The game sportsmen, N. W. Hubinger, who retired from the trotting horse business a year or two ago, is getting together some racing material that will undoubtedly carry his colors to the front again. He recently purchased for 10,000dol. Maury Pointer a full brother to Star Pointer, that is said to be a wonderful pacer. He has also become the owner of the green trotter Willard, by Dexter Prince, dam by Electioneer, second dam May, by Wildidle, son of imported Australian. Willard wgs bought by M. B Smith at the Fagig Tipton Sale at Madison Square Garden last November for 270d01. Mr Smith sent the horse to trainer Dave McClary, who, after handling him six weeks pronounced him one of the fastest green trotters in the world He has shown a mile in 2:19, last quarter in 31f seconds, and they say that is not the limit of his speed. Mr Smith recently priced Willard to Mr Hubinger at 2500d01., who completed the deal without a momemt’s delay (says the Breeder and Sportsman.)

Axtell, the noted stallion that was sold several years ago to a syndicate composed of W. J Gams of Terre Haute, John W. Conley of Chicago, Buid Doble, then of Chicago, and Fred Moran of Detroit for 105,000d01. is to be sold at the Madison Square Garden Horse Show sale in November. He was bred by C W. Williams at Independence, la., and foaled in 1886. He was sired by Williams L., dam Lou, by Mambrino Boy; grandam, Bird Mitchell, by Mambrino Royal, son of Mambrino Pilot. He made his record, 2:12, at Terre Haute in October, 1889, when he was a three year old.

Those connected with E H. Harriman’s stable of light harness horses at Goshen, emphatically deny the report that Jobn B. Gentry, the great pacer, is permanently injured. The little red horse is now in his quarters at the Goshen track, and is being carefully nursed. Messrs John Churton and Co. sold the privileges in connection with the Auckland Trotting Club’s Spring Meeting, which will be held next Saturday and Wednesday. Mr J. Donovan, of the Aurora Hotel, Auckland, purchased the right to dispense liquor for £55, the cards were bought by Mr J. McCullough for £3O, and the gates realised £5O,
