There is a good prospect that Lord
Nelson. belonging to II. q. Finkle, and
Silas Wright, belonging to SimondS d
Clough, may come together. Lord Mel
son is well known in st. Paul, where he
has been most of the time since his
great three year-old race at Chicago,
where he made record of 2:264. Silas
Wright is by G.. A. De CRAFTS AleXan-
der. In his three-year-old form he trOt
ted colt race Oh the Midway track, and
since that time he has trOtted a number
of races, the last one being with M. L.
Grattan's stallion Herod. He is credit
ed with record of 2:2415. 1t seems,
though, that this must be mistake, and
that his record is about 2:25. If the trot
takes place it will be at the meeting of
the Southern Minnesota Fair aSSOcia-
ton, at Rochester, September toS.
The association will hang up purse of
$500.

II. p. Johnson, of Houston, Mimi, in
arecent letter makes the following state
ment about Morgan horses, that will
please NJ. Il. Grattan: 81 am thorough
believer in the Morgan horses for driv-
ing or any other purpose. | believe a
1000 pound Morgan horse is worth more
for draft horse than 1,500 pound Nor
man. A Morgan horse can hardly be
worn out on the roads. | have owned
two quite well bred Morgans, and they
have given me more service than any
other eight horses L have ever owned.
They seem to have an endless amount
of durability"
