trotter than this young filly, let it be
named. The following is list of its i'm
mediate ancestors and their records on the
trotting turf: Pilgrim, the sire, has a
breeders record, half mile in Ill, and re-
peated in lily; Smuggler, the grandsire,
bas record of 2:1515; May Morning, Pill
grim's dam, has record of 2:3O; Ethan
Allen, the sire of Pilgrims grand dam, has
| record of 2:15 with running mate. and
Pilgrims great grand dam, Pocahontas.
has record of 2:17I to wagon. The sire
of May Morning, the dam of Pilgrim, is
the daughter of Daniel Lambert, who is
the sire of twenty-one trotters that have
made records on the turf ranging from
2:3O down to 2:191@. Lady Groesbeck,
the dam of the filly, has a record of
2:2572, and her sire, Star of the West, has
record of 2:26, and is also the sire of two
others with record below 2:30. This is
an unparalleled heritage in the trotting
lines, backed up by old pacing Pocahontas,
whose superior in speed and stamina is
yet to be produced.

FINE COLT FOAL.
Friday last we accepted the invitation of
Will II. Nichols, deputy clerk of the su-
preme court, to take a look at colt foal,
out of one of fine pair of bay mares, the
family team of his father, the Hon. Sam
q. Nichols, by Prince Imperial, son of Ad-
mlnlstrator, dam Hortense, by Muir's grey
Denmark, owned by Martin & Abbott, of
Pennington, Dakota county. The colt will
be bright bay with black points, the only
white being small star in the forehead. His
dam is large rangy mare, 1873 hands and
will weight about 1,10O pounds, and is said
to be Morgan and Hambletenian, claim
that is borne out by her general conforma-
ton. His sire, Prince Imperial. stands
little over 16 hands, and is pronounced by
those who have seen him, as fine appear
ing trotting stallion as there is in the
state, as he certainly is among the best
bred. And it is faint praise to say that
Mr. Nichols colt does credit to the breed
ing and conformation of his sire. A splen-
did barrel carried upon strong and we'll
shaped legs, a short back, full strong
loins, grand sloping shoulders, a beautiful
neck and clean cut head, full in front,
prominent eyes and elegant ears. Porter
Martin should pay the youngster visit
and look him over for, if we mistake not,
he is the best advertisement for Prince
Imperial yet produced in Minnesota.
MICELLANEoUs.
Mr.. Otto Kickbush, of Wausau, Wis, in
letter to Mr.. B. Woodmansee, superin-
tendent of the Midway breeding establish
ment, says: 81 own a two-year- stallion
colt, by Won Arnim, his dam by Mambrino
Patchen. l think he is as good colt as
anybody owns. He is good size, with nice
star and one white hind foot, and as hand
some as he can be, with a nice, smooth,
| open gait. He is the making of a race
| horse, dead sure. have been leading him
| after horse that can trot in 5O,and he can
In spots trot as fast as the horse, and have
only led him five or six times. If nothing
goes wrong with him in his three-year-old
form, 1 think he will trot in 80. His
appearance is of thoroughbred
horse with very fine head and ear, tail
touches the ground. I have seen great
many colts in Kentucky, Indiana and at
Cases farm, this state, but never have
seen one anywhere near equal to this fell
low in spread and for beauty, and as l
said before, If nothing goes wrong, will
show you 3-year-old next season that
will be hard to beat in America You NAV
think am saying good deal when 1 say
America, but never mind, I'll show them.
He acts just like an old trotter now. have
named him Won Arnim, Jr. am not
writing this to crack up or to sell, as he is
not for sale, but simply because of your
interest in the stock"
Jerome McKenney is at the Midway
track with several horses, including a fine
pole team, jet blacks, 16 hands, 4 and
years old, full brothers, recently purchas-
ed by Hon. Conrad Gotzian in Kentucky.
They are an elegant looking team and are
being handled simply for road driving.
Mr.. Mckenny also has Frank Fisk, record
2:29, and Manitoba, record 2:37, owned by
J. j. Hill, theS railroad king of the North
west. They have been used by Mr.. Hill
the past year as a pole team, and
both are very feshy, much too fat for fast
work, but McKenney says he is satisfied
that both in condition will be able to beat
their records. If such proves to be the
case, it is very probable they will be start
ed IN races in this section late in the sea-
son. But Mr.. McKenney's pet is the brown
mare, Nettie G, seven years old, by Wild
Willie, sire of Fairmont, record 2:2815,
the property of w. r. Merriam,
vice president of the Merchants
National bank, this city. She has no re-
cord, but last season drove Fred Pilsbury's
Pedro out in 2:3o14, and trotted in matt
nee performance in 2:274. She has win
tered in fine shape, and is trotting very
fast this spring. She will probably be cam
paigned, but her first appearance has not
yet been definitely determined.
Mr.. Crawford Livingston, of this city,
has recently purchased a couple of trotters,
bred by brother-in-law who has a stock
