TheMarvelous Perfection to Which^the Timing of Horses Has Been^Brought^Jack Glasscock's^Famous Stud.
Theprospects for the June meeting at^(Syracuse, Neb., where a kite-shaped track^was recently constructed, are very bright.^It is the purpose of the board of mana^^gers to experiment with the meetings of^this year, and if found successful to come^out m 1MU with a programme for a lato^summer meeting and put up foO.OOO or^more in stakes and purses.
Itis stated that the belief ^that a horse^shoe brings good luck can lie traced back^to the Thirteenth century. The monk^GervaUe, of Tilbury, informs us that ut^that time there was a kind of demon in^England which appeared as a horse rear^^ing on its hind legs und with i park ling^eyes. Whenever th.s apparition was seen^it was a sign that a conflagration would^foon break out. Hence, as giving u kindly^warning, this mysterious horse was re^^garded as a friendly spirit, and the ani^^mal in general was believed to be a ben^^eficent mystic power. A horse tooth car^^ried in the poekei prevented toothache; it^was a sign of good luck to find a horse^^shoe, and one was placed under the pil^^low of a chilil to cure the colic, or nailed^against the building to prevent it from^catching fire. This led to its gctieral^adoption as a protective symbol.
IllEngland ante-post betting flourished^from 18J0 up to bsi. In the 'to* the rage^become so great that bo ^ks were opened^on yearlings for the Berby two years in^uilvaneo of the race, 1.0U0 to one being^I.ml. The wildest sp^ cu.uuoii raged.

Manypeople in the East have wondered^for some time who ^Mr. Manning,^ the^owner of Triangle, the high class daugh^^ter of Tremotit, was. It now develo|tes^that be is no less a personage than John^A. Logan, Jr. Triangle started a hot^favorite at Guttenberg Wednesday, but^could get no better than second place. It^is now whispered that ^Mr. Manning^^lost a large sum on bis filly, estimated^variously at from ffi.OUO to 150,000. The^filly wae kicked by one of the starters just^before the race, which may have had^something to do with ber defeat. It is not^pleasing to the rank and file of race-goers^to see the colors of Mr. Logan exhibited^at the New Jersey mudhole. If he mutt^satisfy bis craving for racing it would^seem at least that he could do better than^have recourse to the miserable tracks of^New Jersey, where fraud tides rampant.
Easternhorse papers seem to think^that the death of Electioneer virtually^ends the supremacy of California as u^breeding state, liless your benighted^souls, gentlemen, we havo only played^one of our trump cards, says the San^Francisco Hunter. We still have Stum-^IkjiiI, Sidney und Sable Wilkes, three Ss^that also stand for speed, substance and^soundness. The first trotted in J:I1 and^ha* buateu L':l ^ on half a dozen occa^^sions. The Heeonil has a record of L':l!i^,^nod has niuo of Ins progeny in the lies^list utyears old. The third was the^greatest 3-year-old stallion of his times,^ami his j : is was the record until beaten^by Axlell; and u* if that were not good^enough, his son Freedom is the only^living horse that beut Ms* at 1-yeur-old.
InIsm; the late August Ilelmont dis^^carded three yearlings of his lot as worth^^less and they were sold. Olio of them^proved to he the great little horso Badge^and another King Crab. None of those^retained by Mr. lielmont proved anything^like as good iierforiners as the two above^named. The well Known trainer. Hymn^McClelland, bid on iiudgo when he was^offered for sale at a big sale in Lexington,^uud when the sorry-looking specimen of^n race horse was knocked down to him^for a small sum he was given the grand^laugh. When he was leading the colt^away some one said: ^liyron, what are^you going to do with that sheep^^ He re^^plied : ^1 guess 1 can get a badge on^him.^ The colt, therefore, became known^us McClcllund's badge horso ami was^given the name.
Uwingto the marvelous perfection to^which the timing of horses iu races has^been brought iu America, tho writer re^^cently delved into all the volumes of ali^^en nt American turf history that could lie^found, to ascertain, if possible, what kind^of instruments were used lor timing^horses in the races run during the car y^part of the century, says It. Ok H., in the^Cincinnati Commercial Gazelle, The^search produced few satisfactory results^from the racing lore published prior to^1*40, and the conclusion is naturally^drawn that the timing of horses prior to^that year was so rudely performed as to^lie very unreliable. The fact, however,^that no such startling performance is^credited to any of our early celebrities as^is claimed for English Eclipse, who, it is^said, ran a mile at Newmarket Heath^in one minute, shows that our fore^^fathers were not gssconaders, but^hung rigidly to tho facts as they^found them. In a volume giving sum^^maries of races run under the auspices of^the old South Carolina Jockey club, at^Charleston, the following description of^an important timing clock, which was^first ustd there February 7, 18-TJ, is given:^^The clock was mude by Dent, of Lon^^don. The dial plato is six inches in^diameter, and the tiourand minute hands^are of gold, while the second hand, mov^^ing in a separate circle, is of steel. It is^an eight day movement, with a patent^lever escapement, and its principal value^to the club consists, in the purpose tor^which it is intended, iu having a large^stop or spring by which its action may be^stopped every second and set in motion^again.^ The description furthermore^slates that ^it is expected the timing of^our races will bo much more satisfactory^with this clock.^ It is Just t.' years since^this clock was first used, and iu that time^what a wonderful change has been^worked in the manufacture of timing^watches. In these days of split second^watches a clock that could only be^stopped and started each second would^be a curiosity indeed.

