Mr. Bonner bought Edward Everett, Pocationtas, Peerless and Flatbush Maid; Mr. Smith purchased Jay Gould, Lady Thorn, Lucy afd Rosaiiad, Both’ nave epent fortunes im the accumulation of flue stock and the establishment of stud farms, and té-day the two piaces are celebrated tor thé uumber and quality of the avimals, Some ure since the Henatp published a list o; Mr, Bouner’s horses, and now, a8 a companion pivce, gives those beiouging vo Mr, Smith, which will prove ull the more interesting at thie time, owing to the near approach of the annual sale of that gentieman’s yearlings, which takes place ov she 14th of June. Mr. Suuth’s property, the Fasbion Stud Farm, ta situated one mile from Trentun, N. J., and vorders on the line of the New York and Philadeiphia Railroad, about equidistant trom New York and Pailadeipbia. it | comprises 146 aeres of ground, has telegraph connec- | tions with the outside world, an excellent mile track, the later a well butltiand thirty-six large Judges’ and a grand stand, ) As the stock locreased in pum- a that its owner a and the farm so grew in proporti | busy maw of the world, with other pursuits to cecupy his time—found it impossible to give it that attention its magnitude required, Consequenily, some months sizce he associated with himself Mr. G. H. | Leavitt, under whose cure aud attention to details and | shorough system, it flourisaed Like a green bay trea, wnd the grounds and atock, all im perfect order and condition, attest the wisdom of his choice, Much of this 18 also due to Mr. J. BP. Gilbert, a horseman of ripe experionce, who hag garned the reputation of being un able trainer and one of the best conditioners ol borsos in the country, It is beyond the compass of a nowspaper article to describe in detuil the famous abimuls that have their home at Fashiou Stad Firm, Such an articie caunot do justice to such worid-renowned borses as Jay Gould, Lady Thora, Lucy, Rosalind und a score of others, whose speed and prowess have indelibly fixed their vames to brightest characters upon the annals of tbe turf, Therefore a cursory view of the subject, with a complete list of the stock, is all that it is pos- sivie to give, For three animals Mr, Smith paid about $100,000, One of this trio, Jay Gould, stands at the bead of tho Fashion's harem, « king among horses, that in one | season on the turf made wu record of 2:21 und never once lowered his colors to a competitor, Before being traimed and entered lor races he made two or three seasons in the stud in the East, and last year the first one ot his produce ever trained and trotted, with one exception, was the remarkuble und very bandsome young horse King Philp, that at the early age of six years made as sudden aud almost ag famous a reputa- ton as bis sire, trotting with little handiing and late ja the fall, at Fleetwood Park,“ 2:29'¢. In October | last Jay Gould, Jr., by Jay Goeld, won w race in Wis- consin, trotting a fifth heat in 2:40. During tose seasons iu the stud Gould also got Brigham, a {ull brother to King Philip; the Dean filly, owned by sir. Frank Dean, of Fali River, Mass. ; Champion, the prop- erty of Colonel Ruymond H. Perry, of Bristol, &. I., and A. J. Davis? filly, all of which are very promising, and now in training by Mr. Gilvert at tho Fashion, and ove now being trained by Dan Mace, of this cty. None ol Gould’s produce, since he was put into the stud by Mr. Smith, are yet old enough to race, though thore are a bumber of promising two and three-year-olds in w Jersey and Peunsyivanla, That Gould is destined to takea front rank asa sire there 1s no room for doubt, and such should naturally prove the case when his conformation, his breeding and his speod are con- sidered, Nextto Gould among the siros at the Fashion stands Gener] Knox, the black son of Vermont Hero. Though the blossoms have bloomed and faded twenty- two years since be was ushered into the world timo has dealt leniently with him, There is no sinking of the back, 00 weakness of the Joins, no diminution of strength or vigor, and he bids fair to live long enough to do as much good in the Juture as he has done in the past As the sire of Lady Magde and Camors, both of which have records faster than 2:20, his reputation as a successful sire of trotters is firmiy established, wuile a host of other sous and daughters that have made their mark leud additional lustre to the name of the old ove-eycd hero, The other stallions are Socratcs, Tattler, Gossip and General Washington.
