Kstt.ondale Breedina Earn.

The GLOBE the past week contained two &C.
counts of additional purchases made by Com
modore N. w. Kittson, in Kentucky, for his
breeding -Kittsondale-to be located on
the st. Paul driving park property. In all,
Mr.. Kittson's purchases the past week, num-
bered twelve head, of whom the most import
ant is the elegantly bred and fast young trot-
ting mare Hambrino Belle, of whose per-
Torrance and breeding the GLOBE on Wednes-
day last gave full history. Among the twelve
head beside Hambrino Belle, are q old
and yearling FLY by the noted stallion Snug
gler, the king of the trotting turf, a 2-year
old FLY by Won Arnim and mare by tThorn-
dale, and the whole lot, in the purity of their
trOtting blood, are in every way worthy COM
panions of Astoria, Romney, Zalie and the
others purchase by him at the Kellogg COM
bination sale in New York. For the twelve
head it is understood Mr.. Kittson paid
$1,000 Goo making With with Won Ar Amin
stallion Dalnacardock and the thoroughbred
mare Victoria and foal by her side, $1,000, re-
Gently imported, $25, 900 Mr.. Kittson has paid
for horses since leaving ST. Paul three weeks
ago. In all, thoroughbreds and trotters, Mr..
Kittson has now thirty-nine head, for which
he has paid in round numbers about 100000,
and he is not through yet, being this week in
attendance upon the races of the Nashville,
Tenn, blood horse association, where he hopes
to secure four mile thoroughbred runner,
with several head of American thoroughbred
mares.
1t can now also be stated, though the trans
fer of the property has not actually taken
place, that Mr.. Kittson and the owners of the
driving park property have reached an under.
standing as to all details of sale, aud the act
ual transfer will be made Immediately upon
arrival home of Mr.. Kittson from Tennessee.
! In anticipation of the transfer Mr.. Ben Wood
mansee has been instructed to commence
cleaning up the grounds and getting every
| thing in readiness for commencement of work
upon the improvements Mr.. Kittson proposes to
make this season, among which are a fine club
| house, and row of substantial brick stables,
| the cost of which will be in the neighbour God
of $25, 900, making with the grounds and
stock bought, fully 100000 Mr. Kittson
will put into his breeding enterprise this
| season.
| From the character of some of Mr. Kittson's
purchases, it is evident he does not intend to
confne himself to the breeding of trotters and
| thoroughbreds, but that he proposes to be rep.
| resented in the great turf events of the coun-
| try, both trotting and running. Already be
can muster formidable string of trotters
with Won Arnim, 2:22; Hambrino Belle, 2:25X
Frank Fisk 1923: Astoria, sister to Baxter,
no record, but a public trial of 2:23; Bonnie
Grey, no record, but who in matinee race
! last summer at Minneapolis, drew wagon a
full mile in 2:4S; Naamah, Emily A., Ronney
anu Zalie, all young and fleety, saying nothing
about Picture and Victorine, the three year
olds, and several others.
The young mare Victorine, by Rollo, men,
| toned in Wednesdays GLOBE, as being seri
ously i'll, and in the hands of DR.. c. c. Berk-
man, has greatly improved under his care, and
can now be said to be out of danger. The bal
ance of Mr. Kittson's stock at the driving park
are in remarkably good condition, especially
the English thoroughbreds, considering their
long ocean and rail trip to reach st. Paul.
| Dalnacardock is especially fine, his coat shin
| ing like silk and without scratch on limb or
body to detract from the beauty of his fine pro-
portions.
