P The Big Winners. A feature of the Spirit of the Times of the issue of l6b. 24, was a list of trotters who have won races in which the purses, stakes or premiums aggregated $10,000 nr.d upwards, to the close of 1882, with de scription, date, name of sire, etc., the data being furnished by advance sheets of ClH>.-t2r's Complete Trotting ami Pacing Record. The list given comprises 221 names of horses that have performed from the days of Dutchman and Lady Suffolk. wlip t egau their victorious careers in 1838, dov.n ... the present time. Commenting up iv. the table, the Spirit says: It is instructive to note how brief a time it i*, in many cases, before the victor of one yoar is east into the shade by the new rivals that spring up. It has been shown, in several cases, that a trotter can bear active campaigning for ten, or twelve, or even a greater number of years, yet we find that 104, nearly one- half, of the $10,000 horses, were not successful in races for a period greater than live years. As a rule, we think, the old-time trotter stayed longer at the front than those of the past iv decades, but that fact may be attribu table to there having been less competi tion, and they were not so soon outclassed. A striking exception to this is found in tbe veteran, Tom Keeler. Under the name of Cayuga Chief, he won tho first race in 18G7 at Clyde, N. V., and his thirty-seventh was won in Maine in 1882. This is a period of sixteen years, and none of the intervening calendar divisions has failed to see him at the front one or more times, except 1808 and 1881. He is a marvel of wear. Old Lady Suffolk is only one season behind him, and she won a much larger number of races, seventy-five being credited to her, more than twice Tom Keeler's quota. Chicago, alias Hardbread, alias Jim Rock ey, outranks even Tom Keeler, having won his first race in 1859, and his last in 1876, no less than eighteen seasons of hard cam paigning. We believe he is still alive in California. An interesting reminiscence of him was recently published, and if we are not mistaken, he won a scrub race last ye:u-. Other notable "Listers" are: Brother Jonathan, Byron, Confidence, Cozette, Der by. Ethan Allen, Flora Temple, George Vvilkes, Goldsmith Maid, Hotspur, Hun tress John IL, John Stewart, Lady Frank lin, Lady Moscow, Lad) Star, Pilot Temple, Silas Rich, and Thomas Jefferson, all of whom have a successful career of at least ten seasons' duration. The palm as a campaigner must be awarded to Goldsmith Maid. From 1866 to 1877 this marvelous little mare had one hundred and twenty-one victories, and the eighty-six of Flora Temple are the nearest approach to her in this respect. The num ber of heats that she trotted in 2:30 or bet ter was three hundred and . thirty-two, as counted by those who kosp track of such matters, and the amount of the purses and -stakes in the contests for which 6he was victress was the enormous sum of §3G4,200, more than treble the amount credited to any other performer. This, of course, by no means represents net winnings. As a rule, of late years, the winner of a trotting purse has netted four-tenths of its amount, but* in the case of Goldsmith Maid her av erage was much greater than this. In her case, as it is a matter of curiosity, we have figured the actual net gains, aside from expenses, that she has brought to her own and they foot up $240,740. The greatest winner on the running turf in this country was Hindoo, and his net earnings amounted to less than §90,000. No horse of any age or country ever won so much money as the little inbred Abdullah mare, who is now meekly performing the duties of a matron at Fashion Stud farm. Her long career was in flush times, $10,000 purses were not infrequent, and several people whom Bhe has enriched have cause to bless the day when it was decided that she was too ill tempered for ploughing and had better be trained for the track. There are but three others whose winnings reach treble figures in the thousands, viz., American Girl, $118,100; Rams, $114,950, and Judge Ful lerton, $102,035^ Dexter, Flora Temple, Hopeful and Lady Thorn do not fall far short of reaching §100,000. The educated constituency that we ad dress will not fail to draw encouragement from the tabTe of "Big Winners." It shows what is possible with good care and a rea sonable measure of success. They will re call, as they peruse these names, the his tory of the horses, will note their breeding and remember to a great extent how their campaigns were conducted. They will bear in mind that a winning of, say $10, -000 rom 187G to 1882, is equal to at least $20,000 from 1870 to 1870, because purses havt; been so much decreased in size of late years, and they will also not fail to not€ the admirable manner in which some trot ters have be-jn handled to secure the meas ure of success which entitles them to a place in this table. It is very lit tle for a Princess to win $49,500, wh-ju $36,500 of it was the result of one match against a horse whom she far ex ce7. lin speed, but it requires the best ol management to bring the winnings of a hoi like St. James up to nearly an equal amounti or to win over $25,000 with a horse like old Tom Keeler, who never went ix fir:-.:-01-!Ss company.

