The Ne,c Arrirals at KittsondaIe.
AS per announcement IN the GLOBE yester-
day morning, twenty head of high bred trot-
ters and thoroughbreds, part of the pur-
chases made by Mr.. N. W. Kittson, during
his visit to the noted breeding farms of Ken
tucky and Tennessee, for three weeks past, ar
rived at little before O'Clock yesterday
morning, and are now safely domclled at the
Driving Park, or Kittsondale. Owing TO the
interruption in moving trains in and out of
Chicago, caused by the strike of train men,
| that city was avoided, by divergence to the
South into Iowa, and thence by the Ottumwa
route. Arriving here the three cars contain
ing the stock were transferred to the Union
stock yards, shortN distance be-
yond Kittsondale, where thy were
unloaded. 1t q is gratifying to state
that close inspection of the different ami
mails after reaching their quarters, disclosed
the fact that all had come through without
meeting with the slightest accident, condi-
ton largely due to the careful precautions
taken by Mr.. D. W. Woodmansee, Mr.. Kilt
sons confidential adviser IN all his purchases,
SO far, and the careful attention of Mr.. 7. w.
Hoffman and his assistants, accompanying the
animals in transit from Cynthiana, KY. -
Beside the twenty head which arrived yes
terday, Mr.. Kittson purchased in Kentucky
five brood mares, with young foals, or about
| to foal, that were left behind for future ship
ment x ---,----

suffice it at this time that they are everyway
worthy companions of the high bred animals

recent Kellogg combination sale.
MANAGEMENT OF KITTsoN DALE.
| Knowing the general interest felt by the
horse men of the city, as to just how Mr.. Kilt
son proposed to conduct the Driving Park
| property, or Kittsondale, a GLOBE reporter
sought out that gentleman soon after his re-
| turn from seing his stock safely landed and
cared for. Mr.. Kittson was found busily en-
gagged looking ever business correspondence
which had accumulated during his absence,
but courteously placed himself at the mercy
| of the interviewer
| atories propounded to him, that he had
made his recent extensive purchases of trot-
| ting and thoroughbred stock, and also of the
Driving Park property, with view of estab-
fishing here at St. Paul as large and
complete a breeding establishment as
was to be found in America, not
only in the quality of his stock, but in the
general surroundings OF his breeding farm. 1t
was his purpose, he said, to remove all the
| stock buildings, now on the property, and re-
| place them with substantial brick and stone
structures, built after the latest aud most i'm
proved models for securing the comfort and
health of his stock, For this purpose an archi-
| tect had already been secured, who would visit
| the most noted breeding farms in the country,
| while it was probable he himself would visit
Col. Russell's establishment near Boston,
Mass, (that gentleman having sent him an in.
vitation to do SOY the home of Smuggler, the
king of trottlng sires s-pronounced to be the
most complete and best arranged "home for
| the horse'' in America, with view of embody-
| ing in his building, the best points of all.
He also intended, he said, to build at some
slightly spot on the grounds handsome club
house, for the convenience of the gentlemen
of the city and their friends, with the usual
track privileges for afternoon driving, friendly
contests of speed, etc, upon similar plan to
that adopted at Fleetwood park, New York;
Belmont park, Philadelphia, and other similar
resorts for gentlemen horsemen in the
country.
"Wiil these plans, Mr.. Kittson, shut the
professional drivers of the city off from use of
your track?"
"Oh, no; there is nothing selfish about me
in this matter Of course, with the large num-
ber of horses am getting together, the use of
the track by outsiders will have to be limited,
but until some other track accommodations
are provided for, 1 shall endeavor
to give drivers desiring an op-
portunity to work their horses, but
just what arrangements can be made cannot
say until after consulting with Mr.. Woodman

.'From the breeding and performances of
some of your purchases one would think you
intended to be represented on the turf as well
as in breeding?"

elbow about Won Arnim?''
tOh, he will remain in the stud. His track
performances stamp him as one of the fastest
stations in America. You know he crowded
Trinket out in 2:19sl, and made a record of
2:22 in his five year old form, and was in
formed by number of gentlemen, after had
completed his purchase, that in these races,
and all others in which he has been engaged
he was in poor condition and badly handled
