KANSAS TINE FUTURE TROHlM.
MECCA.
The Stab es Of Amasa Sprague and
Benj. T. Akers,

Benj. F. Akers,
A. now United the Strongest in tn
World.
The arrival of Col. Sprague and Mr.. AkeI
from Rhode Island, bringing with them tn
renowned stud Of the former, caused consld
cradle commotion among the lovers OF tn
trotting horse. Indeed, the scene at th
stables of Mr.. Akers, during the entire weel
was of character never before witnessed ii
Ieayeuvorth. Scores upon scores OF hors
fanciers. and others who seldom, ii ever
take aDy interest in turf matters, called 4
zee the equines who stand peerless in tn
annals of the turf. The establishment il
Kansas of a stud upon scale of such magnfi
icepce was classed among the impossibilities
but the appearance of Ethan Allen, Rhod
Island, St, Elmo, Sprague's Hambletonian
Mambrino, Patchen, stallion, &C., has solves
the problem. Through the efforts OF Messrs
Sprague and Akers, Kansas cannot fai
becoming bright light in the constellation
OF trotting States. The improvement O
of E,ss.rr S,,,es Is , t,,r eyamnle of wbal
enterprise, perseverance, and an outlay o.
means can sccomplish-all Of their stock has
attained 10 perfection second 10 none, and
thew are rightly termed the stock nursery OF
the United Slater. Breeding of the trotting
horse is with us yet in its infancy. Our
people will have TO be taught by experience,
consequently We hope to see at an early day,
that they have grappled the subject with the
energy and force characteristic of other
States. which have studied it for years and
become convinced of It's benefits. TrCtting
has made wonderful strides throughout the
country within the past quarter Of century.
Formerly it was denounced from the pulpit,
and looked upon as containing all the ele-
men,s of outlawry; but it has steadily gained
the confidence of the people, and Is now pat
ronized by the most cultivated and refined,
from the honorable manner i'm which its
affairs are managed, and from the reputation
and integrity of its patrons.
Upon the arrival Of Mr.. Sprague's bro,d
mares. we shall dwell upon the subject of
breeding, its value 10 our State, &c, at
greater length. Our readers will be pleased
to content themselves with a description Of
the stations as we saw them. The first We
had the honor 10 interview was the famous
ETHAN ALLEN.