So must the public man or thepub ie horse expect to receive his attentions rom the world of writers, whether of •raise or censure, philosophically, his sole esource, when unfriendly criticism, as in ho present case, are especially unjust be rig to disprove the charges. Had Mr. xrattan's observations been confined to lis own paper, the Breeder's Gazette, they rould have met with the notice the promi lenceof the sheet entitled it to. The Globe, iowever,is quite another thing. One cannot .fiord to assume indifference to what ap icars in its columns. That Portion is vicious I stoutly deny, dr. Brodhead, a noble, honorable gentle nan, whose character among horsemen is uch that the vials of even Mr. Wallace's vrath, so freely poured out, only make his 'irtaes and amiable qualities the more ap parent in his position as superintendent if Mr. Alexanders largo estate.where For ion was bred, drove him for some time on he road. He says: "Portion is the best iisposed horse I ever saw." Since New •Tear's day 1875, when I first law my horse [ have never had cause to question the cor ectness of this statement. During all that engthi of time I have yet to know of Por ion's biting or kicking any one. The i-oice of any member of my family is suf ficient to call to the door or window this vicious animal, to receive the apple or lainty we all love to give our pet, who if permitted will lick the hand of the donor in gratitude. The victim of a series of distressing xccidents so severe in their nature that many horses would never have forgotten them, Portion was for a long time afraid jf shafts, and extra precautions were used in hitching and unhitching him. While a sucking colt he ran a stake clean through his left forward foot. This caused what is termed a false quarter. Eis forward feet have always differed in size and shape, making him an exceedingly difficult horse to show correctly and consequently to bal ance, and causing him to strike and inter fere in various ways. Remembering this, a brief synopsis of Portion's career will I think settle the question whether he is "rattle-headed" or no. In 1876 Portion was handled eight weeks by R. P. Stetson, of Philadelphia. In that time he started in three races. In the 2:45 class at Wood bury Park, N. J., Portion secured second place in a field of seven horses. At Potts town in the 2:45 race, Portion was 5, 2, 3. In a race at, Philadelphia he secured no place. Leaving Philadelphia on the way to his new home in Minnesota, Portion to saddle trotted a good second to Scott's Thomas in a 2 and 3 heat in 2:30 and 2:26, ait Louisville, Ky. This was the result of eight weeks' handling. In 1877, after ex actly two weeks' preparation, Portion started in the 2:45 race at the state fair held in Minneapolis. He received no place but won the mile dash given to the trotting stallions on exhibition there, beating such horses as Royal Duke, Ned Sutton and Ar cher's Almont. The same fall he won the free-for-all at St. Cloud, and trotted second in tho free-for-all at Anoka, won by Orient. Portion started in no race until 1880, when July sth he was placed in the hands of R. S. Piper. In less than two months we find the "rattle-headed" horse at Rochester, winning two races in 24 hours, in the first of which Mr. Grattan, with his celebrated mare Litttle Queen, succeeded in securing fifth place. In the second heat in the 2:37 race Portion trott ed in 2:31 14, incorrectly given out as 2:35. The last half mile was trotted in 1:11. In 1881 Portion, still in Piper's hands, show ed a mile in 2:23, trotted a dead heat, in a matinee at New Richmond, Wis., over a half mile track with Herod in 2:27, was a fair third to Yon Armin in the stallion race at Minneapolis in 2:28, the track be ing at least four seconds slow from rains, and likewise won the 2:30 race at Fargo, beating Selkirk and Hambletonian Maid. That Portion was systematically pulled all through this year, few horsemen doubt. The worst, of a bad class of men, Piper, said to several ''It ain't my policy to show this" horse up: I will own him before the snow flies and then I will show you next year where Smuggler's record will be." Poor fellow! In the following year his cloud of misfortune still o'arshadowed him. In the hands of an unskillful, reck less man, improper coolings out, and over speeding did their work and in his two races at Rochester, though anything but "tattle-headed," he was far from being himself. Once only was he Portion. Com ing up the home stretch in the double-team race, he forgot his soreness, his highly bred temperament was too delicately or ganized not to be in sympathy with his surroundings, taking hold of the bit, with his companion, Viator, on the dead run, he showed again th At burst of speed, which never failed to thrill-even his enemies. "See Portion come!" was the cry on many lips, but it was too late, the leading team were already safe winners. It was but the momentary flashing of that spark, which unstifled by the ashes of dishonesty, in competency and brutality would have blazed forth so brightly. John Bbadfobd.

