the BLUE-tiIiASS RF.UIOX
ITS STOCK FARMS, THEIR OWNERS
AND THEIR PRODUCTS.
"The Athens of the West” —Henry
Clay's Home at Ashland —" Tatter
sail’s’’— The Birthplace of the Great
Lexington The Once Famous
McGrathiaua.
jryoiii the Missouri Republican.
In the central portion of Kentucky there
js a fair group Of counties lying together
like a picture —elegant farms that spread
out their broad pastures like so many pri
vi,to parks; acre upon acreof waving grain;
nud everywhere the long, lush blue-grass,
that nature has so bountifully provided for
this region, undulating like the waves of the
sea. It is the famous Blue-grass country—
famous the world over wherever lino horse
flesh is known and appreciated.
Perhaps this old and aristocratic little
citv of Lexington is to be considered the
very soul and centre of this garden-spot,
AU roads seem to lead to it, and from it
thev branch off into infinite distance. They
are called turnpikes here, and are broad,
and smooth, and white with limestone dust,
for the whole fertile region rests upon a
limestone substratum. Here and there, m
between these turnpikes, are the stock
farms, whose names have become familiar
through the length and breadth of the
land. They can be described far off —the
dwellings and fences gleaming white
in the midst of their surroundings—
and not a stray scrap of debris about
to mar the beautiful neatness arid
onler. It is not at all iufrequent to find the
dwelling house small and unpretentious,
while the stables are roomy and handsome,
quite overpowering the residence, for here
the horse is king. It is to this section that
the Bouuers and Vanderbilts, the Lorillards
and Belmonts come when thev want a fine
young trotter ora promising thoroughbred.
Many of the Eastern millionaires who have
a fancy for horseflesh keep a resident buyer
here, who constantly makes the rounds of
these celebrated breeding places, and at
tends all the great horse sales, with a watch
ful eye for anything like a prize turning up
in bis line.
In this city and section not to be well up
in pedigrees and the general horse vocabu
lary is to be away behind the spirit of the
times. The race cours* is naturally the
great institution, and this one was laid out
in the days of the revolutionary war, and
is as old as our independence. On the oppo
site side of the town is a handsome trotting
track which is much more modern. Lex
ington is one of the quaintest and most con
ventional of towns. There is a scholastic
flavor in its quiet atmosphere—happy relic
of its palmy days when old Transylvania
University filled the land with its fame, and
turned so'many eyes toward “the Athens of
the West. More than all else, here dwelt
the silver-tongued statesman at
Ashland, just beyond the tangle
of streets, who drew so many
of the world’s dignitaries to bis gates. Clay 's
colossal statute in the cemetery uplifts its
head above all surrounding objects; and op
posite, east of the city, the waving ash and
walnut trees of his old home lift their green
crowns. Ashland is once more in the hands
of the Clay family, and that part of the
mansion which contains Henry Clay's pri
vate apartments, with the same furniture
used by him during hi.-, life, is set apart for
the sight-seers, who will come daily from all
parti of the world to stand reverently in the
rooms once inhabited by their illustrious
owner. A special servant is kept by the
McDowell family to attend such visitors,
and a huge register records their names,
sometimes as many as fifty in one day.
Just across the pike from historic Ash
land is Ash'i sd park, the breeding estab
lishment of M V B. J. Treaey. These stables
contain the finest y lung trotting stock in the
country the year round. Wealthy buyers
from the East and AVest, from the Pacific
coast and the Territories, come to these
stables to purchase. Mr. Treaey is joint
owner of the well known “TattersalTs," on
Main street, in this city—a stable so vast
and elegant that it quite outshines its
neighbor, th i Phei.ux Hotel, that ancient
and swell hostelry of the Bluegrass. “Tat
tersall’s” has a department fitted up for
ladies who transact their own business, for
many a proud Kentucky dame with a pedi
gree'as long as her thoroughbred’s, raises
superb stock on her rich acres, and knows
how to market them, too.
Back of Ashland is Forest Park, the
home of that genial gentleman and turf
man, Dr. Herr and also of Mambrino Ring.
To the left is Gen. Withers’ flue place, Fair
lawn, from whose stable the General a few
years since shipped a lot of young trotters
to the far-off Sandwich Islands. Directly
across from him is the old Warfield farm,
the birthplace of the great Lexington,
whose name is yet a household word in this
region. Farther up this same wide turn
pike rises a stately mansion set on a green
hill, with many crystal windows and long
piazzas, haudsome drives and a sweep of
smooth lawn before it. This is the once
famous McGrathiana, formerly the
property of Price McGrath—since his
death in the possession of Milton
L. Young. Under the hill are the long
stablos built by the former owner, in which
the great Tom Bowling and his confrere,
Aristides, used to dream of victory. Noted
as the Kentuckians are for hospitality, per
haps no place in the State dispenses it so
profusely as McGrathiaua; aud no one en
joyed life so keenly as its genial owner, who
went by the title of “the laird of Mo
Grathiana.” Each year, as the spring
t. tiling i-arue on, this mansion was crowded
with distinguished guests, and a grand ban
quent inaugurated The /<",(.■ nt/es, on which
OCCKiion i • a> jgucbl i.s t'ipcctCii to quaff
from the massive silver punch-bowl, which
was a trophy of one of Tom Bowling’s
Eastern victories.
