"N. 4. G." In st. Paul.

the BreederS' Gazette, Chicago, over
the initials "M. T. g." forms a
decided feature of this very interesting
paper, and has served to introduce him
very generally to the hersemen and breed
ers of the state-himself, by the way, one
of the most intelligent trotting horse
breeders in the state, having Trample by
Tramp as a slre-visited st. Paul and
Minneapolis week before last, of which he
writes very interesting account to the
Gazette, from which we extract:
From Minneapolis to st. Paul-how
close the rivals are Over the narrow IN
terval jealous residents watch that their
opponents gain no advantage Out of
this strenuous emulation will soon grow a
union which is destied to rank as the
metropolis not alone of the great north
west, but of the continent.
At st. Paul the irrepressible, almost
omnipresent "Carl, whom strangers know
as MIR. Judson, secretary of the Minnesota
State fair, turned me over to Mr.. Beaupre,
who ordered out his well-known span of
PAGERS to convey me to that newly born
Mecca of all good horsemen, Midway. On
the road the team gently sto's along into
brush that seemed faster tnan a judici-
GUS man would care to state. Mr.. B.
modestly termed it ga 40 clip" To get
a more accurate notion of what it really
was, he started them up quarter when
the track was reached. A little too hasty
on the send-off, one of them made a pac-
ing break, but the quarter pole was
reached in SO seconds. Turning them
back without expecting to drive them fast,
they slid along until on passing the gate
the clip was very rapid one. Ben Wood
mansee, coming up just then, cried out:
Look at that team, they are going 80
gait" just then they were slowed up
around the turn and sent along under the
wire at abont three-quarter speed. Mr.. B.
thought we were making game of him when
told that this quarter was 39 seconds.
"Why, never rode so fast in my life"
''XeS ou did," replied, son the road out
heIo; and when you wish to show only
40 clip in the future, urive slower"
This young team got record of 2:29 in
pole race at Fargo last fall, and if Mr..
Beaupre will only relinquish them for
short time this season, they can acquire
a record that not only he bat the state
may be proud Of. There is only one team
in Minnesota that has the slightest show
to beat them, and it is not mine, although
Mink and Queen will be in the fray. The
gentleman from Wisconsin, the Hon.
Dexter Curtis, will please take notice that
he must come with edge tools and a driver
who can hear, for the PAGERS go very
quietly.
From the track we went to that huge
edifice, SO often described, but never un-
derstood until seen. It is called a stable.
and when the dimensions are given one is
expected to understand how big it is. No
idea of its vastness is thus conveyed. If I
had to keep trotter in it, the carpenter
should have an immediate order to build
barn over him, for to my perceptions the
difference between inside and out of doors
is only imaginary.
Spottswood was first shown. Freely and
fairly, don't like him. This verdict will
likely insure him fast record and great
career; that is the usual fate of my opin-
ions. His sire is my kind OF a horse, a
Morgan, with Black Hawk tendencies.
That accounts for the name, "The Iron
Horse of Tennessee" If Blackwood. Jr.
doesn't inherit chiefly from his Morgan
ancestry then his looks belle him.

the time this will appear, to find out how
Splan likes her. Woodmansee is proud of
the change, and he has right to be.
From Midway back to town, where Mr..
McGrath installed me behind a daughter
of Tramp and we hied away to the Mime
sofa McGrathiana. When his voice for an
instant wearied of the wonders of Tramp
blood, mine gladly caught the refrain, un-
til admonlshed that the master was ready
again. For five miles out on the Como
road it was Tramp, Tramp, Tramp. Then
we looked at Tramp's sons and daughters.
