Stmiager Jlowo on the Tcnm.
Manager Kowe was aeou , of course. Im
mediately on his return from Chicago , and
tans ceremony put through a rigid catechism
us to Omaha's now players , who and what
they are , and his expectations and intentions
{ or the season.
"How do 1 llko my tearnl" ho replied m
rospousa to an Inquiry to that effect. "Well ,
I am ns well satisfied as a manager could
possibly bo getting his team entire
by such n process. I think the
team is evenly balanced , and as strong as
any of the entire eight. In the first place
tbora lire our pitchers. Vickury I consider
the star twlrlur of tbo entire league , and In
fact that U the opinion of KUVUIU ! other man
agers , who would have uou overjoyed to
bitve drawn him. You certainly know Vlck-
or.v. lie U u robust young follow , of coed
bablts , und nil old longuor. Ha Is a rlght-
tiandor , very speedy nnd with all the modern
curves. iNoxt comes Nick Huudiboo , uho is
also a lirst cluss man. Ho is also a rlght-
/ handed man , nnd nt ouo time was considered
Itfoue of the coiners of the profession. Voung
Uarby comes from California , and whllo i
know nothing personally aoout him , becomes
highly recommended by the authorities on
the coast. I will occupy first myself. On
second I will have Fitzgerald , who played
eooiid for the Philadelphia Athletics n
couple of yonrs ago , and who is u very skill
ful and very competent man on that bug ,
Sullivan , the short , comes from Holyoke ,
Mass. , and his recommendations are all that
any manager could possibly asu , Collopy ,
who was with Manchester last year , is a
bummer ; n swift , accurate thrower , grout
on ground balls and a tremendous hitter. In
the oullk'ld 1 think Omahu has drawn the
cream of thu wbolo butch. Kelley is rated
way up , nnd I could have traded hint for any
pitcher In the whola outfit. Ho Is the phoiiom
o highly recommended by Umpire Gaffnoy
and Jake Morse of the Boston Herald. Last
season ho played several games with Frank
tioloo's champions , und was only displaced
by the full recovery of Bob Lowe , the regu
lar member. Ho U a great sprinter and a
bitter from awuy bucit. You know all about
Deb Gllksl Hn's an atl-iound muti aud o
good onu , und in an emergency can bo tail-
izod lu the box , ni can also Spraguo. The
.nter is the old Chicago Western association
pi toher ; ho is a left-hander and probably ono
of tha surest and hardest hitters in the
whole loaguo. For catchers wo have Hayes
nd Ivory. Htiyos cornea from Wor
cester , and they say ho Is a very line
catohor , wit hall the qualities In backstopPing -
Ping and throwing , and swings a nasty bat.
\rory \ U Amos Kusio's old catcher , and last
season did great work for Terre Ilnuto In
Iho Two-Kycd league. But to toke the eg.
probation us a whole , I am verv well satis
fied. If they do not pan out to suit mo I'll
cat cotter jnou to fill their places , that is all
there Is about that. "