All the way from Lexington to Frankfort
the route is lined with notable places, whose
names are conspicuous in turf annals, and
whose representatives have won honors upon
every prominent race-c >urse in America
many of them possessing more t han national
fame. Clustered around the little Kentucky
capital, and diverging from it like the
spokes of a fan, are the Alexander and
Harper estates, the Grinstead, the Mc-
Dowell, the Hunt Reynolds place reaching
way off to Indian hill, the property of R.
K. Veecli, a I/ouisville banker, whose stock
ranks at a premium, and where, it is said,
distinctively the true blue-grass begins.
Along the distant horizon may be seen the
outline of Blue-grass park, the demesne of
the late Keene Richards, the only American
who ever went in person to the des
erts of Arabia and imported Arabian stock
for his private uRe. A portion of the dwell
ing was burned shortly after tho death of
the owner, but enough remains to denote
what the mansion was when intact. Hearer
at hand is the Buford farm (adjoining Alex
ander’s) connected with which was a long
litigation, and at last a series of bloody
tragedies, including the killing of Judge
Elliott at the Capital hotel in Frankfort by
Toni Buford, the subsequent death of the
latter in a madhouse, and tho suicide of his
brother, Gen. Abe Buford—thus completely
obliterating one of the oldest and proudest
of Kentucky families. Then there are hl
mendorf, ftunnymede, Edgewater, Dixi
unna, and a host of others familiar to every
horseman in the land.
A dozen miles or more out on the r rank
fort pike is Nantunu, the Harper home
stead, where old John Harper ana his aged
sister were mysteriously inurdered a few
.years since, and where their nephew, Mr.
Frank Harper, himself a roan near 70. rue
fed and homespun, now lives and rules.
he farm contains about 600 acres, divined
mainly into pasturage and woodland.
Indeed, these stock-breeders seldom give
much law to cultivation, but purchase
largely the necessary farm supplies. The
dwelling is rather small and very old-fash
ioned, and nestlee quietly away in the thick
grove of maple and beech, about a mde
from the road. The stables are about the
most complete and extensive arrangements
in the place. Here a few months ago the
Veat Ten Brecck departed this luu, and
is buried just in front of the door of
his old stable, An Eastern firm
is now constructing a mausoleum for him,
which is a cottage in design, seven feet high,
surmounted by an urn. Inscribed upon it
will be the record of birth and death,
and each of his great turf triumphs.
Truly, thesj rough old stockmen love their
dumb charge* surpassing well. These are
the same stables that received the kingly
confrere of Ten Broeck, Longfellow, when
his great achievements on the course were
accomplished an 1 he was retired from the
turf. Mr. Harper always sleeps in the
stable with his horses when they are pre
paring for a great race, but at home the
utmost freedom is allowed. The negro
boys on the farm, whose pride in the horses
equals their master’s, will leap on the be re
back of a $.50,000 turf favorite and drive up
the cows, or fly off to the postoffico or any
household errand.
Adjoining the Harper estate is AVoodburn,
the homestead of the Alexander-, aud the
best known place in America, having given
more winners to the track than any other.
It is four times the size of New York’s Cen
tral Park, aud is truly a princely demesne.
It is now under the management of Mr. L.
Brodhead, a genuine lover of the horse, who
has devoted himself to the high development
of the thoroughbred. Looking upon the rich
acres of level jlastures knee-deep in luxuri
ant blue-grass, and the stately woodlands of
mapleand beech and oak, of walnut and ash,
beautiful as the primeval forests, it is not
difficult to conceive liow the first of these
Alexanders, a Scottish nobleman, came to
Kentucky on his youthful travels, aud
losing his heart to the beauty and great- pos
sibilities of this lovely land, relinquished
his proud birthright across the sea, and
linked his name and fortune with the enter
prise that stands at the bead of all such in
America to-day.
There is something very taking in the
frank, free'heartiness of the Kentuckians,
especially to the stranger within their gates,
let him come whence ha may. The latch
strings hang on the outside in every dwell
ing, high or low, and the best the establish
ment affords is offered to the guest, “and
no questions asked.”
Two Tiger Stories.
from Shikar Stories by J. Brown.
