Breeding Thoronghbreds IN MinneSofG
The GLOBE, in recent issue, announced
the purchase by DR.. w. T.. Mintzer in Ken
lucky, Of several thoroughbred brood mares,
which, with the thoroughbred stallion Mint
zer formerly Garry Owen), were to form
the basis for thoroughbred breeding e.
tablishment in Minnesota. The doctor,
having now arrived home with his purchases,
an extended notice of the animals selected
for this important enterprise, will not be
amiss. They are:
Brown mare fosled in 1870, by imp York
shire; 1st dam by imp Glencoe, I'd by Bos-
ton, Sd by imp Tranby, 4th by Collier, 5th
by BIackburn's Whip, 9th by Bertrand, 7th
by imp Buzzard, 9th by Diomed.
Black mare foaled in 1873 by Enquirer;
LIST dam by imp Yorkshire, I'd by imp Glen
coe, and as above down to 9th dam by imp
Diomed, With the mare was secured bay
sucking filly by Charley Walker, by Emory's
Lexington, LIST dam by Don Juan. I'd by Sir
Leslie, Sd by Trumpeter, 4th by Kosciusko.
Sorrel mare foaled in 1871, by Lee Paul;
1st dam by imp Glencoe, I'd by Modoo, Sd
by Woodford, 4th by imp Buzzard, 9Th by
Messenger. This mare has sorrel horse
sucking colt by her side by I'd Buckden.
Sorrel mare by Pensacola; LIST dam by
Emery's Lexington, I'd by Walkers Grey
Eagle, Sd by Blawerharsett, 4th by Rhodes
Whip, 9th by Blackburn's Whip. Pensacola

coe, I'd by Modoc, Sd by Woodford, 4th by
imported Buford, 5th by Messenger.

Glencoe, Sd by Boston, 4th by imported
Tranby, 9th by Collier, 9Th by Blackburn's
Whip, 7th by Bertrand, 9th by imported
Buzzard, 9th by imported Diamed.
At the same time as the above choice bred
mares were purchased DR.. Mintzer
bought Solace, ch tilly foaled
March %, 1879, by Saun's or, LIST dam Jessa-
mine Porter by imp. Australian, I'd dam
Louisa by imp. Yorkshire, Sd dam Dick
Doty's dam by American Eclipse. Jessa-
mine Porter is half sister to Lady Wallen-
stein, the dam of Wallenstein, sold to p.
Lorillard when two years old for $4,000, and
by him sent to England, where he has
already scored victory.
Of DR.. Mintzer's selection of brood mares
nothing is necessary to be said beyond what
is told by the pedigrees given above. They
tell their own story in unmistakable Ian
guage. To mate with them
the doctor has the sensational
race horse of last year, Mintzer, formerly
Garry Owen) retired from the turf on &C
count of an injury to his foot, received at
Washington late last fall. This injury, as
is now known, was but temporary, and the
horse is to-day, SO far as soundness is con-
cerned, as fit to run for mans life as when
he showed his heels 30 handsomely to his
contestants last year, at Chicago, Baltimore
and Long Branch. But the doctor having
determined to go into the breeding
of thoroughbreds, and thinking he had
made no mistakeI in the selection of his
mares, decided to make sure of his stallion
by retiring Mintzer, who had shown his quail
ity by his performances. Mintzer is by imp.
Knight of st. George out of the oh. m. Greek
by imp. Morgan, I'd dam Mary Hunt by Ber-
trand, etc.
DR.. Mintzer is considered by many as a
ludu VI p0CuIthIltttSs luub, Wu0u uo plChcu
up Mintzer after he had been retired from
the turf, brought him to Minnesota and let
him rough it for couple of years, and
then quietly shipped him to Chicago
to meet the cracks from the Blue
grass region of Kentucky, people
shook their heads and wondered if he had
gone daft. But the result showed that the
doctor knew what he was about. His pres
ent venture of locating breeding estab-
lishment of thoroughbreds in Minnesota,
is generally looked upon with incredulity and
as another evidence of the doctors peculiari-
ties. Especially do the horse men of Ken
lucky scout the idea of first class race horses
being bred and reared here. They say it is
impossible to raise good race horse in the
stable, ana that it is so cold here that stock
must be kept housed for nearly one half of
the year. The doctor thinks he
knows that the Kentuckians and
other scoffers don't know what
they are talking about. At least he proposes
to match his experience and judgment against
theirs, by a thorough and systematic trial.
This trial will not be confined to the horses
above enumerated, but additions will be
made from time to time as he shall see an
opportunity to get such an animal as he
wants, mare or stallion. In the meantime
the GLOBE will watch the Doctors expert
ment with consi derabIe interest, and also
with sincere hope that it may prove sue
cess.
