GARDEN OF THE SEA.

| Whoever has sailed in a big steamship to
| Cuba, to the Bahamas, or through the South
| Atlantic, has seen after crossing the Gulf
| Stream, day after day, an unending process
| sion of great and little patches of a bright
| orange colored plant which floats placidly on
| the surface Sometimes it is only single
| plant spread out fiat with the leaves and
stems partly out of water; often there are
patches of from many inches to many feet in
area; again great fields acres in extent;
sometimes it is in streaks or bands continu-
| Gus or interrupted, u few feet, or may be rods
| wide, extending from horizon to horizon
This is the orange colored garden of the sea,
simple plant, without apparent root leafing,
towering and fruiting as it floats, the Sara

Taking to the dry beach masses of this
coral as great as l could lift, found it full
of life: little tiny crustaceans-w black
and red-minute, quick moving star fish,
green and black; black spined sea eggs; long
worms with double line of leg like points
on the lower surface and a leather tube, in
which they carried themselves; funny little
old mossback crabs SO hid by vegetable
growth as to pass unnoticed if they would
only keep still; a beautiful olive shell, with
purple mouth, like dainty lady in humble
company Here and there whelk or two,
nestled under a little shelf, with its button
like door shut tight. Larger and fattef
corals of dull yellow found covered with
parasitic life, such as tiny sponges, leather
like, fat, some yellow with many mouth
others brown and like n miniature volcano
in handling which there is left in the skin
spicule so fine and needle like that they
poison the hands, causing an itching and
eruption that lasts for days; waving alge
thread like sea plants of many plumey

white and brown, jointed, branching tufts.
Under the rock shelves We're bright colored
nnemones, siren like letting the shallow tide
comb their long hair. A little deeper big
crayfish, brilliant in gold and black, with
feelers twenty inches long, instead of claws,

the eggs of some creature; little collar like
rings, the egg cases of the niritas A fringe
of dead and brown gulf weed marks the line
of the spent high tide on the shore, with here

GRANT COUNTY, DAKOTA.

A Brief Description of Some of
the Trotting Stock to Be Found
There.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Milbank, Grant county, Oak boasts
of some as fine bred horses as any sec
ton OF the territory can produce, and
the example of the citizens of that
county is one that others would do well
to follow. Iii trip through that point
a short time ago., / had the pleasure of
inspecting some of the horses and of
admiring the good points of breeding
that most of them show. Among the
gentlemen who have invested their time
and money in the Improvement OF stock
are few that deserve mention. J. 4.
Mcbride is the owner of two horses
that for beauty and pedigree, it is said,
cannot be surpassed in Dakota. Buck
mgham is seal brown Hambletonian
stallion of fine form, and is the sire of
family of trOtterS among whom is Jewel
with record of 2;3415 to his credit.
Mcbride is also the owner of Consterna-
ton, a stallion of Hambletonian breed
ing, and while a heavier boned horse
than Buckingham, he is much admired
as clean-limbed, well-bred horse.
James Gilbert owns Il sorrel Hamble-
tOnian stallion, of which he is Justly
proud. He is a clean, even trotter, and
shows good speed.
Mi. Clark, of Carona, is happy in the
possession of good horse in
REUBEN EDSOLL,
a bay HambletOnian PAGER. He is quite
an addition to the well bred horses Of the
county. EX-Mayor A. w. Glenn and
William Shaw, at their stock farm near
Milbank, have a collection of registered
animals that are credit to their enter
prise and faith in the territory. AT the
head OF their stock stands beautiful
bay Clyde stallion, three years of age,
and weighing 800 pounds. Then comes
an English bay Shire horse, weighing
1900 pounds. This horse was landed
from London about six weeks ago, and
the last and least of the horses is a pet
of Shetland stallion that attracts more
attention than the big ones.
Guy Wood drives a handsome sorrel
gelding who has a trotting record of
2:40, and L. G. Drake has nice gold
dust mare that promises we'll. w. B.
Sanders, one of the successful bankers
of Millbank, has recently purchased a
very smooth pair of strawberry roam
trotters. Charles King owns black
mare that with a little handling will i'm
prove wonderfully.
A. w. Glenn'S white mare has a rec
ord of 2:3S to her credit, and the genial
eX-mayor occasionally ties his hat on
and lets her trot.
William Shaw's bay mare is quite
handy, and in these local option times
MI. Shaw has time to exercise her.
Ira Bradford owns a Red Bird run
ming mare that cannot quite outrun
Dakota blizzard, but she did run mile
III l 80 on half-mile track.
j. A. Mcbride OWNS a couple of good
handy mares that are fair movers and
are tritie averSe to taking all the dust.
S. G. Brannen drives Pioneer black
mare that comes of trotting stock, which
the very plainly indicates. This is only
a few of the good horses that Milbank
contains, but enough has been men
stoned to show that the Grant county
people are not behind in enterprise and
good judgment. B.

ALWAYS AGAINST ERIN.
How Adrian Nv. Used His Holy
Office to Crush the Irish.

