Aeffon Of Cha,nb.r M commerce.

The following is from the report OF the pro-
ceedings Of the st. Paul chamber Of COM
meree December s:
One of the first matters considered yester-
day, by the board of directors OF the cham Der
OF commerce, was that Of the
WEST ST. PAUL LEvEE.
Last week this matter was referred TO the
committee on legislation, which reported, in
writing, through Mr.. Murray, that the com
munication must have been drafted
under q Misrepresentation Of the facts in
regard to the levee. G. d. Gilfllan and
the other citizens who originated the
scheme of a levee 200 feet in width along
the bank of the Mississippi river in the Sixth
ward, did so for the purpose OF securing at
an early day without q large cost property
that might in the future, under proper re-
strictions and limitations, be given railroad
corporations as right OF way for the pur-
pose OF enabling them to get within the city
with their respective roads, and with this in
tention and understanding they secured
legislation which authorized the city to ap-
propriate $50, 900 towards the improvement
As yet but one railroad company has made
application for the right of way over the
levee, viz: The Minnesota & Northwestern
railroad company, and for the purpose of
enabling other railroads TO extend their lines
to and within the city; the common council
refused to grant that railroad corporation a
right OF way more than fifty feet in width
over and across the Sixth ward levee, this,
Notwithstanding the fact that quite mum Der
of the citizens OF the Sixth ward, in their
zeal for new line of railroad, were quite
willing that grant of $50 feet should be
made. One hundred and fifty feet in width
of the lower leyee remains Incorporated,
which is ample for two more railroads, and
fifty feet in width for levee purposes.
1t is expected and intended BY the COM
mon council, that any railroad corporation
securing the right of way along and across
the Sixth ward levee will grade so much OF
the levee as may be given it for right OF
way 10 such grade as would be approved by
the common council, and this they will be re-
quired to do, thus relieving the property
holders Of the Sixth ward from an assessment
for levee improvement to that extent. The
committee declares its belief that the inter
ests Of the Sixth ward viii be carefully
guarded. and that any concessions made to
any railroad company viii be made with a
view to enhance and promote the best inter
ests of the Sixth ward, and recommend that
the communication from the Sixth ward be
placed on file. The report was adopted.

Mr. Kitfso,l,s Ret,tr,a.

Commodore Kittson returned Thursday
from Erdenheim, where he and Mr.. Wood
mansee have been for several weeks. They
saw Little Brown jug at the farm running
out in the pasture, as free and fresh as colt.
He was in excellent condition, free from
lameness, and apparently as sound as ever
he was. The commodore had little to say
about his stock, and not much to say about
ANYTHING else, for the reason when be comes
back from a trip of several weeks, he finds
his business has so accumulated during his
absence that be has but limited time to de-
vote to outside matters.
A very strong influence has been brought
to bear to induce the commodore to take his
string of horses to New Orleans this winter,
and exhibit them at the great exposition.
The proposition is to take Fannie Wither.
spoon, Minnie r, Won Arnim, Johnston,
Revenue, and two others, seven in all, to the
exhibition and to keep them all there during
the winter, and then get them ready for the
summer campaign. What the owner Of
these valuable animals may con-
clude to do in the matter we do not know.
Mr.. Kittson is of very accommodating dis
is possible he may comply with the request,
but we would hardly think he would. 1t is
not probable that those who ask this favor
really comprehend what the request involves.
A horse that PAGES in 2:O61l is a delicate
piece of property, requires continuous care
and subject all the time TO accident that may
cause him to drop off a second or
two. Then he is comparatively valueless
for the purpose for which he was bought and
for which he is kept. To request a gentle
man to take seven valuable trotting and pac-
ing animals worth $50, 900 or more, dis
lance of fifteen hundred miles simply to ex-
hibit them for two or three months without
remuneration, is to ask a good deal. In a
conversation with Mr.. r. &. Judson, the sec
Rotary of the State agricultural society, who
is arranging for the live stock exhibit at New
Orleans, the writer took occasion to put this
view of the matter before him, and he was
forced to admit that it was serious matter
There is still another view of the subject
Whatever is sent to New Orleans from Min
nesota is supposed to be a product of this
state, or in some way to represent the state.
Now the leading horses that would go there
from the Kittson stables would be animals
bred in other states. What would prevent
Kentucky and Wisconsin from coming in
and claiming all the credit for the exhibits
They certainly would have more right to it
than would Minnesota on the breeding cues
ton. The risk of taking the animals from
the climate of Minnesota, and transporting
them to New Orleans where it is, much warm
er, and taking all the chances of accident for
fifteen hundred miles by rail, is very Sc
rious thing. However, we suppose Mr.. Kit.
son is fully competent to decide for himself.
1t is to be hoped that if through an accom-
modatiug disposition and desire to serve
the public, he complies with the request that
no injury will come to his valuable animals.

The Erdenhef,,, Stnhtes.

