The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1886-06-26

quite q common thing for horses to
pass the rounds from one official to an
other until they are finally sold at auc-
ton and meet their fate in the shape of
a twO-wheeled cab, which is hitched to
them for the rest of their days.
The horses driven by Mr.. Evarts in
1868 drew Secretary Chambers car
rage during his term in the Cabinet,
and are now doing duty on,the street to
public eonveyances.
The horses driven by the Postmaster.
General have done duty at the depart
ment for mady years. Attorney-Gen-
eFal Garland has no horses. Lamar
has no use for a horse except when
he's astride it, and then he is not par
ticular as to the kind. Many of the
fine-looking equipages at the capital
that pass for private are hired by the
month from livery-stables. The French
Minister gets the credit of having one
of the finest private turnouts He hires
it from large stable here, paying one
hundred and seVenty-fiVe dollars per
month. Admiral Temple, who lives in
considerable style at the Portland, hires
his equipage.
There are some fine teams driven
here, but they are a small minority
among those that make pretensions.
The finest horses, except Senator
Stanford's celebrated team, are those
driven by Representative Scott, of Erie.
They have not been here long. They
are light bays, with black points all
around, and are but five years old.
They are valued at two thousand five
hundred dollars. They are driven to
very stylish turnout by a coachman
whom he pays one hundred dollars per
month and living
General Singleton drives fine team,
and so does the British Minister. Mr..
Palloch has two fine horses. Those
driven by the Japanese Minister used
to be beauties, but they have grown
old in service and are only keeping up
appearances, like woman bellies. Rep
resentative Fisher, of Michigan, has a
good team. Hon. William Walter
Phelps has very fine horses, as has Hon.
Robert R. Hit, also. Senator Evarts
has two new horses of good Kentucky
stock. They are very dark brown.
Senator Cameron has two clipped
bays, which he values at $1,000. He
drives them to coupe and broug-
ham. He has white driver in green
livery. Senator Payne drives two big
bays. Hon. Warner Miller's coachman
claims that his Hambletonian bays can
trot to the pole in three minutes. In
full livery the turnout is very stylish.
Senator Allison's horses make no pre-
tensions to style. Senator Stanford
doesn't drive his fast horses to his car
rage. His carriage horses are a pair
of Seventeen-hands-high blacks, max
ing an immense team in a heavy silver
harness. The livery is black, with big
black rosettes on the hats. The drivers
: are white.
OF the old citizens here, General Beale
probably has the best livery. He is a
| great horseman, and the horses he
drives have good blood in them, but
r they are a little old. His carriage
horses do not match in color. One il
I a dun and the other a dark bay. Hi!
turnout is quite attractive. Ex-Sena
g tor Yulee has black equipage-blacl
t driver, black livery, black coach anC
r black horses. Ex-Secretary Robson
/. rotund person lies lazily back in
Il handsome coupe, drawn by two fin
o horses-one sorrel and the other gra,
: which are held in by coachmai
/ with broad, patent-leather band Oh
a his hat. W. w. Corcoran's horses ar
= handsome, but old. Senator Sabin'
stable consists of pair of black Ham
bletonians, valued at $4,000, large
black coupe horse valued at $500, anC
another valued at 81, 800. The fines
n teams seen on the streets of the capita
are those that are here only tempors
