From the little log - • re .on the cor
ner of Jackson and Bench streets, in
1852, where a few ribbons and calicoes
weresold.ui> to the great live-story build
ing of Finch, Van Slyek. Young «* Co.,
on the corner of Fourth and Sibley i
streets, there is a great jump, but it is a !
jump of fact, not of fancy— ali accom
plished in less than forty years. In 1853,
M . Curran occupied what was then
known as the --World's Fair Dry Goods
Store." in a two-story wooden building,
en the corner id Third and Robert
streets. In those days it was consid
ered "huge." Later came along A brain
Elfel and Cathcart & Co., and Curran
■was eclipsed; and then came
Blum. Uteiian, Justice, and then
D. \V. Ingersoil. Cathcart struggled for
•supremacy, but ingersoil &Co. held the
field, and are now, under the name of
Field, Mahler it Co..the oldest dry goods
house in the city— a compliment well
earned by many years of patient toil
and honorable dealing. Mr. Elfelt oc
cupied filestore known as the Napoleon
saloon, corner of Exchange and Third
streets. Follow these came William j
Lee, and Strouse, and Mannheimer, I
Lindeke. rbacb. Finch & Scherfer, i
and Powers and others. The business
of the dry goods house and milliners
lias continued to grow, commensurate ]
with the great growth <>!' the city itself, j
St. Paul is today one of the leading j
cities of the country ii; the manufacture [
M' clothing of various grades, men's |
furnishing g-ot's. gloves, mittens, and J
furs of different kinds. Over 1,600 i
bands find employment in these lines I
alone in the city, and turn out annually j
over "M.Ui-n.OOfi worth of manufactured |
goods, for which they receive something !
over £600,000 per year In wages. This!
manufacture has been built up largely I
by the wholesale houses to meet the de
mands of the country, and is therefore I
on the most solid "and substantial I
foundation that ran be imagined, j
All grades of clothing are made i
here, although tho making of the I
liner kinds of tailor-made goods has not I
been given the attention it deserved
until the present year, which has wit
nessed the establishment of a large and :
finely equipped factory, giving employ- :
menttooOO men already, and making j
nothing but the finest grades of tailor- '
made clothing. Tie attention of the
wholesale dry goods, furnishing goods
nnd fur men was early attracted to this
field, and about twenty-five years ago
the manufacure of overalls, coarse
shirts, and sueii articles .was com
menced. This was found so satisfactory
to their customers that each wholesale
dry goods house increased its factory
capacity from year to year to meet the
demands of the trad". " he liner grades
of shirts was added later, and the wants
of the sportsmen of the country to the
west were not neglected. The result is
that each of the large dry goods houses
lias a factory giving steady employment j
to a large number of hands, three of the i
houses alone giving employment to over I
700 hands in their manufacturing de- j
partments.
There is also another point to be con
sidered in this question and it is the es
tablishing of a marcet. As things I
stand today the merchant who conies to |
St. Paul to purchase his stock of goods j
does not need to confine himself to one
house, Take it in dry goods for ex- j
ample, lie can take his choice of a j
number of houses. If he is not quite j
satisfied with a certain line in one '
: place he can go to another. The mar- j
' ket is here," and he knows he can find
: what he wants. This making of a mar
ket lias been done in most lines in St. '
Paul, but none so completely and I
thoroughly as in th** line of men's fur
nlstiiiigs,overalls,shirtsand heavy goods. j
In these lines St.Paul manufacturers !
have no real competitors in the great
territory reaching from the great lakes j
to the Pacilic, and are meeting their
Eastern rivals in the Southwest. In j
the line of the finer grades of clothing, j
jobbing houses have prepared the way j
and the factories now here will soon be
in as complete possession of the North
western trade as the fur and furnishing
goods men are of theirs. They are mak
ing goods peculiarly adapted to the
needs or the people of the Northwest,
and the trade will go to them because
that is where it belongs.
St. Paul made clothing has a reputa
tion all over the Northwest. Lumber
men, for instance, know what they need
forthe severe winters of this section,
and they know they .can get just what
they want in St. Paul, and they will
have nothing made elsewhere. The
people of the Northwest have learned
that St. Paul makes clothing of the
same high grade and quality as she
does everything else. And, what is ]
more to the point, they have found that j
they can purchase as cheaply in St. i
Paul as thay can further East, and save
freight and be sure of securing their j
Roods before the season has gone by in
which they expected to sell them.
