amusing, and one which will linger in
the memory among the strange pictures

a forcing of effect on the part OF the
speakers which led to grave doubts OF

Mrs. Fair repaired TO a gun store and

A New Equine WOnder-The Latest Adj.

From Wilkes Spirit

Mr.. Robert Bonner has made an eX-
cursiOn to Kentucky. and visited Doctor
Herr at his beautiful and convenient
place near Lexington. We should have
been we'll pleased to have heard the in.
structive conversation. apt instances
and weighty arguments between these
two truly great horsemen. When we
heard Of Mr. Bonners trip we con.
cluded that he had gone to Kentucky
to select few high bred, or even thor.
oughbred. mares to put to his illustrious
stallion Edward Everett, sire of Joe
Elliott, Mountain Boy, VIM. Fullerton,
etc. If that was the case, he saw some
thing else which took his attention and
filled his eye. for we learned day or
two since that he bought of the Doctor
the famous three-year-old colt Nam.
brine BERTHE, whose trial last year upon
the Buckeye Course. Cincinnati. was
the most wonderful that ever was heard
Of
We now have dispatch before US
from Mr. Bonner, in which he says that
Mambrino BERTHE is. in his opinion. the
most extraordinary colt the world has
produced. He adds " ! never saw
horse that trotted with as much ease.
He is nearly as large as the Auburn
| horse, but is more rangy and has %
| longer stride" That he is q real clinker
we have always been satisfied. and our
only fear was that the three trials then
given him might have upset him.
Afterward. however, we were assured
by our able correspondent, IS. L. h..
that it had not done so, and we learned
from Dr.. Herr himself that he had not
minded it bit. The history of the
trials is as follows:
Mambrino Berthe brown colt by the
stallion own brother to Lady Thorn out
of mare by Mambrino Chief, was
foaled in May. 1868, and was so named
after DR.. Hers second son BERTHE. His
age can be fully substantiated. which is
to the purpose, as some unable to con-
ceive Of the possibility of such perform.
ances by a two-year-old. pretended that
he was at least four. His pedigree-by
Mambrno Patchen out of the Nam
brine Chief mare-can also be substan-
tiated, but for all that we expect. as in
DeXter's case. to hear he was foaled in
Maine or Canada. and got by somebody's
stallion at the cross roads. As Nam.
brlno BERTHE does not possess four white
legs and a blaze, we do not suppose any
pose anybody will give in that he was
got by Harry Clay. If he did own
these marks there would be "probable
cause" for a number Of atfidavits to that
effect.
On the 18th of November last year,
being then Is hands 3 inches high.
Mambrino BERTHE was taken to the
Buckeye Course, put in harness, and
driven mile in pm. AZ AS. After a
rest of 20 minutes he was driven an.
other mile in pm. and A lbs. In 20
minutes more he was driven two miles
in 5m. 90 LBS, which is better than
Pm. 45s. TO the mile. The statement of
these trials is sufficient. Nothing can
be added to the effect of it by COM
ments. We hope to see the colt in
few days. and we esteem him we'll
