SALTWATER HORSES.
A Saltwater correspondent furnished the
following communication to Dunt0n's Spirit
ofhe Turf:
Editor of Dunton's Spirit of the Turf:
Saltwater is getting pretty lively OF late in
the horse line between some of our promin-
emit merchants, and especially between Mr..
Abe Rohrbach and Dave Robinson. They
have horses very evenly matched, and in the
afternoon they afford the public great deal
of amusement, to tighten up the gloom
(as it were).
Mr.. Rohrbach is the owner of the 6 6
Larry, nine years old, sired by a HANDLE
tonian horse; dam by Bashaw mare, and Is
very speedy. Mr.. Robinson is the owner of
the & Ingomar, pedigree unknown. We
have mile track on the ice, and have q
good many horses that can three minutes
look sick. Among the most prominent own
ers are J. N. Castle, Isaac Staples, D. II. &
E. L. Hersey. G. A. Bromley, Jud Orf, Abe
Rohrbach, Dave Robinson, Matt. Clark,
Webb McKusick, Capt. Staples, Capt. Pevy,
and quite number of others; but MIR. Rohr-
bach takes the laurels.
Mr.. Staples has sold to DR.. French, of
Minneapolis, the b Sam Staples, years
old by Guide; dam Green Mountain Nor
gan mare. The Doctor has got good one,
and those Minneapolis boys had better not
blow too much on the ESQ horses.
DR.. Mintzer, the owner of Mintzer, was
III town looking over Mr.. Staples stable of
runners with a view of buying. The Doctor
has lately added Dave Moore to his stables,
and with such horses as Florence Payne,
Gov. Neptune and Athelstane added to
what he has got would give him one of the
best stables in the North and West. MIR.
Staples declines to sell one unless he sells
them all. His running stable is now COM
posed of Florence Payne, Lucy
Morrison, Gov. Neptune, Lady Edith, Athel-
stane, D'Artagnon, Lucy Lee and the 2-year
old colt Miss Ricely, sired by Col. Ricely,
dam Kitty Fitz. Every horseman that has
seen this colt says she is agood one.
Mr.. Staples also has some nice trotters for
sale. At the top of the ladder is Kitty Cook,
record 2:26.
Mr.. w. 81. Veasie, of Marine, has COM
menced to work his horses little, and Mr..
Piper will be down to Saltwater soon and
clean the boys out. He was down New Years
with three horses, but only trotted one, on
account of there not being any fast enough
to trot the other two with.
Mr.. D. w. McKusick has lately added to
his livery stock very fine gray gelding,
years old, no name, and is nice hardy
stopper. Yours, etc., "GAB."
RARUs AND ST. JULIEN.
Dunton's Spirit Of the Turf is decidedly
opposed to the GROWING of st. Julien King
of the Turf for his 2:12a exhibition per-
Torrance. It says: "That st. Julien is
fast, we do not question, but that he can trot
as fast mile as Rarus, we shall not believe
until he can trot as Rarus has done, for in

When st. Julien can trot from June to jan
uary like the above, then we may join 'poor
old Joe," in what now seems unwaranted
praise of the California cruz 1pathematico,un,.
MINNESOTA TO THE FRONT.
Minnesota, through the efforts of few
enterprising breeders, is becoming known
abroad as stock State. Saturday MIR. R.
Barden received letter from a gentleman of
New York city desiring him to put cash
price upon three of his brood mares at Bar
den-Barden. The letter described the ami
| mails desired as ebay mare by Goldsmith's
| Abdallah, foaled 1869; bay mare by Swigert,
| dam by son of Mambrino Chief, foaled in
1875, and black mare foaled in 1873, by Swi-
| CERT" The mares alluded to ara Topsy, Bay
| Nellie and Favorite, the choicest of the mat
| rons gathered together by Mr.. Barden, and
| as fine q trio as can be found on any stock
farm in this country; and if they change own
ership, it is safe to say it will be at good
round figure.
SUCCESSFUL DRIVERS.
| Dan. Mace leads the list of drivers intro
ducing horses to the public which have made
records of 1925 or better, who has total of
twenty-one head to his credit, including
Hopeful, Darby and Prospero, as the stars.
Next comes Charles s. Green with sixteen,
among whom are Lula, Lucille Golddust,
Red Cloud, Great Eastern, Dame Trot, and
others of note. Third in the list stands
Budd Doble, who has eleven flyers to his
credit, with the world famous Goldsmith
Maid at the head, followed by Gloster, Dex-
ter, Judge Fullerton, ct al. John Splan has
brought out ton, but his reputation in
connection with the many triumphs
of Rarus, places all other of his successes
so far in the shade, as to render further de-
tails uninteresting. After Splan comes John
Murphy with 7, GA. Hickok 6, ]. b. Gold