WKUXER'S.
the- Great Millinery Store Con
dueled by Mrs. C. J. Johnson.
The name of Werner's has been promi
nently connected with the retail mil
linery trade in st. Paul, almost as far
t»ack as the ladies in this city have worn
hats. Kothchild and Kahn, the gentle
men doing business under this name i
prior to July 1, 1891, on that day sold'
•.heir retail business to Mrs. C. J. John
son, and moved into large quarters on
East Fourth street, where they devote
diemselves to the jobbing trade. Mrs.
Johnson is well known in St. Paul as a
lady of exceptional taste and ability in
ier line, and at once drew to herself

A WHOLESALE HOUSK.
fKn~~~~^m^^
i The Northwest Covered by August
Onpenheimer & Co.
The wholesale millinery house of
August Oppenhelmer is oue of the many
big enterprises that St. Paul may point
|to with pride. The business was estab-
I lished in 1872 under the name of 1. Op
! penheim & Co. The company then
I consisted of Isaac Oppenheim and
I August Oppenheiuier. in 1574 the firm
I was nominally changed to Joseph Op
i penheimer & to. This continued until
. when August Oppenheiuier pur
; chased the other interest, and the firm
j became the August Onpenheimer Com
pany of St. Paul. In It"SS the company
i was incorporated under that name
and now has August Oppenheiuier as
i president and Adolph Kalman, vice
j president and treasurer. It occupies
four floors of its large building at the
corner of Sibley and Fifth streets, and
these are filled with an immense stock
of everything, in the line of millinery,
which is divided into various depart
ments, from which thousands of orders
; are filled annually. Their trade covers
the entire Northwest and extends to the
Pacific coast. They are represented
over this large area by twelve traveling
salesmen. The company's trimming
depaitment is one of the most complete
in he United States, and ha;* are
trini: ed specially to order, which makes
a mi st ae-drable feature in the trade.
'flu- volume of business transacted by
this large wholesale bouse in is'.»l was
8750,000.
WELL TO THE FRONT.
The Mammoth Establishment Con
ducted by the Mannheimer Eros.
Mail orders that are received every
day by the large dry goods firm of
Mannheimer Bros., on East Third street,
go to show that not only in the "North
west, but all over the country is this
old-established house known. After
■ twenty" years' successful business iii
i Chicago, Mannheimer Bros, established
themselves in St. Paul in 1*?70, and be
gan to build up the enormous patronage
that marks their progress in 1891. Their
location has always been on Third
street. In 1881 their present large build
ing at the corner of Third and Minne
sota was erected by the firm, who de
signed it to be what it undoubtedly is—
a modern dry goods house in
every particular. The building is
1 5x100 feet in dimensions, and
is built of white stone. There
are five lloors on the interior. The tirm
of Mannheimer Bios, now comprises
four members, as follows: Kobert,
Emanuel and Jacob Mannheimer and
B. L. Goodkind. Most of the enormous
stock that is carried by the house is
purchased in Europe, as one member of
the firm is constantly abroad making
purchases. In addition to this arrange
ment, a resident buyer is stationed in
New York, which enables the firm to
place the latest styles and articles for
sale in St. Paul as quickly as they are
on the New York market."
Their goods are imported direct
through the custom house in this city.
Many of the lines of goods sold by the
firm are made in Europe exclusively for
them. They handle none but the finer
grades of articles, and, in addition to the
usual departments of a dry goods store,
have a special department of parlor or
naments and fixtures and druggists'
materials, which comprises the best and
costliest to be found anywhere in the
world.
FIELD, MAHLER & CO.
From Small Bejjinninjjs Are Often
Traced Great Results.
in the spring of 1856 Mr. D. W. Inger
soil came to St. Paul and founded the
dry goods house which for so many
years bore his name. Their first loca
tion was where the Rogers block on
Third street. no.v standsr Soon after
they moved tv the McClung block, and
in IS6I Mr. Ingersoil built and occupied
what is known as the Ingersoil block.
Here was laid the foundation of the
large business to which the firm ot
Field, Mahler & Co. fell heir. Mr. 'J*. C.
Field came with Mr. Ingersoil from
New York, and later in the same
year came C. F. Mahler from Ohio.
