| HORSE NOTES.
One Of the most stylish horses driven in thi.
city, is that owned by Mr.. Joseph O'Gorman.
He is a gelding three years old last month, anc
sired by De Graft l. Hopkins trotting stallion
Alexander. The dam was a mare quite cele
brated about Rochester for her style and su
perior qualities as a roadster, but her breeding
is unknown to the writer. The colt has much
the appearance of the sire, is dark bav with
dark points, stands about 16 hands, has a per
feet head and neck, trim body and splendid
set of limbs, clean and well muscled, with
tail carried well out from his heels and hangins
to the ground. His carriage is grace itself, will
free any easy movement, characteristic o.
the natural trotter. The colt came int,
his hands from his brother, Father O'Gorman
who has recently joined the Paulist Fathers
and has therefore never been developed 70
speed. If he could be developed, and there il
plenty of time, and entered in the three-year
old colt stake race, there is no doubt he would
lay out some lively work for his competitors.
The little mare Foxie V, owned by Mr.. VIM
81. Veazie, of Marine Falls, Washington county
has been doing some good trotting in Iowa
though she has not yet got down to the fgur
confidently claimed for her by her owner. A
Dubuque. she trotted six heat rae
with Phil Sheridan, Yankee Sam, Amboy
and Dakota Maid, winning tn
heat in 2:30, as fast time as made in the race
! except in the first heat, which was taken b,
Cedar Rapids, the little mare Phil Sherida
and Amboy had to trot eight heats to settle tn
race, Phil. Sheridan taking the first two heats
Foxie the next two, Amboy the next, tn
sixth no heat, Amboy the seventh and Phil
Sheridan the eighth and the race. Time 2:31A
| 1905, 1928, 1907, 2:31, 2:3O, 2:31b.
J. B. Hubbell, Esq, Mankato, has recent
! sent three horses to Hi Adams at Owatonna
to be worked. They are Billy Morgan, br. g
10 years old, record of 2:55; a b. year old b
Wallace, and g year old by the Jones horse
The colts are said to be very promising trotter
