| Mr.. Geo. Deveraux, the genial
proprietor of the Owosso livery and
sale stable has a fine opening here.
After looking over his commodious
quarters, will say that they are the
neatest and most convenient in APP
poiDtments of any it has been my
| pleasure to see in this part OF the
State. Here one finds the most Gle
giant and stylish turnouts that the
fastidious could desire, here also are
to be found the best matched and
single roadsters, not only for use, but
on sale. This gentleman has bought
and sold more fine matched horses
than any one we know of. He takes
pleasure always in pleasing customers
with good horses at lower price
than any man in the business.
The general horse business in this
section was never more hattering than
at present. Mr.. Dewey, of this city,
expressed himself as never before
having a more promising outlook for
the Owosso breeding stables than
that of this season, and at this time
of year. Scarcely day passes but
what Owosso is visited by gentlemen,
not only from this but from other
states for the purpose of supplying
themselves with fine bred horses of
this section, and well they may for
equally as good standard bred stock
is being sold here as in Kentucky,
and at half their prices. Two car
loads have been purchased here in
the past fifteen days and taken to
Buffalo; among them some very fine
young mares, the get of Byerl, Alb
dallah, for the purpose of crossing
them with the great trotting horse
Jerome EDDY that was raised here,
and sold to Messrs. Jewett & Co., OF
Buffalo, for Sa5, 1000
Mr.. N. H. Vincent, of Big Rapids,
Mich, is the owner of Mike Stafford,
by Joe GAVIN 564, dam Owosso Bell,
by Louis Napoleon 2o7, making him
a full brother to Cora Bell 2:2o d.
Mike is an elegant coal black 10
hands high, very stylish in harness.
His oldest colts are coming three
years old. Mr.. ]. J. Teachout, of
Big Rapids, an experienced trainer
and driver, has been breaking some
of them this winter and has fallen
in love with them to the extent that
he says elf he cannot drive the oldest
one in 2:4o or better this summer he
will forfeit the keeping and his SER
vices for handling her." He is SO
taken with Mikes colts for size, style
and speed that he went to Pontiac a
few days since and purchased from
DR.. Galbraith, St. 10, full brother to
Mike Stafford, blg 10 land rangy
bay stallion. His yearling colts sur
prise their breeders with wonderful
gait in the field. The price paid for
this horse was nearly 1000. What
a foundation the Owosso Breeding
Stablesshave been and are laying for
the future. 1t is well known that
Louis Napoleon not only produces
his own rich color and conformation,
but speed also. The record of Jerome
Eddy, 2:I6A, is liable to be beaten
by his Napoleon] get this season,
not only by his sons and daughters
but by his grandsons and granddaugh
tiers. And now comes 10 Gavin fol-
lowing in the same line. He has
some colts here out of Napoleon
mares that are unknown to the public
and known only to few here, that |
predict will surprise all in the near
future. We have on hand five or six
mares and stations of Napoleon and
Abdallah stock for sale. Any one
wishing terms would do well 10 cor
