FINE BROOD MARES.

FINE BROOD MARES.
The G1oBe has already mentioned the return,
from Kentucky, of Geo. P. Smith, OF Lake
CITY, with a number of trotting, and TWO thor-
oughbred horses. With his horses Mr. Smitn
brouoht to St. Paul two highly bred brood
mares recently purchased by MIR. Z. A. De-
Graft in kentucky, to add to the harem OF the
splendid trotting stallion Alexander, who
stands at the head of the Lake Elysian stock
farm. The new purchases are Sentinel Ma'o
and Miss Hayes.
Sentinel Maid is bay mare by Sentinel
LIST dam by Zenith, End dam by American
Eclipse, Sd dam by Cherokee, and Atm by
Americus. Sentinel sire of Sentinel MAID, Is
nv Rysdyk's Hambletonian and has to his credit
seven of his get with records of 2SO or better as
follows: Annette, b. m. years, 2:2512, Capoul,
h. h. 5 wears, 2:2S, Mignon, b. m. . years, 2:5O,
ia. b. @. 1926, Vivandiere, br. m. Zi2o7a' Won
Arnim, b. h. years, 2:22, Young Sentinel, D..
b. 2:26. The aggregate OF heats trotteo oy
within the $50 limit was thirty-two of which
ten stand to the credit 90. OF
Young Sentinel. Sentinels record is 2:29al.
Miss HAYES is brown mare by Ericsson, he
by Mambriuo Chief, lst dam by Tramiy' and
I'd by Grey Eagle. Ericsson has four OF his repre-
sentatives in the 2:30 and better ilss %hile ms
sire Mambrino Chief has six, including the
lannon's mare Lady Thorne, 2:lS14, and Wood
ford Mambrino, 2:2l
II will thus be seen that Mr.. DE Graft has
made in the purchase of these two mares most
decided acquisitions to the trottlng interests
of his Lake Eysian breeding iarm. ouI
Miss HAYES possesses possible value lar pc
yond her own excellent preeolhs IN .na' ~ ~
is in foal to Strathmore, the sire OF TWO OF the
sensational trotters of the day, StelnWay, b. G..
who has a 3-year old record of 2:25$l, and the
wonderful Swear old b. h., with Il heats IN
2:3O or better. and a record OF 2:lo. Anotner
of Strathmores get is Chestnut Hill, b. h.,
with a record of 2:22199, and 10 heats IN 2:3o or
better. Strathmore is son OF tnat
,ino of trott1ng sires Rysdyk's Handle
tonian. The foal of such a mare by such a
sire should be valuable animal. Ii u colt
Mr. DeGraff may perhaps be induced to part
with it, but if a FLY it will undoubtedly be re-
tanned at Lake Elysian to be bred eventually to
Alexander.
SPLENDID ACQUISITION.
In the issue of the GLOBE of Monday last we
mentioned the fact that Messrs. Simonds y
Clough, of Rochester. had become the owner OF
the harness and sweepstakes stallion winner
Allie Gaines. We find the following notice OF
Allie Gaines in the Kentucky Lire Stock LffcoFi

Rysdyks Hambletonian, Mambllno Chief ana

sires of trotters and has sired thirty nine win
ners of public races, and nine of his get have
made public records in 2:30 and under.
Allie Gaines was exhibited at fairs from n
colt to years old, and was successful every

n Y, has a record of 2:3314 at four years old,
and Almont, Jr., was driven half mile last
fall, after a season in the stud, in l:lU12. he
is very stylish and handsome young horse, by
a trotting sire, and out of a mare that has pro-
duced trotters, and few better looking or more
promising young horses have left the State IN
long time.
VALUABLE INNOVATIONS.
A private note from Owatonna informs us
that Mr.. G. A. baltimore, veterinary surgeon
at that point, has but recently arrived home
with Clyde stallion and four-year old Clyde
mare with four straight crosses, weighing, In
good condition, 1000 pounds, and two
thoroughbred tillies from the best stock In
Canada 1t is claimed by those who have seen
the stallion and the mare that their equals are
not to be found in the Northwest.
MISCELLANEOUS.
W. Fl. Wilson, of Abdallah Park, Cynthiana
Ky. has sold the gray gelding Dick Taylor le-
cord 2:2i14. to an Eastern party for SO, OCO.
Dnnton in his late issue of his SPIRIT o. ne
Turf, furnishes valuable addition to the
trotting statistics of the country, by giving a
carefully compiled table of alhstalions who
have trotted in 80 or better, with the name OF
their SIRE grand sire and sire of dam. The
number of stations named ID l55. The MIN
nesota stations in the list are Alexander, Star
of the West, Selkirk, Skinkles, Hambletonlan
Draco Prince and Fearnaught.
Mr.. Joe Udell, owner of the pacing wonder,
Sleepy Tom, record 2:1214, offers through Dun
toms Spirit ot'the Times to match st. Julien
the trotter, 2:l234, for q series of races, three
in five. the coming summer, for large amounts
Small pox has broken out among the horses
in the vicinity of Montreal, and it has spread
considerably 1t is not fatal but is a cutan-
eous disease often taken for scratchts, and rem
ders animals unfit for duty. 1t Is easily COM
municated to men, but never with more dis
astrous effect than is experienced from or
binary vaccinaii N with COW virus.
The Oshkosh Times is authority for the fol-
lowing: "a little incident occurred on Ago
ma street last Sunday, which might not happen
again in a thousand years. M. h. Eaton and
Z. 81. Hough were out on that thorOughfare ex-
ercising their fast nags, and coming down on
pretty brisk trot, both horses simultaneously
cast shoe which on flying from their hoofs
met and struck in mid air, falling to the
ground hooked together"
Dunton's Spirit of the Turf: Mr.. Thomas
Schneider from one of the Oldest as we'll as
the most noted families of horsemen in New
York, is now located in Lake City, Mimi. Mr..
Schneider has been spending about twelve
years handling colts and aged trotters in the
Blue Grass country. Thus his experience in
Kentucky, added to his inherited fitness for
making trotters, makes Mr.. Schneider great
acquisition to Mr.. Geo. P. Smiths training
stables at Lake City.
