rrottfng stations of Minnesota.


of trotting stations owned and kept in the
state. The list is not complete, in desig-
mating all the trotting stations in the
state, number of letters of inquiry hav-
ing failed to elicit answers. Ia few in
stances, also, the pedigrees are imperfect,
lacking the breeders name, age, or some
other point required to make the history
compIete. But the list as it is, makes
most creditable showing for
state but twenty-five years old, and
embracing a section of country that
only few years ago was considered too
bleak and barren for successful develop
ment 1t is not necessary to say that the
breeding of these horses Is frst-class.
Their pedigrees tell that more emphatic
ally and convincingly than any mere words
we might or could add. The pedigrees
show that we have in Minnesota sons of
the best and most approved trotting
sires in the country, to which it
is only necessary to add that
in their general conformation, style and
action their are worthy representatives of
the nlustrious families from which they
descend, while their get in Minnesota,
largely from ordinary mares, will compare
favorably with those bred in any section
of the country, not even excepting those of
the famed blue grass region Of Kentucky.