IS. B. Fobd. , ; i'riiiterun Norman llor-r Company. An extensive and important venture n horse breeding has just been consu lted by a number of Western gentlemen veil known in commercial circles, who g iavo organized a joint stock company -j inder the name of the "Percheron Norman _ lorse company," with a paid up capital rock ot $500,000. The main object of p he company is to breed horses on a large icale, similar to that of the cattle kings of * he West. The stockholders in the mam- *'• noth concern are the Messrs. Studebaker C brothers, of South Bend, Ind.; Mr. M. W. a Dunham, Wayne, 111.; Mr. John A. Witter, b Denver, Col.; Col. Lemert, of Bucyrue, p Dhio, and a bank president of the same jlace. The election of officers has not 8 ret taken place, but it is understood that IL W. Dunham will preside over the desti lies of the organization. A range of :ountry some fifteen by thirty miles in extent has been selected, situate on the r South Platte. Colorado, sixty miles from " Denver.

"Veritas" in The Spirit: A friend from the West relates a very characteristic Jack * Splan anecdote. He says that ,he was in a * hotel in Chicago some time ago, and with- } out eavesdropping overheard portions of 1 a conversation between Commodore Kitt- t son, D. W. Woodmansee and Splan, the re- ; suit of which interview was the engage- < ment of the latter as driver of the Midway - string. Toward the close of the session i Commodore K. was heard to remark, in a summing-up tone, but which still seemed ' to leave something to be inferred, "Well, John. I will say to you frankly I have . no doubt of your ability." "For heaven's sake," was Splan's quick [ retort. "I hope you don't doubt my ras- ' cality!" That remark seemed to clinch the bar gain. Miscellaneous Notes. W. H. Crawford has sold tho Jtrotting stallion Voltaire, record 2:21. to Stanhope Bros., Lexington, Ky., for §5.000. Miss My rtie Peek, the little Michigan girl, is now out with a challenge to any lady equestrienne in the United States to ride twenty miles or more for a stake of one or two thousand a side. Mr. C. G. Weeks, Hampton, la., is jog ging the trotters Jennie G and Orinda, by Star of the West, 2:26%, and reports them in fine shape and speedy. Star of the West is still owned at Rochester, Olmsted county, Minnesota, and though in, his twenty-third year, is still hale and hearty, and capable of trotting his mile in the :40's. The Spirit announces that it has certifi cates from the officers of Hampden park, Springfield, Mass., to the effect that the chestnut gelding, Overman, did not get a record of 2:20 at that track.as has been pub lished, but of 2:20 X 4. The correction is of considerable importance, as that little '4 saves the horse to the 2:21 class. The lowa Driving Park association have arranged a programme for their spring meeting as follows: Dubuque, June 5, 6, 7; Cedar Rapids, June 12,13, 14, 15; Mar shalltowu, June 18, 20, 21, 22; Oskaloosa, June 20, 27, 28, 29; Mason City, July 3, 4, 6, 7. Each place of meeting is to donate $4,500 toward the purses, which are to be the same in each place forming the cir cuit. The horses at Midway, including Sannie G., So So, S potts wood and others of the more seriously sick, are convales cing and rapidly recovering their fine form before being afflicted. So So, espe cially, is rounding to unexpectedly fast. The brood mares, too, are doing very finely, and all in all a much more cheerful and hopeful feeling prevails at Midway than there did a few weeks since. "Veritas" in The Spirit says: The great five year-old Phil Thompson was shod last week, and his preparation commenced for the great colt event at the Gentlemen's Driving park in June next. Phil now car ries upward of a pound shoe forward for road work, but when he trotted in 2:21 as a three-year-old, thirteen ounces forward and six behind were sufficient to balance him. Hopeful woie shoes of a similar weight when he made tho best time on rec ord, 2:16% to wagon. The b. m. Farce, by Princeps, recently purchased by Charles M. Reed, Erie, Pa., has been shipped to Gen. John Turner, Philadelphia. Pa., by whom she will be trained and driven. It is announced she will probably be entered in the five-year-old purse offered by the Gentlemen's Driving association, New York city, at their Juno meeting, as Mr. Reed is said to be not only willing but anxious to have her meet Jay Eye See, Bronze, or any other 5-year old. Mr. S. D. Macomber, of Now Lisbon, Wis., the owner of the thoroughbred stal lion