L, S, FoLLETTS s BREEDING FARM.
The GLOBE is pleased to note the fact that
Mr.. L. s. Follett, of Hastings, is preparing to
take his place in the front rank among the
breeders of Minnesota. Within the past few
weeks we have mentioned several important
additions made to his breeding establishment,
including superior Clydesdale stallion, and
we now have to record another most valu-
able acquisition in the purchase from MIR. 90.
Bradley, of Milwaukee, of the fine'young trot-
ting bred stallion Janesville HambletonIan,
sired by Milwaukee, he by Rysdyk's Ham pie
tonian, LIST dam Brunette by Screggs Medoc,
End dam Jeanette by Winnebago, ,3rd dam Roam
ma by Sir Archy Montorio. .4th dam by Potomac.
He is bright bay with two white feet and
star in forehead, stands 1615 hands, and
weighs about 1, 100 pounds. He has never been
tracked, but is an easy mover, with long open
stride full,of promise for speed when developed,
as he will be in time. Mr.. Fallett IS also en-
gagged in making quite extensive improvements
on his farm, such as erecting new
barns, putting in box stalls OF the
most approved pattern, seeding
to blue grass, ETC., etc. In short G1r. Foilett
is getting thoroughly enthused on the breed
ing question, and, having the required means,
he is determined to make his breeding farm
the equal of any in the State. Messrs. Bar
den, De Graft, Graves, Baker, Post and others
will please take notice that there is another
Richmond in the field.
Red Wing is the home of another stallion OF
the Hambletonian family, Hambletonian
Chief, owned by Cross & Blood. He is reported
to have wiutered finely, and though in the
stud, is being logged regularly by MIR. Cross
and at the close of the season will be prepared
for the fall trotting campaign. His present
record is 2:32, made in the twelfth heat at the
State fair, this city, last year, but il nothing
ha appens him and is given his head this fall
will lower those figures several seconds, 80 the
knowing ones say. Hambletonian Chief is by
Senaca Chief, dam by the Druse horse and he
by old Bolivar. His weight is his present con-
dition is about ], $50 pounds.
Mr.. Cross is also handling bay mare,
years, by Red Wing, that is destined
to make her mark as a trotter.
Mr. L. I'll. Purdy, president OF the Red wing
driving park. owns Carrie T. Can trot her mile

Goo. Spicer, former owner of Tom. Mar

fast and all the time coming.
Mr.. A. Mathews has Pompey, 2:45; and Mr..
D. McCort takes his airings behind ESQ
stopper.
Mr.. F. F. Santory has two well bred fillies,
one by Boylston, he by Rysdyk's Harnbeltonian,
the other by Col. Lang, he by Gen. Knox.
These are but few of the good horses owned
Pod md how 1riu r,arlr aSqOoi-
tion with good track and stabling, it is a lit
tie surprising that a professional driver and
trainer does not see it to his interest to locate
there.
GEO. P. SMITHS STRING.
Being in Lake City the other day, and hay
ing a little leisure, the GLOBE man wandered
out to the driving park where the we'll known
whip, Geo. p. Smith, is now the presiding
genius, ard where he has one of the finest lot
of stations mares AMI troJting horses to
be seen in the State. Naturally the leading
desire with the GLOBE man was to get good
look at the late Almont importation from Ken
tucky, of whom we spoke at length in our last
issue. Having seen him, we have only to say
that he is, so far as looks go, magnificent
81 Lecimen of horse, in every way worthy his
splendid breeding, and that if he don't belle
his looks, he will, both in his produce and track
per formauces, yet shed added lustre to the
name and fame of AlmOnt, his sire. OF the
others shown the GLOBE man, are the fol-
lowing:

wALLENsTEIN AT NEwMARKET."
The merits of Lorillard's colt Wallenstein as
a race horse were most strikingly illustrated by
the two races in which he took part at New
market, Eng, last week. The first event of
the week in which he participated was the New
market Handicap, run Wednesday, which he
won "hands down." beating a field of ten.
Two days later, 81 lbs., 7 lbs. penalty added
for his Wednesday victory, in the Newmarket
International Handicap, he not only failed to
get place, but actually came in last of a field
of twelve horses. In explanation of this poor
performance a cablegram says "Wallenstein
had been off his feet since his Wednesday race"
But this report, if accepted for its full value,
performances are in keeping with his
previous performances, at times showing great
speed, good staying powers and game. and al
