ABBEY a. McHENRY's STRING.
Money Made While TrOtting the
Grand Cipcuit.

Last season Messrs. Abbey & Nc
Henry, of st. Paul, had one of the fast
est and most successful strings of horses
that went down the grand circuit. They
were in all the hard contests at Cleve-
land. Rochester, Buffalo and Hartford,
where the best horses were entered.
After the grand circuit was ended they
went South, taking in every place
where trotting meetings were held,
from Omaha and Kansas City to the
towns in Texas. Their string con-
sisted of FlosSie G, 2:1S14; William H.
2:25: Illinois Egbert, 2:25; Little
Thorne, 2:2314 Willie d, 1926; 10 None
land, 2:2334; Judge Rider, Wilkes
stallion four years old with no record;
Parkwood, by Nutwood, two years old;
Ollie Drake, by Sam's Napoleon, four
years old, with no record, though he
can trot better than 2:30. The above
are now at Freeport, ILL.,, wintering. and
are being driven moderately. prepare
tory to taking their fast work early in
the spring. Wilcox (pacer), 2:1614;
Lonetta f. 2:1S3l, and Nutmeg, 10y Nut
wood, 2:254, were also in the string
last summer, but they are not now with
the others are Freeport. They will join
the others early in the spring. Messrs.
Abbey Il McHenry will have still lar
ger string next season, and probably
some that are more speedy. In all the
races they entered last season they Sc
cured good part of the money that was
hung up. 1t was one of the three most
successful studs in the circuit, and the
owners made pile of money.

REWARDS FOR RECORDS.

Owners and Judges.

Drivers Must Pay Attention to
Owners and Judges.
NJ. T. Grafton, the owner of Herod
and the well-known breeder, makes the
following offers of rewards to owners of
his young stock for placing records on
the same:
AS has been my custom for some
years past. will offer rewards for rec
OrdS obtained in 1889 by the progeny of
my stations, Herod and Trample, as
follows: To any driver giving a four
year-old or under, sired by either of my
stations. record of three minutes OF
better, $50; of any age record of 2:45
or better. S35. For putting one into tine
2:30 list, 500. These offers are cumu-
latiye thus: A fOur-year-old record
of 2:45 or better would entitle the driver
to SO; or. four-year-Old record of 2:30
or better, S170.
These rewards will be promptly met
in cash this year as in the past; but for
my own protection, am obliged to stip-
uiate that no clandeStine special per-
formances will be noticed. | am as
anxious for the records as any driver
can be for the money, but to do me any
good they must be beyond question. To
this end [ shall require that the records
be obtained at regular public meetings
of reputable associations.
The authority controlling the regis
tration of trotting-bred stock demands
this in the LAM uage quoted. The re-
quirement is more than reasonable, it is
necessary, and drivers seeking to earn
the rewards offered above will please
bear it in mind. Nj. L. GRATTAN.

him. He is like his sire, only larger

Falls is Stony Ford blood all the way

by Messenger Duroc. and she out of
Lady Falls, dam of Gretchen, dam of
Clingstone, and he has record of 2:23,
thus showing that producing strains
will produce performers. The two

each other by a scientific blending OF
blood lines.

SOUTHERN MINNESOTA.
Two Good Stations Owned at
MankatO.

Southern Minnesota is becoming the
home of some good. well-bred trotting
stock. Especially is this true in Blue
Earth, rich, fertile county. The soil
is productive, farms are numerous and
well cultivated, and the farmers of that
section are all well to do, and yearly
coming out better and better in this
worlds goods. One noticeable thing
among them is the fact that many of
them are turning their attention to
breeding trotters. Blue Earth county
now has no less than ten standardized
stations, where four years ago there
was not one, and the nearest standard
bred horse was at CA. DeCIraff's farm,
at GAINESVILLE. This Improvement is due
alton. Two excellent stations are
owned by F. G. Zimmerman, of Man
kato that are among the best
of the standard bred. One is
Edmund, 1899, a chestnut horse,
fifteen and Jhree-Quarters hands
high, foaled in 1883. He is by Hull,
1889. son of Belmont, "a. Hull sired
Fred Hull, 2:2919; Vespasian, 2:30, and
several other fast ones. Edmond's first
dam was Clara Belle, by Enchanter,
son of Administrator, by HambeltOn-
ian. 10; sec md dam Clara w, by Wash
ington HambetOnian; third dam. dam
of Satellite, by Crawford County Cham
pion; fourth dam, dam of Erwin's Turk,
thoroughbred. Edmond has producing
blood from top to bottom, and through
all branches. He is a beautiful chest
nut. fifteen and three-quarters hands
high. and as proud as king: head well
up; weighs $50 in fair condition: good
style; Splendidly gated, and has the
best of dispositions. He transmits fine
gait and fast speed to his colts.
VitesSe, another good stallion, also be-
longs to MIR. Zimmerman. He is by
Gambetta. 1172. His first dam was by
Thorndale. 305. son of AleXander's Alb
daIlah; second dam by Evelina by Ash
land, AZ, son of MamDrino Chief; third
dam by Lady Patriot by Young Patriot,
thoroughbred. Vitesse is seal brown,
with pacing conformation. He is
fifteen aud three-quarte' hands high;
yet. as shown by his colts at De CRAFTS
farm, he breeds large. He is strongly
inbred to Rysdyk's Hambeltonian, his
sire, and the sire of his dam being by
sons of two of the most prepotent sons
of the old horse, while his second dam
is by Mambrino Chief. With his gilt
edged breeding, Vitesse is horse of
great substance, excellent disposition
and splendid trotting action. all of
which combined makes hin, one of the
most promising SireS of the day. He is
brother in blood to Valmer, 2:2414: trial,

