Mr. Bonner's letter to Mr. Charles Green, of the St. Louis Association, is as follows: Dear Sih: Maud S. is not going West this season, or I should be pleased to oblige y?'- people. She has been in training -iuce early last spring, and the people t both the West and East have had an opportunity of seeing her. Since I bought; her she has twice beaten her record, and now lias the fastest quarter, the fastest half, the fastest three-quarters, and the fastest mile ever trotted, and every lover of the mare will, -I think agree with me that she is now entitled to a rest. Besides, I have had but one ride behind her since I purchased lier, and want to drive her a little myself, so I have ordered her to he brought home to my own stable. Yours truly, . Robert Bonner. |