Arlon the Flyer.
J. M. Forbes in Now York Sun : Natur
ally , my lirst thought will bo to ralso fast
horses. To that cud I have secured Iho best
stock 1 could flnu. I believe 1 possess in
Arion the speediest stallion over aeon on the
track. I baa to pay a round sum for himbat
I wanted the best , and I have it. 1 wish you
would correct an absurd story which hus
DJCII going the rounds of the papers with re
gard to the sale of Arlon. It has Uoou said
that I puid fl.'iO.OOU for him. That is wrong.
The price was $125,001) , nnd I couldn't got
him for one cent luss. It is nonsonsu to say
that I paid a fancy price for him for the solo
roaion that I wanted the opportunity to
claim that I had paid the highest price over
paid for a horso. Ttmt is simply ridiculous.
I hope I am too sensible a business man to
pay a aollnr more for any article than I am
obliged to pay. I didn't do it in
this Instance. I paid (125,000 because I had
to. It wus a big prico. but us llio horse was
such a superior animal the ordinary rules of
trade could not bo applied In this case. I
wanted him , nnd Senator Stanford would not
port with him for any smaller sum. My
stables are very simple. I have traveled ox-
tonslvely nnd have visited stocic farms in all
parts of the woild , but none outsluo of Ken-
tucuy came up to my Ideal of what a stocic
faim should bo. I ballcvo the Kentucky
breeders huvo discovered the secret of breed
ing successfully , and my farm buildings were
constructed on the same principle , Sim
plicity of construction , cleanliness , plenty of
light and air , protection from suauon changes
In the weather , nnd bare ground to stana
upon are , I believe , the chief requlslts for
the successful breeding of fast horses. My
stable * iiro constructed > upon that plan. [
am a linn believer In tbo Intelligence of
horses. If a hiirao is pioporly bandied ,
I boltova ho can ho made to
understand and obey any command
within the bounds of reason. Sight is one of
tbo greatest factors In the education of n
horse. Ho wants to see what u going on.
For that reason I have constructed niy sta
bles so that each stall has a largo window so
low that my horses can look out of doors and
enjoy the landscape. When the weather
will permit , these windows art ) opened and
the horses can stretch their nocks out of
doors and got plenty ot frosa air and un-
shine. At night und in stormy wtntber these
windows are closed , but each is provided
with a good-sized ventilator , which keeps
lha air circulating without throwing u
draught upon the horses. Hut the most Im-
Ijortant feature of my stalls is tbo founda
tion. My horses stand on loam ; they eat it ;
they loop on It , Mother earth is tha best
specific * for a horse that I know of. Give a
bore plenty ot light and air , plenty of exer
cise , plenty of the right kiud of food , and
plenty of clean loam to eat , and ho will
always bo la good condition. That is the se
cret of tbo success of Kentucky-bred horses ,
The Hluo ( Jross region is famous for Its
horsesbut I ( Irmly believe that it is the good
Kentucky alrt , and not the grots , that la tbo
secret o ( the success In horse racing. There
uro not many who realize how much dirt a
horse oats lu the course of a day. Why , It is
not an uncommon thing for a horse to cat a
good sized capful at earth in a slnclo
day. Ho needs it to stimulate his
digostlvo organ * just us much
as a fowl needs gravel. Keen
n horse mvay from dirt , shut him up in a
stall with board foundations , and ho will
quickly got out of condition. My stalls are
constructed on this plan. For the foundation
T have a thick layer of gravel , nnd over that
1 place several inches of clean , rich loam.
That Is all , except occasionally n layer of
straw in extremely cold weather. The gravel
serves as a drain for all impurities nnd the
loam is changed as often as the occasion
seems to demand. As soon as It loses its
freshness it is removed and a now layer is
spread. As a result of this system , my stalls
are kept absolutely clean and sweet without
the use of any disinfectants. There are no
unnecessary ornamentation ! ! . Such things
collect the dust and keep the air full of Im
purities. For that reason I have constructed
my stables as simply as possibly.

Although tbora are dogs owned In Ne
braska that would be noticed lu any company
the Omaha Kennel club will give special
prizes at tb&ir fall show for local dogs. Tbo
money prboa will probably bo $10 for the
first and 15 for second In tbo challenge open
and puppy classes for each breed , and as
there will be about thirty-llvo brozds pro
vided for , the premium list , together with
the special prizes , will amount to somewhere
near $1,500.
This Is qulto an undertaking for the Omaha
Kennel club , but cities of a smaller popula
tion than Omaha have hold bench shows with
nn equal premium list , that were a financial
success , and tbo management feel conlldont
of a liberal patronage by tbopeoploof the city.
The quality of the dogs exhibited will bo as
good as any show has produced , as there are
some of the bet kennels in the country lo
cated in the western states. The main ob
ject of holding these bench shows is to bring
together lu friendly competition dog brood
ers , and to encourage them in thn enterprise ,
and to show the public the difference be
tween a thoroughbred and u mongrel.
The show recently given by the Westmin
ster Kennel club in Now York was attended
by over IKUOO ) people and tbcro were some
1,200 dogs benched. This proves the business
to bo gaining in popularity In the oast.
In tno March ft number of the American
Field there Is n description or standard of all
broods of aogs , prepared by George Itapor ,
one of the most eminent dog judges of Eng
land ; and as ilia modern standards are some
what different from those of Stonouongo and
Dalzfols' time , those articles ought to bo
greatly appreciated bv breeders and pur
chasers alike.

that his St. IScmnrd bitch Youla by
Champion Victor Joseph , Nevada , has

ure all dome well and mo IIno. Those puppies
will probably nil ba purchased by brooders
as this cross Is considered the boat lu the
country.
Shellonbergor writes that ho has sent hi
bitch KnglUh setter puppy Allegro by Kod-
erlgo , Maud , Jean Vnljcan to Nosmt , the
Held trial handler , to bo trained for the
southern field trial derbv next fall.
0.1' , Hubbard of Tuckervlll writes ho
has put his Hlclio. Major red Irish setter
puppy In training for the rod Irish setter
triuls next fall. Also Peggy by Jeny Jarvli ,

This stock of bhellonbarpers ana Hubbards
is the best in the land and if tbev are not

won't bo their owners' fault.
