NOTES FROM JAY BRIDGE. ME.

Having spare hour recently at the
quiet little hamlet of Jay Bridge, on the
Pennington branch of the NJ. G.. II. r.,
we called ut the stable of ;. b. Farnum
and took II look at some high bred trott-
ing stock which he is keeping. First
came the gray horse Straw Boy, by AL
mont, dam Jennie, record 80, by Blue
Bull. Straw Boy is large horse of i'm
mense bone, standing about 1Gt hands
high. He was foaled in 1879, and bred
by Gen. Withers of Lexington, Ky.
He is little coarse about the head,
like the Blue Bulls, has neck of
good length, rises we'll over. the withers
and has a remarkably strong, nice back
with smooth turned hips. We did not
see him out of his stall, but he is said to
have the true trotting gait. His speed
inheritance is rich one, his sire, Al
mont, having "a in the , 80 list, and his
dam being not only from the speed pro-
ducing Blue Bull family, but a perform
er herself, with trotting record of 80.
In the stables were two brood mares,
the first Straw Girl, by Almont, dam
Alice Drake. by AleXander's Norman: I'd
dam by Pilot Jr. This mare we saw turned
into the yard where we admired her ac-
ton very much. She is nice bay with.
out white, and is the most elegant, stylish
! finely-tnished mare we have seen fol
many Il day, and we would ask, what is
the matter with her breeding: She is
full sister to Alice Addison, record 2.2St,
and Altimo, 2.4l, and her dam produced
one other with record of 2.35, by an
other sire. Straw Girl was never devel-
oped for speed, but has bred several colts
and in February last lost twins by Blacl
Pilot. Next Nellie, by Murry's Brandy
wine, dam by Bay State. This is sty
fish, dark bay mare, and has bred several
foals by Straw Boy. Next Dalnea, by
Straw Boy, dam Nellie above; a gooC
looking dark gray tilly, foaled July s
1888. Next Burma, full brother to Dali
nea. The above are all owned by Mr.
Albert Alden of Middeboro, Mass. Here
also we saw Frank A., chestnut sorre
horse, l6 hands high with white stripe il
face and two white ankles behind, foaled
May 10, 1854; got BIZ Harry Knox, CPL
dam Rosamond, record 2. 800, by Young
Columbus. This is rangy, stylish
horse, and is owned by 5. b. Bailey o
Boston. a nice looking bay yearling by
Albrino, son of Almont, completes the
lot. One would hardly expect to fine
such gilt"edged breeding in place lik'
this, but thus it is all over Maine to day

walk to the hotel concluded the journey.
Here it was learned that the opening of
the ice meeting had been postponed one
day on account of bad track. This
was disappointing, especially as the
weather was clear and favorable for ice
sport; however, the party was not dis
posed to grumble, and orders were quick
ly given to S. C. Bailey, owner of Black
wood, who runs livery in ''ri," to have
two two-seated rigs at the door sharply
after dinner for trip to Orwell, VT.
The order was promptly filled and at one
o'clock two double sleighs were loaded,
and with Steve Bailey to pilot one and
Billy Mathews to steer the other, the
sleighriders were off. 1t might properly
be mentioned here at the outset that
Mathews formerly did service in the
Baldwin stable at "Ii," and is familiar
with every horse and horseman in all
this part of New York State, an acquau-
lance that the party found extremely
valuable. a ride of about six miles
brought the party to the stables of w.

WINTHROP MORRILL,.

From the American Cultivator.
We are indebted to the courtesy of j.
F. Mills of this city, who at one time
owned Winthrop Morrill,, for the follow
ing:
Editor Of the american Cuhirdtor -
| saw an inquiry in regard to Fanny Fern
in your 10Th of January number. There
was mare by that name which the late
a. W. Bracket of Pittsfield, Me-, drove
to record of 1924 over Mystic track
She was run one heat, and mare driven
by Mr.. Bowen won the race. The mare
was sold to Dunn Walton of New York.
She was small chestnut mare with a
very few gray hairs mixed in her coat.
She was mixed gated at first, but square d
out and was trotter, as most all of the
Winthrop Morrills are. She was by Joe
Hopkins, son of Winthrop Morrill,
Mr.. Bracket bought her of Edward
Jewett of Skowhegan, Me. | saw her
start in her hrst race at Hartland, Me-,
when Mr.. Jewett owned her.;
81 notice that some New England
breeders when writing do not give much
credit to the Morgans as trotters. | con-
slider Winthrop Morrill, a strongly inbred
Morgan, and no horse, living or dead,
under similar conditions, ever produced
as many trotters As he in proportion to
the number of foals got. Gen. Knox,
standing in Maine at the same time, at a
service fee of 500, got the best mares as
a natural result, while the cheap and
poor mares owned by farmers who could
not feed well were sent to Winthrop
Morrill,; yet under such chances he got
within one of as many , 80 performers
as gen. Knox up to last year Knox
sired ten colts to Winthrop Morrill's one,
but Winthrop Morrill's percentage of
trotters is far ahead of that of Knox.