Icicle, by Iceberg, dam '.'j by imp Sovereign, issued a nov el challenge through Dunton's Spirit of the Turf, viz.: To run Icicle half mile heats, 2 in 3, trot him mile heals 3 in 5 next day, and walk him ten miles and re peat the next day, against any stallion used as a stock horse in the states of Illi nois or Wisconsin, any time during the mont-hapf July or August, 1883, according to National rules." As Mr. Macomber never bets, he proposes the races to be for the gate money, to be donated to some charitable institution; and further, that if the trials are made at New Lisbon, that he will pay the expenses of the party ac cepting, and keep himself and horse. We learn from Mr. W. L. McGrath, of the Lake Como stud, that several of his horses have been afflicted with the pneu monia, influenza, or whatever the disease really may be, which has had such a run in the Midway stable recently. The last to be taken was his stallion Thesus, who was quite sick for several days last week. Mr. McGrath has followed the same course of treatment pursued toward the last at Mid way with the result of soon checking the disease, and in the cases of those first at tacked complete restoration to health al ready, while the stallion Thesus, the last attacked, is improving. So far only the horses in one of his stables have been at tacked, and Mr. McGrath is very hopeful | that with the advent of the milder weather now prevailing those in the other stable will escape.

"he Gentleman from Minnesota Who Cap tured the Toga Worn By Mr. Winilom' Outlines his Views Briefly. [Chicago Times.] D. M. Sabin, United States senator-elect "rom Minnesota, was at the Grand Pacific lotel yesterday, and left last night for Vashington. The new senator is about as fonng a man as the next senate will con ;ain. He is not quite forty years of age, -..bout five feet ten inches in height, dark ;omplexioned,and wears a heavy coal-black mustache. He gave a reporter for :he Times a cordial greeting yesterday, md in response to a question concerning lhe feeling among Minnesota politicians, now that the smoke of the senatorial battle had cleared away, said: "All grievances are laid aside. It is really a surprise that such good feeling prevails, and no feuds perpetuated between men of the same political belief. I have never had any personal ill-will toward Mr. Windom, but opposed him because my friends deter mined to have a new man. and honored me with their confidence." "What was the real cause of- Mr. Win dom's defeat .-" "I suppose it will do no harm to disclose the inside workings of the senatorial fight now. Congressman Dunnell left no stone unturned to beat him. and he must be giv en the credit for the fight against Win- j dom. The latter saw that Dunnell had senatorial aspirations, and concluded to get him out of the way. He worked against the congressman's renomination, and the result was that Dunnell successfully car ried on the war which ended in my going to the senate." "You have had some legislative experi ence "About ten years in the legislature." "Have you given much thought to the questions of national importance now before congress f "Considerable. I am not prepared to say what my course in the future will be, but I believe the rich men of the country should support the government in preference to the gain it may receive by impoverishing the poorer classes. I am speaking now of the pending legislation relative to our internal revenue system. the laws rela tive to customs duties.

Davis, representing this well known organization, is in the city arrang ing the preliminaries for tho appearance of the company at the Opera house on Wednesday evening. March 1-1. Calen der's present company—of which the fa mous Gustave and Charles Frohman are proprietors —is a triple troupe, in fact, it being a union of Calender's genuine colored minstrels, Haverly's European colored minstrels, and the original Georgia minstrels. The combination has traveled extensively through the country, and has met with the most gratifying success. It is the only colored minstrel troupe or the road, and includes all the prominent colored per formers, both of this .onntry and Europe. Among the vocalists are Wallace King, termed the black eampanini; Lewis Brown, the black Del Puente, and Messrs. Edmund Johnson and William Morris. The principal comedians are the five Bil lies—Kersanda, Green, Banks. Simms and Reynolds; the only Armstrong. Ed Bo wen, the Opelika Twins, John Taylor, Bub Mack, and ■ bantam rooster.

