Among Ine morse C6lcDIlllSS thdb Ncio All
st. Paul last week was Mr.. ii. ID. McKen-
new of GAINESVILLE, Wis. Mr.. Mckinney is
the well known and graphic writer for the
Spirit of the Times, over the signature of
''MambrinO." He Is the secretary of the
Northwestern Breeders association, and
came to st. Paul for the purpose of confer
ring with Commodore kittSon as to the
affairs of that organization. He held a long
interview with the commodore, and it is
probable that the next meeting of the asso-
citation will be held at the old Chicago driv-
ing park grounds. These grounds have
been secured by an organization of gentle
men who have determined TO open them in
q respectable manner, and under suitable
rules and regulations. These gentlemen
have made proposition to the Northwest
ern Breeders association, and this was one
of the subjects of consideration between
Mr.. Mckinney and the commodore.
MeSsrs. Merrill and Scott of TillSonburg,
Ontario. Can, passed through ST. Paul this
week. on their way home from Kentucky,
where they had been TO secure another lot
of horses. They had a carload of hne ones
with them when they passed through st.
Paul. These gentlemen are the owners OF
Patron, 2:1914, a three-year-old. Patron
was by PancoaSt, and bred by Mr.. Meier
ran of Glenview, Ky. Patron was wintered
IN Canada, and his owners told Mr..
McFerran that if he wanted his colts to
trot fast to send them up TO Canada and let
them winter in good cold climate. This
is Mr.. Finkle'S idea. He is firm believer
in the cold climate of Minnesota as being
suitable for the breeding OF the trotter. OF
course the owner of Lord Nelson, a three
year-Old colt raised in Minnesota, was very
much gratified to know that these two gen.
tlemen corroborated his theory, and he was
also pleased that they made theremark they
did to Mr.. McFerran.
Aid Long has purchased of Mr.. Bemis of
Chicago the well-knOwn trotting mare
Bell F, 2:2O4. The price has not been
made public. There has been considerable
misunderstanding or Misrepresentation about
this purchase. 1t has been currently re-
ported that Aid. Long went down to Chi
cagO to buy horse for a gentleman in st.
Paul, and when he found Bell L he was so
well pleased with her that he telegraphed
back to his principal what he had found and
that the price was 81, 500, and asked if he
should buy; that the principal frantically
telegraphed back not to buy and that he
was not gold mine; that Aid. Long bought
the mare for the price named for the prin-
cipal even against his direction. and that
there was likely to be some fun in the future
as to whether. under the circumstances. the
principal could be made to pay for the
mare. Aid. Long disposes of all the
trouble by saying that he never went to
Chicago to buy a horse for anybody but
himself; that he never telegraphed TO a gem
tleman in st. Paul, as stated. about buying
the mare, and that he went there and
bought the horse for himself and proposes
to keep her for a while at least. The
alderman says he has not had her sent up
here yet as she has been clipped. She will
not be brought here till the weather is
warmer.
Mr.. Finkle, after consulting with Mr..
WOodmanSee decided not to put Lord Mel
son into the stud at all this season. He
has already gone into training at Midway,
where he is taking gentle exercise.
