The Coming Horse.


2'23 MADE BY AN UNFRAMED sTALLIoN.-THE
HORSE THAT HOWE TRIED TO BUY-AEM. FOR
BONNER.
From The Chicago Tribune
A few weeks since it was stated in several of
the journals of this country that great troLting
phenomenon had jusU4been brought out at
Paris. The statement gave the time OF the
horse at 2'23, which was said to have been made
without any previous training. The report was
not believed on this side of the water, and
wagers were freely offered that no such perform
ance had been made. From gentleman who
has just returned from Paris, where he wit
messed the trial, and who is of unquestionabe
vefaclty, we gather the following:-
On the visit of the Car to Paris, he brought
with him, among other objects OF interest, a
stallion which was natural trotter, and which,
never having been trained, had developed an
extraordinary degree of speed. This was the
horse Bedouin, an animal of Arabian blood,
crossed with Holland stock. He has been in
the Emperor's stables ever since foaling, and
began to show the qualities of trotter at seven
years. When the Gear vent to Paris he took
the stallion with him. In June last trial was
made of the speed OF the horse in the Bois de
Boulogne in the presence of a large gathering of
English and American gentlemen, patrons of
the turf. The turf was a rounded rectangle,
much the shape and size OF one of our ordinary
halfmile courses.
In heavy Russian gig weighing l25 pounds,
the groom of the stallion, a man weighing l25
pounds drove the horse, which was very heshy,
and not by any means ia good speeding condi-
tion, three times about the course in the time
OF 447. The track was measured by several
gentlemen, curious to know the exact time, and
was found to measure nearly ive-eighths of
mile. The stallion had therefore trotted a mile
and seven-eiehths at the rate of 2'23b to mile
The effort was at once made by a number of our
Americans TO purchase the horse, and Elias
Howe, Jr., offered 100000 for him, it is said.
The Car refused to part with him, intending to
keep him for breeding purposes.
Bedouin is eleven years old, fifteen hands
of the above trial ll3O pounds. He has beau
tiful head, limbs clean and very strong, with
tail sweeping the ground. 1t was thought that,
in good condition, the stallion could trot mile
in 2'll at least.

~ r. r. lrxx.--From tho follow;1e
which We 6"d in late issue of the Dubuous
Herald, it is TO b inferred that the old Du
boque and Sioux City Railroad Conpan, ,
hsve at last gone to work in eayuss, to ex.
tend their road westward:
"A packing house has been opened in
town for furnishing the old D. / s. R.R.
Company with bone and muscle, who, ".
understand, arc pushin~ the road forward
With ~ll ii. po~er they can command. Jas.
Fly"o L Co.. as 80 Main street, are packing
loo barrels "f beef for Douglas. brown L
Co, to feed their men this winter. Tnis
firm are heavy contractors, and have l,r,e
force Of vorkmen employed. This looks
like building the road in fact, and not on "a.
per. The contract for extending the road
's IN good hsnds, and 20 is the contract for
furnishing the meat"
