FAIR NOTES.

horses, of which Messrs. Dewey &
Stewart had 20. OF them Lolita
Mapes, daughter of Jerome Eddy,
attracted very large attention and is
an exceedingly fine four-year old filly.
George Milo was entered in the 8
years old "A mile race, best three in
five. 1t was his first race and he had
not been fitted in any particular.
Started 5th in the first heat and came
out second best, and easily won the
I'd, sd and 4th heats and the race.
This is an exceedingly fine stallion
and in due time under proper TAIN
ing, is sure to make his mark way
down in the 'teens." He is full
brother to Jerome Eddy and sanguine
friends think fully his equal at the
same age.
Col. Mapes, a yearling stallion, "a
brother to Jerome Eddy, was colt
that justly attracted the attention of
the crowd. 1t is the opinion of the
proprietors that this colt will in due
time beat the wonderful time made
last year by Jerome Eddy.
DIR. Perkins had on exhibition a
yearling stallion, sired by Joe Gavin,
dam by Louis Napoleon. This is an
exceedingly stylish and fine colt; was
exhibited along side of Col. Mapes,
and it was difficult for the best judges
to decide which was the best colt.
Side by side they certainly made
fine show.
Of the valuable horses on exhibit
ton large number of were them the
get of the horses owned by Dewey &
Stewart. than which there are no bet
ter anywhere.
p. M. Roweli had on exhibition
elena Mapes," with foal at foot.
She is full sister to "Lou Rowell"
who made private trial this season
on the Kalamazoo track in 2:24.
Her stallion colt, four months old,
which is standard bred on both sides
to the fourth generation. "Kate
Rowell, four years old, standard on
both sides, on Friday before the fair
made her mile in 2:3I. "Loco,"
yearling stallion, standard on one
side to the fourth generation, sired
by Byerly's Abdallah, he by Mambri-
no Patchin. These four, all took
first premiums in their several class
es. Mr.. B., asks us to add that the
reason why "Kate" did not trot on
the course at the fair, was that the
others refused to enter with her in
her class.
A. H. Byerly exhibited "Abdallah"
by Membrino Chief, fine stallion in
the years old class. Also "Oscar,"
two year old stallion by Abdallah,
a young horse that deservedly at
eracted much attention for his gen.
uine merit, and four year old geld
ing in the roadster class.
~. Horsman exhibited a four
year old mare, with foal at foot, that
commanded marked attention. The
colt was by Louis Napoleon and was
displayed on the track to the sur
prise of the people.
r. Campbell had on the track a
fine two year old gelding that is pre-
sumed to be fast and is certainly a
fine colt, sired by Byerly's "Abdal-
lah."
There were, also, on the grounds,
two fine draft stations, one the
property of J. Turnbell, of Owosso
and the other, an iron grey, but who
the exhibitor was we did not learn.
"Merty Gregg" a seven year old
daughter of Louis Napoleon. was on
exhibition and one will have to go q
long ways to find more beautiful
animal, and she is said to be capable
of trotting way down into the thirties
In addition to these we have me n
toned, there was some 300 horse:
on exhibition that as whole, canno
be excelled in any county in Mich
gan, of which we have no space fol
special notice.
