— Two races came off over the track of the 

 Bay District Association o£ Sun Francisco, 

 Cul., Dec. 19, to witness wliieli turfmen 

 gathered in goodly numbers. Tlie first 

 event was a match pacing contest, five miles 

 out, for $250 a side, between JTenry White's 

 black gelding Onward and Peter Rrandaw's 

 bay gelding Fisherman. The latter, who 

 had been a strong favorite in tin; pools, was 

 the winner, comiug in about four lengths 

 ahead, under the whip, in 13:031. A trot- 

 ting match, mile heats, three in five, for 

 $1,000, followed between O. A. llickok's 

 black mare, Sisson Girl, mid J. L. Foff's 

 brown gelding, Sam Bruno. The latter 

 carried off the first heat, but the mare won 

 the other three and the motley . Time, 2:271, 

 .2:23*, 2:321, 2:30j, 



—The horses Lady St. Clair and Onward 

 recently competed in a five-mile race in 

 harness, in California, and it is supposed 

 that the former made the best five-mile time 

 on record, having gone over the ground as 

 fellows-. Time— First mile, 2:36*. Two 

 miles, 5:181-. Three, miles, 7:55. Four 

 miles, 10:25J. Five miles, 12;04f . 



— The American Jockey Club will hold 

 their meeting next year on the first Satur- 

 day in June," and this will last seven days, 

 the racing being on Tuesdays, Thursdays, 

 aud Saturdays until the meet is finished. 



— A new jockey club has been organized 

 at Louisville, Ky. Fine grounds just out- 

 side the city, on Thirtl street, have been 

 purchased, a club house, grand stand, 

 stabling &c, built, and a liberal programme 

 will aoon be out, in which the new associa- 

 tion will offer$10,000 in purses, to be added 

 to stakes to bo opened and run for at their 

 first meeting in June next. 



— A German correspondent of the Pall 

 Mall Gazette writes : The Committee on 

 Horse Breeding of Laudes-Oekonomie Col- 

 legium, now sitting at Berlin, has unani- 

 mously agreed that government prizes are 

 indispensable if the home breeding of blood 

 horses and racing is to be preserved without 

 the corruption involved in the English bet- 

 ting system. The committee has also re- 

 solved" that the breeding of blood horses is 

 not only a gentlemanly sport, but that it is 

 the mesl necessary condition for the proper 

 development of all horse breeding, that of 

 farm horses incl'ided. The committee pro- 

 nounced further in favor of the establish- 

 ment of State committees for horse breeding, 

 especially of a Prussian committee. 



— Robert Bonner has purchased of Richard 

 Peniston, of Lexington, Ky., his famous 

 three year old mare Lady Stout, paying 

 $15,000. In the last Fall meeting at Lex- 

 ington the mare made the fastest time for 

 three year olds on record there. 



— Sir John Astlcy, of the Loudon Joekey 

 Club, proposes to rule that no horse which 

 has not been in England three months be 

 allowed to run in handicap races. A num- 

 ber of races have been won of late by 

 FrCttCh horses, and as the proposed ruling 

 appears to be inspired by this fact, the 

 French turfmen are gratified at the indirect 

 testimonial in favor of their horseflesh. 



— A number of trotting associations iu the 

 West have recently met in convention aud 

 organized a circuit of trolling clubs for 

 Ohio and Indiana, fixing the dates for the 

 holding of the different' meetings so as to 

 avoid collision among themselves. The new 

 circuit comprises Cambridge City, Piqua, 

 Fort Wayne, Peru, Dayton, and Columbus. 

 It is expected that Zaiiesville and Newark 

 will also join, thus permitting horses to go 

 through this circuit without loss of time 

 and thence to Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester 

 and the great Eastern trotting meetings. It 

 is estimated that close on $100,000 will be 

 given in purses for trotting in the new cir- 

 cuit. 



— Aimer Turner of Nashville, Tenn., a 

 well-known Southern turfman and owner of 

 racehorses, died last week in that city at an 

 advanced age. He was one of the oldest 

 members of the Nashville Blood-horse Asso- 

 ciation, and owned, among many oilier good 

 horses, Paralee, Flush, Nashville, Viscount 

 and Velocipede. He was esteemed for his 

 integrity and honorable character. 



Disinfection. — Infected stabling may 

 harbor aud retain the infection for months, 

 or even years, and although by thoroughly 

 cleaning and making use of disinfecting 

 means the contagion "may be destroyed, yet 

 it would not. be wise to occupy such stables 

 immediately after such supposed or alleged 

 disiufection. 



noRSE's Manic Falling Oct.— The Coun- 

 try Gentleman says: "The shedding of hair 

 from a horse's mane aud tail can be pre- 

 vented by washing the parts affected a few 

 times in carbolic soapsuds. Or a wash 

 made of lard oil, one pint, and aqua ammo- 

 nia, one gill, well mixed and rubbed iu, 

 will prevent the falling of the hair. We 

 .have found it effectual.''

BARNUM'S HIPPODROME. 



Old folks, young folks, and little folks, have you 

 been to the Hippodrome of Mr. Buraum, who is lavish 

 of Ida thousands and tens of thousands that he may 

 provide an entertainment that will suit all. lie in- 

 variably succeeds in pleasing all tastes. He takes you 

 back to old Roman games; he gives you "Blue Beard" 1 

 in a magnificent pantomine, as never produced before 

 in extent aud gorgeousness; be brings the celestials 

 to our doors, with their characteristic manners and 

 customs. Donnybrook Fair Is dono in true Irish style. 

 One entertainment after another is brought forward so 

 quickly that he must have Alladiu's lamp, aud all the 

 genii of earth, air and water ar, his command. So ef- 

 fective and wonderful are the changes, that you ap- 

 pear to be in dreamland, and do not wake up to the 

 truthful reality of all until the performance is over. 

 Then you have materia! enough to keep the mind and 

 thoughts at work for days. Chat With and write to 

 friends to haeteu aud see all these wonderful things, 

 for rear It maybe illusion. The animals and birds 

 from the Torrid, Temperate aud Frigid Zones are here 

 to be viewed without fear. Both entertainments an- 

 deroueroof: one admission to all. We must not for- 

 get the courteous Mr. Unrd, the Prime Minister of Ihis 

 great establishment, to whose energy thousands are 

 Indebted for their subsistence. 



For Sportsmen. 

 For a hearty young fellow who has some chance to 

 get occasionally a day for amusement, there can tie no 

 more gratifying New Years preset]! than a double 

 barrelled breech loading shot, gnu. Until of late years 

 ihes.-'Aere luxuries imported from the extravagant 

 shops of European makers, and only to be indulged in 

 by the weallhy. But American inventive skill and fa- 

 cility in the use of machinery for work done else- 

 where by band, have changed all that. The Reming- 

 tons now- make a breech loading shot gun for $75 

 which for all practical purposes is equal to the average 

 imported gun of doable or treble the price. It (s sim- 

 ple, compact, not likely to get out of outer, and safe; 

 and it shoots well.
