An Additional List Of Purchases Made by
Norman w. Kittson In New York;
saven Head of Royalty Bred Trotting
Mares.
The GLOBE of Monday contained a list OF
five English thoroughbreds, reported by the
New York papers to have been bought at the
public sale of the American exchange, IN tnas
city, and also of three highly bred trottlng
mares, purchased at the Kellogg combination
sale, for Norman W. Kittson, Esq, OF thls
city, the latter being the mares
Astoria, sHebe and Little Ida, from
Robert Bonner's great breeding farm.
Since then a private letter has oeen
received from Mr.. Dan Woodmansee, VINO
did the purchasing for Mr.. Nttson, givingithe
chased for Mr.. Kittson, while the New York
Tribune furnishes the name Of another, bought
from Mr.. Bonner's farm, making ten head OF
trotters, and fifteen head in all purchased.
Below we give the pedigrees and description
of the seven head. It will be seen that the list
embraces the get OF five sons of Hambleton-
ian-two each by Volunteer and peace-
maker, and one by George wilkes,
one By 15s ,.r bv
Norman, sire Of Lulu, 2:15, May Queen, 2:2O,
and other good ones. The dams OF the differ
ent animals are all of well defined trotting
stock, making each animal standard, and the
equal of any ten brood mares to be found IN
any breeding establishment In the country.
Several of the animals, It will also be noticed,
are just the right age to be put upon the
track, and it is not at all improbable MI.
Kittson will decide 50 to do before putting
them to breeding. Following is the list:

citizens to one feature of this new departure
of Mr.. Kittson's, in which all are interested.
It is as to where his breeding establishment
shall be located. AS before stated he has
been negotiating for the st. Paul Driving
