.Sully.
Within the next two months the town
.cf Sully will lose its reputation as the
rome of the fast horse. as j. p. TAYLOR
last week sold his entire herd of b,ooded
stock to Carl Silvers. of Cleveland, o..
end j. a. Lescher, of Chicago. The
transfer consisted of 100 head, ranging
IN age from yearlings up. and the price
received was 500 per head, thus aggre-
eating the snug sum of $4,000, of which
amount $500 was paid down and the
remainder Is to be paid over when the
horses are shipped. which will be some
tine in May. This sale means that Mr..
Taylor is going out OF the horse bust
ness entirely, as he has finally discov-
cred he was carrying too much of a load
tor his physical strength. and in order
10 tighten his burden he some time since
made up his mind to dispose of his
horses. But as he has something like 4
thousand acres OF land To look after II
ls not likely he will remain idle for the
want OF something to do.

harness. tho heard from, was hardly
worth tracing further. The second
horse. it is expected will yet be over
taken and recovered All this detective
work travelling and other moves have
been expensive, but Mr. Krebs has the
satisfaction of rounding up the horse
