Mr.. Jenne--Brilliant Closing of the st.
Louis Jockey Club.
A visit to the St. Paul Driving Park any
of these fine mornings will we'll repay the
lover of the horse, especially if that love is
added also for turf sports. AS has been be-
fore announced the track privileges of the
park have been placed in the hands of Messrs.
Charles L. Lovejoy and Geo. ?. Smith, the
aatter the we'll known trainer and driver
from Lake City. Mr.. Lovejoy is recently
from Des Moines, Iowa, where be enjoyed an
enviable reputation as straightforward and
reliable man in matters of business and as
most careful, experienced, judicious and hon
est horse man.
These gentlemen have only recently taken
possession, and consequently have not as
many horses on their hands, as would have
been the case had they have been in a situa-
ton to have commenced earlier in the sea-
son. Still some twenty head of horses,
mostly "green uns,' are being handled and
tracked, as the GLOBE representative found
upon visit the other morning, upon some
of which the representative drew bis note
book and pencil.
First to come under the reportorial eye
was st. Paul Maid, low, short and
solidly built Hambletonian bay mare,
with black points, the property of MIR.
Thomas S. Marrett. She was given
little track work last season and showed in
2:44 in a trial, and though handled only
couple of weeks this spring can now do
much better. She does her work honestly
and earnestly and keeps a-coming and will be
q troublesome customer when her owner
.cOncIu1ec tf, send her for hnSlnaSS.
Governor Davis, owned by DIR. Stone, is
another coming horse. He is sorrel-chest-
nut gelding, standing about l6 hands, with
white strip and star and two white hind feet.
he has no record, but can make business
for horses trotting in the 40s.
The pride of Messrs. Lovejoy & Smith.
and decidedly the most promising animal on
the grounds, is Juber, q pure black stallion,
coming 4 years, by Richard K. Juber, is
large, rangy animal, standing 1911, has
large, bony and intelligent head, good eye,
good strong body, and splendid limbs. He
is half brother to Lulu, and barring ac-
cidents, ought to acquire equal fame with
that gamy and fast mare. This promising
animal is the property of MIR. William Il.
Merriam.
very promising trotter is Flora, the
property of Mr.. r. H. Oyerpeck. Flora is a
chestnut mare, sired by Broken Legged
Hunter, he by Ferguson's One Eyed
Hunter, the sire of Flora Temple,
dam a running mare. She has record of
2:42, is improving rapidly this spring, and,
it is believed, will be able to lay out lively
work for horses in her class.
Decidedly the handsomest and most
stylish horse on the grounds is the young
stallion Prince of Wales, owned by r. G.
Judson, Esq, secretary of the State Agrl-
cultural society. Prince of Wales is a beau
tiful bright bay with black points, has fine
open action, with blood-like qualities, fiat,
clean, free and heavy muscle, sixteen hands
high, is years old and weighs LOO
pounds. He was sired by the imported
Cleveland bay carriage stallion Masterman,
he by Forrester's Hero, ETC., all pure-bred
English coach horses. His dam is fast
trotting mare by Kentucky Chief. Mr.. Jud-
son is to be congratulated on being the pos
SCISSOR of a bonanza in his horse.
Mr.. Geo. P. Smith has chestnut mare,
blind, that takes her work like a trotter.
She was never in race, and has been given
but little track work, but can show 2:45. The
reporter did not learn her name or breeding,
but will venture the assertion that she will
bear watching when she is brought to the
wire.
A very handsome and promising animal is
Mollie Powers, the property of Powers Bros,
the dry goods men. Molie comes of Ham
bletonian stock, is a bright bay with black
points, smooth and compactly built frame,
with four good legs and business feet to sus-
tain, and stylish carriage. Mollie was never
tracked until some two weeks ago, but can
do her mile in 2:5O without much trouble.
Mr.. Phillip Harris has placed his recent
Eor+uoLu ,,urohoco thu obou+pnt moro
Squeamie, in MIR. Lovejoy's hands for gener:
al fitting, Mr.. Harris not having yet decided
whether to give her any track work this
season or not. The GLOBE has before given
q full description of this fine mare, and viii
not now repeat.
The above are not all the horses bein9
handled by Messrs. Lovejoy Il Smith, bu
they are all that happened to fall under tn
reporters eye during his visit. All, withou
exception, were looking as slick as silk
showing the most judicious, thorough AM
painstaking care.
Mr.. Jenne, the we'll known driver, i
tracking three horses, among whom is M,
Francis St. Germaines handsome and prom
Using stallion Fearnaught. He is 8 year
old, of q beautiful mahogany bay, with blac
points, and stands about 16 hands. He wa
sired by Canada Black Hawk, he by Rys
dykes Hambletonian, dam Red Bird mar
and she by Ethan Allen. He has bee
tracked two years, getting record of 2:3
which he ought to lower very considerab]
this season.
Another horse in Mr.. Jenne's care
Nigger Baby, coal black gelding, 8yea
old, by Star of the West. He is a sma
horse, but compactly and strongly built, ar
has record of 2:55, but will low
that when occasion offers. He
owned by Mr.. James Anderson, of Mort
field.
Mr.. Jenne also has the bay stallion Dull
five years old, sired by Old Spike, he by
Lawrence. Duke was never tracked befo
this season, but can show mile in 1855, al
is steadily improving. He is owned by N
Elias Stacey, of Northfield.
MIR. r. H. Overpeck is giving four gre
horses little track work, pair of dap]
greys being especially noticeable for th
handsome carriage, and free, open, stro
movement. They have been driven togetl
but few weeks, and have never had wi
can properly be termed track wo
but can do their mile to the p
in $3.50 with no trouble. A small compac
built bay gelding, shows good points, and
developing we'll, his backset being a sp
