a correspondent of the Spirit, writing
from Lexington, KY, on the 18th, says
have just returned from Frankfort and a
visit 10 L khorn, to view Onward and his
get. they are mint of good ones, all fro IN
the same dic-uut counterfeit one in the
lot. Coz. Pepper has a ycarling colt by
Onward, out of Clark Chief mare, that
trottcd quarter in Al seeonds-went ut 1t
as natural and as handy as an old horse.
''Oa,' says the Colonel, 'that is nothing, he
can beat that. will send him another quar-
ter, alongside of a runuer, that will surprise
YOU" l objected, as thought it Il pity to
see baby trotter forced to the top Of his
speed.
Wen, here am at Lexington, the garden
of merit, where the trotting horse blooms in
the snnshine of success. The racing com
meneed Monday-rather an unusual day of
the week 10 commence trotting meeting
and II O'Clock at that--so you see there is
pothing conventional ia that particular, al
though some little kicking. Among the
visitors noticed I. Fitzpatrick, A. c. Hall,

In the two-year-old stakes to-day, when
Eagle Bird was getting beat, he got up he

day. He will stand at Col. L. Vests next
season. THIS state seems to beckou many
OF the first class stations, Us hear that King
Wilkes will stand at Dauville next season.
He and the king of trotting stations, Maxey
Cobb, will DC received with open arms
They viii coin lots Of good ones, as the
moulds are 10 this state to carry them.
Neither will long years OF waiting follow to
prove their value, as from two
to four years old their education
is advanced SO as to tell
II they are made Of the right kind of metal.
These years Of suspense aud patience, wait
Ing Tor horses TO arrive at the age of matu
rity to fluid out whether they are trotters is a
thing of the past, in this section. This state
easily leads in breeding trotters; every year
brings its quots Of great younsters The
best ones of the new crop seem to be Early
