Commodore Ktttson to the Front Again.
Wednesday, the 18th, Commodore n. w.
Kittson, left st. Paul in company with Dan
Woodansee, as he reported, to visit Ken
lucky and Tennessee for the purchase of high
bred trotting and thoroughbred stock for the
breeding farm and racing stables he is engaged
in establishing here The first heard of Mr..
Kittson after leaving here was in New York
city, where he purchased the following thor
oughbred stock lately imported from Eng
land:
Dalnacardock, Is years, bay stallion, by
Rataplan (Son Of The Baron and Pocahontas,
by Glencoe out of Mayonaise, by Teddington,
grandam Picnic, by Glaucus. Daln a.
cardock, i'll his day, was good run.
ner. and is described as having big,
broad, long quarters and great stiles; stands
high behind, and is a long, powerful horse,
about 1873 hands.
Victoria, b. N. s years, by King victor,
dam Gold Pen, by Beadsman, with colt by
her side by soapstone.
The animals were purchased through the
American Turf Exchange, Mr.. Kittson paying
$1,000. Dalnacardock was in the latest lot
sent over from England. Victoria was sent
over something over month ago, and was
bought in by VIM. H. Vanderbilt, being his
c1.o hop
were shipped from New York for st. Paul
week ago tonight in charge of Mr.. Davis,
who accompanied Dalnacardock across the
ocean, and who it is understood is to remain
in Mr.. Kittson's employ to look out for
his thoroughbred stock. The horses should
reach here tomorrow or next day.
After making the above purchases Mr.. Kit
tson went to Kentucky, and the next we hear
of him is through the following brief tele-
gram in the GLOBE Of yesterday:
'Isaac Van Meter, of Lexington, to-day sold
the well known trottng stallion Won Arnlm
to Commodore Kittson, of st. Paul, price
$4,000. Won Arnim is seven years old, and
has record of 222."
Since Mr.. Kittson started in to establish
here in st. Paul a breeding establishment, in
the quality OF his stock as shown by their
breeding and public performances,
second to no similar establishment in the
country, he has made number of
valuable purchases, notably Astoria, full sis
ter to Dexter, 2:17H the tive-year old trottlng
mare Romney, Zalie, the maressEmily T. and
Emily A, g., the three-year old matched colts
Picture and Victorine and others, but nothing
in importance as affecting the future breeding
interests of Minnesota and the Northwest as
this purchase of Won Arnim.
Won Arnim is by Sentinel, 1st dam May
Short by Blood's Black Hawk; I'd dam by
Downing's Bay Messenger; Sd dam by Col.
w. do ,rrh
bred mare. He is golden bay, OF
his sire, is by Rysdyk's Hamble-
tonian, dam Lady Patriot, making
him own brother to the renowned Volunteer,
the most famous son of the grand old hero of
Chester, sire of st. Julien, 2:11A; Gloster,
2:17; Alley, 2:19; Bodine, 2:19h; Driver, 2:19H
and sixteen others with records under 230.
Sentinel was foaled in 1868, and made record
of 2:29A in his six-year old form, and was
sent to Kentucky about 1869. He died August,
1878, giving him in reality only some four
years in the stud. But with this short time
he has seven to his credit in the 2:30 list, thus
most conclusively demonstrating his capabili-
ty of transmitting the speed power received
from his great sire OF his get Won Arnim is
the fastest, 2:22, made at Louisville in July,
1877, and nine heats better than 2:30, although
only tracked for parts of two seasons The
others of Sentinel's get in the 2:30 list, are
Annettee. b. m. at years, 2:25J5 Young SEN
tinel 2:26, T. A, b. e. 2:25, Vivandiere, 2;26H
Mignon, 2:2714; Capoul, b. h. 2:28.
Blood's Black Hawk, sire of the dam Of Won
Arnim, was by Vermont Black Hawk, sire OF
Ethan Allen and two others in the 2:30 list.
The dam of Blood's Black Hawk was ia
nette described by Wallace as very superior
mare owned and driven on the road by Geo.
B. Loring of Boston, Mass, pedigree I'M
known.
Blood's Black Hawk,is also the sire of the
dam of Blackwood, Jr. 2:224, and also of
Blood Chief, who sired Fanny Robinson, b. IN.
who has heats under 2:S0 and record of
22O4. Thus we have in Won Arnim the best
defined trotting strains, both on the side
of his sire, and on the side OF the
sire of his dam. Wallace in speaking of the
relative rank of the principal trotting families,
as shown by the performances; of their get
places Hambletonian at the head, and Vermont
Black Hawk, the sire Of Bloods Black Hawk
second, as shown by the heats trotted in 1880
below 2:30.
Won Arnim's first appearance on the Turf
was at Lexington, October 9, 1877, in a race
for 3 years old, that had not beaten three
minutes, in which there were six entries,
Wiry jim winning the race, Won Arnim
good second. Time 1856, 1924, 2;56L.
His next appearance was July s, 1879, at 5
years old, at Louisville, for purse of $500, in
the $50 class, which he won in four heats, beat
ing field including McCurdy S HamDletOnlan,
frances Alexander, Sut Lovingood and Trim
ket The third heat was taken by McCurdy's
Hambletonan in $780, which presumption was
slgnally rebuked by Won Arnim showing the
field his heels in the next heat in 2:254.
Two days thereafter, at the same place,
purse 81, 900 for 5-year-olds, he made his rec
ord of 2:22. The starters were Trinket, Won
Arnim, Effie G. and So So. Won Arnim took
the fist heat in 2;22, and the next three heats
were taken by Trinket, which she astonished
the country by winning in 2:23119, 2;20A,
2I94, Won Arnim being good second each
time.
October S, 1880, Won Arnim was entered in
the 219 class at Louisville against Voltaire,
viii Cody, Bonesetter and Orange Girl, get
ting fourth money, Voltaire first, Will Cody
second, Bonesetter third. Time 2:23A, 2:23,
2:284, 2:21, 2:224.
Again October he started in the 2:21 class
against Piedmont, Ida Bassett and Foltaire,
taking third money.
October 18th. the same year and place, for
purse of $780, he started in the 2:22 class
against Post Boy Deck Wright, Dick Taylor
and John E. Seven heats were trotted, Won
Arnim winning the first two in 2:23 and 2:23K !,
Post Boy the third in 1884, the fourth heat
was taken by Dick Taylor in 2:29, the sixth
and seventh by Post Boy, 2:24ls4 and 2:244 I,
Won Arnim a close second in each heat. The
time in the last four heats shows combina-