This evening the Emma Abbott Opera company will present at the Opera house Guouod's beautiful and romantic opera of "Romeo and Juliet." The title roles will be taken by Miss Abbott and Mr. Castle, each of whom have added to their distin guished reputations as artists for their ad mirable renditions of the parts. The com position is replete with melodies of a high order, the charm of the opera being greatly ! enhanced for the opportunities it affords for fine and spirited acting, the balcony scene alone being one of the most artistic and intense bits of acting on the dramatic stage. It will be given with full sece3 inoriei.

Indeed there exists not a » little resemblance between the situation * now and that which induced Prince Louis Napoleon in 1851 to quit Vegalite pour rentrer dttiis le droit. , The affair of the princes is not so < much a difficulty as a symptom. They are * a danger for the republic the republicans I avow. This admission is the more serious ' as hitherto the republic claimed to be in- ■ different to attacks. Now it has to defend • itself as if a royal or imperial regime. , The Odyssey of the princes' exclusion bill j between the chamber and the senate —the i term "upper house" has been voted to be a < reflection on the representatives—partakes of the comical and the pitiable. The sen ators, under the menace of being abol ished, will likely swallow the leek and vote the amendments of the cham ber, so that the new Jaw will invest the president with the right to expel any mem ber of tho once-reigning families who may dabble in politics, and such can easily be construed into playing as pretender. Trial becomes thus suspersed by a ukase — old game in this land. But how meet the difficulty of expelling the princes now in active service from the army, and of disqualifying others on the half-pay list? Simply by the govern ment executing the law of 1831 authorizing it to remove any officer from command as may be deemed necessary. The present war minister, Gen. Thebaudin, states he is ready to execute this law, and the Jacobin influences which weigh on the situation will immediately call on him to so do his duty. Another hard nut the same influences insist on having cracked consists in the demand to set at liberty Prince Krapotkine and his fellow prisoners, condemned for their socialistic opinions. These latter are viewed as innocence itself, in reference to a disturbing influence on the public peace, when compared with the placard extra parliamentary utterances of Prince Napoleon, acquitted with all honors. One is inclined to laugh when deal ing with the question of the ministry. The executive only re presents the provisional or an interregnum - -the latter promising to be as permanent as the former. Having resigned ministers resemble the speaking "decapitated head," they express just the same a collective opinion on questions under discussion. And when a deputy calls them a pack of cowards they draw lots to select one of their own to demand satisfaction from the insulter, who at once avows he only em ployed the word in a Pickwickian sense. Whether DeFreycinet or Ferry constitute the new cabinet its duration will only be ephemeral. France is not ripe for parlia mentary government. Her legislators are untrained in parliamentary manners. Each member has a programme of his own cal culated to make France great, glorious and free in twenty-four hours; others of more enlarged views seek to obtain in addition the millennium; but all want to be a min ister as the stepping stone to becoming president. There is no discipline, no sin cere and continued obedience to a leader. There are sects and coteries but no defined parties. When Gambetta failed to create form out of the chaos what can pigmies effect There can be no ministry then of any duration, for a cabinet is based not on a programme but on names. Hence, the slightest unexpected incident scatters the Mosaic ministry. M. Grevy commences to be more closely looked after. He is suspected not only of reigning but of governing, and the "occult influence" which was placed to the account of Gambetta, has now been transferred to M. Wilson, the president's son-in-law. By the pitchforking of De Freycinet once more into office, who is a capital engineer but a ninny of a states man, brings Leon Say well to the front as the future president of the republic. The leading merchants of the capitol— all Republicans —have waited on M. Grevy, and pointed out to him the lamentable condition of the commercial and trading worlds. The other cities will follow suit. The event speaks volumes, and dispenses with the crocodile - tears of the merchants over the ruin of the country and its lost prestige. Other medicine men attribute the deplorable state of affairs, not to the decomposition of politicians,but to the de cadence of France, whose motto has be come Ichabod. The anarchists are in their glory and are making hay while the sun shines. Thus ' Felix Pyat in his Vengeur urges M. Grevy ■ to install the commune in order to save so ciety and protect France, while