Col. @. w. Griggs has become the owner
of Niger Baby which has been purchased ss
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 supposing 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 tho 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. Baxton, 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 trstters, Alex

Probably no man in the city takes more
pride or pleasure in fast, horse, or is bet
ter judge of one, than Mr.. George s. Heron.
Mr.. Heron since his residence in st: Paul
has always kept good shoppers 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 well 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 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 black gelding, 6 years
old, sired by Darkness, he by King Herod,
dam Morgan mare which without any
training could pace in 800 minutes, and q
black mare 5 years old also by Darkness,
dam a thoroughbred running mare. They
are as nearly matched as horses can well be,
even blacks, same shade, tails and names
alike, stand 1871 hands high, weigh i 900
i pounds, and trot together like piece of
machinery. They have never been worked
any for speed, but its in them, and as Mr..
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.

vertised for sale in the GLOBE, is Billy, geld.

handsome and stylish animal.
Previous to Mr.. Herron's departure tn
late lamented Mr.. Lamprey asked him t,
pick up saddle horse for his use if he coul
find ar animal that would suit. Such q hors
Mr.. Heron found in dark sorrel, wit
good name and tail and handsome earring
and cradle movement. He is by Green
Bashaw, dam Morgan mare, and year
old.
Now we strike an animal that will develo

placed on breeding and formations hors

Another horse for speed development is

road mare Monte. After two months trac

The GLOBE last week mentioned the fa'
that DR.. Mintzer was training two of h