They were both young men and not
afraid of work, as the results amply
show. Correct business methods and
persistent, unremitting industry and
frugality have placed this firm at the
head of the retail dry goods business of
the city and state. When Mr. Ingersoil
retired from the firm, some three years
ago, Frank Schlick Jr. was admitted..
He was born in St. Paul, and for many
years before he became a partner he
was the cashier and confidential man of
the old house. Nearly two years ago
the firm arranged with Thomas Lowry
to build for them their present commodi
ous and elegant store. Only such men
as Mr. Lowry, with his broad-gauge and
liberal views, would have appreciated
the situation. Three half-hour inter
views with Mr. Field did the business.
"1 am going to* Europe. My archi
tect, Mr. Mix, will build you a store,
and if it is not a good one it will be be
cause you don't know what you want."
That's the Kind of a man Mr. Lowry
is, and that's the kind of . a man Mr.
Field is. It doesn't take such men long
to do business. The main salesroom is
75 feet by 400 feet, with three entrances.
one on Fourth, one on Fifth and one on
Wabasha streets. It is said to be, by.
men who ought to know, one of the
finest and best lighted salesrooms in
America. The basement is used en
tirely for reserve stock, leceiving room
and girls' dining room. The second
story on the Wabasha street front is
used entirely for dressmaking apart
ments. The stocks carried are upon the
same broad gauge, and the departments
are all managed by men of ability.
They employ nearly 200 men and
women. The store itself is a model of
attractiveness, and a pride to the city.
A LARGE TRADE
Daily Done by the Firm of Habij*---
HpW bomt & Co.
The large trade of the firm of
Habighorst & Co. in the city and sur
rounding counties has been established
by the excellent business management
aud honest dealing that has character
ized it since the start. Henry Habig
horst, the senior member of the linn,
came to St. Paul in 1856, and has been
J one of the city's most active business
I men since that early date. In IST: Mr.
Habighorst erected the large brick

block where the firm is now located, at
233. 235 and. 237 East Seventh street.
Ten years later his son, Henry Jr., be
came associated with him and * has
proven a valuable co-laborer in the in
terests of the house. For the last four
years the firm has conducted a branch
store at SSO Payne avenue, which re
ceives a flattering patronage from the
residents in that part of the city. Ex
clusive of this twenty-live people are
employed at the main store. Its stock
consists of a full assortment of dry
goods, cloaks and furs and complete
ladies' and gents' furnishings. Its
mail order department is exceptionally
large, and one man gives his whole at
tention to that feature of its business.
A GREAT LOCATION*.
That Is Owned by Messrs. Michael
Mealey & Co.
Michael Mealey & Co., at the corner
of Seventh and Wabasha streets, have
one of the best locations in the city and
do a business that Is in keeping with
the same. This popular dry goods house
was established in St. Paul in 1878. It
was moved to this city from Philadel
phia, where the senior member, Michael
Mealey, had been in business for over
twenty years. Mr. Mealey's experience
in the trade dates back to the time when
he was about thirteen years of age, and
has been engaged in it constantly. He
has, as a natural result, a wider knowl
edge and clearer insight into the busi
ness than many of his fellow business
men. The firm's first location in St.
Paul was at : 173 East Seventh street.
After a three years' stay theypecupied
their present "quarters* in the building
which was erected and owned by the
late Dr. Steele. gSHJS
Their trade is large and constantly
growing, and Mr. Mealey has many cus
tomers today that patronized his store
the first year of its existence, which in
itself is an excellent recommendation
for any business man to produce.
A POPULAR FIRM.
Messrs. Bros. Figure Among
the Growing Firms.
The popular firm of Fantle Bros., at
7*l and 75 East Seventh street, consists
of Charles Fantle Jr.. and Samuel and
William J. Fantle. Their business was
opened in the Ryan block in IS9O, and
their Quarters having become inade
quate, they moved to their present loca
tion on the Ist of last October. The
brothers succeed their father in the dry
goods business, who was engaged in it
in the East for thirty-six years before
coming to St. Paul. They have built
up an enviable trade and enjoy the con
fidence of their natrons. Their mail
order department is a special feature of
the house and has W. J. Fantle at its
head. Samuel Fantle does the buying
for his firm, and consequently is in the
East a large part of his time. The
financial part of their extensive busi
ness is looked after by Charles Jr.. and
this arrangement enables the three
members of the firm to personally super
vise the three most important matters
in their business.
