Knights iine stallion, Onece, as he passed
up on Tuesdays boat bound for Albany,we
entered into conversation with Mr. Nc
Knight regarding the future OF Oregon In
his llne,and he expressed tho oplnion that
this coast would soon lead the world In
speed records, ain fact, the recent victory
OF Spokane, at Louisville" says Mr. Nc
Knight, "is but one OF our victories. Bogus
has the best record for haff mile trot, and
Blue Mountain Bell has the best record for
threc-elghlh dash, besides which the
two-year- old Oregon beats the record on
q half mile heat,of his class, And besides
this,the number Of horses that can trot un.
der a:so IN Oregon exceeds any state in
the Union for the population, and this has
all been accomplished within ten years,
The hne bloodcd horses now In Oregon
will soon begin TO tell In the speeds TO be
attained. Oregon will soon be noted for
It's beat horses. ~ West Side.
