Horse Notes. The trotting stallion Pancoast ts reported’ dead. The horse was struck by lightning | last August and partial paralysis ensued. | Pancoast was purchased at a cost of $28,- 000 at the Glenview sale in 1886.

An exchange says : W. F. Todd, of St. | Stephen, N. B.. has been offered $80,000 for his mares, the get of Emmeline, and has refused it. This offer has been made by parties in Kentucky. There are eight of the mares, and Mr. Todd gets at least $3,000 for each of their offspring. Consid- ering this, he sees more money in keeping them and raising good stock than in aceept- | ing what many people would consider a fortune in exchange for them.

William Redding, who has been engaged of late in shipping trotters tothe Cuban market, will soon leave with the most valu- able consignment that he has yet taken to Havana, among the lot beimg the four-year- old filly Bosque Bonita, for which he paid $10,000. It is said that in the case of this animal she will be taken to Cuba, and along in June shipped to France, it being the idea of her owner that more money is to} be won there taun anywhere else, and yet he does not care to ship across the Atlantic at this time of the year, although the voy- age to Cuba can be made with comparative safety.

Gen. B. F, Tracy, who has been appoint- ed Secretary of the Navy by President. Harrison, has decided to sell at auction his breeding farm and all the horses he owns. General Tracy has been an earnest and en- thusiastic studeat of the breeding pro- blem, and long ago foresaw that from trotting sires and dams only can fast trot- ters be secured, and with this idea in mind he has followed in his breeding operations the families whose inembers have bean suc- cessfui on the turf. Hé was a great advo- eate of the Woodford Mambrino family one reason of this, perhaps, being that in Mambrine Dudiey he possessed one of thg fastest sons of that horse.

The stallion Woodnut, which Mr. Robert Steel, of Philadelphia, paid $16,000 for not long ago, has arrived at his new home, and it is said by horsemen who have seen him that he is better looking than antici- pated, and the general impression is that he is one of the best of the Nutwood family, and as his record of 2.16} is the fastest of the grade of a Nucvwood, it will be seen that the eastern men did a wise thing in securing him. Had Mr. Steel been successful in ali his plans he would also have purchased Stamboul, having ask- ed a price on that horse and been willing te give as high as $40,000 for him. This, io ever, would not buy Stamboul, and his subsequent sale to a San. Francisco eure man for $30,000 is now a matter of history. It is no wonder that Mr. Hobart,who never stops at prices, was willing to give this money for Steinboul, as twenty-two of his colts brought at auction in New York an average of $4,000 each.

Mr. George E. Hughes, Charlottetown, owner of Apothecary, 6465, and proprietor of Greenvaie Farm, has issued a beautiful catalogue of his handsome and finely-bred young horse. The Agriculturist says:—Apo- thecary, already well-known to most of our readers, is a soa of Hernando, 2891, and Morena, daughter of Almont Mambrino, 761, son of Almont, 33. His granddam is Stump-the-World, by GParson’s Abdallah, son of Abdallah, 15. Apothecary ‘* traces three times to Hambletonian, 10, through Abdaliah, 15, twice to Pilot, Jr., 12, four times to Mambrino Chief, 11, and twice to the great Almont. This in itself would make his pedigree gilt-edged,”” while it en- dows him with speed. stze, style, finish, pure gait, stamina, and docility. Of Her- nando, his sire, it is unnecessary to speak at length, as his name is familiar to every istand horseman as that of a grandly-bred and individually, splendid horse, whose progeny are famous wherever known. Morena is a handsome aud stylish bay mare of 1100 pounds, that shows an admirable way of going, and, if handled for speed, would justify the prediction that she cculd easily enter the 2.30 list. Apothecary, now in his third year, is a rich bay with black points, 15$ hands high, weighing 1100 pounds, and in every particular does credit to the grand trotting families of which he is a representative. With *' a fair fieldand no favors,” he will, we feel sure, demon- strate his ability to perpetuate, size, style, and speed, and this, with his excellent breeding, wili make him a most desirable horse for this Province.