RUN BY DEEMER.
The Millinery Departmant irr
Sehuneman & Evans'.
An article on the leading milliners of
St. Paul would not be complete without
mention of the millinery department in
the large house of Sehuneman & Evans.
It occupies the entire half of the second
floor of their big store, and is under the
personal supervision of Llewellyn
Deemer. a gentleman of long experience
in this line of trade, and who before
coming to St. Paul was connected with
some of the leading millinery houses in
the East.
The latter part of this week Mr.
Deemer will leave for the East to make
arrangements for a complete and costly
renovation of his department, which
will easily make it the most elegant of
its kind in the city. One thousand dol
lars aione will be expended in purchas
ing draperies and swinging mirrors,
which will decorate the department;
and these, with costly rugs and rare
flowers, are intended to be a permanent
and lavish display that will add beauty
to his already elegant arrangement
that has won many compliments for his
taste from his customers.
A GREAT GROWTH
Shown by the Dry Goods House of
Durocher & Wessel. .>
- The remarkable growth of the dry
goods house of Durocher & Wessel has
caused surprise not only among local
residents but to many Eastern business
men as well. The firm can be pointed
to as an example of what grit and self
confidence can accomplish when prop
erly applied to any business. Nine
years ago the firm occupied a small
frame store and conducted their busi
ness with a very limited capital. Today
their big establishment at the corner of
Seventh and Cedar streets is a monu
ment to the energy the two members
have displayed in accomplishing so
much in so short a time. They occupy
three floors of a building each 50 by 100
feet in dimension, which are filled with
an immense stock of goods. Eighteen
clerks are employed by the firm at pres
ent, and the services of twenty others
were required during the recent busy
season. BEH
IS WIDELY KNOWN.
Mr. B. Harris, Who Runs Two
Millinery Stores.
Mr. B. Harris, the widely known
dealer in ladies' furnishings and mil
linery, is the proprietor of two well
equipped stores in St. Paul. .These-fiare
located at 201 East Seventh street and
30 East Third street. Mr. Harris gives
his personal attention to his Seventh
street store, and the Third street branch,
which is devoted exclusively to mil
linery, is in charge of Mrs. Morgeu
stern, a lady of long experience in that
branch of business.
On account of his increased trade
Mr. Harris has decided to give up his
ladies' furnishing department at his
store on Seventh street in the spring,
and will then handle nothing but mil
linery goods."
.Mr. Harris has been in- St. Paul since
1886, and came here from Philadelphia,
where he was in the same business for
several years.
IN FIVE YEARS
Messrs. Brown Bros. Have Estah
Isshed a Pajing Business.
Five years ago William and R. J.
Brown came to St. Paul from Port
Arthur, Canada, and established the
dry goods house of Brown Bros, at 07
and 09 East Seventh street. They had
been engaged in the same business at
the former city, and had also conducted
a large house, in Manitoba. In the com
paratively short time that they have
been in this city they have established
a prestige and trade tnat places them
among the leading dry goods firms of
the Northwest. "Their business was
started in St. Paul with half the space
that they occupy at present in their
large brick block, which now com
prises three floors and basement, all "•: ;<:
110 feet in size. Their large stock con
sists of a full line of dry goods aio.
notions and cents' furnishings, ami. be
sides the heads of the different depart
ments, twenty clerks are employed by
the firm to wait upon their many cus
tomers.
AN INCREASING PATRONAGE
Bestowed Upon Mme. Thompson,
East Third Street Milliner."
Mme. Thompson, the importer of fine
millinery, at OS East Third street,
and 43 Rue A La Fait, Paris,
is among the foremost milliners
in the ' West. She conducts a
fashionable and large establishment in
this city that has among its customers
many of the leading society ladies of
St. Paul. Mine. Thompson began
ness four years ago in the. Mannheimer
block,' and, as her. patronage iut-i eased
very rapidly, found - much larger and
more commodious apartments In the
building that she now occupies. She
eaters to the finest class of trade, and is
very popular with her patrons. She
visits New. York three times a year and
Paris once, and is thus* enabled to be
constantly familiar with the latest de
signs and fashions of her line. -
-A. COMPLETE STOCK
Carried by "The Bazaar'" on East
Seventh Street.