GeorgeWarren of Cincinnati, a young^man who said that he could throw any^man iu the world collar-and-elbow style,^and he wan ted a chance at Martin Denip-^sey. has been in New York (or a^week or more. Saturday Andy^Brown, a local man, gave bim a trial.^Brown picked the Cincinnati man up,^threw him over his head and fairly wiped^the floor with him. He scored six falls in^three minutes. Warren dressed hitnse.f^and sneaked away alone, having first bor^^rowed a small sum from his manager.
Ayoung Japanese, Toshero Ikcdo,^writes from Tokio about Japanese base^bull and the implements used us follows:
1sliull bo glad if a few following lines^concerning home made base ball goods^in Japan will interest you. Our mask is^made after the model of fencing masks,^wIm b also differ from your fencing mask.^Of course it is made of very light wire (a^trifle heavier than a common telegraphic^wire), and serves well for the purpose,^but if the heavy ball strikes accidentally^the wire of tho mask it will often bend,^causing not a little injury. It costs us^about 5 ^ cents. The ball costs about the^same price as the mask, but is liettcr^mude than the mask, though we use cot^^ton threads and red rubticr as inside ma^^terial, instead of best woolen und Para^rubber. Still it lasts through a full game^without changing its original shape.^Nothing except the bat is badly made. I ^^is heavy and easy to break, and is merely^the end of a large piece of lumber. It is^82 inches long uud weighs over 40 ounces.^We have not yet made gloves, but iu the^future curious ones w.ll appear.
A^dark horse that may possibly win^the Kentucky derby is the bay colt Lo^^renzo, by Ten Itroeck-Vcra L. This colt^only ran two races ill his 2-year-old form,^of w hich he won two without ever having^been trained down fine. He is a young^horse of Hue proportions, and, as he is^probably the last colt ever sired by Ten^Broeck, it would Ik- unite n tribute to the^memory of the fastest horse that ever^won in Kentucky if he should come in^first for the classic Louisville event. For^one thing, if he should prove the winner,^he will come to the post as little thought^of as Montrose was in his year.
Thegreatest excitement is now para^^mount iu English circles owing to tho re^^cent investigations respecting the crooki d^ending of several of the most promi^^nent jockeys on the English turf.^The result has Iwn that neither Tom^Loates. Kicaby, White or Bradbury have^lieen gran i-il licenses to ride during the^coining season, winch commenced ut^Lincoln on Monday.
Amongthe sons of Haroblotonian,^great as they are,^ says a California^writer, ^there is one, judged by the facts,^which towers alMive all the others as a^unilorm pn genitor of speed, generation^after generation. That one is Alexander s^Abdullah. He died, lie it rcmemticred, at^III years of age, before he became known^as a successful sire. He left fewer than^100 foals, all told. He MM the last years^of his life, which should have been most^useful, in Kentucky, amidst confusion^und tumult of civil wur, und died before^the trotting interest had assumed great^proportions anil before Goldsmith Ma.d^rendered him forever celebrated as a^sire.
Thefamous Irish setter bitcb.Champion^Molly H iwu.was recently stolen from thu^veterinary hospital of Dr. Jennings, of^l\itsburk, Pu. Her absence wus noted in^a few minutes and the police were at^onct notified. Six detectives were started^out on the search within 10 minutes after^she wits missed, some 4 ^ men were sent^out in every direction notifying the rail^^roads, express companies and the toll^gates along the roads, telegrams were^sent to all the neighboring towns^in u^word it was made so hot for the thief that^Molly Buwu was returned within six^hours from the time she was first missed.^To use the words of one of the city of^^ficials* ^there was as much excitement^and diligent search us if there had been^a murder or a bank robbery.
Intwo weeks the drum will tap for the^inaugural dash at the opening of the^spring meeting of the new Memphis^Jockey club at Montgomery park. There^are now 182 horses in training at the^track, and this includes some of the most^prominent racers on the American turf,^not counting tho two-year-olds that have^yet to make reputations, and of whom^there is legion. There is no longer any^doubt of Proctor Knott standing train^^ing. He is rapidly getting in form, gives^promise of redeeming the opinion of his^former owner that be is the fastest race^horse in America.

Atthis time Harry Dixey was a 're^^spectable bunker,'and used to often sleep^on Boston Common w hen the sir was soft^and balmy. Our great Kelly was then^shining boots in l'aicrsoti, N. J,
