The Mid,ray Sale.

A good deal of interest is being excited by
the announcement of the safe at Midway, on
Wednesday, June II, by Norman W. Kilt
son, C. A. De Graft and Geo. W. Sherwood,
of about seventy head Of young trotting
stock, consisting of young stations, FLIES,
brood mares and gildings, sired principally
by such stations as Smuggler, Volunteer,
Peacemaker, Geo. Wilkes, Won Arnim,
Blackwood Jr., Alexander, Baymont,
Indianapolis, Belmont, Administrator lue
Bull and Ravenswood. The terms OF the
sale are cash, rain or shine, commencing at
10 a. m. Catalogues will be supplied by ap-
plication to B. D. Woodmansee, st. Paul,
Mimi. The statement is made in full con-
fidence of its truth, that there has never been
offered in the United States lot of better
bred youngsters than those that will be Of
fered on this occasion. All, or nearly all, Of
them are from the best trotting strains known
to the turf, with good out-crosses. The list
was published in the GLOBE last week, and
that shows at once what fine lot of young
sters will be disposed of at this sale. With
this stock scattered through the state we may
look, in few years, for very decided i'm
provement in the value of the horses bred
here,

The Great Volunteer.
Turf. Fled and Farm

Mr.. Alden Goldsmith informs us that Vol
unteer is quite vigorous this spring for a
horse of his age. He is thirty years old and
he has to his credit twenty-three performers
with records of 2:30 and better. Five of
these have beaten 2:2O-St. Julien. 2:11I I;
Gloster, 2:17; Alley, 2:19; Bodine, 2:19A ;
and Driver, 2:19H. The Volunteers are
celebrated for their nerve force and capacity
for endurance, qualities which they inherited
from their dam, Lady Patriot Mr. Gold
smith will allow the New York public to form
the acquaintance of the great stallion. He
will exhibit him, if all goes well, at
the National Horse show at Madison Square
Garden, May 27-31, and the sire of St. Julien
will virtually have walk over for the prize
of $500 for stallion fifteen years and over,
''the speed of his get, their number and
record to be considered.' AS the stud fee
for Volunteer is $500, it might be more profit
able to keep the horse at home, but Mr.. Gold
smith is moved by higher consideration.
He has decided to run some risk in the way
of transportation in order to crafty the de-
sire of thousands in the metropolis who have
never fixed eyes on one of the greatest of stall
lions.

SHAKOPEE.

Tomorrow is charter election.
The city treasurer disbursed 1900 this
year.
The contract for building the new lime
kiln is let.
1t is strange that outsiders know all about
handling fires.
1t looks as if we had fire bugs in this
neighborhood.
Conters lime kiln is in full blast, turning
out lime at 75c barrel.
Everything is quiet on the Minnesota.
The river is bank full and still booming.
Outsiders had better let the fire boys alone
hereafter The fremen will be provided
with new hats. They will be the eight cone
hats.
Shakopee seems to be blessed with fires
of late. Hardly had the excitement attend
ing the shop fire subsidized, when up comes
another. Saturday night at half-past eight
the yell of ''fre'' was heard; and, as brother
Hawkins, of Red Wing, says, eve craned
our neck and ran" The fire was found to
be located in the hotel stable of the Mer-
chants Hotel. This was one of the most
dangerous places where fire could occur.
The locality is literally crowded with frame
sheds, barns, and houses; and the barn on
fire was situated just in the centre On the
south side was Rings large hall with mod
ern annex, distant only twenty-five feet; on
the east FarrelPs frame hotel and barn, dis
tant but fifteen feet: on the north there are
three small frame barns and Thiedi's frame
wagon shop; and on the west city hall
| O'Dowd's frame barn and Thole's build
ing. The barn contained about three tons
of hay, and the heat emitted therefrom was
terrific. Things looked scaly, but the fire
laddies came on a jump, and had two
streams playing on the fire in taco and three
quarter minutes after the first alarm. In
| fifteen minutes they had the fire under con
troll, and thus secured thei1 second victory
The boys covered themselves with glory, fol
if they had not succeeded in combining the
fire to this building, Shakopee's bushes:
blocks would have been things of the past
The origin of the fire is unknown, but is sup
posed to be the work of incendiaries.

Small Homes.

"Hopeful,'' writing of the recent sale OF
Small Hopes, says: "But if we take age,
tracks, circumstances, ETC., etc., into consid-
Grafton there is one that stands far ahead of
all others, and that is Small Hopes. AS there
never was horse that ever lived that could
stand the banging about from Dan to Beer
sheeba on railroads and across country, trot-
ting as many races week as he did, but
what he could beat and beat easily; still, [ do
not think it fair to claim that he could beat
Maud SIS record, 2:10H although 1 have
repeatedly said that he could trot, everything
favorable, in 2:10. But at that time so few
believed that 2:14 would ever be
reply to my assertion, only "you
are crazy" On several occasions I assured
Mr. Vanderbilt (his owner at that time) that
the horse could trot mile in 2:10, as I had
seen him go at that rate. This was shortly
after Mr.. V. had driven him and Lady Mack
in 2:23 to buggy over old Fleetwood, a very
slow track at the time, and Small Hopes
drew Lady Mack, wagon and all, the last
quarter, which not only made himself the
greatest pole horse living, but made his own
er and driver famous as double team driver,
before which time he was only known as
about third or fourth class road driver; but
since that time he has not only stood at the
head of road drivers but at the head of pro-
fessionals as we'll Mr.. W. H. Vanderbilt
assured the writer that he would not sell Small
Hopes for $3.50, 600, as he was such awonder-
full horse, either double or single; but how
things are changed Poor old Small Hopes
has been sold in his decline Of years for, no
doubt, very small amount. When l first
read the account of his sale laughed at it,
and said it was all bosh; that Mr.. V. was not
so hard up but that he could feed old Small
Hopes the remainder of his life for the good
he had done in making him first noted as
driver; but now, L am sorry to say, it is too
true. The old horse is sold, quite likely, will
be sold and resold until he will be the prop
erty of God only knows who, to be starved
and abused in his last days. Alas! for the
ingratitude of man. Maud S. may meet the
same fate when she is no longer Queen of
the Turf"