the dandy , workman, Guesde, who is can didate for the legislative vacancy caused by Gambetta's death, ad vocates among other small reforms the sponging out of the national debt, the abo lition of railways and banks, the suppres sion of employers, and the arming of tho nation. That's what powerfully helps to make pretenders. Richard Wagner, like several other celebrities, came to France when a youth to fortune and to fame unknown, to win the suffrages of Parisians, generally re garded as a "hall mark." He produced his Tannhauser in March, 18G1; except the overture, the Pilgrim's March, Wolframs' ■ ballad, and the duet with Elizabeth, all the ■ rest of the score of that production of genius was either hissed c laughed down. • The Princess de Metternich, wife of the Austrian ambassador, was so disgusted at the opposition that she addressed a very ' unladylike epithet to the spectators, and • broke her fan to atoms with rage. After 1 the third repress station the police inter • f ered. It was not exactly the scientific music thai provoked the opposition, but the omission of the ballet and in its stead '■ introducing a pack of dogs. Wagner never • i forgave this reception, and during the war ! of 1870-71 he published the most vio ' ' lent diatribes against France. Many pa ] triots now forget these attacks in admira ! tion for the composer. He was a revolu . : tionist in his day, as in 1849 he proposed . ; to burn the Dresden royal palace. Rossini . j hated Wagner's compositions, and kept ! the score of Tannhu-.ser open, but upside • down, on a piano to enable him to remark, j "I tried it the other way and failed, now I ! intend essaying the second plan." But a death positively tragical, and which ■ points a moral while adorning a tale, is that of tha Dachesse de Chaulnes, nee Sophie ftftlitzm. a ... princess. Sir.cc she /as "fourteen years of age, I'- had many / ipportunities of seeing her while she was ( iving at Versailles, and when she came to Paris several times a week to complete her ducat ion. She was the observed of all ?*, •bservers, "looked a goddess and moved a ]} [ueen." Her beauty was her fortune, and he was selected by the Duchesse de Chev euse on that account as the wife for her on. He was boyish, consumptive, ascetic; he was all for gaiety and society. Result, in ill-matched pair. - Shut up in a castle . vith such a husband and his mother, she ,y toon fell a victim to suitors. She confessed » laving committed adultery, re- p inquished the guardianship of her st shildren, and was sent into the wilderness, r< Last year she endeavored to abduct her a children, she was indicted; the trial as- J! tamed a political character, but the law refused her on account of her misconduct, * :ho custody of her children. Out laweu by society, repudiated by her mother in-law, & estranged from her own mother, this fallen aeauty of twenty-four asked a shelter from ■= 1 former housemaid, whose husband is 8 railroad employe. At their humble home, tvtlh only one bed room in common, the luchesse has just expired. Had the old servant refused to receive the dttohesse the latter had resolved tb drown herself in j the Seine. I have seen powdered lackeys S waiting on the young duchesse, and royal princes happy to catch her smile. Sick- S ness compelled the cutting off of her splendid hair; this she has bequeathed to her children. To be buried in her bridal dress md with her wedding ring are the j dying favors she begged of her mother-in law, who belongs to one of the first fami lies of France.and which have been refused. The deceased was born two centuries too late; her place was at the court of Louis ~ XIV, and to have her tabouret among the pleiad of duchesses. A Pole has been sentenced to two years imprisonment. He sent a threatening letter - C to "Citizen" Grevy, in the name of a revolu tionary committee, calling upon him to resign. At Lyons, a Prussian shot his mistress, j then stabbed her, and to make sure, hung her. Next he hanged himself. The crime does not attract so much notice as the fact that the Prussian was an employe in the arsenal. Like the fly in the amber, the -J question is, how the d 1 he got there. The local press of Grenoble published a canard that a nun, giving her name, had been confined of a bouncing boy in a rail- ) way carriage. The court fined the calum niators severely, and the Paris papers which copied it, less so. Daudet continues to be in hot water re specting his last romance on religious hys teria, Erangeliste. He disclaims having intended any attack either on Protestant ism or the Salvation army. "V: The late Due d'Orleans, whose manners were very unpretending, called to visit the painter, Roqueplau. The concierge replied the artist was at home, and asked the visitor to hand him a pair of panta loons, as he was going up. . The duke at once executed the errand laughingly. A Parisienne is the only lady who will raise her jape when crossing a kennel free of water. CTATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF RAMSEY •J — District Court, Second Judicial District.
