MAY CLARK.
Mr.. BATTELL,
OMAHA, May Il, 1887.

OMAHA, May II, 1887.
Mr.. BATTELL,
Dear 81 :-Yours in regard to the
breeding of May Clark is at hand. In
reply would say | am very sorry to in
form you that we know nothing of her
breeding. Mr.. McWilliams traded for
her dam at Valesca, Iowa; got her from
a party who was going from Indiana to
Denver, Col. She was carrying May
Clark al the time. There is no mistake
but what she was a great horse, as all of
her foals show great action. No one
would be more pleased to know the
breeding of May Clark than / would, as
she trotted trials last fall in 2:24t and
2 :25 and have a two-year-old fillv from
her, sired by Oriental, which is showing
up satisfactorily. She is in foal at pres.
ent by Chas. Caffrey.
Respectfully yours,
RICHARD WILDE.

MCKESSON'S GRAY EAGLE.

OF all the descendants of Hills Black
Hawk, no horse ever had more warm
friends than McKesson's Gray Eagle, the
sire of the famous trotter Charley Ford.
And so we doubt not that Gray Eagle
was actually a horse of merit. and any
thing which can add to the evidence we
already have regarding his produce is al
ways in order. We, therefore, gladly
publish a letter from Mr.. H. ii. Potter,
who says: Transit (Meraculous) or. g.,
foaled 1866, got by McKesson's Gray Ea-
gle, dam Brown Kate, by Brown Tige,
by Hills Black Hawk. trotted at the
Walworth County (Wis.) fair, held at
Elkhorn, -. Is, the seventh heat in
2:274, in a race with Resolute, with the
late Richard Richards, Titus Fish and
Judge NJ. Field. as judges. and Charles
Dunlap and j. c. McKesson as timers,
driven by G.. VI. Corey We remember
the horse that Mr.. Potter talks about
very well, for he was owned in Chicago
a few years ago, and could 60 fast then.
Mr.. Potter does not furnish the date of
the race. and we hope some one will add
their testimony to the above. Mckes-
sons Gray Eagle had a record of 2:42,
was a handsome gray, 154 hands, by
Coman's Gray Eagle, by Hills Black
Hawk; dam Lady Potter. by Signal,

playing was done on the field south Of

Of Messrs. John P. Armstrong and Chas.
Wilson, on the one side, while Bert
Raub, Albert Lewis, and W. E. Foard

more than three innings neither club
scored more than single run, and az
that point 1t promised to be game Of
more than ordinary good playing. From
some cause however, one side weakened
or the other grew suddenly stronger. It
was truly an exhibition Of slugging the
ball. No less than 10 runs were made in
one inning. Well ofcourse, this was ex-
tremely hard ON the nerves, of the losing
side. but they good naturally kept at

Cowantown is coming up with its
neighboring towns. At present it has
a bright future before it. A blacksmith
has commenced operations at Burnite's

a second one was to start, but for some
unacountable reason 1t has failed 10
open, up to this writing. A gentleman,
shoemaker by profession, rented house
and came here one day and procured a
load Of wood, cut it up into fre-wood,
and made some garden, after which he
went to Newark TO see if his family and
furniture had arrived. The next day
the report reached here that he was in

been unable to learn anything further.

still it is not 30 far ahead of Cowantown.
Now for comparison. st. Paul has
number of public buildings Cowantown
has one public (school) building 1t has
large cabinet, harness and steel manu-
factories, and we have wheelwright-
shop, shoemaker and blacksmith, which
handle the same named material. As
for railroads and freight trains st. Paul
has slightly the majority, as about 800
more freight trains run into that city,
than here. but all in all Cowantown is
quiet pleasant, thrifty little place, and if
it was about 500 miles from Newark, and
we had half show to get letter to The