Dexter eight or ten days. 1 drove him regu-
larly, but speeded him only once, then Dan
Pifer had Toronto Chief on the track, and
was saying he never was a better horse, but
Dexter could lose him. When Hiram came
back there was letter waiting for him, say
ing to send Dexter home. 1 adj
vised Hiram not to send him until
he had gwen him a trial, and Sc
did Pffer, who said, He's faster than you
think So wrote to Mr.. Alley for Hiram,
who came with a party of friends, among
them Mr.. Bradford and Mr.. Shep. Knapp;
''Creep" Collins was also there. 1t was a
cold, raw day in November, and the track
was rough. Hiram drove him so easily the
first mile in 2:2411I, and there was such a
gale we couldn't keep blanket on him to
walk him that Hiram did not get out of the
sulky, but walked him up to the head of the
stretch, and drove him another mile right
away in 2:23A. I believe he could have
trotted third heat in 2:20. The reason
urged the trial was to have Hiram get the
credit of developing him in case he was sold,
or he never handled him again.

Hiram Woodruff and Denter.


fell into conversation lately with Isaac
Woodruff. who has experienced many ups
and downs in the pursuit of his calling. He
has both ridden and driven trotting horses
all his life, and also brought thoroughbreds
to the post, fit to give battle long and well :;
besides he is an intelligent, steady man, and
a worthy brother of the lamented Hiram. He
possesses an extraordinary fund of turf in
formation, and I generally get an unwritten
chapter from him in relation to some famous
horse. In this instance our talk drifted on
Dexter's early days. Said he; ''I remember
drove up to Hiram's house, with Dexter
hooked double. Mr.. Alley said: 4 wish you
would drive that horse to a
sulky, and tell me what you
think of him. Hiram put his finger
alongside of his nose, and sort of cutely
answered, No, no, George, he dumped you
out twice. 1 don't take no chances with
him. Then Mr.. Alley turned to me and
said: Ike, will you do it?' I told him
would, as took sort of fancy to the little
fellow right there. He was a d-n pretty
little horse, with a whalebone look about
him, quick to notice what was going on,
even to butterfly passing before him, and,
at the same time, was no fool. At this,
Hiram put in: You take your own sulky
and chances which I did, and logged him
out on the track. I found he was chock full
of go, but coaxed him back until got him
in quieter humor, and then let him step
off about half [ thought I never drove
one that appeared to say so plain, 4 can trot
as fast as you want me to-
''Before starting for the track asked Mr.,
Alley to come and see him 90. He laughed
at the idea, saying: what, to look at such
trotter? So, on my return, drove up to the
piazza, and boldly told them all: This will
make the speediest horse in the world, and
I really thought so. AT that Mr.. Dexter
Bradford gave me the strongest kind of a
laugh but Mr.. Alley remarked, Isaac, what
name MtllcVe give him?' 1 said: Call him
Dexter, after Mr.. Bradford This gentle
man objected, saying, No; want no such
Alley favorably, however, for he said:
Give us bottle of wine ::
Dexter is his name After while he spoke
to Hiram about handling him, but my brother
thinking he was a nervous, sl1ittish horse,
did not want to bother with him. took Hi
ram aside and told him. This is a trotting
horse. Don't you let him go; he's as good a
one as you ever pulled a line over; if you
don't want TO risk him, I'll drive him until
he gets more confidence At this, up came
two Of the rubbers, who had seen me let him
step along, and they were also full of him,
and said, why, he can beat Lady Emma
now which was the best one then in our
stable.
$50 Hiram took him and got along all
right with him. The next season he brought
him out but never let the public see the best
of him; in fact, did not know himself, as his
fastest trial was 2:29, but late that fall he
took Lady Emma and Honest Peter to the
Providence races. Peter belonged to Joe
Elliot; he was a present from Mr.. Robert
Bonner. While Hiram was gone ] worked

he will trot full mile in 2:20 this season.
Mr.. Vanderbilt is so pleased with him that he
purchased, few days ago, from Mr.. Fl. n.
Smith the bay gelding Rex, four years old, by
Gen. Washington, out of Lady Banker (2:23),
by Rysdyk's Hambletonian, the price being
$1,000. The two sons of Washington will be
driven to pole and they promise to make a
rapid team.

The HerOd Stock.

E. F. Nash, the driver who went to Mon
tana with S. E. Larabie, furnishes the follow
ing gossip about matters out that way:
''Harpoon's'' off hind leg was badly cut
and bruised in the wreck, but he is now quite
well and the leg is equally as good as the
other. y y < He will do to con
slider when about to speculate on the three
year old races. Harpoon is by Herod, dam
Nettie Morris, Commodore Vanderbilt's old
mare. m. T. G, is a very fine looking bay
colt, also by Herod out of the dam of King
of Diamonds. He is larger than his COM
panions Of the same age, and their superior
in point of speed. OF the twelve two year
Odds by Herod it would be hard to pick out
the one that will be the fastest. Prince Ed
ward is now, but they are all so nicely gated
that any one of them is liable to break loose
and down him. He has the advantage in
size, but he has longer gait and will need
more strength to back it up.
