. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. Vol XIV. No ! BUSH SXKEET. SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, 18, By Conner, dam Delia Walker. The property of M. T. Walters, Lake County, Oregon. We present to oar renders this week an exceedingly good picture of Al Farrow, about whom there has been so much contention in the Pacific Coapt Blood Horse Association, and for the possession of which the courts in Sacramento have been appealed to this week. There is no need of giving an elaborate description of the horse, as the artist has turned out such an exact likeness of Al Farrow that the reader can see for himself what a large, finely-built fellow he is.

It is true he has won at a mile and an eighth, but only in moderate company. He started last year. according to the Guide, in seventeen races, of which he won eight, being second in six and unplaced three times. Al Farrow was brought into great prominence by his San Jose performance, where, although he was an open two lengths to the bad when the flag fell, t till managed to win from Geral- dine by a nose in 1:40.
