Herod,s Produce.

M. T. Grattan, of Isinours, Mimi, is
in many respects a remarkable man. One
of his remarkable traits is his determine
ton to adhere with unvarying pertinacity
to any well-formed opinion. Long ago he
reached the conclusion that the Morgan
type of horses was one of the best, and that
HerOd was the best representative of that
type. He therefore purchased the old
horse, and though now over 20 years OF
age he seems to have lost none of his speed,
and has record of 2:421s. made when he
was IS years of age. The produce of Herod
Is showing a good deal OF speed and in
every way justities the judgment of Mr..
Grattan in regard to the old horse, and he
is offering for sale five of his get two tillieS
and three colts, of very superior quality,
as follows: Hagar. chestnut FLY. foaled
1856, by Herod out of Topsy. by Rather

filly, foaled 1885, out of Cricket. by Tram
pie. son of Tramp; Hasta. sorrel colt.
foaled 1886. out of Jessie. by Bates Emperor;
Totem. bay colt. foaled 1856. by Trample,
son of Tramp, dam Magic by King Herod.
Totem is full brother to Tareta. two-year-
record 3:08; Tarbraid. chestnut colt, by
Trample, son of Tramp. dam Little Mink.

these youngsters range from $3.50 to $3.50.
They are all handsome, we'll developed ami
mails with every indication of being speedy.
Several of the produce of Herod are coming
forward as trotters. One of these, Tete, in
September last, at the territorial fair at
Huron OAK, took the blue ribbon and

for an upper town bridge and the bill has
already been outlined. in fact it played no
unimportant part in the recent election of
senators and representatives. 1t will pro-
vide for the issue of $780, 600 worth Of
bonds by the city to build bridge from
bluff to bluff. across the river. somewhere
between Sherman and Randolph streets.
Sherman street property owners do not
want the bridge and the next street to the
west is Ellen, which Senator r. A. Smith.
who proposes to father this bill. thinks
would be very desirable location. except
for the fact that the bridge would strike
the
WEST ST. PAUL BLUFF
near Ohio street in such a way
as to necessitate grade of
six feet to the hundred. which
is considered far too much. His idea is
that Won Minden street would be the most
desirable. Here the bridge could be con
Structed with grade of about two and a
half feet to the hundred and would strike,
on the other side. Cherokee avenue near
the union of Robe street and Mohawk
avenue. The bridge would of cOnrse start
from the bluff, thus running over the rail-
way tracks and the low ground between
them and the river. Mr.. Smith says that
there is no doubt but that everybody in the
sections of the city indicated. is heartily in
favor of the bridge and he proposes to put
the bill through the senate, as he did
through the house two years ago. A mere
glance at the city's development toward the
west and on the opposite side of the river
will convince any one of the great advan-
tage such bridge would be. and some
think it strange that this bridge was not
constructed in advance of the Robert street
bridge

A HindOO in the London queen.
The following aDecdote illustrates the
extreme delicacy of sentiment among the
Rajpoot women. The celebrated Rajah
icy Sing, of Amber, had married princess
of Harvati. whose simple provincial man
ners and dress subjected her to the badi-
mage of the refined and superbly dressed
ladies of the court of Amber. One day
the rajah began playfully to make
remarks .a8ou the sweeping jupon
of the princess. and. taking up pair OF
scissors, said he would reduce it to the
fashionable length. Highly offended at this
playful remark. she seized his sword, and,
assuming a threatening attitude. said that
in the house to which she belonged they
were not used to such jests, that mutual re-
spect was the guardian not only OF happi-
ness, but of virtue, and she assured him
that f he again dared to Insult her he would
find that the daughter of Harvati could use
a sword better than the Prince OF Amber his

Local Horse Notes.

Those who have known Commodore Kilt
sons stallion, BlackYOod, Jr.. The best anG
who have had the opportunity to observe his
gait and easy, lofty way of going, have al
ways expressed the opinion that he was s
great horse and getter of trotters. This
opinion is being verified now, for the colts
got by him while he was in the South are be-
ginning to show considerable speed. His
tive-year-old daughter Louisa, few days
ago, won a race over slow sandy track, at
Montgomery. Ala. in 2:35. The track was
from six to eight seconds slow. On an Ordi
nary track she has no trouble at all in beat
ing 2:30. Ma Overton's four-year-old,
Miss Woodford, by Backwood, Jr.. showed
2:25I. third daughter of his a few days
ago trotted better thai 2:30. Those VINO saw
the square open gait of Also at the races in
st. Paul last fall have no hesitancy in pro
nouncIng Backwood, Jr., one of the best
sires of trotters on the continent.
George P. Smith, the we'll known driver and
trainer of horses, was in st. Paul Saturday.
Mr.. Smith has, for years, had feeding and
boarding place in Hastings, where he has re-
ceived and kept gentemen's driving horses.
Having good track on his place. and having
had large experience with horses. he has been
quite successful in bringing horses out in
good condition. In brief conversation with
him on Saturda it was learned that he had
1t in contemplation to come to st. Paul and
locate He thinks it would be more con-
venient both for himself and his patrons, and
that with these additional coDveniences he
would be able to give better satisfaction.
Mr.. Harberder has begu q, on st. Anthony
hill, the erection of a large barn, which is to
be fitted up in good style for feed and
boarding stable, and 1t is understood that
John Dowd, who formerly drove for T. B.
Marratt, is to have the general charge and
management. The idea is to receive horses
to board, drive and train, and also to keep on
hand well-bred trotters for sale. Last eek
they brought on a very handsome chestnut
FLY by Nutwood.

to demonstrate that the thoroughbred pays
