The time has come when the people of
the state Of Minnesota are to have dem
onstrated to them that Minnesota can or
cannot breed trotters. Many breeders.
in fact nearly all the leading ones, have
sent abroad and bought representatives
of the best trotting strains known, and
there are now in this state members of
the George Wilkes. MilwoOds, Pancoast,
Volunteer, the Hambletonians, and
Pilot families. Besides these other
animals in the trOtting lines are crosses
of these strains. From these animals
some fine trotting should be produced.
1t looks as though there would be a
struggle worth seeing this year. 1t is
understood that there are quite num-
Der of fast two-year-olds that have been
bred here that propose to make hard
struggle for supremacy in speed.
George w. Sherwood has a Nutwood
twO-year-old and a Woodford Wilkes of
the same age. Mr.. Finkle has Futurity
Girl, by Pioneer, dam Miss Mcleod, dam
of Lord Nelson. Capt. Marrett has
Black Wilkes, a colt by Lumps. w. L.
McGrath has Tipperary, by Theseus,
dam by Tramp. This colt is very
large animal for his age and stands

yearling stakes last year without
trouble, and will be formidable COM
petitor this year for the twO-year-old
stakes. Sherwood's Nutwood colt out
of Dictator dam, or his Wilkes colt,
ought to be fast animals, and which
ever he puts into the race will cause
trouble. These colts represent the
Hambletonian, Volunteer, George
Wilkes, Dictator and the Nutwood
breeds. In addition to the above, Dr.
Evans, of Minneapolis, has good colt
by Red Wilkes. These animals repre-
sent the best trotting blood there is in
the United States, and a contest
between them will be an in
teresting and important event
1t will be game struggle for the su.
premacy, and it therefore becomes g
matter of vital Importance to the own
ers of these colts to have them in prime
condition at the time of the meeting
Some of these youngsters are now il
training at the fair grounds. The races
will be best two in three, half-mile
heats. Of course, the result OF this one
struggle will not settle permanently
the question whether or not Minnesota
is a great breeding state.
