I think the team is ovenly balanced, and as strong as ny of the entire eight, In the first place here aro our pitchers. Vickery I consider tho star twirler of the eatire league, and in ot that is the opinion of several other man sgers, who woulda have bsen overjoyed to bave drawn him. You certainly know Viek- ory. He isa robust young fellow, of good babits, und an old leaguer. Ho is a right- nander, very speedy aud with all the modern curves. Next comes Nick Handiboe, who is also a first class man. He is also a right- ~handed man, and at one time was considered e of tho comers of the profession. Young 'Darby comes from California, and while I know nothing personally avout him, he comes bighly recommendoed by the authorities on the coast. I will occupy first myselfl. On second 1 will have Fitzgerald, who played second for the Philadelphia Athlolics a couple of years ago, and who is a very skill- ful and very competent man on that bag, Sullivan, the short, comes from Holyoke, ass., aud his recommendations are all thal any manager could possibly ask. Collopy, who was with Manchester last year, is a hummer; & swift, accurate thrower, great on ground balls and a wremendous hitter. In the outfleld I think Omaha has drawn the cream of the whole batch. Ielley 1s rated way up, and I could bave traded him for any pitcher in tho whole outfit. He |.¢L|la(llwuum #0 highly recommended by Umpire Gaffuey nd Jake Morse of the Boston Herald. Last s0as00 ho played several games with Frauk Selee's champions, and was only displaced by the full recovery of Bob Lowe, the regu- 1ar member. He is a great sprinter and a hitter from away buck. You kuow all about Bob Gilks! Il's’s an all-round man and a 00d one, and in an emergeucy can be util- zed i the box, as can also Sprague. Tho A tter is the old Chicago Western association pitoher; he is a left-hander and probably one ©of the surest and hardest hitters in tho ‘whole league. For catchors we bave Hayes and ivory. Hayes comes from Wor- cester, and thoy say he is & very fino oatobor, with all the qualities in back-stop- rmz and throwing, and swings a uasty bat, Vory is Awos Rusie's old catcher, and last peasou did great work for Terre Haute in the Two-Eyed league. Alion @s & whole, ! am very well sati: ed. 1f they do not pan out to suit me 1’1l Et better men to fill thewr pluces, that is all ore is about that.”’ Paste This in Your Hat, The playing schedule of the Western Jeague gives very general satisfaction. No one club bas much the best of it, each one gelting welve Saturdays and twelve Sundays at bome, with the holiday plums evealy aud squitably distributed. The season opens April 12, just three weeks from Tuesday pext, with an exchauge of home and bome wes between the east and the west.