Mr.. Hamilton Busbey, one of. the editors
and proprietors of the Turf, Field and Farm.
in the issue of that paper, dated the 10Th
inst, gives an interesting description of a
visit to Erdenheim, from which we make
the following extract: 81 walked out for a.
breath of fresh air, and twenty yards from
the tall, white portico stopped and bent over
a heavy granite slab and read the deeplv
carved named, bennington In a straight
line, ten PAGES further, a companion slab

wart pines and the low branching wild Gu
cumber trees cast weird shadows r1rlpon the
graves OF these famous horses, and silently I
lifted my hat and stood with uncovered head
in the presence of slumbering greatness. I
recalled how proudly bennington walked be-
fore the critical company at Clifton Stud
farm, soon after his importation, by Mr..
Cameron, and how he subsequently, won
fame as the sire of Longfellow, Iroquois and
host of performers.

The land adds to its value for breeding pur-
poses. One of the improvements made by
Commodore Kittson is a massive stone bridge
across the Wissahickon. Another is a LARGE
training stable, containing, in addition To
offices and sleeping rooms, forty-two boxes

one furlong, or eight laps to the mile. The
walls OF the stables recently destroyed by fire
are still standing, but they will be taken
down and new building put up in another
place. The stables were too much punched
at Erdenheim, and the wonder is that the
fire, having got under strong headway, did
not wipe them ali out. Il is now somewhat

WdILdce's Mosithlv.

This work is really invaluable to the horse
men of the United States. Its pages are
filled with excellent selections full of inform
alton, and with judicious editorials that treat
upon the live topics of the day pertaining to
the breeding of the trotter. The science of
breeding the American trotter has come to be
very important. The record has been so far
reduced that quarter of second is of prime
consequence. From this time forward the
reduction of the record will be slower than
it has ever before been. Instead of two or
three seconds being dropped off at a time.
the struggle will be to cut off the quarters Of
second. To do this all conditions must
conspire. such as condition of the trotter the
weather, the track and the construction of
the sulky. There is one other condition thar
stands out above all others, and that is the
breeding of the horse that is to accomplish
the feat. He who most judiciously puts the
elements together to produce the animal will
succeed, and it is right here that the prinei-
pies of breeding that Mr.. Wallace has been
laboring for years to inculcate are applied
with telling effect. Mr.. Wallace has done a
great work for the American trotter. and he
deserves credit for il.

A Challenge.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Dear Sir: Mr.. Tom McAlpine has lately
been indulging in a good deal OF braggadocio
at my expense for the purpose Of booming a
certain Billy Wilson, as eolored champion
He has medal upon which he has had in
scr1bed words to the effect that he is cham pion
because am afraid TO meet him. Not salts
fed with this, he has been showing said
medal at all exhibitions he has given, which
have only been patronized because he has,
by the above means, imposed on his audi
enees and made them believe that he has
made me take water, and that, therefore, he
is eolored champion. What little reputation
he has gained, he got in that way at my ex-
pense. Now TO put stop to all further wind
work on his part, have this day deposited
$50 with John S. Barnes, to back the follow
ing challenge: / viii fight this Billy Wilson,

to take all gate receipts. Jam willing to have
the editor Of the GLOBE appoint the final
stakeholder. Here is no chance for Tom
McAlpine to make any of his long talks, OF
any holes for him TO crawl out of. Il is put
up or shut up. II he or Mr.. Wilson wishes
to make bona fide, up and up match for
money, here is their chance. will meet
them to-day at 8 o'clock p. m. at John S.

Johnston.
Turf, Field and Farm

Johnston, with the other members of the
Midway string, viii pass the winter in Min
uesota. Mr.. Woodmansee is confident that
the great PAGER viii reduce his record of
2:064. The horse has SO much vitality and
is so full of play that it is dangerous to turn
him into paddock, consequently he takes
his exercise in harness. Minnie r. win be
kept in double harness with running mate,
and If horse can be found which is strong
enough to take the weight from wire to wire
it is thought she can pace mile under two
minutes. Fanny Witherspoon is likely to be
a better mare next year than ever. Mr..
Woodmansee has thought out plan for shoe
ing her which he has faith will cause her to
reduce her record. Com. Kittson says that
he will not travel his horses all over the
country next summer. He prefers to fill
few engagements with them on the leading
tracks. Gem, who has pacing record of
2:iS3<, will be bred in the spring to Joe Bias
sett, the sire of Johnston, and Com. Kittson
will take Little Brown jug for his driving
horse. He has been using Gem, but wants a
colt out of her.

The Board of Revieic.


The official report of the Fifth Avenue
hotel meeting of the board of review is long,
and Secretary Vail had to work night and
day after adjournment to get it ready for our
columns this week. Several important ques-
tons were decided by the board. The
National Trotting association grows In
strength from year to year. In 1882 there
were POI members; in 1888, 217 members,
and in 1884, 265 memb ers. OF these forty
seven belong to the eastern district, seventy
four to the Atlantic district, forty-four to the
central district, eighty-fou to the western
district and sixteen to the Pacific district. A
vast amount of labor is required to take care
of so large roll. The premiums awarded
by members in 1884 amounted to s., 900, O00
These brought 10000 entries and Il, 900 start
ers. Powerful machinery is required to gov
ern so many races. One of the orders issued
by the board is that all notices of suspension
hereafter forwarded by members of the asso
citation under section 6 of rule 81 shall be
accompanied by the original entry. AS the
conditional entry question is one Of the most
troublesome that comes up, it is important
that the original letters and kilograms should
be lodged in the hands of The board. The
wisdom of the order is obvious to those who
have practical knowledge of the ways Of the
trotting turf
