Minnesota Griet Mentions.

hlttSOnS celebrated Midway STOCK farm,
now in Cincinnati, We learn that the string
of trotters and PAGERS are receiving their
preparation at the driving park. that city,
under the skillful supervision Of John
Splan. He says "Brown jug seems per-
fectly sound, and I have never seen him
move when I liked him so well.
Gem is going handsomely and With
erspoon never pleased me better. Pilgrim
looks and moves finely and Splan regards
him as the coming wonder. Lady Role
and Silverton are both moving sound, and
Won Arnim and Minnie r are both healthy
and strong and will get money whenever
started" This is very encouraging report
and it seems to be confirmed by the sea
sons work he has mapped out, he having
entered Fannie Witherspoon, Minnie R,
Pilgrim, Won Arnim and Lady Rolf,
in the meeting of the Gentlemen's
Driving park, New York city, to commence
June 20 and continue three days, with
purses aggregating $4,000, and also at
Albany, New York, the following week.
From there he says the stable will go to
Washington, D. c., then to Pittsburg, then
come to Chicago, and then go on back
through the grand circuit, winding up at
Hartford, Ct., where q special feature of the
meeting will be a $4,000 purse for 2:19
horses, in which Mr.. Woodmansee, says the
stable will be represented. Prior to all this,
however, the lattice will go through the Ohio
and Kentucky circuit, commencing at Louis
vile, June 8, and following with Maysville,
Cincinnati, Dayton, Springfield and Co.
lumbus.
Here at home the stock is all in fine
shape. So So is in extra fine form, better
than ever before since she became the
property of Com. Kittson, and 1t is probable
she will soon be sent to Cincinnati to join
the campalgners. She is now receiving
road work, as is also Sannie G, Spottswood,
the 4-year-old FLY Sue Won by Won Ar
MIN and the 3-year-old filly Belle Black
wood by Blackwood, Jr. It is probable the
latter will be entered in some of the races
to be given in this section during the sea-
son. The two-year-olds Edna Wilson, Ed
mund Rice, and William Henry will soon
be taken up and learned their steps and
probably the mares Astoria and Lady
Logan will also be taken up soon and fit
ted for races in this section.
Another FLY foal came the 9Th, a chest
nut with four white feet, by Ravenswood,
son of Blackwood, Jr., dam Lady Humboldt,
sister to Humboldt, 2:204, by Stockings
Chief, son of Clark Chief, sire of Croxie,
record 2:194.
GEO. W. sHERwoOD's STOCK.
Geo. w. Sherwood returned to the city
Friday from visit TO his stock farm at
Sheldon, Ia. Mr.. Sherwood reports his stock
in excellent condition. So far there has
been but one foal on the place this spring,
bay colt with star by Baymont, son of
Alden Goldsmith, dam by Swigert, ont of
mare by Western Chief, son of Curtice's
Hambletonian. Mr.. Sherwood has en-
gagged Mr.. Emery, late of Racine, Wis, to
handle his colts, and drive his mare Ham
bletonian Maid, which he has decided to
enter through the Iowa circuit. This mare
has record of 2:3S, made under circum-
stances rejecting the greatest 6iscredit
upon the judges of the race. The mare
was in the 2:50 class at Sioux City last fall.
She won the first heat with ease in 2:47,
distancing one or two of her competitors.
Notwithstanding she won the heat a cry
was raised by those who wanted 10 get her
out of their class, that she was not being
change of drivers. Strange as it
tened to the demand, and her driver was
removed, and the driver of one of the
horses distanced put up behind her, who
drove her out in the next heat in 2:38, her
present record. Had the mare lost the
first heat the removal of the driver would
have been all right, but so long as she won,
change, and in doing as they did they in
ODD Loss Mr hnr nod
which the National Association should see
righted. Mr.. Sherwood has reported the
matter and asked for redress, but has not
as yet heard anything of his complaint.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Dunton's Spirit Of the Turf says: 1t
Lake Elysian stock farm, GAINESVILLE, MIMI,
Mr.. G. A. De Crafts mare Senta, by Thorn
dale, sire of Edwin Thorne, 2:1615; dam
Evalena, by Ashland, sire of the dam of
Edwin Thorne; second dam, Lady Patriot,
the dam of Volunteer, gave birth to horse
colt with black points, on the sd day of
March last. The youngster is by Gambetta,
q son of Volunteer, out of Bateman's dam,
by Hambletonian, and is remarkably we'll
formed one in all respects, and much re-
sembles his ancestor, Volunteer. This is
but sample of the many excellent young
sters which first saw the sunlight at Lake
Elysian.
The trotting gelding jim Wilson, for
merly Brother Baldwin, owed by Hiram
Knox, Sheldon, Mimi, recently broke a leg
in two places and was destroyed. His rec
ord was 3:32, but he had often beaten $50,
even over half-mile tracks. and was a re-
liable and handy rrotter. He was bred at
North Prairie, Mimi; the breeding Of his
dam is unknown, and it is not known what
horse sired him. Mr.. Nesbit bought his
dam when with foal and can only say that
she came from the frontier.
During the past week several car loads
of heavy draft horses passed through St.
Paul en- route for Montana. a shipment
of two cars that went through Friday for
Helena included two very fine looking
Norman-Percheron stations, weigh
ing probably between 1000 and
LOO pounds each. Near by stood one of
! the handsomest and smallest Shetland
stallion ponies that we ever saw. The
contrast presented by the big Percherons
was strikingly ludicrous.