To that end I have secured the best stock 1could fina. I believe I possess in Arion the speediest stallion ever seen on the track. 1had to pay a round sum for him,but I wanted the best, and I have it. 1 wish you would correct an absurd story which has zsen goiug the rounds of the papers with re- gard to the sale of Arion. It has beeu said that I puid $150,000 for him. That1s wrong. The price was 125,000, and I couldn’t get him for one cent loss. It is nonsense to say that I paida fancy price for him for the solo reason that I wanted the opportunity to claim that I had paid the highest price over paid for a horse. Tuat 1s simply ridiculous, Ihope I am too sensible a business man to pay a dollar more for any article than I am obliged to pay. I didn’t do it in this instance. 1 paid #125,000 because I had to. 1t was a big price, but as the horse was such a superior animai the ordwary rules of trade could not be applied in this case, I wanted bim, and Senator Stanford woald not vart with bim for any smaller sum. My stables are very simple. I have traveled ox- tensively and have visited stock farms in all parts of the world, but none outsiae of tucky came up to my ideal of what a stock farm should be. I believe the Kentucky breeders have discovered the secret of breed: ing successfully, and my farm buildings wore constructed on' the same prineiple, Sim- rumy of construction, cleanliness, plenty of ight and air, protection from suaaen chauges in the weather, and bare ground to stana upon are, 1 believe, the chief requisits for the successtul breeding of fast horses, My stables aro constructed -upon that plan. [ am 8 firm believer in the inteiligen o horses. If @ horse is properly handled, 1 believe he can be ~ made to understand and obey auy command within the bounds of reason. ight is one of the greatest factors in the education of a horse. He wants to see what 1s going ou, For that reason I have constructed my stu- bles so that each stall has a large window so low that my horses can look out of doors and uu{oy the landscape. When the weather will permit, these windows are oponed and tho borses can stretch their necks out of doors and get plenty of fresh air and sun- shine. At night and 1n stormy waather these windows are closed, but each is provided with o good-sized veuulator, which keeps the air circulating without throwing @ draught upon the horses. But the most im- portaut feature of my stalls is the foundas- tion. My horses stand on loam; they eat it; they sloep on it. Mother earth is the best specifio for a horse that [ kuow of. Give a horse Ly of light and auwr, plenty of exer- cise, pleaty of the right kind of food, and plenty of clean loam toeat, and he will always be in good condition, TLat1s the se- cret of the suvcess of Kentucky-vred horses, The Blue Grass rogion 1s famous for its horses,but I firmly believe that it 13 the good Koutucky airt, avd uot the grass, that is the secret of the success in horse racing. There are uot many who realize how wuch dirt a horse eats in the course of a day. Why, itis notl au uucommon thing for & horse to eat @ Rood-sized capful of earth in & single day. He npeeds it to stimulate his digestive orgaus Just . much stall with board foundations, and he will quickly get out of conaition. =My stalls aro constructed on this plan. For the foundation T have a thick lnyer of gravel, and over that 1 place soveral inches of clean, rich loam. That is all, except occasionally a layer of straw in oxtromely cold weather. Tho gravel serves as a drain for all impurities and the loam s changed as often as the occasion scems to demand. As soon s it loses its freshness it is removed and a new layer is spread. As a result of this system, my stalls aro kept absolutely clean and sweet without tho use of any disinfectauts. Thereare no unnecessary ornamentations. Such things collect tho aust and keep tha air full of im- purities. For that reason I have constructed my stables as simply as possibly. For the Lovers of the Dog. Although there are dogs owned in Ne- braska that would be noticed in aLy company the Omaha Kennel club will give special prizes at their fall show for locai dogs. ~ The money prizes will probably be $10 for the first and § for second in tho challenge open and puppy classes for each breed, and as there will be about thirty-live breds pro- vided for, the premium list, together with the special prizes, will amount to somewhero near $1,500. This is quite an undertaking for the Omaha Kennel club, but cities of a smaller popula- tion than Omaha bave held bench shows with an equal premium list, that were a financial success, and the management feel confident of & libéral patronago by tho peoploof thocity. The quality of the dogs exhibited will bo as good ns any show has produced, as there are some of the best kennels in the country lo- cated in tho western states. The main ob- ject of holding these bench shows is to bring together in friondly competition dog breed- ers, and to oncourage them in the enterprise, and to show the public the difference be- tween a thoroughbred aud u mongrel. The show recently given by the Westmin- ster Kennel club in New York was attended by ovor 60,000 peoplo ana there wero somo 1,200 dogs benched. This proves the husiness 0 be gaining in popularity in tho cast, In tne March b number of the American Fiold there is a description or standard of all breeds of aogs, prepared by George Kaper, one of the most eminent dog Judges of Eug: land; and as the modern standards are somo what different from those of Stonehenge and TDalziels' time, theso articles ought to be greatly appreciatea by breaders and pur- chasers alike, Mr. Goorge A.

Breezy Gossip for the Horsem Many traiuers as well as their stock are anxiously awaiting the coming of pleasant weather that they may bo out and getting in form for the season's racing, which will very soon begin. The brown gelding, Prince, owned byMr. Murray of the St. Mary’s avenue stabies, is in great form, und those of his class of the Omaba Driving club that beat him the com- ing season will have to step along some. Mr. Duvall, the Cuming street barber, has a bay colt (2) pacer, by Winslow Wilkes, 2:1414, dam, a fast aud game road mare, that speed enough to put him in a fast class at an carly age if ho is properly edu- cated. 1 hope to bo present at some time and wit- ness the speed qualities as exhibited by the contestants. Although tho contestants are only considered amateurs, many of thom can step a clip that would causo a race horse to extend himself to keep them company. It is hopad that weather will soon be hero that will be fit for razing, so that the owners of two pole teams of Omaha may mect at the driving park and determino to tho boys who has the faster one. Rucing around the stove goes for a ume, but the reality is the most convineing, W. J. Hughes, the Sixteenth and Farnamn streot druggist, thinks he has in the littlo chestnut racer,Oklanoma,the king of the road, and anybody who cisputes this title wiil have to move some, as he is a rapid fellow ana Biily seems to take hold of hum in about tho proper style.

In the selection of # horse of that typo Mr. M. has shown good judgment, as tho light fellows are only fit for a brush down the roud. W. A.

Stables of American troiters aro being gotten together that will, in all Yespects, excel auytbing ever before assembiled. The rich stakes and purses offered by 80 many associ- ations are very attractivo and with the mod- ern apoliances as resorted to for a perfect preparation, when the bell ahull sound the assembling ' & party of the quality will ap- pear that will delight all the visitors.
