were raised and trained by the Winslow broth

HORSE RAISING IN MINNESOTA.
The following good words for Minneso-
tians as class, and the breeding interests of
the State, is from Dunton's SPIRIT Of The
TuaJ:
There is an indescribable pleasure in travel
ing through Minnesota, either on business or
pleasure. The people of that State seem as
different from the people in the States from
which they emigrated as it is possible to become
in short period. They are more like the old
time Southern planter than the hard-fsted
Yankee. More of the millionaire than the mill
er; more of the gentleman than countryman;
more like a Chicagoan than backwoodsman.
Where and however you find a Minnesotian, he
never forgets that he is gentleman. But
Minnesota is like the Southern States in their
days of great wealth in more ways than one.
Her acres are equally broad and productive,
while horses, oxen and mules take the place of
/ slave labor of the South. Thus the great land
| owners of Minnesota, Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas have fallen into the positions one oc-
| cupied by the great plantation owners Of the
South, and are growing rich from the labor Of
| horses the Southerner did from that of the
colored man.
| Thousands of gentlemen of wealth and in
fluence now cultivate the soil of the great
West, and gallop over their broad fields on
horseback, proudly watching the ripening
wheat ears,as the Southern planter used towatch
his crop of hemp, rice, sugar-cane or tobacco.
Thus the people of the great West are rapidly
learning the ways and forming the habits of
the 'solid South" When men become wealthy
they ought, and doubtless do, become more
liberal. AS they become rich they also become
buyers breeders of fine horses.
Hence, we not only see a marked
improvement in Minnesota in this respect, but
expect to see greater improvement in years to
come. And what the bluegrass counties are
to Kentucky, in the breeding of fine horses,
these States will be to the world in the near
future. We do not care to enlarge upon this
proposition, but simply throw it out to the
great multitude of newspaper writers as a
butcher throws piece of meat to pack of hun
cry dogs who stand about his. shop for bone
to pick. The soil, water, climate all consplre
together to bring about such result

The easy victory of Parole in the New

the London Sportsman that Englishmel
must look out for their laurels. While thi
state of things is exceedingly gratifying t.
Americans, it adds to the general regre
that Magenta, the flower of the Lorillar
stable in England, is suffering from tn
change of climate, and that it is doubtful
he will be in condition to bear the America
