Horse Notes.
On Wednesday last Mr.. Philip s. Harris,
land commissioner of the st. Paul & Duluth |
shipped from Cynthiana, KY, a
saddle mare for his own use, and a saddle
horse for Prof. Fogg. Mr.. Harris
spent about two weeks in looking over the
fine stock of Kentucky, famous for its horse
1esh and as he knows horse when he sees
it, it is presumed he has something nice.
Both Mr.. Harris and Prof. Fogg have made
these purchases with view of joining the
ST. Paul Driving Club, or ':bcld riders,'' to
which they will be decided acquisition.
Mr.. r. Barden is to be congratulated.
Thursday last his mare Crystal dropped
horse colt by Western Chief The new
conner is bay like his sire, fine proportions
and stylish build, and Mr.. Barden naturally
thinks he has ''good un.' It certainly
ought to be, and the GLOBE trusts it will be.
The new driving park is now in a fair way
of being thing of bona tide existence, the
meeting this evening resulting probably, in
the organization of an ASSOCIATION with sutf-
cient stock subscribed to warrant an imme-
date commencement of work upon the
grounds and buildings. Should
the new park be opened, and
literally and judiciously managed,
there is no doubt the effect would be bene-
fetal to turf sports in St. Paul and vicinity.
The grounds selected being in immediate
view of the main business portion of the
city, the exercise and work of the horses
would be continued reminder of the sport,
while on race days, with the sport fairly I'M
der ones nose, and the admission fixed at
popular prices,'' as John X would say large
numbers of people would attend who would
never think of doing SO with the race at the
present park. It is also claimed that there
| need not necessarily be any clash of interests
/ between the two organizations. Said one of
the best known and highly respected horse
| men of the State, to the writer, day or
two since: 81 hope the new park will be
| opened, and if was in charge of the present
park, / shonld be of the same opinion. 1t
cannot in any way injure the old park.
On the contrary, it will operate to
educate the people in love for
trials of speed, and by thus increasing the
interest, insure more liberal patronage of
| turf events, the benefit of which will to a
greater or less extent be reaped by the man
agement of the old park The GLOBE
neither endorses or dissents from this view.
But this department of the GLOBE does want
to see driving park SO managed in this
city, that it will bring horsemen here with
their flyers from all parts of the State ard
Northwest for fitting, and that will give our
people an opportunity to occasionally see
and enjoy exciting races, both trotting and
running.
Messrs. G. w. Youmans and E. G. Nevins,
of Winona, recently brought from Illinois, a
splendid lot of heavy draught horses, en-
bracing fourteen mares-grades, but chiefly
of Norman and Clyde stock. Also one
handsome three year old stallion, five lights
Norman, which took the first
prize in the Missouri State
fair held at st. Louis last year. The mares
average in weight over 1900 pounds. They
will be taken to the large farm of Mr.. E. S
Youmans, near Marshall, Lyon county, and
used for farm and breeding purposes.
Among the horses attracting attention tt
the little mare Foxie ", owned by Mr.. Vezie
of the firm of Judd and Vezie, Marine Falls
stands pre-eminent. The mare is by Kins
Herod, by Sherman's Black Hawk. Tn,
breeding of her dam is in obscurity. Sh
was foaled in 1869, and made her first ap
pearance on the turf last season, going
into fast company at the start, and in {
series Of hard fought battles, the majority o
which she won and from all of which sh!

reported to have wintered well and to sho1
every appearance of being able to repeat he
, glorious career of last season. Mr.. Vezie
also the owner of Capt. Herod, half brothe
of Foxie ", and, like her, chestnut. Capt
, Herod was foaled in 1878, is 1515 hands hig
and strongly built. He was handled littl
last year and got record of 3:05; the gre

about LOO pounds; Susie, black mar
foaled in 1870, 15I hands, record of 2:444

drove Foxie V. last year, is handling tn
trotter.