Myself and a brother officer reached dur
ing our trip a place called Marouda, situated
on the banks of a river, a tributary of the
AVein Gunga, if I remember rightly, in the
Chanda district. AVe here heard that a
tiger, tigress aud three cubs frequented a
strip of jungle on the banks of the river;
the tigress, moreover, had by native report
been magnified into a “man-eater,” and was
said to have killed a man the day previous
to our arrival. This, indeed, proved to lie
the fact; but that the poor wretch lost his
life was due entirely to hi own carelessness
and foolhardiness, The man in question
had a small patch of cultivation border
ing the cover in which the tigers
generally lay up. The cubs in their gambols
had done considerable damage to the crop,
rolling about in it, and breaking down the
plants. In order to prevent their making
his field their playground, the owner, in
spite of being advised to the contrary, an
nounced his determination of setting fire to
the long grass at the end of the jungle. This
intention he accordingly proceeded to carry
into effect, aud had ' hardly kindled the
flames which were to insure him from future
damage, when the tigress, which had been
lying up within a few yards of him, rushed
out and knocked him" over, killing him al
most instantaneously. She, however, left
him and never ate any of the body, as she
would have done had she been a real man
eater. The evening of our arrival we had
three or fom - “bailas” tied out, and the
following morning had the satisfaction
of hearing one was killed. Accordingly,
about 11 o’clock, we started with some
eighty beaters for the scene of action. The
carcass of the calf had been dragged by the
tigress into a small nullah that debouched
into the main river; about half a mile
farther on there was a similar nullah, and
between these two we took up our positions
in trees and some fifty yards apart. The
beat had not commenced more than five
minutes and I was gazing eagerly to my
front when I saw the tigress, followed by
three cubs, not quite half grown, and about
the size of big mastiffs, coming straight
toward me. She was slouching sulkily
along, evidently much put out at being dis
turbed, and the cubs trotted after her, one
of them every nowand then stopping, with
Cricked ears, and gazing back toward the
eaters: then it would scamper on after its
mother. It was a pretty sylvan
scene, and the sunlight, falling on
their sleek-striped hides as they moved
noiselessly over the dead leaves that car
peted the ground, glittered and quivered in
famastic rays. They came straight oi for
my post, and got within ten yards of p e,
when, with an upward curl of the lip an. a
twitching of the tip of her tail, that well
known sign of irritation which always
means mischief on the part of the feline
race, the tigress stopped to list* n; and as
she turned her head back gazing toward t-,,e
beaters I aimed at her neck between its
junction with the shoulders and the ears
and fired. She dropped in her tracks with
out a groan and never stirred. It seemed
as if in a twinkling the ground had, as it
were, been cut from under her logs, at the
same moment depriving her of life with the
speed of electricity. I only on one other
occasion ever saw any large animal pass so
suddenly from life to death without even a
twitch or movement of a muscle.
Two gentlemen, we will call them A. and
8., residing together on an estate, bad lost,
besides other employes, two “chowkedars,”
or native watchmen, within a few days,
and the unfortunate men had been actually
ciu rried oil out ot the veranda of the bun
galow. A. and 8., therefore, determined
to clothe themselves like native*, and sit
I during tin ichr. art",- /. in U K > veranda, in
me hopes they might Is- able to get a shot
at the man-eater, who they thought might
probably return to the spot which had
already provided him with two victims.
Tney proceeded to carry out this intention,
and sat up until 3 or 3 o'clock in the morn
ing, but nothing appeared. A. then said
lie should not stay up any longer, as he did
not believe the animal would come; but B.
announced his intention of waiting half an
hour longer by himself. There
were large windows opening down
to the floor of the veranda,
and through one of these A. retired, and
after entering his room had just closed the
w indow and was gazing out lor an instant,
when he saw a dark mass land in the veran
da right on to his friend, then heard sounds
of a scuffle and a cry for help. Seizing his
rifle, to which a sword bayonet was attached,
and flinging up the window, he rushed out
in time to see B. walking down the steps
. that led up to the veranda from the garden
alongside of the tiger, with his hand in the
latter’s mouth! A. was afraid to fire, lest
he should hit his friend, so running after
him he, with admirable presenco of mind,
w ent up to the tiger and plunging his bayo
net into the animal's body at the same in
stant fired. There was a roar and a scuffle,
and B. took advantage of the moment to re
lease his hand, and the tiger, after
tumbling about for a moment or two, died.
B.’s hand was terribly mangled, and he sub
sequently, I believe, had to have it amputa
ted ; but the loss of a hand was a eompara
t,iv<‘Vv cheap price to pay for saving his life,
which was mainly owing to the wonderfu 1
coolness of himself and his friend. From
his narrative of the event, it appears that as
soon as A. had closed the window the tiger
(who must have been all the time lying close
to theml landed in the veranda with a
mighty spring, and seized B. by the band.
He with wonderful coolness, at once on be
ing seized made no effort to extricate the
limb, though the pain must have been ex
cruciating, but quietly rising followed the
tiger’s movements, and actually walked
some way by his side with his hand in the
brute’s mouth, until A., by his prompt and
determined action, released him.
