| the statement contained in 1t. The writer
| described the horse as 1615 hands high, OF
satisfactory breeding, and sound in every
| part. His proposition was to show in
| three heats, each of which should be trot-
| ted in 2:05 or less, for certain price to
be paid for the horse provided the time
mentioned was made. Now the business
part Of the proposition comes. The wri-
| ter says that he will put up and pay 81 600
for each second the horse makes over 2:05
in making the mile, and the person who
wishes to purchase must put up and pay
600 for every second the horss makes
! less than 2:05. The Commodore was much
pleased with the communication but it is
quite probable that he viii pay no atten-
ton to it though he has no hesitancy in
expressing the opinion that he has no
doubt that he willlive long enough to sees
| horse trot a mile in two minutes.
Lately there has been good deal of talk
about what the Commodore proposed to
do with his string of trotters and PAGERS
this winter, and it has been generally
thought that they would be
sent to California. This has
| even been positively asserted
but it is not correct. They will not go to
California at all. They Will all go to New
| Orleans and Texas for part Of the win
Ter, and are supposed to be on their way
! to the Lone Star state already. More than
| week ago Won ArniEn, So So, Little Brown
I jug, and Blackwood we're shipped from
| st. Paul to Chicago with the intention Of
| putting Won Arnim and So So into the
trotting string and sending them with the
others to Texas.
! Little Brown jug was sent on to New
York, to be placed in a stable near Mr..
| Bonners stable, so that that we'll known
horseman can have an opportunity to ex-
! pertinent with the animals feet. Some
| time during the summer Mr.. Kittson met
Mr.. Bonner at some of the courses in the
circuit and the latter eZ-
pressed his kindly regrets that
| that such fine, young promising animal
as the Little Brown jug should have his
career cut off short, and said that if
Mr. Kittson would send him to
New York and place the animal conven-
iently near his stables he would take great
satisfaction in trying to cure him. This
kind offer Mr. Kittson very gladly accept
ed and the Little Brown Jug was forwarded
to New York as above stated and is now
substantially under Mr.. Bonner's charge.
This is only one OF the many ways in
which that large hearted man, with big,
generous acts, has illustrated his broad
ideas. 1t is to be hoped that he will be
able to make such a change in the little
brown pacing gelding that he will come
forth again prepared to do battle for the
pacing supremacy.
BlackwOod who also went down to Chi
cago, was sent to Erdenheim. The Com
modore was many times solicited by the
citizens, and particularly by the farmers
around there, to send a trotting stallion
down there for service. To accommodate
thence he accordingly sent down Black
wood, where he will remain fer the pres
ont.
The following trotters are on the way
to Texas: Won Arnim, Pilgrim, Fanny
Witherspoon, So So, Minnie r. The pa
| GERS are Gem and Johnston. It is the in
tention to have John Splan and Dan
Woodmansee go right through with them
to Texas, where they Will spend several
weeks going through the trotting circuits
in that state. When they are through
there they will return with them to New
Orleans where they will trot them for
several weeks through the races there and
! in such engagements as may be deemed
suitable and judicious. From New Or
leans they will 90 along through the south
to Georgia where they will probably haVe
some races, after which they will work
around up to Cincinnati SO as TO reach the
latter city ABOUT February, where they will
remain and train till the western circuit
commences. This was the programme
when Mr.. Klttson left Chicago. Of
course, it may be modified in some degree
and at any time.
Mr.. Kittson has never seen the great
PAGER Johnston, which he recently purchased
and was in St. Paul when the horse paced
the three great heats last week which de-
termined the purchase. He received
the dispatch here in st. Paul giving him
the information of the time made, and
feeling satisfied on the representations of
Mr.. Splan and Mr.. Woodmansee, he closed
up the trade and now the great PAGER goes
with the string to the south.
Last winter Mr.. Klttson's horses at Mid
way suffered a good deal from colds, and it
was thought that this was caused by damp
ness caused by the breathing of the ami
mails becoming CONCEALED on the sides and
roof of the immense stables. He has there
fore had the stables wainscoated, and the
whole sides of the building lathed and
plastered, and the roof ceiled up so that
hereafter no dampness can gather. In
addition to this he has had several chimneys
and fire places built in for circulation
and draft. With these changes it is be-
believed the valuable stock that is wintered
there will go through the winter without
trouble.
Lady Rolf is in foal to Blackwood.
Sannie G. is in foal to Blackwood, Jr.
Astoria is in foal to Black wood, :Jr., and
the colt she had last year by Won Arnim is
doing finely, and is very promising, though
not large.
Mere CIgdesdaIes.
Mr.. j. ]. Hill, preside MT of the st. Paul
& Manitoba road, has recently purchased
in Scotland six Clydesdale, mares, which
he will put upon his farm just outside of
st. Paul. These, splendid animals cost
$1,000 each, and are beauties.
He has recently purchased also ten head
of Polled Angus and, short horn cattle.
Two of the COWS took the first premiums
at the Highland society, Scotland, and at
the Royal society, England. Mr.. Hill is
going very largely into this kind of stock,
and is introducing some very fine speci-
mems of blooded stock.
