The GLoBE has already mentioned most
OF the horses now at the Mlnneap-
lis Driving park, but there are a
number of fine animals which have
been removed to the stables there the past
two weeks, notably those in the charge of
the veteran trainer and driver, j. E. Acker-
man, and owned by J. F. Applehy OF the
Irvine binder fame. Mr., Alderman was
called upon by q representative OF the
GLOBE few days ago. He was found not
only clever and successful Aorseman, but
an affable and accommodating gentleman.
He has i'll charge some phenomenal two
year-olds, horses that are destined to as
tonish this part of the country, If not the
world. At the head of the list comes the
beautiful chestnut stallion, Lakeland. He
has a notable pedigree: BY Anton, by AL
mont, by Alexander Abdallah, sire of Gold
smith Maid; first dam by Brown Chief, by
Mambrino Chief, sire of Lady Thorne,
Then comes the handsome chestnut mare
Pearl. q fine-bred animal, sired by TuckyhO,
dam by Swigert. She trOtted last
year in a three-year-old race, max
ing mile in a:454, which we
believe is the best time ever made in this
state. She has only started in two races.
Like all the horses handled by Mr., Acker-
man, Pearl is intelligent and well trained.
She understands her master as does a New
foundland dog, and does his bidding,
Irvine Binder is an extraordinary chest
nut gelding. He is TALL rangy, and his mus
cular development is perfection persopited.
He has veXatious and almost incorrigible
aptitude for running away whenever
speeded, so that it is impossible to even ap-
proximate his possibilities. It is
PERFECTLY SAFE,
however, to say that he is speedy. He
shows up fairly and is graceful. His habit
of running away, Mr.. Alderman believes,
is now in fair way of being broken. Be
fore passing into the hands of his present
owner Irvine Binder had his jawbone
badly shattered by some sort of a device by
which his driver undertook to drive him so
that he could not run. Mr.. Alderman S
ingenuity has been brought into requisitiOn.
He has invented five styles of bits, and has
now succeeded in getting one that pleases
the horse. Although naturally high-lved
and somewhat rebellious, Mr.. Alderman
has him now trained to all sorts of tricks,
and he gave an exhibition with him in
front of the stables yesterday, without
bride or halter. He will be started in the
June races of the Driving Park association.
Low Down is small black stallion and
a wonder to everybody. Mr.. Appleby has
become so attached to him that money can
not purchase him. He will not be 2
years old until July, but he can pace a
Giving storm" Yesterday Mr. Alderman
hitched him up to Black Bird, a running
mate, and paced him around the track three
times after warming him up. Some of the
best judges predict that when years old
Low Down will make it warm for John
stOn, but that is long way in the future.
AS it is there are many who are willing to
wager large sums that he is the fastest colt
in the country. No one not having wit
messed the feat would have believed it,,
therefore the time in which the colt paced
a mile will not be given out. When pulled
off the track there was not a
WET HAIR ON HIM.
Low Down was sired by Tuckyho and is
out of half sister to Pearl.
The black stallion Diamond is two
year-old trotter of great promise. He was
sired by Executor, the well known stallion,
and is nearly the same breeding as the horse
above mentioned.
as Low Down is phenomenal PAGER, so
is the black gelding Dandy phenonl-
email trotter. He was also hitched
up to the running mate and
exhibited. 1t was the eleventh time he had
been in harness, and scarcely knew what
trotting was, yet he went, although some
what unsteady, like the wind. He is
years old and will be started this summer
What his possibilities are it is difficult to
predict. Some think he can beat $3.50 this
summer. His breeding is nearly the same
as that of Low Down.
Unknown is another handsome black 2
year-old of promise. Sired by Tuekyho,
byAntar, and damned by blooded mare of
note. He has only been in the harness a
few times, but will be tracked at once.
William Parker, the well-known colored
driver, and the trainer of Mollle B few
years ago, has fine stud of trotters in
training for the campaign. Among them is
the chestnut stallion Glenwood with a
record of 1921, by Wapsil, and owned by
Dr.. Dunsmoor. He is particularly adj
mired for his staying qualities.
Prince Smith has a new acquisition to his
stable in green horse by SWigart and
owned by James O'Brien of Fergus Falls.
1t is said that he showed a mile in 1924 last
summer.
l.. A. Legg feels especially elated over
the feats of his thoroughbred mare Ollie
Beckett, in outrunning the famous LaBelle
N, and carrying 25 pounds more than La
Belle.
John Van Horn has just taken a green
gelding and green mare to train, and he
thinks he has got winners in them.

How Shall We Breed Our Mares?
To the Turf Editor of the Globe.
The question of breeding is an important
thing. Farmers send their mares either to
the nearest stallion, the cheapest one, or
the one owned by their neighbors who So
licits their business. Every owner of brood
mare owes it to himself, to his neighbor and
to the owners of stations to breed with
Judgment. By this it is not meant he must
breed to the most expensive stallion, OF that
he should send his mares hundreds of miles
away to breed her to the sire of the sensa-
tional trotter of last season. He should
first decide what he wants to do. Now that
we have decided to breed trotters, let us see
what is required. We find the following
elements: size, color, action and the market
value of blood lines. The judicious breeder
will always aim high. If he fails in hitting
the mark he will be sure to find himself in
a better position for the next trial. In other
words, he breeds to the best stallion avail
able. He must be better bred than the
mare. No sane man desiring trotter will
breed running mare to pacing stallion
and reasonably expect trotter. Wonders
never cease. He might get one. No horse
can transmit what he does not possess 1t
is hoped that owners of brood mares may
be led to give the question of
breeding that careful study it
deserves, and fully investigate the
matter A few dollars saved on a stallion
fee may prove a loss of ten times the
amount saved when a nllrcha ser Is sought
