Should be exercised, but not fatigued.
The proper amount of exercise serves

Il is safe to say, though, that ten

seems TO be : g neral idea that when
horse is espe IDLY valuable, as all STALL
ions should be, he should be given good
a'e, and good care is supposed to mean
all it can eat and drink with nothing 10
do. To treat horse in III best possible
manner is to keep him in such way
that he will enjoy the highest degree of
health, and this can only be accom-
pills ell by feeding the best qualit y of
food in limited quantities, and giving
plenty of exercise.

Driving Park, Minneapolis, Mimi. is
now completed, and the track is in the
very best of condition. jogging can be
indul- e in at any time, and better
track To jog on cannot be found any
where. The stables are all completed,
and some thirty or forty horses are al
ready stabbed there. Arrangements
are being made for an opening meeting,
to occur the second week in July, just
after the Hamline races. Considerable
money is being expended, and it will
probably be the grandeSt affair of the
kind that ever occurred in the North
west.

Blue Bull should have been named
Napoleon, for in all equine history no
other horse has won his way to so en-
inent a position from so low begin
ming. This once despised PAGER was,
considering his opportunities, the most
remarkable tr0ttlng prOgenitor that the
world has produced. Whether the
capacities which he transmitted to his
immediate progeny will be perpetuated
by his descendants is something that
trial must determine. There may not
be a uniform transmission of speed
capacity, but some of the descendants
will far twin hot l.

fused all food and was thoroughly i'll.

back to his old stable, apparently as
well as ever. The horse is now in the
pasture and is gaining flesh, yet he has
not regained all that he had lost
