FROM ADVERTISEMENTS IN PAPERS IN
THE LEXINGTON LlARARY.
Below are early horse advertisements
from Kentucky papers. The immense
preponderance of thoroughbred blood
from the best sources, exhibited in these
pedigreee, goes far to explain the sue
cess of the Kentucky horses in speed con-
tests at the present day.

DIR. o. j. Evans of this city can give you

Dear Sir Your letter received, but |
can't remember telling you about the
horse you write about. told you about
Morgan horse that was once kept here

old horse when knew him. He left
some good stock here. He could trot in
$3.50, and was a nice, stylish horse; but

i can do you any good | should be glad
to do so. Yours truly,

KITTY BATES.
JACKSON, Mich, Nov. 8, 1889,

JACKSON, Mich, Nov. o, 1889.
Jos. BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sr:-Your enclosed letter some
how got mislaid and happened to come
across it to-day. purchased Kitty Bates,
gray mare, June %, 1867, at that time
eight years old, of Joseph F. Bates, a
prominent merchant of New York city,
l have letter from Chas. Backman,
Stony Ford, saying that she was full
sister to his mare, Belle of Richmond, by
Hambletonian O0), dam Belle of Rich
mond by Nottingham's Gray Norman I;
and in my bill of sale from Mr.. Bates he
gave her breeding the same. | do not
know who bred her, but | presume that
Mr.. Backman does, as his mare was one
year older or younger-he was not GER
tain about it. Mr.. Bates wrote me that
the Norman mare, great road mare,
trotted to wagon in 2: 800 in 1856. 1t may
be that Bates bred Kitty Bates himself
After getting Mr.. Backman's letter did
not investigate the matter any further.
All of her colts showed more or less speed.
Don j. Robinson trOtted in 2 80 as a
four-year-old, although the time was
given as 2: 36. After this race he ran
away and injured himself so as to unfit
him for trotting. His sire, Marshall
Chief, was undoubtedly the greatest
producer of speed ever brought to Michi-
gan. He has five sons that have 2 80
performers and one grandson; and he
had no opportunities in the stud worth
mentioning. He would have had more
performers in the 2 80 list had not every
one in his day been fighting against a
record.
DO you know anything about horse
called Morgan Black Hawk (not the sire
of Delaware), bred by Herod Morgan of
Pittsford, VT? Did he eyer produce any
speed, and what became of him?
Yours truly,
ID. B. HIBBARD.

TO SELL FRUIT At AUCTION.
Fruit Men Argue That This is the
Proper Way to Do.

Fruit Men Argue That This is the
Proper Way to Do.
New York and Florida are agitating the
question Of auction sales for the disposition
of the Florida orange crop, aud opinions
are diverse upon the subject As a rule the
commission merchants are the strongest op-
pouents Of the auction system, st means
said a prominent fruit dealer Of this city
yesterday, "the doing away of the middle
man"
The dealer went on to say that the auction
plan Is the proper way to dispose Of the
Florida orange crop, but he added that
there Is no good reason why the fruit should
go to New York to lie auctioned off The
place to do that is near wher. tine fruit is
grown, and no thi ks that Jacksonville is
the place whore the oranges ought to be
sold. New York, n says, makes the rest Of
the country 20 to it to buy tire lemons, nuts
aud grapes II imports, aud there is no rea-
son why New York should not go to the
place where the Florida fruit is grown, and
Florida fruit growers can compel them to
do So All they have to do is to refuse
to sell their oranges in any other market,
and the problem is solved.
Under the present plan, the gentleman
saws, that fruit will necessarily find its
way TO a distant market in poorer condition;
shipments VIII be encouraged at times when
prices are ruling low, and fruit growers
had better let two or tnree shipments rot on
tIoIr hands st home tnan in New York, for
il Is their loss after all when consigned. BY
the present loose system growers will ship
to almost anybody that viii receive the
goods, Just as Fletcher encouraged ship
ments to him, promising s. per box. when
oranges were as low as 81 and 81 so per box
when be ordered the fruit.
The gentleman vent on to argue that
Florida orange growers have only to make
up their minds that they will not ship, and
come to a mutual agreement that the
brokers' mus. come to the territory where
the fruit is raised, and it will not be long
until the middle man will disappear, and tho
price paid him viii ga TO the fruit grower.
There appears t. he no opposition to tho
auction plan except among the commission
men, but New York brokers would no
doubt raise hue aud cry If told that the
auction sale, should be more properly con
Quoted in the south where the fruit is raised
This the advocate for home sales says
would not prevent the success Of the now
plan, as Tia people want the oranges, and
brokers must go where they are for sal e.
In many ways the auction plan Is the best
to p otect the grower, and be should insist
upon it.
The experiment was tried on a small scale
at jacksonville two years ago, but the cpl
demic interfered with It. 1t is the opinion
of one Of the leading fruit dealers of this
city thai the auction sales should he re-
sumei, and that orange growers Of Florida
should decline hereafter to solicit middle
men 10 handle their fruit or t. ship any OF
1t on ccnsig oment BY this means they will
not only secure but maintain better prices
eventually and suffer fewer losses. What
they sell viii ring cash. and it will be more
satisfactory to them in the end

THE ATLANTA HOME.
Annual Meeting of an Excellent Local
Inst tuition.

