steady stream Of sightscers poured into
the fair grounds yesterday but tho principal
buildings being closed they were compelled TO
content themselves with inspecting tho trot'
| tcrs in the stables. OF course St. Julieu's re-
trolt was the principal attraction, and rs II
was open all day a fine opportunity was aI-
| iorded those who wished to sec the king of the
turf His grooms James Green and William
| Ficldwick, were very attentive aud seemed
never to tire in sounding the praises and
| points OF their charge. 1t was noticeable that
/ st. Julien was fond OF ladies and gentlemen,
allowing himself to be petted by thcm,
| but upon the approach OF children he
| would lay back his ears and manifest
! his disapproval In an unmistakablo manner
He is in stable "O,' at tho southwest corner
OF the grounds, and is as carefully looked attoi
as ii he were AN infant. His grooms sleep al
| his head every night and he is never left alone
| Tor an instant. All around the stable are hunG
blankets, boots, bottles and the usual appur
tenanccs of crack trotter. One of tho blau
kots, OF anb's WOOL suitably inscribed ant
decorated with satin bows, was presented tC
him at Minneapolis, Mimi, where he loweret
the record TO 2:l3. He is exercised ever,
morning between aud 10 o'clock by hi
owner, Mr.. o. A. Hickok, being spccded arount
the track at Il pretty quick gait. His foot
each day is twelve quarts of oats and twice
} week bran made into a hot mash is given him
st. Julien is a handsome buy with blacI
points, white hind ankles, and a coat whic
can only bo compared to satin. He Is oleyc
years old and represented by his grooms u
being very tractable and seeming to under
stand everything said to him. They in
diguautly scout the idea of his ever haviu
been driven in milk wagon, and claim fc
him pedigree dating back to the first hors
in tho ark.
