MR.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Sr:-I wish to inquire of you and
through your paper of horse that was
in West Rutland in 1896, called the
Corasal Horse. He was left in Rutland
by circus company. In performing he
broke his shoulder and was left under
the care of Mr.. Zoogins, who kept him
number of years; he served many
mares and got some fine colts. lie was
bay horse with one quarter of his tail
white. Now did the Hambletonians
spring from this stallion? Some of his
colts were gray and some cream color,
but mostly bay. | should not have
asked you anything in regard to this
horse only | saw him in 1889; he was
thought by Godeer to be quite old. near
thirty at that time. There was one of
his colts around this town in 1910, owned
by Daniel Pratt. She had all the char
acteristics of the horse in looks eXcept
color, which was dark grey of the liam
bletonans; she was great horse on
the road.
If remember right, think | was one
of party of three that drove from
Windsor to Weathersfield, which is nine
miles, in thirty-eight minutes. have
driven her ten and twelve and once
fourteen miles in one hour. She raised
one or two colts quite speedy, but most
of them slow.
a Mr.. Samuel Weston, late of Chester,
VT, owned one of the mares of that
stock that raised some very fine colts.
There was some spirit about him. If
he heard a fiddle or drum, he was there
as long as there was any music; did not
make any difference who was driving
him. he would have his dance out. If
Mr.. Wooley of Rutland could give any
further information about this horse |
should like to hear from him.

last night was such an unmistakable
and hearty greeting as friend gives to

played In most excellent spirit all
through the evening" The story of Ray
has been given in full by the GLOBE
within the current week and, without
going over it again, it suffices to say
that in every way it is adapted to
Maggie Mitchell. She gives charming
impersonatlOn to the character of Ray,

The Eat Mans Club.

s'The Fat Mans Club" is the name of
a farce-comedy new to Minneapolis
theater-goers, but long acquainted with
success in other parts. 1t will be the
attraction at the Grand the last three
nights of the coming week. ''Fat Mans
Club was constructed to please, and
that it has gained that desired result is
demonstrated by the unusually large re-
ception it has received everywhere. 1t
pictures the amusing incidents OF man
joining a secret order. and it is the more
laughable because the hero tips the
scale at nearly $50 pounds. The unof
the play is stopped here and there fer
the introduction OF many bright and
most acceptable specialities, which assist
in making the musical comdey success.
Sparkling gems Of vocal music, all OF
which are catchy and popular, abound
in the piece. The company contains
number of very clever people. also four
comedians that are fully as fleshy as
Mr.. Stewart himself. Bewitching Baby
Bessie edith Clark appears in her
speciality and Miss EstrelIa Sylvia eX
ecutes gracefully many styles of dane
ing that have become popular to the
stage. The acrobatic act Of De Bolien

ever seen on the stage. and is we'll