ford, Mass. The filly. though late one,
is one of the most precocious on the
place. As the party pulled up to the barn,
weanling filly by Keller, out of the
dam of Bessie, was undergoing harness
breaking, and commenting upon her Mr..
Skinner remarked that she showed as
much trot as any youngster on the farm.
Twenty-three head are being wintered
and well wntered, too, with good, warm
stalls, roomy paddocks and big yards to
run in, where they can get fresh air, sun
shine and exercise.
THE HOME OF VERMONT VOLUNTEER.
Before reaching the Skinner farm, the
party made a brief stop at the farm of A
j. Hough, well-known and experienced
Vermont trainer, who has handled quite
a number of celebrities, including Ben
Franklin, Aristos, Lady Foxie and Wild
Lily. He is the owner of the nineteen
year-old stallion Vermont Volunteer by
Volunteer 80 (sire of st. Julien, aid, and
some good colts, among them weanling
by Blackwood that caught the eye. But
the pride of the place is a three-year-olC
sister to the Ben Franklin filly May Be
owned by George Hall of Boston. May
Be could trot in , 80 or better last year
and her sister looks as if she might come
out and do the trick during the first yea
of Harrison's administration. Certainly
a cleaner limbed one or one with a raciel
build was scarcely seen on the trip. !
half-sister to May Be was also exhibited
and was a right good one.

Douglass Not Snubbed.

Boston, Dec. 24.-Mr, E. w. kellogg,
who is connected with the Thompson
Houston Electric Light Company, has
just returned from visit to Hayti. He
says that the published stories that
Minister Douglass is not receiving the
treatment to which he Is entitled as an
officer of the United States Government
are false. When Mr.. Douglass reached
Port au Prince there was no organized
Government to receive him, but as soon
as President Hippolyte was indicted in
to office he gave Minister Douglass a
splendid reception at the palace, speak
ing especially warm and cordial words
of welcome, to which Minister Douglass
responded in most eloquent manner,
which made great impression on all
present. The Haytians regard Freder-
lex Douglass as a great statesman, and
are ready to honor him ut all times.

New Year Plans.

Now that the old year is rapidly draw:
ing to close, people are beginning to
think of 1890 and what it will bring. In
nine cases out of ten each feels that in
some way he has not spent the past year
as he should, and mentallv vows that he
will mend his course in one way or an
other. 1t is the time for good resolu-
tions. It is said that certain warm To-
cality is paved with that sort of resolves,
but they have their use just the same.
And while you are at it resolve to travel
on the best road, and take the Saint
Paul & Duluth-Duluth Short Line-to
Duluth, West Superior, and other points.
between which it runs fast trains daily.

doubt that the cause of his arrest as

The Appeal., 1889-12-28

Bishop Lenox, self styled, with his
other prefixes that the Lord only knows
by what manner he procured them, is
raising as big disturbance in Chicago
as be did in Detroit. He and his con-
nected brethren either spent their time
filching the public or quarreline among
themselves here, and il seems from the
dispatches that he hasen't improved on
his tactics since goingto Chicago. Every
one remembers the long gown that he
wore upon the streets here, giving him
the appearance of sanctifed crank.
Detroiters were extremely delighted
when he and his tribe left for green
fields and pastures new"
STARTS CHURCH.
"Bishop' Lenox first opened church
at 1919 Clark street which he called the
Methodist Evangelical Mission Church
and since that time he has been going
around the city soliciting contributions
support of his church. It is alleged in
that he claimed to be an A, M. E. Bish-
op, so the Methodist pastors of the city
held meeting in June, to investigate
the matter and issued the following:
CARD TO THE PUBLIC.
At meeting of the pastors of the
several African M. E. Churches of this
city held at St. Paul's church on Tuesday
June 1lth, 1889, at which Bishop John
M. Brown presided, the following was
passed:
Whereas, We have also learned that a
man by the name of Lenox, residing
some where on Clark street this city and
calling himself Bishop Lenox, has been
collecting money claiming to be bish-
op of the A. M. E. church, and
Wheaeas, The A. M. f. church has not
now and never has had bishop by that
name, and believing that the said Lenox
is not bishop; and believing him to be
a fraud of the first water and unworthy
of the confidence of the good people of
Chicago, therefore be it T..
Resolved, That the Right Rev. John
M. Brown the Bishop of this Episcopal
district of the A. M. E. church and Rev.
Knight presiding Elder be requested to
inform the public Through the medium
of the press of this action of the pastors
of the A. M. E. Church Of Chicago.
ORDAINED BY THE TWELVE
In conversation with a reporter, Bish-
op Lennox said that he was once cook
on the lake, but he determined to rise
in the world. He was made bishop by
twelve elders" He did not give the
names of the persons nor the date and
place of ordination. But he is perfectly
satisfied that he's a bishop as if the
twelve disciples themselves performed
the ordination.
NO TANK FOR HIN
In his church he uses tie Methodist
discipline, but does not believe in
sprinkling or immersing in a tank. He
says Christ was baptized in river and
everyone should be ''put under" rum
ming water. Brother Lennox has one
arch enemy Brother James Darcy, form
erly bishop of the church. Lennox
and Darcy had monkey and q parrot
time on one occasion and Darcy was ex-
PEELED from the bishopric and cast into
outer darkness. Brother Lennox now
rules supreme IN his diocese and finds
time to prod the fallen angel Bro. Darcy,
in his paper.
THE SUNDAY HERO.
Bishop Lennox is very illiterate man
and can make some very peculiar hero
glyphics when he writes. For several
months he has, with the assistance of
some white man, published paper
which he calls The Sunday Hero" In
the last issue he makes big blow about
