to the front it will not be his fault, and as
some OF your numerous readers may want to
know the whereabouts of some of the horses
formerly mentioned in the GLOBE, but now
placed in Mr.. Smiths charge, will mention q
few. First, will commence with Almont Boy,
by Almont, dam equally as well bred, stands
at the head of the stable, and is receiving only
moderate work while doing stud duty, but
will be put in training after July. He Is big
horse for an Almont, q good locker, and is
quite speedy and slayer.
The next pet of the stable is owned by B.
Beaupre, the popular wholesale grocery man
of your city. This colt is only four years
old and has remarkable speed. He has been
christened Frank Beaupre, and stands 15.2
hands; was purchased of Isaac Staples, of
Saltwater, and is1by Guide, and he by Swigert,
Richard Richards stallion, the sire of many
good ones. The dam OF Frank Beaupre is
Mollie Mcclure, by the Mayhall horse. Frank
B. is natural PAGER, and after little handling
PAGES her quarters in 80 and ;38 and under the
to the front. Mr.. Beaupre was so well pleased
with Frank that he purchased through Mr..
Smith a mate to him, one year younger, 8
year old called Sam, a fine chestnut, stands
1879, sired by Pacing A5dallah. He by
Alexander's Abdallah, dam by Miller's Joe
Downing, and he by Alexander's Edwin Forrest,
grand dam by old Wagner, etc., etc. This
colt is now being broken and is also natural
PAGER. He is fine style and gets up in fine
shape, and if H. T. H. measurements amount
to anything he will be fast one. I trust he
may be, for know of no one that can enjoy
good pole team better than Mr.. Beaupre.
Mr.. Beaupre has also placed his trOtting
mare, Lady Logan, record of 2:29, in Mr..
Smiths hands, and she is now being worked
little.
j. G. Meloy, one of the directors OF the
association, has placed his grey mare, "Sadie
Bell" with Mr.. Smith to be driven little.
This mare was sired by Star Chief, the sire of
Col. Broadhead's Honest Minnie. The
dam of Sadie is Eagle Mambrino and he by
Mambrino Chief. This is as good mare for
her age as ever looked through bride, and
is nice pleasant driver. As she is but
years old she will not be worked very much as
Mr.. Meloy is in no haste to have her dev0l.
oped.
D. H. Hersey, of Saltwater, has placed
Sam H., his grey gelding, in Mr.. Smiths
hands. This geldlng,as year old, troted In
$40 and is liable to lower his record
a good many seconds, as he is looking unusu-
ally fine. He was sired by Guide, the sire of
Frank Beaupre, dam Lady Sutton, by Ned Sut-
ton.
E. s. Hersey, also of Saltwater, also has
two colts in training here, and Mr.. Smith is
very well pleased with them. One is bay
gelding, 16.l hands, 4 years old, sired by
Tramp, and he by Cages Logan, etc. The dam
is also finely bred. This colt is a very stylish
fellow, and what some would call a nobby
carriage horse, and as he can show 80 clip is
liable to be good one. The other colt owned
by Mr.. Hersey is years old, a full brother to
the year old, stands now 15.2H, and shows
good for colt just broken.
r ;of f%<l don,
randum belong to Geo. P. Smith, and are four
in number. Commencing with the bay geld
ing Dyer, ID years of age, standing 15.2 hands,
sired by Ethan Allen; can show a fast clip and
is in fine shape, and if person sits behind him
a few minutes he will think he is behind a trot-
ter.
The next is the g. G. Ned Fl. by Bakers Fear
naught, he by old Fearnaught, dam by Orr's
Flying Cloud of Ohio, ETC., etc. This colt is
being broken, and shows up well.
The next one we inspected was the bay mare
Albert, years old, standing 1879 hands. sired
dam by Alesander's' Norman. This mare
is in foal to Almont. She was bred in Ken
lucky by T. c. Jefferson, and although never
trotting in race until last winter on the ice,
which She won handily, she has shown very
speedy mile.
5Mollie Mcclure, standing 15.2, five years
old, sired by Sterling, he by Volunteer, first
dam by General Taylor, second dam by
Tom Hall, PAGER, third dam a thoroughbred.
This mare was also bred in Kentucky and is in
foal to Almont. She shows fast gait, and
will not be bred again, but handled for speed.
j. Rhodes, of Mccormick reaper fame, has
placed his late purchase in Mr.. Smiths string.
A b. N. Z years old standing 15.2, sired by Mil
waukee, he by the Hero of Chester, dam by
Magma Charta, etc., ect. This mare has nev
er been trained but is good smart one.
j. Smith has also placed his mare, Pet, and
black gelding in Mr.Smith's hands, land the boys
must look out, as they are good ones, and On
such track as this with Smith behind them
they will be sure, barring accidents, to i'm
prove.
Here let me say word for this track and
grounds, which ara located on the edge of the
half mile track in the State, grounds and track
finely fenced, stables all new, and ga l"
grounds laid out beautifully. Trees line the
avenues, and the park seeded down. With such
board of energetic managers as they
have, consisting of A. L. Rich, president;
Geo. Bartaras, vice-president, E. H. Whitford,
secretary; Dennis, Follett, treasurer; Executive
board, L. S. Follett, J. G. Meloy, John Rhodes,
j. E. Finch, John Webber, N. F. W. Kranz,
Mr.. Hoffman and j. F. Norrish. Hastings viii
have nice park, nice turnouts and lots of
fun. But Mr.. Editor, do not think that have
mentioned all of the good horses there, for
such is not the case Chas. Lange, Jr., has
Billy Button, b.g., that is proper good and
can show a'2:35 clip, and think has record
in $40. At any rate he is good enough to keep
out of the boys dust. DR.. j. E. Finch handles
the ribbons over pair of fine mares, that can
trot, should judge, together in ESQ. Sam
White also sits behind good rakish looking
bay, and tells the boys not to forget him for
he is coming. Andrew Dunn has a fine horse
that is good one and pulls buggy quite
handily, and might mention host Of Others
had time. Suffice to say that Hastings is
enjoying itself.
In another letter will give you an account
of the breeding farm of L. s. Follet, the popu-
lar banker here, lying only half mile from
the track. NOVICE.
