Wiuteripo stocl. In Minnesofa.

TIL statement made in these columns
week or two ago, to the effect that Mr.. c. a.
DeGrafT kept his stock under open sheds all
winter, both day and night, with liberty TO
run about loose as much as they please,
with the mucury from Is to 20 below, sur
prised good many people, and has caused
some to make inquiries concerning the mat
ter People appear TO be Of the opinion that
horses bred for trotting or running purposes
cannot endure exposure to the extremee OF
cold, such as we have here in Minnesota.
This is a great mistake. Mr.. Post, OF Fari'
bault, keeps his Hambletonian aud Volunteer
stock in common frame barns. The stock
runs out all day and at night
when the animals go into the
barn they are merely protected in measure
from the winds. So far as the cold Is
concerned it is no warmer in the barn than
it is outside. Other breeds of stock do about
the same thing all through the state of Min
nesota. Mr.. DeGraff has bis own plan. He
has piece Of woods on his stock farm that
aces to the south. On the south side of this
piece of woods he has cut out three or four
acres of trees, and in this opening in the
woods he has erected these open sheds,
and it is under these open
sheds that he keeps his stock
all winter. The stock is supplied with all the
hay needed at all times so that the animals
can eat all they want whea they want it. At
night the horses remain under the sheds. In
the day time they run loose. The result is
that all the animals are protected by the sheds
and the woods from the wind and have moth
ing but hay to eat. In the spring they come
out fat, healthy and rugged. This is the sim
pie story of the whole business. This dem
onstrates that the stock can stand the cold
andthat 1t will thrive under this treatment.

The Nctc YorL: DrfcinD Club.
Turf. Field & Farm

On Thursday night of last week the annual
election of the New York Driving club was
held. All the old officers, from President
David Bonner down, declined TO serve again,
feeling that they had done enough work, and
the change of blood was complete. The
new president, Mr.. J. D. Ripley, is promi-
nent gentleman and a horse owner, and he
will honor the position 10 which he is elected.
The vice president, Mr.. r. A. Compton, is
also well known, aud he will have plenty of
room for the display of energy. Among
the horses owned by him is Maud Mes
senger. Mr.. A. de Cordova, the treas
urer, has a knowledge of finance,
and he is popular with the members. Mr.
G. c. Barnette, the secretary, is an active
gentleman, and II is predicted that he will
quickly master the details of his rather labor
ious office. The members Of the executive
committee are w. F. Kidder, John =. Smith,
W. H. Hamilton, Nathan Straus aud Chas
w. Lawrence, all gentlemen Of capacity and
experience. The New York Driving club has
strong membership list, and we hope it will
hang up rich prizes Of a trotting meeting in
1884. AS IL has more than 1l,000 In the
treasury, it can well afford to take the risk.
The lease Of the track has been extended for
two years at an annual rental of $1,000.

SENATOR HARRIsoN's CANDIDACY.
A Long Debate in the Indiana Delegation on
the Question without Result


the Question without Result.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, June 2-As was stated yesterday,
an effort was made to induce Indiana to put
Gen. Harrison into the convention as Il possible
rallying point under the offers of support made
by the Edmunds men and from delegates from
Ohio, New Jersey and other States This was
the question the delegation met to day to CON
sider The objections to it were on the part of
some of the pronounced supporters of Gen.
Gresham, who seemed to think that such action
would preclude any chance for him in any event;
also, by some who were personally unfriendly to
the Senator. There We're also objections
urged by one or two who felt a
strong desire to cast their votes
for Mr.. Blaine, and who really believe he will be
the nominee. The putting of General Harrison
in the field at once was urged upon the delegates
by such men as Senator Plumb, of Kansas, Sen
ator Hoar of Massachusetts, Mr.. Wharton
Barker, Mr.. Roosevelt and other representative
men from outside States. 1t was not the desire
of either the Senator or his friends to force his
candidacy but his friends understood it to be
the understanding that If there were indications
receive the hearty support of the State.
It was urged that inasmuch as
General Gresham could not become candidate
until President Arthur was out of the way, it
was not proper for General Harrison to be made
one; but it replied that it was not wise for
the State to throw away possible opportunity
for contingency that might never happen and
that good faith insview of these outside proffers
demanded that the Senator should be named, and
the State given its chance.
The matter debated for time in the
morning, and again at the afternoon session, be-
ginning at O'clock a resolution being of
cred to present General Harrison as the
candidate of Indiana. The discussion lasted
until after o'clock, when an adjournment was
taken until morning. Mr.. Baker says the reso-
luton viii pass in the morning
The outside persons prominent in the move
ment urge that Harrison s name be presented
and that Indiana give him all her votes
During to-day Mr. Rocker has filed
General Harrison's place. but many of the Sena-
tors friends are anxious that the existing stat
us should not longer continue, and that he
should take his position with the delegation,

ing to allow Indiana to have candidate Judge