PERCHERoN STATIONS.
j. p. Gribben Establishes Breed
ing Farm.

j. p. Gribben, while not horSeman
in the ordinary acceptation OF that term,
has been gradually drawn into the bust
ness of breeding. His business requires
a large number of heavy draft horses,
and these animals are continually be-
coming lame, sick and worn out. He
has to continually replenish them,
and, instead of purchasing new ones,
he has concluded to breed his own
horses. To carry out this plan he some
time ago purchased 260 acres two miles
east of Lake Elmo for a farm. 1t is
we'll watered and is part timber and
part meadow land, and on the tract is
q beautiful lake. Like sensible breed
er, he has started with tirSt-claSS stall
lion, Francois. He is dark gray Per-
cheron. and is recorded in the American
Stud Book 1924; French number, Is, 4S5.
He was imported by Leonard John
son and sired by Gilbert, and he
by Brilliant. Francois was foaled
March %, 1856 and bred bred by N. Have, at
the Commune of Theil, department of
Orne, in the heart of the Percheron
breeding country where Percheron
horses for generations have been bred
in their purity under government re-
Strictions, encouraged by government
subsidy, and where the fame of the
Percheron is guarded as priceless
treasure. The ancestral line of Fran
co.'s is uniformly distinguished for its
purity of blood, and is traced back di
rectly to the founders of the race. In
him is intensified their power OF the re-
production.
Giltert, his sire, and Brilliant, his
praud sire have won more laurelS in
the prize ring than any other sires Of

over 1000 Cigarmakers Strike
for an Advance in Wages.
New YORK, Jan. 1S.-All the cigar
makers employed in forty Havana cigar
manufactures in this city went on
strike to-day against a reduction of 50
per 1000 which the bosses made eighteen
months ago. The strikers are mostly
Cubans, with sprinkling of Americans
and Spanards. Their work is all hand
made and brings the best prices in the
market. For the past year and half
prices for making Havana cigars have
ranged from SIG to $40 per $1,000, and
the strikers want the figures raised to
the OLD rates of from SIS to $40 per 1, 009.
This is busy season in the manutact-
nring business, and the strikers say the
firms must yield in short time. Three
firms have announced their intention to
grant the strikers demand and restore
the old Rates. Over 1000 hands are out.

COLLECTING A STUD.
Miss Majolica sold by Robert
Bonner.

Bonner.
a few weeks ago W. r. Allen, who is
starting a breeding farm at Pittsfi cid,
Mass, went up to MIR. Backman's sta
bles and purchased trotting stock to the
amount of over S40,0 at one purchase.
Afterwards he went to Woodburn, and
made another large purchase. At
neither of these sales did he get large
number of animals. but those he did get
were gilt-edged. A few days ago he
went up to Mr.. Bonner'S place, and
purchased Miss MajoIica for whom he
paid $4,000. The price is large one,
but Miss Majolica is young mare of
rare blood and marked individuality.
She is by Startle, who trotted old File ct
wood ilf 2:19, and is out of Jessie Kirk,

a four-year-old, she trotted a mile on
the farm track with very little work in
2:223l, last quarter in 334 seconds, a
2:l3 gait. Mr.. Allen bought her for a
brood mare. and as she is from great
producing lines she is almost sure to
throw trotters. She will he trained the
coming season, and a record Will he put
on her. The high priced animals of the
gilt-edged collection at Allen farm have
been purchased from the eminent
breeders, A. j. Alexander, WOODBURY.;
Charles Backman, Stony Ford: Leland
Stanford, Paio Alto, and Robert Bon
ner, Tarrytown. The man who wants
the best must have a long purse and go
