Fine Trotting stock.
TN. GREAT Glenview sale.

One of the most noted and important
events in the history OF the trOtting horse
in America occurred last week when the
famous Glenview stud farm, together WIN
its noted retinue of trotters, was SOLD. Inns
farm is located on the Brownsboro pike, ana
extends to the river, and is distant from
louisville about five miles. 1t contains
CAT acres. with two fine residences, splendid
stables, mile track, and orchards, ana Is
conceded by all to be one of the very hnest
stock farms in America. The farm Itself
was purchased by j. [. Case, of Racine,
Wis, for S113.50 per acre. 1t IS stated
that Mr.. Case had no idea of buying II untll
he saw how cheap it was going, when ne
concluded to take 1t. 1t is understood that
Mr.. S. IL. Wheeler, Of the Wheeler q VII
son sewing machine house, OF chicago, IS
interested with him in the purchase. MI
Case will winter all of his horses at Glen
view, but has not yet determined Whetner
he will go into the breeding business or not.
The prices obtained for the stock were very
LARGE The great PancoaSt was bought by
J. III. Schultz, of Brooklyn, for S2S, OOO.
The horse was started at $4,000 Nut
wood was started at 81, 900, and was hnally
purchased by T. L. Stout, OF Dubuque, Ia,
for S22. geo. Among the sales 1t Is notlced
that two gentlemen from st. Paul, eacn
made a purchase. Mr.. George W. Sher-
wood bid in Lockwood bay colt, by Nut
wood, dam Rapidan by Dictator; foaled
1856, for Sf.025. This as viii be seen, Is
a sucking colt, probably not more than i've
or six months old. 1t is large price 10
pay but the breeding Is gilt edged. Inc
dam of this colt, Rapdan, was Immediately
afterwards sold for 81. SO. She was foaled
i'm 1878. and is therefore eight years Old.
Some idea of the price paid for stock at this
sale NAV be obtained from these two sales
The other gentleman from St Paul who
made purchase is Peter Hopkins, who
was formerly in the breeding business with
c. A. De Graft He purchased Prefix,
brown mare. by PancOast, dam Galatea. by
Messenger Durock. for which he paid
5000 C. NJ. Cl0ugh, Of Rochester,
Mimi, bought Some Day, a chestnut colt.
by Nutwood, dam Kate Patchen, by Mann
brine Patchen; foaled 1886, for which ne
paid 81. 800. This is another sucking colt,
and is probably about the same age as the
one purchased by Mr. Sherwood. Both OF
these younsters, are by the same Slre-Nut
wood. Their dams are very different. MI.
Sherwo0d's colt is out OF Dictator mare,
while Mr.. Clough's colt is out OF Mann
brine Patchen mare. Both of these
animals are TO be brought 10
Minnesota. and will have good effect III
improving the stock of this state. The dit
ference in Dr1ce will surprise many. The
Dictators stand in the very front rank III
the estimation OF hOrsemen, and it is dill
cult to account for the price paid by MI
Clough being so much larger than that paid
bv Mr.. Sherwood. The well-knOwn stall
ion Guy Ter. IS years old, sold for "a, 600.
Notwithstanding his age was against him.
this was a small price. Nora Wilkes, bay
mare by George Wilkes, dam Nora Lee, by
Woodford Mambrino. fOaled in 1882,
brought Sc, $50. With a few exceptions
the prices paid were very satisfactory. The
stock, however. was remarkably line and
was well calculated to call out large prices
J. l. Case, besides purchasing the farm,
was a very prominent bidder on the stock
and took large number of the best bred
animals. Z. d. Stout, OF Dubuque. Ia,
was large purchaser. He bought Nut
wood for $50, 600, a very low figure, fully
IS. 00O below his value. He was also the
purchaser of Nora Wilkes, mentioned
above, for IS, 025. A bid was sent
down by W. L. McGrath. of st. Paul.
tIIOCSI MI. OCOI w OuO1 HOOu' AOA ~
ceptor, a chestnut colt by Nutwood, out
of Precept. by Pancoast: foaled 1885, but
this animal was sold to G. c. Gardner,
Prince Edwards Island. Canada, for LILO.
MI McGrath also sent bid for st. Valen-
tine. a bay colt by NutwOod. dam Precept,
by Pancoast; f0aled 1886. This animal was
also sold, to go to Vermont, for 81, $50.
One mare, ReginaV ictOria, eleven years old,
by Hambletonian, sold for 81, OBS.
This sale should be lesson to breeders
in Minnesota. The breeding of the trotting
horse is very important matter to the
state as well as to the breeder In this in
duStry or occupation we are in our infancy.
It is best to start right, and that cannot be
done unless breeders purchase the best tr0t-
ting stock that can be had. This sale shows
that the best stock will bring the stiffest
prices. and that is what breeders want. If
the beginning of a breeding farm is laid in
second class stock because it is cheap, the
farm will soon be crowded with poor stock
and there will be no sale for it. With first
class to begin with there will be no trouble
at all. Get the best to start with, or don't
touch the business at all.
