possession Of bis practical and dispassionate
Kentucky owner, who coolly listens to offers
of 100000, and rolls his cigar while replying
that "money cannot buy him." Longfeliow is
perhaps the best bred horse in An erica, his
sire, bennington, having been considered
when bought In England to combine the very
best racing blood In the kingdom. The con-
queror OF Kingfsher is a beautiful brown,
+. standing nearly seventeen hands high, with
one white heeIbehlnd and blaze of white on

his chest is round and full, the shoulders long
and tapering, and the neck strong and well.

Denver and Ell Paso-road. Itthe Texas Pa
cldc adopt the three,toot, then all the busi-
ness from the Pacific coast will naturally
branch off at Ell Paso, across to. Denver,
and over ScotLR Road on to the Union
Pacific, which road will soon be in the
hands of the Pennsylvania Central. This