Annual Meeting of an Excellent Local
Institution.
The annual meeting of the Atlanta Home
Insurance Company, one of the solid and
growing institutions Of Atlanta, and one in
which the people feel more than ordinary
interest, was held in that city Tuesday last
at the new and commodiOus quarters, cor
ner of Alabama and Broad streets.
The statement of the company's business
for the year 1888 was handed in, and con
tains many interesting features.
The total income footed mp $S7 644 70, aud
the total disbursements for the year
amounted to $G7, O57 Is. In cash premiums
$64, sos Al was received. The notes re-
ceived for premiums aggregated IS, 743 49,
and the interest taken in summed up SIS
036 81
The losses paid were SIS, 9l3 II, and the
dividends paid reached the handsome figure
of $4,000; S6S2 10 was paid in dividends to
policy holders. The total expenses, includ-
ing fees, commissions to agents, etc, footed
up S2l 40 36, ard there was paid for rein
surance the sum Of s., 500 80.
The total assets are S2S4 S3l 16, Of which
Sl3O,205 is represented by loans on real es-
tate. SOP $50 in stocks and bonds, and $685.
l39 25 sh on hand and in bank.
As compared with the receipts for 1887,
the premium receipts show a falling or Of
s., 000, which is due to a discontnuance Of
of country dwelling business. The losses
sustained were less than for the year 1887
by 1861 IS.
The reuort says that there has been q
marked increase of losses ia small towns,
several Of which have borne unmistaksble
gns of incendiarism 1t says further:
THAT the fire rate OF the country is il cress-
ing yearly and that instead Of enactng
laws to increase the burden of insurance
companies. legislation should cooperate
with the companies to prevent iucendiarism
aud thus save many thousands Of dollars in
al ultimate reduction of rates of premium
paid by the people. The defective hue is
also stated to be a fruitful source Of loss to
Insurance companies
The companyS profits for 1SSS we're S32 %
j02 70, out Of watch two semi-annual diYi-
dends Of per cent. each paid to stock
holders, amounted in the aggregate to
$50, O0O-and S3,0S3 81 has been carried to
the reinsurance reserve, leaving a net sur
plus for the year Of 81, 4l9 21-from which a
dividend Of 10 per cent on premium OF
annual policies has been declared, payable
twelve months after date.
The Atlanta Home Insurance Company is
managed by able and excellent gentlemen
the zsal and efficiency OF the Office force is
cgedtable, and the general interest Of the
stockholders and patrons is most commend
able.

ON RAIL AND CRossrIE.
Local and General Gossip in Railway
Circles.

The Wall Street NelcS thinks that there
is the best OF evidence that the Norfolk and
Western has not given up the East Tonnes
see, Virginia and Georgia, but still hopes to
get control of 1T in one way or another.
Just now they will have to pay little bit
of attention to Shenandoah Valley, which
will soon be foreclosed and reorganized.
The Norfolk and Western wants to get it
as cheap as possible, but does not control a
majority of the securities. 1t is by no
means certain that, as was the case when
the Norfolk and Western was reorganized,
there will not be more than one bidder in
the field. The Cape Fear and Yadkin Val
ley has an eve on the property and could
make it of advantage. After the Shenan-
doah Valley question is settled it is probable
that the Norfolk and Western will renew
negotiations for the East Tennessee.
The Cincinnati Enquirer makes the posi-
tive announcement that the Pullman Pal
ace Car Company has secured control of
the Mann Boudoir Car Company and Of the
Woodruff Sleeping Car COmpauy-in fact,
has bought the equipment plants and every
thing else belonging to the two ABOVE named
sleeping car companies. The price paid, or
the terms of the sale, is not known. About
a month ago the Mann B judoir Car Com
pany and the Woodruff Sleeping Car Com
panv Joined hands and formed the Union
Palace Car Company, aud Thomas c. Pur-
dy, who was president and general manager
Of the Mann company, was made president
and Charles G. Hedge, secretary and treas
urer of the Mann company, was made sec
rotary of the new company J.
c. Paul, general manager of tine
Woodruff company, was made general
manager of the new company Tho Pull
man Company, by securing the Union Pal
ace Car Company, now has a practical
monopoly Of the sleeping car business in
the United States. The Baltimore and
Ohio Sleeping Car Company, which oper-
ated over the Baltimore and Ohio lines,
Cincinnati, Washington and Baltimore and
OHIO and Mississippi railroads at one time
was taken in by the Pullman company
me time ago, and only the sleeping car
companies Of any importance outside of
the Pullman will be the Wagner company,
belonging to the Vanderbilts and operating
over the Vanderbilt lines, and the Monarch
Sleeping Car Company, which operates
principally in the New England states and
over one OHIO line. The Monarch cars are
chair cars and sleepers combined.
