A Good st. Paul Horse.

To the Sporting Editor of the Globe.
ST. PAUL, Aug. 4, 1SS4.-It may interest
your many readers to know that Robinson,
the sire of Emery's Alexander, the new seven
year old horse that has made himself famous
this season by win ming almost every race all
through Iowa in which he has been engaged.
making q record of 2:26%, and showing
ability to cause those who have observed him
closely to believe he will go into winter quar-
tiers with a record of 2:20, and he is peril
nently brought to our notice by the an
nouncement in your issue of the 2Sth ult.
that he is to trot against NJ j. Grattan's
Herod at La Crosse two weeks hence, was
raised in st. Paul by G. A. B. Shave, who
sold him to c. L. Hood, of La Crosse. As
Mr.. Hood reports Emery's Alexander's dam
as a very ordinary mare, possessing neither
speed nor style, and breeding unknown, we
may fairly attribute nearly If not quite all
credit due Robinson for the worth of his son,
whose success in trotting has been as marked
as sudden. Robinson was sired By Swigert,
dam, Lady dam of SIerrinack, dam of Gala
mus ;24l4 that so handily defeated
Frank Fiske at Minneapolis, though he trot-
ted the best race of his life, and was driven
by Ben Woodmansee, as many there re-
marked better than he ever before drove, the
mare-Calamus by Swigert-as afterwards
sold for 81, 600; Meuimack also dam of
Hughey Angus. also by Swigert, and sire of
the four year old pace-1 1885, half mfle)
Lady by Whitestoekings ives horsel first
son of Richards Belhounder; second dam
by Rockingham, a prize horse from Ohio
near 10 wears ago, and of considerable merit:
Whitestocking's dam by Leopold (nearly
thoroughbredo by 0llinois) Leopold (thor-
oaghhred) Dy ogie's Oscar. The twice break
ing of the trotting record on the closing two
days Of last week by two animals suggests
consideration of their breeding, especially
as to the maternal side; tie dams of both
these wonderful trotters-Maud. s. and Jay
Eye See-were sired by Pilot, Jr., Miss Rus
sell having produced Mr.. yanderbilt's queen
OF the turf, and Midnight produced the only
less famous gelding of Mr.. Case. As the
blood Of the wonderful horse, Pilot. Jr.. is so
strikingiy potent in It's influence in the pro
duction Of tAs very fastest trotters in the

Especial Correspondence OF the Globe
As matter of justice. to the people of Alex
andria, Unjust here repeat some portions of two
kilograms filed at the Western Union Office in
that place at 40 and II 40 Friday evening, but
which, owing to the willful perverseness of the
operator in charge, did not reach St. Paul until
too late for Saturday mornings GLOBE.
Upon arrival at Alexandria great concourse
Of people were found at the station with carri-
ages, which the party was invited to occupy for
drive out to Lake LIE Homme Dieu, distance Of
four miles. Prior to the drive, the band, led by
Sitting Bull Tor his prototype, dining car
waiter), marched up Main street, giving the
Alexandrians some fine music. Arrived at the
lake sandwich lunch was served, and the party
crossed the crystal water, entered Lake
Geneva and landed at the Alex
andra hotel at. Geneva beach hay-
ing had row boat ride of six miles, which oc-
cupied forty minutes. Later the sailors returned
to town by train, and supper was served at the
Letson house, and al fine one it was. An evening
meeting was held at the Opera house, at which
Hon. Knute Nelson presided, making a capital
speech of welcome and compliment. The band
and glee club furnished music, Mr.. White, among
the selections, singing Byrons ''Maid of Athens"
an exquisite solo. The speakers of the evening
were Gen. Baker, Col. Scheffer Mr.. Dean and
Judge Chandler
The politeness of Mr.. G. G. Sims of the hard
ware firm of Sims and Jenkins, gave me drive
about the town and its picturesque surround
ings, pointing out number of fine residences,
the new school house, and giving me some points
which are summarized as follows: The popula-
ton of Alexandria is estimated at $780, twoifths
of whom are Americans and the remainder Scan
dinavians, Germans and Canadians. Lakes Win
ona and Agnes adjoin the village, and Lakes
Victoria, Geneva, LIE Homme, Diese, Carlos,
Darling, Satoka, and others, are from one
to two miles distant, and vary in size from two
to ten miles in circumference. Half dozen
churches are represented in the city, and there
are six schools, with buildings costing $4,000;
handsome court house and substantial Jail.
Among its manufactures are steam Touring
mills, three breweries, and pillow and sled fac
tory. The two elevators have combined capacity
100000 bushels, and there are several general
stores, three dry goods and clothing stores,
three hardware stores, three furniture stores,
four drug stores and eight saloons. There are
four hotels, ond one bank, capital $4,000 and
fine opera house. AS grain region it surpas SEES
many otherportions of Minnesota, and ranks
second to none.