"The Bazaar," at 103 East Seventh
street, has been established at that loca
tion for over four years, and has a pay
ing trade that shows a decided increase
with every year. A. S. Loeb, the man
ager, is well known in St. Paul as an
active young business man who is des
tined some day to fill a very high posi
tion in the trade. . "The Bazaar" car
ries a large and very complete stock of
ladies' furnishings. Over half the space
in the large store is devoted to the cloak
department, which is in charge of an
efficient lady manager. Cloaks of every
quality and fashion may be found there,
and there is probably no store in the
city where a larger variety of ladies'
wear is displayed. The same maybe
said of the large glove counter in the
rear of the store, and, as a whole, "The
Bazaar" will rank among the leading
stores of its kind in the Northwest.
LIFE-LONG EXPERIENCE.
Mr. A. C. Ruby's Methods Com
mand Success.
Mr. Albert C. Kuby, at 383 West Sev
enth street,has perhaps the largest stock
of dry goods of any store outside the
business center of the city. Mr. Kuby
has grown" up in the dry goods business
in St. Paul, and was in the employ of
the largest houses. Six years he be
gan business for himself at his present
location, and, with a very humble start,
has increased his trade ami prestige
with every year, until his business has
outgrown its quarters, and it will soon
be necessary for him to flni additional
room. The keynote to Mr. Ruby's suc
cess is the honest and broad business
principles upon which he has always
conducted his establishment, and which
have won for him a high place In the
estimation of his patrons. He has re
sided on West Seventh street since 1867,
and is known by every resident on that
thoroughfare. In keeping with his
larger competitors he is now carrying
on an extensive clearance sale prepara
tory to receiving his spring stock.
A GOOD RECORD.
Mr. Classen One of the Pioneer
Business Men.
Mr. E. Classen, at 70 East Third
street, has one of the prettiest millinery
establishments to be found in any West
ern city. He has been in the same line
of business on Third street for twenty '
years, and in that long period built up
a reputation that only those like him of
long standing in the com munity are
privileged to enjoy. His store is head
quarters for the finest line of embroid
eries, and is also well stocked with the
celebrated Brainerd and Ar mstrong
wash silks. Mr. Classen is a designer
ef monograms, and has become some
what noted in this line. He also fur
nishes unique and artistic designs in
stamping, and carries a full quota of:
--newest fabrics for decorative needle-/
work. ""-BJLB3
SEVEN CORNERS MILLINER.
Miss Ostertag Has Worked Up a
Flattering Business.
Miss A. Ostertag, the well known
Seven Corners Milliner, began business
at her present location only four years ,'
ago with a stock that was necessarily':
small in proportion to her capital. :
With a thorough and practical knowl
edge of her business, developed by
years of experience iv the service of
some of the largest and most fashiona
ble milliners in the East, her patronage
began. with the first week, and has in
creased to so flattering an extent that
the lady has found it necessary to en
large her. facilities, arid on the Ist of
February will occupy much handsomer
and more commodious apartments next
door to her present location. Miss Os
tertag continues to give her personal
attention to all work that is left at her
shop, and this is one of the many rea
sons that have enabled her to build up
her lucrative and well-conducted busi
ness. WES*.
BY EFFICIENT CARE,
Mrs. A. E. Devitt Has Secured an
Excellent Patronage.
Mrs. A. E. Devitt, of 301 East Sev
enth street, is one of the leading milli
nerfof the city. She succeeded her
mother. Mrs. Maria Schwartz, in busi
ness a few years ago. The establish
ment was opened by that lady
seventeen, years ago, and has
been in existence since then.
This, it will be seen, makes it one of
the oldest, as it is best known shops
in the city. Its patronage, which was
already large when the present pro
prietor . took charge, has increased
greatly under her efficient manegement.
Mrs. Devitt and her assistants are now
busy preparing for the spring trade,
ana are already receiving large consign
ments of goods for ncr opening sale.

C. W. Williams' Departure in

Good Things.
Last season's work has shown that the
dead stallion Nutbourne (full brother to
the famous Nutwood, by Belmont, out
of the. dam of Maud S), that trotted a
trial for Mr. Bonner as a four-year-old
in 2:26%, was capable of getting as
good race horses as* any stallion in the
land, says a writer in the * Sportsman.
