Chairman D. n. Inman, Of the territorial
central committee, called the convention to
order and announced that the territorial
committee had selected John II. Wilson OF
Lawrence for temporary chairman. iMather
Geering Of Union moved that ". Y. Quigley
Of Turner be substituted In place of Wilson,
and denied in emphatic language the right
Of the central committee to name the tenn
porary chairman. Il G. johnson of OrdWay
took the same view Of the case, and de-
manded that the delegates be left free totex-
ercise their choice In the selection Of q chair
man. Hon. NJ. H. Day, territorial dispenser
Of patronage, took the opposite view, and
said it had been the custom OF conventions
for fourteen years to allow the central COM
mittee to name the temporary chairman. John
B Wilson asked as q personal favor
that the question be submitted to q vote OF
tho convention. After q long discussion 1t
was SO ordered. The call of the roll by coun-
ties showed 1877 votes for Wilson and 115
for Quigley. Forty three votes from seven
counties were contested and were not called.
Mr.. Wilson made the stereotyped speech In
accepting the chair and referred to the con-
vention as the largest within the history of
the territory. R. H. Mcbride Of Mitchell

have been sold in the United States for
$50, 000, or above, as trotterS?
He does not state that when Alexander
sold his trotters at public auction il was a
new thing. and that he now sells thorough
breds at yearlings because they will depre-
ciate in value from then on, and keeps his
trotters. as they will sell for more than the
thoroughbreds at maturity:
MeSsrS. Alexander and Stanford both
handle trotters and thoroughbreds. If they
sold out at public auction which would
average the highest? Is it fair to compare
sales ill Minnesota with Pennsylvania. New

Local Horse Notes.

st. Paul is evidently coming to be something
of headquarters for the receipt and sale OF
trotting horses, gentlemen roadsters, an d
matched trotting and carriage horses. A
week or two ago we gave in these columns the
particulars of the establishment of Messrs.
Sherwood & Knight in the eastern part of the
city, where they propose to buv, sell and keep
for sale the kind of horses mentioned above.
Now we have to note that DR.. Bryant, in con-
nection with Mat Balfour, has established on
the corner of Mackuben street and Selby av-
enue large boarding and sale stable, where
they propose to keep for sale trotters and
gentlenen's roadsterS brought from Ken
tuckv and Tennessee. These horses are in
tended to be sold singly or as matched pairs.
They will work in connection with parties ir
these two states, and will have competent
and trustworthy gentleman in these states a
good portion of the year selecting and pur-
chasing, who, being on the ground Will
be able to secure many good
animals at odd times and from gentlemen
who are not breeders but who own one or
two good ones. and for some reason desire to
dispose of their stock at moderate prices.
This plan will have a great influence in in
creasing the rrotting stock of this state, and
will be the means of introducing here large
number of valuable animals.
Last week '.Knapsack'' McCarty, who has a
stable of trotters at Lexington, KY, was in
ST. Paul for day OF two for the purpose of
getting Belle f and Prince Arthur, belonging
to Aid. Long. and Panthud and Adelaid, be-
longing to Mr.. William r. Merriam. These
four well-knOwn animals were taken by him
to Lexington, KY, where they will be trained
and driven by him. The two belonging TO Mr..
Merriam will be driven as team, with the
intention of giving them fast record in
double harness next season. As both are fast
and level-headed, there is no reason why they
should not beat 2:20 to the pole.
A well-known breeder of trotting horses in
Loo. lxNfsa fnr
poisoning in horses TIe full particulars can
not now be given, but will be soon.
Mr.. c. A. DeGraff has bred his recent pur
chase, Empire Wilkes, to six OF his best brood
mares, as follows: To Drift b. M, dam of
Snobur; dam of Prince Edward, 2:241a; Or
phan Lady, dam of Oriole Acazar; Columbus
Maid by Mambrino Columbus; Winsome, by
Goidsmiths Abdallah, dam by American Clay;
Myoa, by Alexander, dam by the dam of
Bateman, 2:22; Madame Goldsmith, by Gold
smiths Abdallah.
1t is well known that Mr.. George W. Sher-
wood owns the celebrated trotting stallion,
Baymont. This animal is proving such val
liable animal and is so uniform in getting
large, stylish trotters, that Mr. Sherwood is
now engaged in buying up all his colts that
can be found.
