The fun has begun at last, and in the
right way. 1t has been SAID that Vhe
breeders of Minnesota would never get
down to good earnest breeding till some
of them got by the ears about their
stock and matched them in races. 1hls
being done, the people of Minnesota
will witness an earnestness and deter
mination in breeding that Will BRING
forth as good trotters as there are I'D Ihe
land. Without this competition all the
breeders of the state surrender 10 one
horse. and bar him from the
races on the ground that not
breeder in the state mas coiG
that would have the least chance OF
beating Also. 1t is a c' ntest IN when
the result will, or ought to, be the SIT
vival of the fitteSt." II, however tng
breeders are to desert their colors ana
surrender at the first show of a fast
one. there is little hope for breeding IN
This state. In Kentucky and California
il is business, and d fight from the start;
Breeders fight to get the best stock, ana
then they fight vigorously to put theiT
colts into suitable condition to win, ana
wager money on them. 1t was PAD
nolicv to bar Also, and the breeders
saw It Immediately after they
had agreed to it, The record of the
race track among the Minnesota pred
ers shows that next to the Kittson
stable. WI. McGrath's stock has been
the most successful. Some years ago
MIR. McGrath bought of Gen. Wlthers,
of Kentucky, gray stallion colt named
Theseus. He was by Administrator 557:
bv Hambletonian 10. The first dam OF
Administrator was by AlmOnt ana Ihe
second by Pilot, Jr. The color OF ne
seus was against him, but his oreedlhg
is of the best kind, and there Is no rea-
son why he should not produce trotters
that will worry the best OF them: Be
lieving in his horse, Mr.. McGrath has
brought out his young SUCK, anu
so far, he has been more sue
cessful than any other breeder IN MINI
nesota. In the yearling stakes 1lppe-
rary' won in two straight heats easy.
Last year in the two-year-old stakes ne
won again. The time was not remafKa-
Bile. but it was sufficient to win the race,
and that was all that was necessary. 90
much has been said about I1pperary
that some of the breeders have made up
their minds to look about and see II
there is not something bred in Mime
sofa that can beat him. In pursuance
of this idea a match has boon made pc
tween Tipperary and Futurity Girl. the
filly raised by Mr.. Finkle, of Moorhead,
and sired by Early Pioneer, Tor SIoo q
side, next summer. The time and place Oh
the race have not been determined upon.
It is probable that the race will be
trotted ever the track that offers the
greatest money inducement. When
these two animal come together all UNI
usual amount of interest will be mani
tested. 1t will be a square race Tor
superiority. and this is of sufficient con-
sequence to make each owner put forth
every exertion possible to secure sue
cess. This is the first instance IN Whic i
Minnesota Youngsters have come to-
gether for real business. 1t is to be
Hoped that other breeders will initiate
the example and have contests for
blood. That is all that really means
anything.
