ST. Julien as a Colt.

-
A telegram from Nswburg. N. Y. to the
Sun, says Of 81. Julien, the horse that Ia
said to have equaled the great time OF
Maud SIS mile in 2:l1a. An intimate
friend of Joseph 8. Junning of Denton, this
county, Who raised ST. Julien and his full
brother, St. Reno, and who sold the former
to Jas. Galway, then Of Goshen, for $500.
said yesterday: :att .a4EI azrE saY sr
St. Julien was q natural born trotter !;
spent many aday with Mr.. DunninG and

Driving Park, and beiag handled by the

Billy Seargeant--is likely to be another.
joe Dunuing raised both on his farm be-
tween Denton an Middlston, this county.
There h about ons yssr bean their ages, and
Volunteer ID their father. Both horses
were driven together in . team for long
time doing farm work, road driving and
marketing. They wsre then colts, and joe
DunninG had no idea that hs had such val
uabls trottera. Neither we're nervous to
speak Of. Indeed, and especially st. Julien,
they were ~ docils and quiet - kittens.
One Of the principal features Of the teams
daily work was driving milk to the railroad
station. This Ii how st. Julien was broken
to harness, and II was tho first work he
ever did; In fact, 1t was, ] think, . milk
wagon that he frst hauled along the road
behind him, and, too, when he was but .
colt, Many . time have I driven, tho team
to the station with milk myself, and ST.
Julien never thought Of anything but trot-
He mover showed the least sign of.sk;ttish-
moss, and, what u more never wobbled oil
over the road like colts generally do.s He
trotted square snd level, and always straight
ahead. remember once, when visiting
Joe, We started out to SEQ . friend sever
a miles avay. We drove St. Julien. The
night was frightfully dark, and IL was im-a
possible to see the horse in front Of gus. .
Nov, IT, there had bssa any nervousness
about him, do you suppose we'd started 2
We hadn't the least troubls with him. And

Dunning sold him. aftT The horse was mora
like an old mare--stsady and reliable
than like ; frisky, fretfab un manageable
COLT Nature made Sc. Julien . level hon

for developing the speed that Was In him.
Sargent In ths man. b Every horseman who
saw him trot the irst year he went on the
turf knew this. Why, his performaaoes
that year speak for themselves.d Il Just look
at 1t. 1t was the first time he was ever In
races. He started in tho big circuit under
the guidance Of Sargesnt, Who made far his
owner, Mr.. Galway, ut least $20, ,000 that
year In seven or sight races. kept track
OF the horse aftsr his debut ut Cleveland
until he had trotted six races, and In all
OF them he took first m ,ne7.o ? And mind
you he won them all In three straight heats
and In no race did be mako a skip or
even hitch j Don't that stamp him ~ >
natural born trotter? q Lake .1oidsmilk
Maid, some of the BEST American trottsrs
have made their records by skipping and
hitching, but Sc. Julien never in his life
trotted in any other way than like ma
chine. Mr.. Galway ma ie n fortune out.
