A personal friend of General Grant
writes: While CT ,eral Grant was sta
toned ia Washin IA. a short time be-
fore his election as President, saw a
great deal Of hin. One day Colonel
Dunn, his chief of staff, came into the
hotel and asked me how the general was.
The colonel told me he was feeling greatly
depressed. He was out driving yester-
day, said the colonel, and his horse was
beaten by butchers. The general said
he felt greatly inundated. He was driv-
ing his fast horse and was attempting TO
pass butchers wagon 10 which was at
tached gray horse. The white horse
was determined not to be passed, and he
ran right away from the generals horse.
He said the gray horse was the finest
moving animal he ever saw. and was
anxious To purchase it. 1t happened that
had done favor to a riding master
named Wonastall. The morning after
Colonel Dunn had told me about the race
/ went out and began a search and had
little difficulty in locating the animal the
President so much coveted. The horse
was one of the best formed animals in
Washington, and undoubtedly the fastest
in the city. II could be purchased for
$500, as the owner was going 20 New York
10 live. The horse had been purchased
liy its present owner at Goosebery Point
from the Government. 1t was a con-
demned horse. l bought it, and when
the butcher discovered for whom | had
bought it he was very angry. General
Grant drove the horse during all the time
he was President, and there was noother
horse in Washington able to beat it. The
horse is still alive and is living in luxury
in the handsome stables of the Palmers
in Chicago.
