several notable changes and purchases
nave taken place among the "Bold Riders
durlng the week, prominent among which il
the purchase by that hard rider, Steve. @.
Cook, OF the thoroughbred gelding, "Ken-
lucky Prince" The Prince is five years old
by that celebrated racer and sire, Princeton,
out OF a Lexington mare. He is beautiful
nch golden chestnut, small patch of white
about either hind heel, and star which lights
up his face like morning sunbeam. He il
wonderfully fine in throttle, neck and shout
ders, which a perfectly moulded middle
piece and loln joins to magnificent quarters.
bis legs are marvel of strength and grace
ful beauty, and should stand the test which
his new owner will call upon him to per-
form. In fact his entire make up has all
the elegance and finish of the high bred
racer. de has never been put in training
which makes him all the better horse for the
future-but from his breeding and conforma-
ton would undoubtedly find place in the
most fashionable company. We believe Mr..
COOK intends using him exclusively for his
private saddle horse, and will most probably
put him to cross country work, to which
soul stirring sport his owner is somewhat
addicted.
Geo. Il. Monfort has become the owner of
handsome light chestnut gelding six years
old, with plenty of style and staying quail
ties, which he will use for saddle purposes.
George is as graceful in the saddle as in the
ball room, and when mounted and equipped
upon the gallant chestnut, will ride in the
van of the bold riders cavaIcade.
The new addition to the riding fraternity
is W. G. Wheeler. This popular young
gentleman has recently purchased of Mr..
Steve. G. Cook the grey saddle horse 'John
Barleycorn." which was brought from the
English colony in Martin county last fall,
and is thoroughly educated in saddle cud
cross-country work-being an old follow If
the hounds in the Fairmont Hunt. He "a.
also an enviable reputation as hurdle racer,
being the winner of several events during
last season. In the language of his late
owner, ''John Barleycorn is the gamest and
best little horse in the business"
Mr.. G. A. B. Shave, of this city, has q
week old colt foal, brown bay, by Mambrino
Gift, out of his mare Zephyr, by Sargent.
The breeding of this foal is most excellent,
Mambrino Gift, before bis death, being con-
sidered by many the greatest of all entire
trotting horses. The youngster will proba-
bly, be called Memory. Mr.. Shave, to secure
this highly bred foal, with an enterprise as
unusual in this section es it is creditable,
sent the mare Zephyr by rail to Michigan for
the embrace of Gift, and it is not at all sur
prising, therefore, that he is particularly
elated over the successful result. Mr..
Shave will take pleasure in showing tho
youngster and mother to those calling at 245
| East Ninth street.
Cameron & Losey, La Crosse, one Of the
acknowledged leaders of the bar of tho
Northwest, and now of counsel i'll the Page
impeachment trial, was never noted for his
personal beauty, or for "style.'' But he
always would have stylish and fast horse,
the latter qualification being the essential,
When at home now Mr.. Losey takes the air
behind handsomely matched pair that step

that, too, without any particular urging. A
great many fast roadsters are owned in La
Crosse, but by general consent, Mr.. Losey

Clark Chambers, Esq, Owatonna, one of
the earliest settlers, and the present efficient
sheriff of Steele county, is a genuine lover
of good horse, as well as a firm believer in
the theory that, in all places, either for the
farm or the road, the better the animal the
cheaper, and more economical the animal il,