Great as is his full brother, the mighty
Nutwood, we doubt if Nutwood ever
got a better race horse, everthiug con
sidered, thau Nutbourne got in Chey
enne, 2:15%. In his last race at Lex
ington, this blind stallion started in a
field of eight and won in straight heats
in 2:18%, 2:15%, 2:15%, defeating such
campaigners and race horses as Miss
Alice, 2:17%; Charleston, 2:15; Abbie
V, 2:15%: Bonnie Willmore, 2:14%, and
Pickpania, 2:14%, etc.
Breeders are hunting the country over
for daughters of Nutwood since Arion
came out and trotted so marvelously ou
the Pacific coast as a two-year-old. Who
can say but that the daughters of Nut

are just as good, and . why should they
not be just as good? Directly in this
connection is a letter written by Sam
uel Gamble, in the Breeder and Sports
man, San Francisco, as follows: >_
"I notice in the American Trotter an
item where it says: 'Immediately upon
receipt of the news that Arion, the won
der of the horse world up to this present
day, had taken a two-year-old record of
2:10%, C. W. Williams wired Senator
Stanford to book ten high-bred fillies by
the horse Allerton, 2:09>4, to Arion,
season of 1893, at twenty-five hundred
dollars ($2,500) each.
"Therein it says that Mr. Williams is
a strong believer in developed speed.
While the combination of Arion, 2:10%,
and Allerton. 2:O9Ji, out of the ten
fillies mentioned, should produce great
speed and blood that would send a trot
ter close to the 2:00 mark, yet I cannot
agree with some that the combination
of the two records, 2 :09% and 2:10%,
alone will do the act. In my judgment
the produce by the full brother to Arion,
2:10%, and a full sister to Allerton,
2:09%, with the energy of Williams to
develop and drive the produce, the
moneyed power also, with the deter
mination of Senator Stanford to make
them trot or diet then I think they could
be made to perform just as well as with
the record. I wish to be plainly under
stood that I don't think the record will
stop the produce from trotting.
B*"My advice to young breeders of mo
derate means is, do not get discouraged
if you cannot pay $750, or $1,000, or
$1,500, or $2,500 service fees, but breed
to the very best blood Tines that your
means allow you, and you will prosper
by so doing, and in time be right in the
swim. Also just ask some of these how
fast a record the sire of Allertou had (I
well know that he could get in the com
mon 2:80 list); ask how fast a record the
dam ot Allerton had; ask again, if you
please, how fast a record the grand old
hero, the late Electioneer, had, also the
dam of Arion. The same may apply to
Sunol, Palo Alto, Maud S. Jay Eye See,
Nancy Hanks, Anteeo' Prince Wilkes,
Axtell, and others that I could mention.
Ask again, you young discouraged
breeder, why Mr. Williams did not
ship Lou (the dam of the great Axtell,
2:32.) out here to California and breed
her to the fastest stallion son of the old
hero, George Wilkes — Guy Wilkes,
2:15%. Mr. Williams thought that per
haps it was too far to ship to Guy
Wilkes with a service fee of $250.
"No; Mr. Williams did just what I
would be compelled now to do. He bred
to a full brother of Guy Wilkes without
a record— and a deformed horse at that.
Now, here was a case where the sire,
William L, had no record, and Lou, dam
of Axtell, had no record: but it pro
duced, in my judgment, if BuddDoble
gets him right, one of the fastest stal
lions up to the present day, and was
sold (so reported) for $105,000. Now,
here was no record in sire or dams of
Axtell, 2:12 at three years old, and Al
lerton. 2:0934. Now, both of these two
noted stallions aie doing stud duty at
the large fee of $1,000. The same two
stallions made Mr. Williams notable
with his good head, energy and deter
mination, and with the great blood lines
that he used." BEfIMBI
GRAND OLD IROQUOIS.
His Record of Great Wins Is Yet
Unequaled.
