In her recent campaign she has been handled very carefully by Frank Ii, Burgess, who has trained and drove the Bulkeley string of race horses for two seasons. The pacing stallion Half Moon, 2:t6 IA, had his first race ex- perence this year, and was retired for the season when he obtained his pres ent record. The trotter Rallies, 2:16 IA, was laid up after a few races; probably in anticipation of next year.
 A visit to the stables will afford an opportunity to form the opinion that MT Burgess Is an able manager of young stock, as we'll as a capable trainer and driver of race horses.
 Many readers will remember the reliable pacer, Little Miss, 2:12 1-4. She was so badly injured about a year ago that she was kept in 1 a sling for a long time On April 6, l 1907, she foaled a horse colt that is now wonderfully developed for one of that age. He was sired by A. D. Me Lean he by Brick Wilkes by Alcan- tara and is already regarded as 3 prize package and entered in several futuritg racesS
 Little Miss has grown fat and strong during year of retirement from race tracks. Both mare and foal are owned by MT. Bulkley,
 In the stable are several young horses that will be handled during the winter and prepared for races later One Of this class is the very fine black mare, Naono, sired by Lynr Bel, 2:1b 1-2 dam, the good brood mare Black Ire Cdam of Rallies, 2:1t 1-4) by Cyclone.
 Another young pacer that is to bt introduced in company next year i' Nettie Potter by George St. Clair. Tn mare is a half sister to Mildred, 2;l' 1-4, that was celebrated as a race win . ner about two years ago
 A large number of MT Bulkley' horses are stabled in the elegant barn on the estate of the late MT. Gilman formerly a wealthy and very eccentri tea mefchant, proprietor of 300 tel stores that were each required t
 make a net profit of the owner of. 5 day, which made MT. Gilman profits amount to $1,s00 per week. A the time of his death he owned severa pairs of remarkably fine coach horse that sold at auction as stated at iron $500 to $1,000, or more, per pair, Al of the barns were expensive in con struction, Other costly buildings O the property are the large mansio that was the owners residence, tn building containing photograph gal : tery, the building containing the thea ter. the green house, etc. The deceas ed owner was fond of theatrical com l pany, especially actresses, many
 whom he entertained in expensiV style at his premises. Those who wer , familiar with MT. Gilman have state l that occasionally he would invite sex . eral actresses at a time to visit hin | and would send one or more of h
 stylish coaches to meet them at th 9 depot.
 : An accurate history of the decease d Gilman would be very interesting.
