of the surprises of the season, at Minneapolis.
Mr.. Kittson is one of the pioneer residents of
St. Paul, and it is here that all his interests,
including his breeding farm, are centered.
Minneapolis has enough of which to be proud
without being credited with the residence of
Mr.. Kittson.
The two recent purchasers by Commodore
Kittson, through the American Horse ex-
change, New York city, of English thorough
breds, the chesnut stallion Woodlands, 9
years, and the chestnut flly Dorothy Vernon,
4 years, have only been given walking exercise
since reaching Kittonsdale, but a rider has
now been secured and they will be put at regu-

ceived insuring the largest and finest display
ever made in the State. The speed trials also
promise to be largely patronized, the contests
guaranteeing exciting contests in every class.

Judson, secretary, Farmington, MINI.
