Red Hing Horses.

We are indebted to friend at Red Wing for
| letter on horse matters, from which We take
the following for publication:
| Speaking of the purse and stake races Offer
ed by the State Agricultural society, he says:
'The idea of encouraging State horses is right;
also breeders, but would offer colt stakes,
say up to five years old, and let all come in.
There are very few colts IN training, bred in or
| out of the State, and none too many to fill the
| races, and have good contests. It Is enough
| that horses are owned in the State, say August
| 1850. 1t is the peoplethat must be satisfied,
and they want good fields of horses"
Passing to home horse matters, our friend
says: MIR. H. Y. Brothers, from Kansas
| City, has leased our track, and has now in
training gray FLY that he brought here with
him, that has a fine way of going-moves up
the stretch at $40 gait. He has, besides, a
| association. He is good green one, 16 hands,
and can trot in about $50 now. Mac, b. g., a
PAGER that Mr.. Nelson, Zone Of our thorough
breds,) thinks can show $40 soon. Our presl-
dent, Mr.. Leeback, is represented by New
Berlin Girl, g. M, that is credited with $40.
MIR. 81. E. Perkins has b. c., Bashaw, and
a good green one. These comprise Mr.. Broth
ers' string now, with prospect of more soon.
"Mr. A. A. Mathews has Frank Hull, grey
gelding that made a record last fall
of 1861. "Look Out" oh. G., begins to
look like a trotter; can now trot in
$40 for money. w. F. Cross owns Handle
tonian Chief, b. s., the winner of the State
stallion purse for Minnesota stations in 1879
and 1880, after making full season each year,
trotting in 2:32. He weighs 1850 pounds this
spring, and never looked better. He is doing
stud service now; can show the handsomest
weanling ever shown. Waterville, bred in
Kentucky, 9 years old, II hands, can trot in a
2:20 clip, but is unsteady. When he settles,
watch him come down the stretch as fast as
Maud or st. Julien. He can do it, and don't
you forget it. The best one is Monroe Chief,
Jr., 16H hands, years old, beautiful bay
gelding that trots like his sire already, and is
sure to trot fast if his owner can wait for him
to develop; can trot now $40 clip. Mr.. Olin
half mile in liz. Mr.. F. F. Linborg has
lately bought from DR.. Calkins, of Kansas City,
a bay geldlng 6 years old, sired by Nicotine,
by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, that trotted
The Kansas City track last fall in 2:48. He
vas sold to Mr.. Linborg for a family horse,
sound and kind, and good round price paid
for him. There are several other good STEP
pers here, that are net tracked at all yet, and
DR.. Baird has the mare Eclipse. There is horse
here that we begin to think is a dark one. He
has been owned here about year, and his
owner drives him occasionally on the track.
He commenced winning bets with him
against time, drps several seconds every
time, and seems able to place him every time
and win the money. Mr.. A c. Richter, his
owner, has never been considere much of
horse man, but he has played it fine with
the boys SO far, and they are getting shy
of him. We expect good deal of speed and
lots of fun this summer. Shall probably have
a July meeting. We have wide-awake associ-
alton, differed as follows: A. Setback, presi-
dent: P. Nelson, vice PRECEDENT; E. J. Blood,
secretary; S. j. Willard, treasurer; A. Setback,
S. j. Willard, A. H. Boxrud, P. Nelson, s. H.
Purdy, W. F. Cross. E.. j Blood, E. Olund, II.
L. Perkins, directors.
