troupe going out to Midway and looking at
his horses The commodore, with his accus-
toned poiteness, replied that he not only
had no objections, but that he would be
pleased to have the company visit Midway
and look over everything there. The result
was that Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Dan Wood
mansee was at Midway with his brother Ben,
the superintendent, and aided in exhibiting
10 the distinguished visitors all the animals
there. It was very pleasant to witness the
gesticulatioDs and the ordinations OF ad-
miration by the party when Johnston, Little
Brown jug and other celebrated animals
were led out.

The sale of trotting stock that takes place
at Midway in June next is attracting a good
deal Of attention from stockmen.
Commodore Kittson, Mr.. De Graf

the attendance OF stock breeders will be very
large.
Mr. Dan Woodmansee has bought the
wel-kuowu running horse Firebrand for
Mr.. ''Kittson that was hitched with West
mont when he made that wonderfully fast
heat. This well-kuown animal is bought for
Commodore kittson for the purpose of hitch
ing him with Johnston, or Little Brown jug,
or anything else that be has, with a view of
lowering the record. No doubt is enter
tanned that Johnston can go close to two
minutes If o runner can be secured that can
GO fast enough to relieve him Of part Of the
weight of the sulky and driver. No horse
has vet been found that could do this It is
expected that Firebrand can, and II he does
We may expect TO see Johnston still further
reduce his record.
