MIR. HARRIS MARE ''souEMR.''
The GLOBE has heretofore mentioned the pur-
chase in Kentucky, by Mr.. Phillip Harris, land
commissioner of the st. Paul & Duluth railroad,
| OF line gentleman's driving and riding mare.
The mare, though beauty, bears the very awk-
ward name of "Squeme." But then what's in
name, rose by any other name," etc. She
is chestnut sorrel, l51< hands high, with an
intelligent, bony, clean cut and blood-like
head; prominent hazel eyes; sharp, sensitive
ear; shapely neck with plenty Of breathing
room, running back into deep broad shoulders
| from which projects strong muscular fore
arms, short, strong back; large, round barrel
coupled to perfect shaped and strongly formed
muscular legs. Add to the above description
| small white snip in the forehead three white
feet, one forward and two behind, and one
has fair idea of the outward appearance of
| the animal, though connoisseur would see
many other points to admire. In fact.
'squeme' is choice bit of horse flesh, or no
reliance can be placed on build and blood on
| an animal that would attract the attention of
| thorough horseman in any company. As before
| stated she is a combined horse, thoroughly
broken to saddle, where she is at home in any
! gait as well az to harness. In the latter role,
Judging by appearance and breeding solely,
MIR. Harris when behind ought not to be
obliged to take the dust from few horses and
the reporter doubts if he will.
GRAVES BROS.
The Messrs. Graves Bros, of Rochester, are
doing good work in the improvement Of stock
| in that section of the State. At the head of
their stud stands the bright bay stallion, black

other enterprising breeders in Rochester and
vicinity, all of whom the GLOBE will endeayor
to mention, in time.
wINNEBAGo CITY AS A STOCK MARKET
The rapid development of stock breeding in
this State, is one of the most gratifying fea-
lures connected with its present growth and
prosperity. In this development, no section
has shared better than southwestern Minnesota,
where owing to the devastations of the grass
hopDera, the people were, as may be said.
| forced to turn their attention tempo
rarily, to something not subject to grasshopper
maws. Speaking of the matter the Winnebago
City Press says:
Two years ago about seventy car loads were
shipped from this point, and the business has
| so increased that during tho past shipping sea-
son, commencing with September last and viz
tually closing with March, one hundred and
| twenty three car loads were shipped from the
yards here by the different dealers.
A NEW CIRCUIT.
A new trotting circuit has been formed in
the West, embracing Minneapolis, Kansas City,
and Dubuque. The Kansas City Times says:
On Monday last committee of the Kansas
City exposition, consisting of M. j. Payne, J.
L. Barnes and D. L. Hall left Kansas City for
St. Louis, to meet with the representatives of
| other Western associations for the purpose of
forming full racing circuit that should be
able to compete on equal terms with the East
ern circuits by Offering equally liberal purses
and inducements. After full consultation
with the representatives of Minneapolis, Du-
buque and st. Louis tracks, a circuit was
formed, to be called the "Great Western" cir
cult, each association to offer from 81, 500 to
SIC, 600 in premiums, and to claim the follow
ing dates:
Minneapolis Mimi, Sept. tot.
Dubuque Iowa, Sept. 9 to 10.
Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 16 to 81.
St. Louis, Mo-, Sept % to %.
Arrangements are fully concluded as far as
the hrst three named points are concerned, and
the ST. Louis association will make definite
conclusion in the matter during tho week.
Full arrangements are being made for the cheap
and rapid transportation of horsemen from
point to point, and everything bids fair for
big success.
TEN BROCK AND MOLLIE MCCARTHY.
There have been SO many rumors concerning
the condition of Ten Brock that reporter of
the Co,srier-J Journal boarded the morning train
and proceeded to Woodfork to witness his king
ship, and found him looking grander than ever
before. and ready to throw down the gauntlet
to one and all of the racing tribe. He has
and be never looked better. On the other
hand, the tough Mollie is reported as never in
better Tx, and ready to run for a mans life.
Mr. Winters, we also hear, has wonderful
ree-year-old that he contemplates bringing
with the mare to test the speed of the Ken
lucky cracks, and to train with the mare; and
as the club has concluded to have three
days meeting with stakes, etc., it is hoped he
will be entered and tried with Kentucky Young
STEERS. Large crowds from Detroit, Chicago and
st. Louis, San Francisco, Cincinnati and other
points are already arranging for excursion
trains, and Louisville will be full to over
flowing.
Jacob Picus, for many years the successful
trainer of A. Belmont's racing horse "a position
which he resigned last fall, has been engaged
IN similar capacity by Pierre Lorillard for
nj his Rancocus establishment. He succeeds
William Brown, who goes to England in the
fall with Mr.. Lorrillards thoroughbreds.
