BY l., ID. SALE.

Fine weather during the week has
given training operations a big boom,
and trainers are everywhere active.
But public interest in this locality
lust now is centered on the coming
horse show. which begins Saturday, May
g. and will conclude May :, when the
annual sale of horses will be inaugu-
rated. 1t is new and wise feature of
the show, as far as Washington is con-
cerned. and will unquestionably draw a
large attendance.
The largest and most important con-
signment of trotting-bred stock for the
high dollar will be that of Javins Broth
ers-John and Francis Javins-from their
Brightview Stock Farm, Colesvile,
Montgomery County The consignment
will consist of ten head of standard
bred stock, nearly all tro-+ers, and, with
few exceptions fit to put to work right
now on track or road We took special
pains on Tuesday last to journey to
Brightview for a close inspection of the
stock. and found the trip well worth the
while The Javins Brothers are breed
ing on A larger scale than any other
persons breeding standardized trotters
in this section of the country.
In fact, the output each year is now
so great that the time has arrived when
they are compelled to make room for
the coming crop. Some forty-two head
of standardized trotters roam the pas
lures of the farm, including brood mares,
and this is the sole reason why the
farms owners will throw on the mar
ket Wednesday, May Z, ten head of as
handsome, AS sound and as well-bred
FLIES and geldings as can be seen at any
stock farm in Maryland. Even the good
race mare. Jennie Blue, 2:lS Ia. viii not
he spared, for the Javins have decided
not to race any more. except. perhaps,
in the local juvenile stakes. The beau
tiful gray daughter of Austral was the
first led out for inspection. To say that
she is in the pink of condition does not
fully describe her present form. Every
one who knows this mare knows that
her mark OF 21S il, taken over the slow
Winchester Va. half-mile track last
summer is no measure of her speed.
She has been bang up in 2:lS. and there
can he no question about her being able
to pace a smooth half-mile track in 2lO
or better if conditioned for the enort.
Jennie Blue is now in her siX-year- old
form. and sound as a gold dollar, not
huff on her legs in spite of the miles
she has gone. and one of the most beau-
tifuI mares in the United states. she
has been logged all through the winter
season. and although she is very high
in flesh il is as hard on her as IRON.
She can he easily shaped up in thirty
DAYS to go to the races, and II she gets
into the right hands should increasel
A,ystraTs 2:lO list beyond a doubt. She
is of good size, being close to l5.3; |
weighs at least $50 pounds; has good
owes a beautifully modelled head and
neck. A. strong back, good shoulders, |
good legs. and fast. powerful loins, and
is made right all over. She belongs TO
the famous Bowbells family-a family !
noted for extreme speed and racing |
qualities. and one of the best subfami- |
lies of the Electioneer tribe. She was
bred at historic Stony Ford, where Elec- !
tioneer saw the light. and when her rae |
ing DAYS are over she will pay for her |
self every year as brood mare. !
Another good racing prospect led out /
BY Supt. Flaherty was stout. up
headed bay gelding by Austral, out OF
the weT-known race mare Gallant Maid, !
2:20 He is now in his four-year-old
form. stands 152, and will make a horse |
when matured that will be fully 1873 and |
weigh 1000 pounds or over. This fellow |
is a trotter. sure enough: every foot in
the right place, and he has style with |
it all Gallant Maid. his dam, is eX- |
ceptionally good gated. and. as every /
one about here knows, a very impress
sive going mare and much faster than /
her record. She is by the Tennessee
sire Gallant Boy. Whoever gets her son |
and treats him right will not only get a
trotter that will bring home the money, 1
but will own horse of which he may
feel proud This colt is well broken,
and if trained will be able to go to the
fall races and pay for himself.
Still another youngster exhibited was
a bay colt. three years old. by Montana
Guard. 2:20 IA son of Ponce de Leon t3).

named a great brood mare. His dam is
the sorrel mare Bonnie Lasse, very fast
at the pace, by Bedworth, jr., 2:06 Ia, |
by old Bedworth This is a very hand
some colt. has a good way of going at
the trot. and should learn to go fast. as
all of his ancestors were fast. He has
good legs and feet, a tail that sweeps
the ground. and he is in every way at
tractive in harness. He will be good
buy for some one. There also will be
offered at the sale a two-year-old black
colt a trotter, out Of Hambletonian
mare. that is just being broken to har-
ness He is. like all of the Montana
Guards l saw, good gated, and like
the rest, also has good hind and fore
legs What looks now as a good pros
pect for some one is z two-year-oid pac-
