= FOCAL HORSE NOTES.
Mr.. ]. B. Cook has in his possession horse
that he calls Old Grey Eagle. He was formerly
grey, but he is now 26 years of age and
has grown to be almost white and is well flea
bitten. He is about sixteen hands high and
for years has been used by Mr.. Cook as
roadster, and his owner thinks there never
was a roadster that his equal.
The animal is now 26 years old
and mis- owner says he shall never again be
made to wear q harness as long as he lives
and can prevent it. Old Grey Eagle is in ex-
cellent health and has box stall to himself
and large yard attached to it to which he
has free access. Mr.. Cook says that no sum
of money will ever buy him and that he pro-
poses to have the faithful animal spend his
last days in ease and comfort.
The following is the corrected list of the
entries made for the great $4,000 stake at
Hartford, Conn, Sept J. This is always the

The sensational event of the Rochester, N
Y, meeting was furnished by the st. Paul
mare Belle +, who defeated the great Bonnie
McGregor, after forcing him to lower his
record to 2:l6 in the second heat. This effort
was too much for him and the third and
fourth heats were won by Belle F, who had
already taken the first. She was very closely
compelled to trot the mile in 2:17 thus lower
ing her record three and three-quarter Sec
ones. This mare is owned in St Paul be-
longing to w. r. Merriam.
MIR. S. G. Cook, who delights in a thorough
bred horse, recently purchased back Thorn
ton Moore, by Tom Bowling Mr.. Cook

/ aac Staples of Saltwater. All through the
season he has been running at the various
racing meetings in Kentucky. Heis grand

A number of the youngsters entered in the
Minnesota breeders stakes to be contested at
the coming state fair have been suffering

ported have had it SO badly that they will
be unable to start in the stakes for which
they have been entered.
