The l.edger's Annual Write.Up.

to each spring make mention of
horses owned by its patrons. We
take pleasure in doingthis and wish
it were so that every stallion and
jack in Audrain county could be
named under this head.
MIssoURI's CHAMPION STALLION.
In the stables of Hon. c.. F.
Clark, of this city, is Robert Rys-
dyk 5000, record 2:13A, made at
independence. Iowa, Oct. %, 1891.
Rysdyk is the son of William Rys-
dyk SAT, and Queen Bee. dam Of
three $50 performers and one other
in 2:3S. There is no grander bred
horse in Missouri than Rysdyk, and
Mr. Clark is so certain he will lower
his record to 2:10 or better that he
makes a good offer in his advertise,
ment in this paper. Rysdyk is be.
yord question the gamest, smooth.
est, most even-gaited trotter on the
turf to-day and in many a race has
proven himself a raee-horse with
staying qualities. This horse is
worth 49, 900 if he is worth a cent
and his service fee is a mere nothing
when the extra quality of his pro
duee is taken into consideration. II
is Mr.. Clark's highest aim to ele.
vate the standard of the trottins
horse, and we knowof no other mar
in these parts who would have in
vested as much money in a trottel
as he did when he became the own
er Of Rysdyk.
Stopper, a son of Rysdyk, ant
Warfellow, son of Longfellow. tht
great thoroughbred, are also insMr
CIark's stables. The public is IN
vited to call and see them.

MISS MINTIE
Her Mother Unable to Persuade Her
Out of the Match.

Late Saturday afternoon, as re-
ported in the LEDGER of that date,
Miss Mintie Mccall, of Fulton, and
Mr.. Anderson, of the same place,
were granted a marriage license.
Although Miss Mintie had seen
t%wenty-one summers and twenty
winters she had some trouble in
proving her age. Her mother arrived
on the 5 O'Clock freight from Fulton
before the marriage took place and
endeavored to persuade her daughter
out of the match. Her mother says
there was no need of her running
away from Fulton to be married;
that she was of age and could have
married if she wanted to, although
at the time she was engaged to some
three or four other young gentlemen,
at least two of whom would have
been acceptable to her parents.
Rev. Mumpower married the young
folks Saturday night and they will
likely return to Fulton to be for
given. The young men who + be-
moaning Miss Mintie's marriage
will likely compare notes and send
her letters back and then, perhaps,
commit suicide. The friends of the
bride in this city, and they are many,
all extend their congratulations and
trust that papa will forgive his only
daughter and that the Tilted lovers
will forgive and forget the fair but
tickle maiden.

EAST END HORSE SHOW.
Creditable Exhibitions Of Fine Stock
ut Rush Hill and Farber.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
RUSH HILL, Mo-, April 16.-
Rush Hills first horse show was q
success, but it would have been
much larger if the horse men in the
vicinity had been consulted and
proper arrangements made. The an
nouncement was made without their
knowledge and a number that would
have been here with their stock went
to Farber-there being a horse show
there the same time. There were a
number of good horses on exhibition.
P. S. Underwood, of Laddonia, was
here with his fine black saddle
horse, Dick Turpin. King Artist,
owned by W. B. Scott, of Rush Hill,
is a fine sorrel saddle horse and
shows off well. T. S. Pearson
showed his fine three-year-old dark
gray colt, Denmark. He has had
but little training and is a natural
saddler and showed the best
saddle gaits of any horse on the
ground. Jacob Stumpf and. J. B.
Clark each showed a good draft
horse and w. G. Sims and R. C..
Garter each showed harness horse.
The only jack shown was Wade
Hampton, a fine Is hand jack
owned by J. B. Clark, of Rush Hill.

Missouri Weather Crop Bulletin.

Columbia Mo-, April 16-Weath-
er Crop Bulletin, 3, of the Missouri
State Weather Service, State Board
of Agriculture, for the week ending
April Is, 1892, Columbia, Mo:
The conditions prevailing during
the past week have been such that
nearly all growing vegetables have
been injured by either cold or pre-
cipitation. Rain was general over
the entire State, mixed with snow,
and followed by damaging frosts in
many places. The temperature and
sunshine were below the average.
Seeding and planting are not over
half done and all work is delayed.
Meadows are flooded in many
places, but grass is generally good.
Considerable damage was done by
rain and high winds Of the 18th and
14th.

double drivers, matched teams and

Here, also, can be found the

spirited black saddle horse tina. at

inquiry we found the horse was
Missouri Squirrel, owned by W. E.
Cheatham & Bro, one mile west of
~
Hatton, in Galloway county. We
examined him closely and have no
hesitancy in saying he is one of the
very best saddle stations in Missou-
ri and certainly one of the best sons
of old Black Squirrel-some claim
he is the best. By looking over the
Woodland Stock Farm advertise
ment in this paper it will be seer
that he is a prize winner. He goes
all the gaits perfectly-has them
down to a whisper. Cheatham &
Bros. offer a $50 premium for their
horses best colt.

Twenty years ago the stallion

it is 2:134 held right here in our
own town. Breeders and fanciers
then could not foresee the

county in Missouri has advanced
more rapidly in this direction than
our own. In the saddle rings at
the great st. Louis fair last year
the horses of this vicinity We'd for
honors in competition with the re-
nowned saddlers of Kentucky and
the ribbons were equally divided.
Many good judges thought the Au-
drain and Galloway horses superior
to those from "Blue Grass" To
sum up: Audrain has the trotter,
the PAGER, the thoroughbred, the
saddler, the Clyde, the Percheron,
the coacher, the Belgian, the
Arabian, the grand all-purpose
horse, and as many and as good
Jacks IS can be found in any county
of any State in the Union; and of
all the breeds mentioned, there is
not 6 scrub in the lot.
Only asmall numbero of Audrain's
horses are advertised in the papers.
Some owners fancy handbills, others
folders, circulars or cards, &C., for
advertising purposes, while others
with good animals do not advertise
their stock at all. If a horse is
worth his service fee (and all Au-
drain horses are) the newspaper is
the proper place to advertise. All
other means should be secondary.
Let the general public know the
kind of horses we have. This can
only be done through the medium
of a widely circulated newspaper.
