Col. @. w. Griggs has become the owner
of Niger Baby which has been purchased as
mate for Billy Barber. They match we'll
as to size, way of going and speed, and are
without doubt the fastest pole team in the
city at the present time. But surprising Mr..
Overpeck should decide to hitch Alvin B.
and his sorrel together, or Champ Cooks
Little Reub, and Geoge Aliens new purchase
should be put together. Such combinations
would certainly make trouble for Col. Griggs
Fly, the br. FLY in the colt stake race last
season, then the property of Conductor
Messer, has passed into the hands of
Mr.. Currier of Mankato, who is now
developing her muscle by working her mod
erately on the farm. Mr.. Currie will breed
her to Alexander.
Mr.. A. BaxSon, Omaha, the great ranch
man of Nebraska, and the owner of the
trotting stallion Dictator and other
trotting stock, is to send trotting mare,
record 2:3O, to lake Elysian stock farm to be
bred to that celebrated sire of tretters, Alex
ander. Other breeders outside the State
would do well to follow Mr.. Baxton's ex-
ample.
FINE TRoTT1NG STOCK.
Probably no man in the city takes more
pride or pleasure in q fast horse, or is a bet
ter judge of one, than Mr.. George S. Heron.
| IA L.
has always kept good steppers for his pleasure
driving, but now this has ceased to satisfy
him, and he has commenced getting together
stable of trotters. How far he proposes
to go in this direction the GLOBE is not
authorized to speak, but the GLOBE knows
of no one who is so we'll prepared means,
time and inclination-as Mr.. Heron to
gather here stable of trotters of credit to
the city and State, and of profit to himself.
The foregoing remarks were suggested by
the fact that Mr.. Heron has but just re-
| turned from trip to Iowa where he has pur-.
chased eight head of horses, part of whom
were bought with view of developing their
speed and q part for road purposes. The
GLOBE man had look at these horses Satur-
day, and this is what he saw:
First his attention was invited to road
team. They are a black gelding, 6 years
old, sired by Darkness, he by King Herod,
dam a Morgan mare which without any
training could pace in 800 minutes, and o
black mare years old also by Darkness,
dam thoroughbred running mare. They
are as nearly matched as horses can well be-,
even blacks, same shade. tails and names
alike, stand ISL hands high, weigh 1000
machinery. They have never been worked
/ fon hy,t iko
Heron has advertised them for sale in the
GLOBE, there is an opportunity for some one
to become possessed of one of the finest
road TENS in the city, and the State for that
matter.
Another road horse, with trot in him, ad-
vertised for sale in the GLOBE, is Billy, geld
ing, years old. He is bright bay with
black points, a small bit of white on his off
hind foot, by Sawdust, he by American
Clay, dam by Hess Canadian Chief. 4
, handsome and stylish animal.
Previous to MIR. Herron's departure tn
. late lamented Mr.. Lamprey asked him t,
= pick up saddle horse for his use if he coul
find an animal that would suit. Such hors
Mr.. Heron found in dark sorrel, wit
good name and tail and handsome carriag
and cradle movement. He is by Green
Bashaw, dam Morgan mare, and year
old.
Now we strike an animal that will develo
into trotter, or else no reliance can b
: placed on breeding and formations hors
: over which VIM. Veazie of Marine Mill
, will go into exstacies when he sees him
The animal is a grey mare, Cupid, by name
by King H.rod, dam by Rockingham. Ca
}, trot in ESQ to the pole without any training
l and is only 6 years old. She will be give
: a track education, and then look out.
s Another horse for speed development is
. chestnut gelding, with three white feet, sta
l and strip. He is by Black Hawk, dam
f morgan mare, stands. 1873 hands high an
q weighs $50 pounds. He has been name
: Stacey.
d The last of the new purchases, though b
], no means the least valuable, is sorrel horse
j. Frank, bought by Mr.. Heron to mate hi
road mare Monte. After two months trac
y work he showed mile at private trial i
e 1882. Though bought with special referenc
J. to mating Monte for road purposes, it
It more than likely Mr.. Heron will put hil
10 ere long, where his speed can be better d.
g veloped than in drawing him about the cit,
