Lats Purchase By r. G. Ft'hfe' no0'
A car containing ten head of trotting bred
horses, recently purchased in New York, BY
4. G. Finkle, ESQ, OF Moorhead, passed
through St. Paul Saturday for Mr.. Finkle's
stock farm, near Moorherd. The car was
waukee & st. Paul railroad, and transferred to
the Northsrn Pacific at tbs Union transfer
without the stock being unloaded. Among
the animals in the car was the hne young
stallion by Volunteer, and the brood mares
Blue Bell, Valley Rose and Kste Lindley,
already noted in detail and correctly N the
GLOBE, except that we have credited The
young stallion with being rising three years
old, whereas he viii not be three until august
30 net: As said before Mr.. Finkle
has named this young horse Pioneer. He Is
bright bay, stands $50 hands, weighs some'
thing over 600 pounds, exhibits fine trottir E
action and is exceedingly SNOWY in harness.
As said before his breeding is royal, and his
impress upon the stock of The Northwest can.
not but be most beneficial. The broad mares,
Blue Bell, Valley Rose ard Kate L'ndey are
strains, as will be seen by refer
dence to the GLOBE Of Monday last. The
other se7en animals in the car were the fol-
lowing
Gen. Grant, Oh. e, in 1873, 15g hands;
sire Allen c.. Patchen; 1st dam by Rysdyk's
Hambletonian; I'd dam by Seely's American

fine form and is fast.

The name of the tenth animal has been mis-.
laid, and we cannot, therefore, give her pedi-
gree. We remember though, she was fine
looking mare. The animals arrived here
without accident of any kind and in good
shape.
In charge of the car was Mr.. W. Il. Wood
4 native Of Orange county, n. Y, famous for
its fine bred trottiDg stock the country over,
who has been engaged by Mr.. Finkle to su-
perintend his stock breeding operations. Mr.
Wood has had great experience in the care
and handling OF fine stock, and comes to Mr..
Flnkle highly endorsed by Alden Goldsmith,
and other breeders Of that section. MIR.
Wood was accompanied by his family,
and comes to stay. During his short stop in
st. Paul. he was the guest of the writer on
visit to the Midway stables, the home of the
stations Blackwood, Jr., Won Arnim, Reye-
nue. and Spottswood, and the trotting mares
$3.50, Fannie Witherspoon, Lady Rolf, Flem-
ing Girl, Astoria and many others. Mr..
Wood had heard much of the Mid
way stables, but he was unprepared
10 see such an elegant structure
as it really is. nor one IN which the arrange
ments for the care and comfort Of the animals
ie SO nearly perfect. Taken as whole Mr.
Wood, after the inspection was finished, pro-
nounced the stables the most complete he had
ever seen, and he has visited all the
finest stables in the country. Mr..
Wood was also greatly pleased with the ap-
pearance of the horses, more especially the
four stations. The magnificent form and
grand carriage, coupled with his elegant
breeding, giving the new conner, Blackwood,