The following by a noted turf writer
will recall an old-time favorite of all
horse lovers: BB
Though a century has come and gone
since the Derby was inaugurated on
Epsom Downs, but one horse, American
bred and bom. has achieved the honors
of winning this most sought-for turf
prize, a distinction which insures tiie
victor a safe place in turf history, until
its sports, its traditions and its glories
shall have faded away. Iroquois alone
holds this honor, and in his stud pad
dock at far-famed Belle Meade he wears
his crown with the knightly bearing of
the human kings in olden days. Had he
won, only the Derby he could have well
rested on his laurels, but his turf career
throughout was *"as brilliant . as the
noonday sun, and as radiant as an army
of banners." HBv"MVM
The Derby, St. Leger and the Prince
of Wales' stakes all fell into his cornu
copia and it hangs as a trophy repre
senting a record yet to be equaled, as
Iroquis is the only horse, living or dead,
that has captured all three of "the races
above mentioned. He lost, the two
thousand guineas because he was not
fit, being beaten by Peregrine, a horse
he afterwards turned the tables on by
be?ting in the Derby. As a -two-year
old he won the Chesterfield stakes, the
Newmarket two-year-old plate, the two
year-old stakes at Epsom and the Le
vant stakes at Goodwood, while, as a
three-year-old, outside of the Derby, St.
Leger and Prince of Wales' stakes, he
took into camp -the St. James' Palace
stakes at Ascot, the Burwell stakes at
Goodwood, the Newmarket stakes and
Newmarket Derby at Ascot. He did
not run as a four-year-old. but at five he
won the Stockbridge cup, carrying 130
pounds. He won in stakes and parses
as a three-year-old- *""84,618, which, com
bined with his earnings in his two-year
old and later.form, swells his turf win
nings to an amount near lo the $100,000.
Iroquois was bred by the late Aristides
.Welch, Erdenheim slud, Pennsylvania,
and : sold to P. Lor i I lard, who retained
him in his uossession until his breaking
up sale, when lie wos knocked down to
his present owner. Gen. W. 11. Jackson,
of Belle Meade stud, Tennessee, for
£12,000. Later on the latter was com
pelled to pay ¥34,000 to retain him at the
division s«ale at. Belle Meade, which
stands, with the exception of the amount
paid for imp. St. Blaise, as the highest
price a horse has ever sola for at auc
tion in America for breeding purposes..
Iroquois, was foaled in 1878, and is.
therefore, now in his thirteenth-year.
Tansey's Great Record.
The oldest mare that has come under
observation was Tausey, owned at.Mil
lersburg, O. She was foaled Jan. 4,
1845, and died April 24, 1891, and was
therefore forty-six years, three months
and twenty days old. -At the age of
twenty-nine years she produced a foal,
and at thirty-two gave birth to twins.
At the age of forty-five , years she was
again bred, and appeared to be in foal.
This is about the greatest record ever
made, by a broodmare in the line ot
fertility and longevity.
PLUNGER WILLIAMS.
His Bold Methods Make Some
People Nervous.
The announced programme for the
Independence meeting and the low en
trance rate inspires a Sportsman writer
to say: The great fault of the American
people is that we are never willing to
stop when we have hit the bull's eye.
How few great failures would occur if
men would stop when they had reached
the top, instead of trying to build a lad
der upon which to climb higher. When
the ladder breaks, and it is only a ques
tion of time when it will, the victim
falls, not back to the top, but usu
ally to the bottom. This is in ac
cordance with human nature. The
man that is too cautious never ventures
enough to ensure a sensational success
it he should win. The man that vent-'
ures and wins often lacks a balance
wheel to keep him steady after success
has put all his energies, in motion. C.
W. Williams is the plunger among the
daring speculators in trotting matters.
He no sooner wins than he doubles the
stakes. There has never yet been but
' one sequel to such a career; sometimes
it is delayed by unusual ability or ex
treme good fortune, but the different
routes eventually all converge at the
same point. _ Among the comments on
the course pursued by the energetic
man at Independence The follow
ing is froma prominent turf pa
per published in the bluegrass re
gion : "I don't see how in the name of
common sense Williams* can afford to
offer stakes with a 1 per cent entrance
fee," said a well-known trotting horse
man in the Phoenix hotel the other
night. "The man must be crazy," con
tinued the gentleman. "I have had
many years' experience in managing a
trotting track and the only reason 1 can
give for the lowa man Offering stakes
with entrance fees from only 1 to 5 per
cent is that success has made him mad.
Then, too, he splits the payments up so
small, and gives the nominators every
chance to get out if they find their en
tries are not fit to take the final prepa
ration. Oh, yes, I admire Williams'
pluck and enterprise, but mind what I
tell you, he will go broke in less thau
three years if he persists in offering
15,000 stakes with only 1 to 5 per cent
entrance."
, This is the opinion of a well-posted
Kentucky turfman. **B*j"|
BOASTS FROM KANSAS.
