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.
