Forty years is long period Of time to
be connected with news paper, and when
it is one department the event is still more
wonderful. Mr.. j. Elliott has represented
the turf interests of the country in the
columns Of the New York Herald, for that

are his witnesses to the signal ability that
has characterized his management of that

Young Highland Chief is the name of q
fine Norman stallion, the property of En-
gle & Albertus, of Owatonna, imported by
them one year ago last spring at two years
of age. He weighs 1900 pounds, is eight
teen and one-half hands high and is as per-
feet and symmetrical specimen of the
equine species as can be imagined. As a
foal getter, the past season developed him
to be No. and this class of horses his
progeny will make is not hard to guess,
as his colts are strongly marked fer
him.

Turf, Field and Farm says: ga horse
belonging to Mr.. Thos. Kennedy, on the
Rice farm, near Pulaski, Tenn, died re-
Gently in sudden and peculiar
manner. Five hours after death he was cut
| open, and in his bowels was found live
reptile about seven inches long, shaped
| like an eel. Where the mouth and eyes
should be there were marks to indicate
their locality, but neither were visible. It's
color was a yellowish tint. II lived
only a short time after being removed
from the intestinss."

out of the pacing mare Annie R, by the
stallion Hole-in-the-Day, brought to Mime
sofa in early day from Canada. The colt
was bright bay, and natural trotter,

she was urged to go.
The st. Paul Driving rink on the river
will be formally opened this afternoon, at
which time it is expected quite number
of horsemen from Minneapolis with their
steppers will be present and join in the
sport. The track is three-quarters of
mile in length extending down the river
from the bridge, with return track, so
that the speeding will all be one way. The
track is in the hands of an association of
gentlemen who propose to keep it in good
condition until the spring break
up, and only those subscribing
to it will be allowed to use
it, to whom tickets will be issued.
