bought very cheap by Manley L. Pooler,
proprietor of the Fairview stock farm,
at Skowhegan, Me-, for $500. Since

general regret in the community
that this animal was allowed
to go away from tie state. There is no
doubt that he is one of the most remark
able colts ever bred. He is fast. strong,
good roadster. good for the track and
takes kindly to track work, and has
every qualification for stock horse.
Now that he is sold and will leave St.
Paul for the East, those WHO might have
bought him are expressing regrets that
he was not kept here. Won Arnim sold

ready discussing the effect that the dis
persing of this collection of horses is
going to have Oh the trotting interests
of Minnesota, and all are of the opinion
that it will be uufavorabIe. 1t takes
large amount of money to collect
and sustain such stable, and
no one knows where the man
is to be found with the means and taste
for such an undertaking. The late
commodore was always regarded as the
head and front of the trotting interests
of Minnesota. His influence was very
great indeed in all the gatherings of the
horsemen of the state. While he was
very quiet, spoke in a low tone of voice,
and seldom said anything by way of
forcing his views upon any one, he had
remarkable influence with those around
him: This came principally from their
confidence in his judgment and in his
practical good sense. 1t is not surpris-
ing, therefore, that the horsemen of the
state should have doubts as to the re-
suit.
