Shouting for that ThTicing and
Rigorous City.
Turf Editor of the Globe:
MxNKATo, Mimi, March 6, 1884.-Being
only new subscriber of your valuable pa
per, and seeing therein few columns de-
voted to the horse interests of Minnesota and
America, I thought myself no more than
duty bound to drop you few lines.
AN ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED.
As YOU are well aware Mankato is the COM
ing turf and stock center outside Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, in the state. The people
of this city and vicinity have organized an
association styled the Southern Minnesota
Live Stock and Fair association, capital stock
limited to $4,000, and they are pleased to
say that nearly all the principal stock men in
this and adjoining counties are interested
and pushing the interests of the association
to the front, and can safely say that
you will see an old time
southern Minnesota fair here this
season. The stockholders and board Of direc-
tors have made mark by electing reliable
and live men to the respective offices, re-
gardless of the number of shares they have
to their credit, viz: President, f. W. Mer-
Iioa II
H. Zimmerman, Jr.; financial secretary, B.
F.. Hutchison; treasurer, W. Hoerr, Jr.;
with strong, healthy board of directors,
and nothing but success stares them in the
face, regardless Of rain or wind.
SOME VALUABLE STOCK.
Looking farther we see that several parties
own some valuable colts that are showing up
in good shape. Mr.. Martin Jordan has the
following in his stables on Washington street:
Alexander Jr., brown stallion five years
old, sired by Charles DeGraff's Alexander,
dam Old Mol, PAGES of great speed and
endurance.
Mollie Jordan, brown mare three years
old, by Chas. DeGraff's Alexander dam
PAGER Moll. A fine young file and priced
very highly by her owner.
jug, grey colt two years old, sired by Chas.
DeGraff's Alexander, dam PAGER Mol. In
regard to this colt I must add that he is
trotter if there ever was one, and should he
come out in his four year old form, in as
good shape as he is now, look out for fun.
Nellie, bay mare, four years old, used for
breeding; sired by Andrew Burnham, he by
Milwaukee, dam by Red Buck. Mr.. Jordan
has also number of other colts sired by his
Alexander, Jr.
Mr.. Thomas McGarry, superintendent of
county farm, owns the grey colt Poor Farm,
four years old, sired by Andrew Burnham,
dam PAGER Moll. Mr.. McGarry would like to
put this colt into competent trainers hands
this coming season, and there are other
parties that are willing to do likewise. Track
can be securedgratis
Mr.. r. D. Hubbard owns fine bay colt,
four years old, sired by Western Chief and
can trot q full mile close to three minutes.
Mr.. Grave Burt owns a handsome bay
colt, three years old by Western Chief, dam
by Thomas P. Wallace by John c. Brecken-
ridge.
Mr.. Geo. Monks owns several colts that
are sired by Alexander and Andrew Burn
ham, dam, a very speedy PAGER, they are
:wintering in good shape.
b D. Pay is driving a bay colt that is
standard bred, by Alexander. He was
raised DY -CQdS. II.
DR.. j. c. Currier owns the black stallion,
Security, and must say that he is a fine
specimen of horse flesh. He is Nam
brine.
Several standard bred stations are making
the season at Mankato, viz: Alexander, Jr.,
y Bay Logan, Security and Calona.
Mr.. F. G. Zimmerman, on his trip through
Iowa, brought of B. H. North of Waterloo, the
standard bred chestnut colt, 2 years old,
Mambrfno Payne, by John f. Payne. by
Bald Chief, son of Bay Chief, by Mambrino
Chief, dam Dolly (the dam of Director 2:17,
Thorndall 2:22I, and Onward 1880 by
@Mambrino Chief, I'd dam by a son of Poto-
mac; dam of Mambrino Payne, Lady Love, by
Strathmore, I'd dam by Clark Chief, Sd dam
by Straders' B. NJ. Clay Jr., 4th dam Cassius
M. Clay, Jr. This royal youngster has in his
pedigree the sire of twelve horses with records
of 2:20 or better, larger number of the fast
est horses than any other trotting bred stall
lion in the state. Mr.. Zimmerman needs to
be congratulated in securing so highly bred
horse, by all breeders of this vicinity.
Mr.. Fl. Frink owns bay colt, three years
old, by Andrew Burnham, dam by Morg, or
old JONES' horse, Messenger. This colt is
very promising, and should have a season
track work.
Besides there are IS or 90 fast drivers and
the public can rest assured that before an
other winter passes Mankato can boast of
having as many stylish and fast drivers as
any other city of the same size north of Ma
son and Dixon line. Please excuse me for
writing you so lengthy an article, but you
can feel safe as it was not my intention to
take up the full columns Of your paper. 1
remain very truly yours, P. K. J.
