GOOD MOUNTS.

Valuable Thoroughbred Additions to the
Stud of the st. Paul Hunt-New Candi-
date for Public Favor as Breeder of
Trottipg observation-disclosures.
GOOD MOUNTS.
The GLOBE yesterday morning announced
tie return home after quite an extended visit
in the east, of Mr.. s. G. Cook. As is we'll
known here, Mr.. Cook is one of the organ
izers and most enthusiastic supporters of the
st. Paul hunt, familiarly called the "Bold
Riders" of st. Paul. Naturally, therefore,
good mount is his pride. For several
months past he has had eye on Thornton
Moore, in the racing string belonging to
Hon. Isaac Staples, of Saltwater. During
Mr.. Cooks absence, his father secured the
animal, and when he returned Saturday and
paid visit to his stable, he was greatly snr-
prised and pleased to find Thornton Moore
contentedly munching his feed in the par
ticular stall set apart for his favorite.
Thorton Moore was foaled in 1876. He is
by Tom Bowling, a worthy son of that prince
of thoroughbred sires, Lexington. His first
dam is by imp. Knight of st. George; second
by Montague's Sovereign. He is a bright
chestnut, about 1874 hands, fine head, neck
and body, and as good set of legs and
feet under him as could be desired-in fact
worthy representative of his choice breeding.
As two-year old, he started in the Planters
stake at st. Louis, the Lexington colt stakes
and the Louisville Alexander stakes, and
though failing to got place, he was we'll to
the front in each, with many first class colts
behind him. Later in the season, Sept. 2.
at the State fair, he won the half-mile dash
over several competitors in 1:20I, and on
July of last year over the same course, he
won the Gentleman's Cup, mile dash. with
ease.
Now that he has come into Mr.. Cooks
possession he will be withdrawn from the
turf and used exclusively to follow the
hounds and general riding purposes.
In stall adjoining that occupied by
Thornton Moore, is the chestnut mare, Ada
S., owned by Mr.. N. McAffee, also member
of the Hunt. Ada S. is four years old. She
was bred by A. j. Alexander of Woodburn
Farm, KY, was sired by the renowned race
horse Asteroid, son of the great Lexington,
dam Jennie by imp. The Knight of St.
George. The family is one of the most dis
tinguished within the covers of the Stud
Book, and daintier piece of horse flesh
never carried the pig skin.
The other members of the Hunt are Sc
suring fresh mounts for the coming
summer, but unless they are extra fortu-
nate in their purchases the end of the runs
that will be had will find either Cook or
McAffee, or both, in the lead.
GOOD BEGINNING.
Among the Minnesotians who will be re-
membered in the future with gratitude for
their efforts to improve the stock of the
State, will be w. L. McGrath, the Third
street tailor, who is gradually bnilding up
quite a breeding farm some three miles
north of the city. Among the animals Sc
lected and bred by Mr.. McGrath are the fol-
