UOac TIE breeding is Being Constantly Inn
proved in Ain3edpoItS-A Number of
handsome High Bred Kdtcite& ROGdSteFS
and Car|idge Horses.
During the past few years thsre has been
a vast improvement in horse flesh in Min
neapelis, which fact has frequently been
attested by elaborated descli ptioas of
some of the fine animals by the turf editor
of the GLOBE in the Monday issues. 1t has
bsen stated, moreover, and without any
attempt at kraggadocio, byhorsemen whose
| experiences have made them competent to
arrive at the conclusion with degree Of
certainty, that there are not two cities in
the Union, of comparative size, which can
boast of so many propertioHate fue bred
horses, and stylish and speedy turnouts,
as can Minneapolis and ST. Paul, and that
there are absolutely no cities of the same
| age which exhibit a comparison. This
| fact is possibly due to primal effort by
the earliest settlers to breed nothing bat
the best, and as q result, nothing but high
bred horses can find market here. Deal
ers appreciate this condition, and are con
stantly purchasing animals of excellent
breeding from various parts of the states
and country and not Rnfrequently Sc sc
far as to import expressly for this p srl 81.

ever, is to give special mention OF y fze

scription and pedigree:
