LIVELY MEDIUMS. 329 



Baron Luff is one of the oldest of Happy Medium's sons. Last 

 season he made a record at Suffolk Park of 2:27, in the easiest possi- 

 ble manner, and in a race at Point Breeze won the fourth and sixth 

 heats of a hotly contested race in 2:27^ and 2:30|-. At Woodbury 

 Park, N. J., over a half-mile track, he won a six-heat race, taking the 

 concluding heats in 2:31^,2:31, and 2:32. He is now a prominent 

 stallion. 



Fleetwood, a bay stallion, owned by James McKee, Esq., of Pater- 

 son, N. J., in 1876, won five out of seven races. At Point Breeze 

 Park, Philadelphia, he got a record of 2:29 in a third heat. 



Rose Medium has a record of 2:35, which, however, is no measure 

 of her speed. Starting in June of last year she trotted before the 

 end of the season one hundred and ten heats in twenty-seven races 

 winning sixteen of the latter. At Point Breeze Park she was at 

 Penelope's throat-latch in the third heat of a race, trotted in 2:29. 



Sans Souci started out green last season and won seven races, 

 making a record of 2:33. 



Alice Medium, full sister to Sans Souci, is considered by Mr. 

 Phillips to be the most promising Medium he ever handled — and he 

 has control of Baron Luff and Sans Souci. 



The brown stallion Dixon, before he became lame by an injury to one 

 of his feet, was thought by horsemen to be one of the fastest colts of 

 his age in the United States. His four-year-old record was 2:36f. 

 At the same age he trotted a trial in 2:27. 



The bay stallion Frank Ellis, bred and owned by Mr. Galloway, 

 obtained a four-year-old record of 2:37. In 1876, in his five-year-old 

 form, he reduced his record to 2:33 over a half-mile track at Ambler, 

 where he distanced a strong field of horses. 



Grand Duke Alexis was last season thought by such an astute 

 driver as Charles Green, sufficiently fast to enter the Grand Circuit, 

 but went amiss in his training, and did not appear. He has been 

 ■driven a trial mile by Carl Burr in 2:25. 



Odd Stocking has a four-year-old record of 2:45. She was sold at 

 that age for a large price, under a guarantee to show !^:30. 



Blaze Medium has a three-year-old record of 2:41, and a four-year- 

 old record of 2 :40. 



Minnie Medium has a four-year-old record of 2 :40. 



Harry Ward has a four-year-old record of 2:42. 



Jennie Medium has a five-year-old record of 2:40. 



Haj)py Medium Jr. has a four-year-old record of 2:44;^.