Office to Crush the Irish.
New York Herald.
The following extracts from the bull
of Adrian ~, issued in 1156 to Henry
H., will be rendered interesting by the
late interference of his holiness with
regard to the plan of campaign. Adrian
". was the first and last Englishman
who occupied the chair of st.
Peter. Actuated, probably, by patriotic
motives, and from desire to dra
closer the somewhat loose ties which
existed between Ireland and the papacy,
has made use of the power, which had
constantly been claimed by his prede-
important an instance, of dispOs-
ing of all islands in accordance
with his own discretion. 1t was this
bull of 1156 that first formally united
Ireland to England and gave to the
English king some show of fright divine
to govern wrong the Irish people.
adrian, the bishop, the servant of
the servants of God, to his most dearly
beloved son in Christ, the illuStrious
king of England, Sendeth greeting, with
the Apostolic benediction. Your majesty
laudably and protitably considers how
you may best promote your glory on
earth, and lay up for yourself an eter-
nal reward in heaven. when, as becomes
Catholic prince, you labor to extend
the borders of the church, to teach the
truths of the Christian faith, to root out
the weeds of wickedness from the field
of the Lord; for this purpose you
crave the advice apd assistance Of the
apostolic see; and in so doing we are
persuaded that the higher are your
aims, and the more discreet your pro-
ceedings, the greater, under God. will
be your success. 1t is beyond all doubt,

Hon. j. G. Oswald, of Minneapolis,
has traded to NJ. L. Grattan,o of lsinours,
Mimi, the bay three-year-old Lucille,
by Masterlode, Jr., dam Nelly S, by
Swigert, for the five-year-old chestnut
mare Talvi, by Trample, dam Little
Queen, by King Herod, paying 5000 diff
ference. Mr.. Oswald got Talvi to drive
with Flora Belle, 2:2934, and the two
are said to make an elegant pair. The
phenomenal speed of Nelly S is well
known to Minnesota hOrsemen, and it is
to be hoped that her owner may be
gratifed by taking, in race, the rec
ord she is capable of. Her wonderful
performance as fiVe-year-0ld Indicated
that she would challenge Lulu, 2:13, for
supremacy in the Norman family. That
season, 1854, she worked as usual on
the farm of her breeder in the
spring. Later on very little training
developed such speed as induced Mr..
Oswald to give $500 for her Aug. "A IN
the presence of some of the competent
repeat over the Minneapolis track in
g:27 and 1925, apparently very easy
miles. DIR. Evans, Mr.. Ensign, Mr..
Caldwell and her owner were among
the timers, and some of the best ones
had the last mile in 2:22. In company,
however, she manifested the temper
that eventually retired her famous re-
lative Lulu. and Mr.. Oswald put her to
breeding. Last season, hoping that the
duties of maternity had somewhat
modified her capriciOus spirit, she was
again entrusted to a trainer who worked
her over the Hamline track. Supt.
Cross, a conservative horseman and eX-
perienced driver, tells the writer that
she - was showing a rate of
speed that men careful of their
regulations preferred to let peo-
pie see rather than hear about,
while others not so cautious stoutly as
serted that miles in PIG were within
her capacity. A rafting trial one day
of three heats, followed by incautiOus
cooling out, stitfened her. She rec0v-
cred slowly from this, and now Mr..
Beech has coaXed her owner to let him
try his hand. But such long success
sion of i'll luck has convinced Mr.. OS-
wald that a turf career is not to be
hoped for. A hint might be taken from
the fact that Green Mountain Maid, the
greatest trotting brood mare, phenom-
enally fast, a born trOtter, was too nerv-
Gus for campaigner. This is true of
many other good brood mares.

Majolica Against Belle Hamlin.

Turf, Field and Farm.
Nathan Straus, who will sail for Fu-
rope on Saturday and who will extend
his journey to the Bosphorus for the pur-
pose of visiting his brother, the United
States minister to Turkey, informs us
that he will trot Majolica against Belle
Hamlin on the terms offered by her
owner to Harry Wilkes, Prince Wilkes
and Oliver K. Mr.. StrauS says that the
Buffalo track is good enough for him
and that a mile and repeat contest is to
his liking. He wants Majolica to lower
his record and he believes that he can do
it on the Buffalo track in race with a
mare as fastand steady as Belle Hamlin.
Mr.. StrauS will not return to New York
until i'll the fore part of August, and he
will not allow the son of Startle to trot
in public until then. When the horse
starts he wants to be on the ground. On
Tuesday Frank Van Ness went over to
MorriStown and gave Henry Wilkes his
work, and in the afternoon he SAID TO us
that he had advised the Messrs. Sire to
accept the proposition of Mr.. Hamlin.
He likes the track, and he feels conf
dent that he will be treated as fairly at
Buffalo as on any park in the country.
The indications. therefore, are that
Belle Hamlin will have plenty of en-
gagementS before the season gets much
guIther advanced.