Several Good Things Claimed for
the State.
An exchange from the Jay hawker
state has the following: Charles Mar
vin, who drove the Palo Alto horses to
the world's records, was formerly a res
ident of Kansas. Walter E, 2: IS, the
grand circuit campaigner, was bred in
Kansas. Kansas has three first-class mile
tracks and will soon have another. A
Kansa3-bred three-year-old pacer sold
recently for ?5,000. A horse called
Banquo, bought out of an emigrant
team at Junction City,Kan.,and shipped
to Boston, became a campaigner and
trotted to a record of 2:21. A Kansas
bred colt won the twelve-heat contest
at Independence, lo.,the longest race on
record. Ethan Allen, the founder of
the family which bears his name, spent
his last days and died in Kansas. Smug
gler, 2:15 L 4, champion of his class from
1876 to ISB4, was trained in Kansas.
Robert McGregor, 2:17%, one of the
great sires of trotters, was a resident of
Kansas a number of years. One of the
curiosities sent out by Kansas was a
trotting mare whose sire was a saddle
gaited pony. from Missouri, and. whose
granclam was a broncho pony. She
trotted to a record of 2:27. Eleven
Kansas horses have entered the 2:30 list
who trace to no known source of trot
ting blood, and one Kansas mare whose*
dam was a broncho is the dam of two
2:30 trotters. mW*\\
ERRORS OF JUDGMENT.
A Story Which May Point a
Moral.
The judgment of men as to the future
outcome of horses is often wofully bad,
and numerous cases could be mentioned
showing what insignificant figures some,
which afterward became the most valu
able of animals, were sold for during
their early obscurity. The following
bit in the history of Egthorne, 2:12%, is
a case in point. Egthorne was once
owned by Mr. Baker, a hotelkeeper of
Watkins, N. Y. Dr. Craig, of Hamil
tau, Ont., went over, on invitation of
Mr. Baker, to look at Egthorne, as his
then owner was desirous of selling him.
He did not suit the doctor, however,
and, as he was anxious to secure
a horse, he asked Egthorne's
owner if there wasn't anything
else in the neighborhood he could look
over while he was there. This elicited
the information that a friend of his some
twenty miles distantowned-a real smart
kind of a horse, and he agreed to go
with him and look him up. The trip
was undertaken on one of the coldest
days of a very cold winter, and the re
sult was that Dr. Craig purchased the
horse now owned by him, and known as
Frank Ellis, 2:2G%, winner of the first
prize on two occasions at the Toronto
fair. After the purchase was consum
mated Mr. Baker challenged the doctor
to trade Ellis to him for the horse he
owned, and, after a good deal of barter
ing, he offered the Canadian Egthorne
and 5400 to boot for Ellis. The doctor,
however, didn't like the former, and
refused a deal on any terms. Since
then Egthorne has kept on steadily
reducing his record, and even before he
had shown such great speed was sold
by Mr. Baker for *~*16,000.
LIKES AND DISLIKES.
Marvin Loved Palo Alto and Irri
tated Sunoi.
Marvin never seemed to be particular
ly infatuated with Arion, says a corre
spondent in an exchange. It might
have been because the colt was so little
trouble to • him and taxed . his patience
so little, but he loved . Palo Alto best,
and was more often round his stall.
He did not go around Sunol much, be
cause she heartily disliked him and his
presence was always a disturbing ele
ment to her. He thought a lot of Bell
Bird and talked to her continually, but
he seemed to forget that he had one
greater than them all in Manetie's son,
and paid little attention to him. He is

alovable horse, with agood disposition
and a confidential way of nosing about
one that catches you. He is as playful
as a kitten, but in the hours that I have
sat around his stall I never saw him do

The Natural Horseman.
Here is a piece of moralizing with
plenty of point to it: The natural
horseman is born with the love for
horses. His soul finds rest from weari
ness in the company of his loved and
favorite companion. In the, large, square
box stall petting his noble animal, is
where his tired and overworked brain
recuperates, and where his leisure hours
are passed. The speculative horseman
fills the hay manger and the feed box as
a stepping stone to fill his purse. His
shrine is the plentiful dollars, and his
love the cold, hard touch of. the silver
dollar. It illuminates his path and
brightens his hopes more than pure love
for the animal. .The horse distinguishes
the difference, and parts reluctantly iv
one case— without concern in the other.
