HORSE NOTES.

The Stallion Fearnaught Changes Hands,
Increased Inquiry for Fine Roadsters-
Some of the Noted Animals to be Found
at Lake Elysian Stock Farm-TIyers at
Owat0nna-Brief Mentions.
One of the best indications of reviving
business and returning prosperity, is found
in the increased inquiry for igh-priced
roadsters horses of the most fashionable
breeding, good size and carriage, and which
can step off the miles drawing two persons
in a top buggy at three minute gate or
better. Two or three such horses have been
purchased by St. Paul parties in the last few
weeks, and several other parties are looking
about With the intention of purchasing
whenever they find the horse with the re-
quirements desired.
Mr.. George n. Allen, of the Merchants,
has just perfected negotiations for hand
some driving horse, which is reported to
cover his mile very easily in 800 minutes.
His especial recommendation to George is his
docile temper and level head, qualities that
make him pleasant and safe animal for
Mrs. Allen to drive.
MIR. st. German has sold his stallion
Fearnaught, record 1923, to John B. St.
Aubin, who has placed the horse in the
hands of Mr.. Ben. Woodmansee, of the St.
Paul Driving Park, who will handle him this
season. Ben. says he has wintered finely,
and intimates that horses in his class getting
to the wire first this season will be COM
PEELED to mark figure considerably below
the 2:29 with which he is credited.
Minneapolis scribler signing himself
"Minneapolitan," continues to send to The
SPIRIT Of the Times, New York, lying letters
with reference to the recent fair negotiations
between ST. Paul and Minneapolis, in which
OF course st. Paul is made to appear all in
the wrong. AS MIR. VIM. 8. King has de-
MED all responsibility or knowledge of these
lying etfuslons, they become of no conse-
quence except, perhaps, as it concerns the
Spsr5t itself, which would undoubtedly be
improved by leaving the space occupied by
them blank or filling it with news such as
"Phil Scudder" occasionally sends from
the same place. which always adds to the
interest of the SPIRIT in this locality.
