St. Paul daily globe., 1884-12-29

too soon for three tired travellers, but when
we looked from the car windows IL was out
upon snow drsped fields. The white fakes
were falling fast when we stepped from the
station and were met by Mr.. VIM. Edwards,
who drove US TO his cheerful home on Pros
pect street. II was Mr.. Bonner's first visit
TO Cleveland, and many prominent gentle
men availed themselves of the opportunity
10 call on him. The after breakfast drive
was out stately Euclid avenue, which
was merry with the jingle Of bells,
10 the driving park. Here we
found Mr.. Gordon, Mr.. Frasig, Mr.. Sauu-
ders aud others waiting for us. First we
rode around the track so that the owner Of
Maud S could study the turns, and then the
horses in Mr.. Gordon IS stable we're led out
for inspection. Rysdyk, sire Of Clingstone,
is horse of high type. He looks as IL he
had plenty Of vitality, although be is nine
teen years old. He is by HambletOnian, out
of Lady Duke, by Lexington, and so the
great saddle and the great harness streams
unite in him. He has a good heal, a stout,
rangy carcass, and fat sinewy legs. He
toes out a little, but Mr. Bonner showed Mr..
Gordon how he could remedy this. Cling
stone, 2:14, strongly resembles his sire, and
those who have seen him trot know that
more smootly gated morse was never foaled.

under pinning. The legs have not stood the
severe strain put upon them. The right hind
leg is now undergoing the blister treat
mept, and il is predicted that 'tthe
demon" will be seen on the turf next sum-
mer The brother Of Clingstone, bay colt,
a weanling is handsome, neryy fellow,
almost the counterpart Of his distinguished
kinsman, and Mr.. Gordon will keep him en-
tire He will have more substance than Cling
stone, and should make a valuable stock
horse. Gretchen is again in foal 10 Rysdyk.
William H., 2:lSlT, has just been clipped,
aud, owing TO the mouse shade OF his short
coat he was not recognized at the first glance.
He is in good health and ready 10 show
rapid gait on the snow. Clemmie G., who
closed the campaign with record Of 2:155S,
is grand mare, and she should be danger
Gus in her class next season. She has all
the requisites Of racehorse-size substance,
courage and speed. George v, 2:20, looked
little thin, but he will pick up flesh before
be is put in training. Nobby is in splendid
heart. He gained a record Of 2:233< in the
race which he won through bottom and the
mastery driving Of Splan, and he should
lower this record next season. As he has
SO much thoroughbred in him 1t will
not do TO fight him. His sire, Nobby, was by
Garrard Chief, out of a thoroughbred mare,
and bis dam was by Sir Wallace, and his
second dam thoroughbred. He is a hand
some horse, and will improve his record II
treated right. The black gelding Guy re-
minds one Of Jay Eye See. He stands fifteen
hands, but has the muscular qualities of the
Star family, which he gets through his dam,
Flora Gardner, his sire being Kentucky
Prince. As a four-year old be has shown
half mile in l:065I, and great hopes are en-
tertained Of him. Mr.. j B. Perkins, who
sold him to Mr.. Gordon, bought him at one
Of Kellogg's combination sales, and for sew
eIal months he regretted his bargain. But
when be put the youngster in harness he
came so fast that the price on him changed
with every moon. Mr.. Gordon finally agreed
to take him at $40, 900, TO pay $4,000 down
81, 900 when he should trot a mile 2:2O. He
accomplished the latter task and all the pur-
chase money has been paid. Guy is the
name of Mr.. Perkins eldest son.
