| Mile In @:11 1.-two More Wonders
brought Out by Old Man Harper-M1s-
cellaneous.
Major I. W. Doswelrs bay gelding Bush
whacker, 5-year old. by Bonnie Scotland,
dam Annie Bush, by Lexington, has broken
down and been retired from the turf.
The New York World of the 9TH SAWS
that John Murphy drove Rarus mile on
Mr.. Robert Bcnner's track, near Tarrytown.
on Saturday, in 2:1112. Each of the first
three quarters were trotted in 33 seconds and
the last in 3215 seconds. After this wonder
full performance Mr.. Alley Bonner drove Ed
win Forrest mile in exactly the same time.
| It is again stated the two horses are
| to be driven as team.
The meeting of the Tennessee Blood
Horse association, at Nashville, which closed
with Saturday, is said to have been the most
successful in the quality of the horses partic-
ipating and the patronage of the public, ever
held by the association.
There is prospect of match being made
for large sum, to be trotted for soon over
the track of the Chicago Jockey and Trot-
ting club by Bonesetter and Wedgewood,
the latter the recent purchase of John Splan.
Splan is greatly pleased with his horse,
and believes he will develop into second
Rarus.
Frank Denton proposes to popularize his
SPIRIT Of the 1'uJ; by having it generally
t,xyN oil Ioo
the Northwest, on Saturday, at ten cents
week, selling the papers to the carriers de-
livered at six cents. which leaves them a
clear four cents profit on each paper.
Mr.. j. P. Wiser, OF Prescott, Ont, has
sold the chestnut trotting stallion, Chestnut
Hill. by Strathmore, dam by Bully King,
record of 2:2215, to Mr.. Charles Griswold
of New York.
Maud S., who trotted mile at Lexington
in October, 1873, in 2:171115, and was sold
Immediately after to w. 81. Vanderbilt for
$4,000, has not done we'll since she has
been in the East, and has now been sent
back to Cincinnati, and placed in the
hands of her old trainer, Baird, who was so
successful in developing her speed.
The wonderful little trotter, Mamie B., is
still improving in speed. Mr.. A. A. Bon
ner, whose weight is $50 pounds, recently
drove her mile to wagon in 2:22I. This
is certainly remarkable performance,
when it is recollected that Mamie B. is only
Il hands and 1 inch high. Mr.. Bonner
has also driven the little mare half mile
in 1:O7A, and John Murphy has driven her
mile in 2:1s11s to harness.
IRISH KING AND J1Ls JOHNSON.
Great freaks of fortune seldom strike
thrice in the same place. Last spring, says
the New York Sun, Farmer Harper, of Mid
way, Ky, exhibited with pardonable pride to
one of our correspondents, two bay stations
filled with the fire of Flying Childers.
''There," said he, ''are the only two horses
in this world from one stable that have run
o mile in lao, and that fellow (pointing to
Ten Broeck) did it inside of 1:4O.' The
other horse was Longfellow. Successfully,
within short period of time, they had been
| the wonder that drew applause from the
| quarterstretch. At the late meeting in Louis
vile, the Great American Stallion stake for
three-year olds, one mile and three-quarters,
| was run. Twelve racers, from fifty one nom
nations made by prominent breeders of the
Southwest, faced the judges. Among the
tried ones were Bucktie, Aureolas, and Good
Night. The keen critics of the turf placed
their faith and money on Bucktie and Aure-
olas for the first and second places. Farmer
Harper had two sons of Longfellow in the
| string, Irish King and Jils johnson. Few
saw their "pints''- as the old farmer
calls the running qualities of his colts
and none accorded them place in the
race. A tremendous struggle ensued, and
| there was great CONSERVATION on the quarter
stretch when Irish King bounded under the
wire in the astonishing time of 3:O5I,
| mol tn ffn hoct mil TIL,
son second. Neither Bucktie nor Aureolas
captured place. The farmer had struck
| triple Of victories, either one of which the
careful rich breeders would have given q
kings ransom to have won. Mr.. Harper is
known as careless, easy old man, paying
no attention to theoretical experiments. He
| allows his farm boys to ride his matchless
horses over fields of stumps after The COWS,
and along the dusty roads to the country
store and the postofice. He follows slack
system of training. Still the tickle goddess
perches high on his colors of orange and
red. It is one of the marvels of horse
breeding.
The Louisville race has strange sequel.
1t seems that, although Mr.. Harper entered
both colts in his own name, he had given
Irish King when a yearling to his colored
trainer. The trainer claimed the stakes,
but Mr.. Harper refused to surrender, say
ing that Jils johnson had been pulled in or
der to allow Irish King to win. The trainer
has taken this novel case into court, and
turfmen look for the result with exceeding
interest.
An Example for Republicans Throughout
the State.
Minneapolis Pioneer Press, l2th.]
There are many Republicans in Henne pin county
who approaching the nobeness Of character and the
great service rendered the State by Edmund Rice,
would be glad to testify their personal respect for the
man by giving him complimentary vote.
A Sunday Ride.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Heary Justus
started out for Sunday drive, and starting
partially accomplished it. He went out on
the st. Anthony road to view the prodigal
spread of beauty which nature lays out very
muchly to the acre along that highway. In
