Prove as Good AS Bingen.
e. H. Greedy has received from Ken
lucky another yearling which has stuff
, in him that should make him a trotter,
and he may prove no mean successor to
the late lamented Bingen.
This latest acqu isition was purchased
by George w. Leavitt, who purchased
Bingen for Mr.. Greedy, and arrived in
Ellsworth the latter part of last week.
The colt has not yet been named, but it Is
probable he will be known as "Cresvent,
from small white marx in the form Of
Il crescent over one eye.
In speaking of the colt the american
Horse Breeder, that authority On horse
flesh, says:

attractive horse in harness. The quality of hi
bone and muscle is of the very finest and most
superior character. He now stands 10 hands,
and should make a horse at least l5.2 l5.3 AT
maturity.
1t is needless to remark that this colt is "A
