The Famous Trotters in Winter — Finest Herses im the o1 [From the New York Sun} Mr. Robert Bonner’s noted trotters have returned from his farm near Tarrytown, and have taken winter quarters in his stabie in 5ist near 5th avenue. In the first spacious box stall of the com- modious stable stands Dexter, the ackno: edged monarch of the turf. He is by Ham- bietonian,dam a Star mare. He stands 15 hands 24 inches high, and is a bright bay, With @ white face and three white legs. He was foaled in 1858. Dexter was never in bet- ter condition, being as fresh and spirited as @ three year-old colt. His achievements on the turf, as is known to all the world, have never been equaled. Ridden by Johnny Murphy, he trotted a mile under the sadile over the Union Course in 2:18. In 165 he beat Stonewall Jackson in a three mile trot under saddle. Trotting in harness inst Ethan Allen and mate, on the ‘ashion Course, in 1867, he made a half mile on the outside of the track in 1:06, and finish- ed the milein 216. In 1866, drawing a wa eS he trotted two miles in 4:56, the fastest ‘wo miles on record. Driven by Mr. Bonner, over the Prospect Park course, and drawing & road wagon, the weight of driver, blankets and wagon being 319 pounds, be mae the first quarter in 31 seconds, the half mile in 4:08, the agg Ae ag in L454, aud the mile in 2:21. This was his greatest perform- ce, and was certainly a spleudit achieve- ment. This time was taken by Messrs Geo. Hall. James Boche, and Wm. M. Parks. Mr. Bonner at the time offered $100,090 for any borse in the world that would equal this rformance. Dexter's memorable mile at affalo, where he trolted in 2:17 ¥, beating Flora Temple's best time, (2:19y), stood for anumber of years unmatched. At Hamil- ton Park, Canada, in 1567, he trotted the sec- ond quarter in a first baif mile in 3i sec- onds. This is the fastest quarter ever trotted in a public race, and the same — Kept up for @ mile would make a 2:04 gait. In the next stall stands Grafton, by Waxy. dam Kavanaugh’s Gray Eagie. He is a sorrel gelding six years old, with a white Stripe in the face, stands sixteen hands quarter of an inch high. With and @ Splendid girth, loins and thighs, he is con- sidered the best six-year-old colt that is Known, besides which he has adocile temper, obeys the slightest touch of thereip. In the grand circuit at Cleveland, after being Griven three successive miles at a speed without having been stopped to sponge or blanket,he went on and trotted the fourth mile in harness in 2.45. Mr. Wm. Lovell, owner of the late American girl, whose word is law among turimen, said that this mile of Grafton's was the best and fastest under the circumstances ever trotted on the American turf. Next stands Joe Elliott, a brown gelding nearly sixteen hands high, by Edward Ev. erett. dam unknown. ’n four yi old be bad a record of 2.33. and was then known as the Bogert colt. Mr. Bonner purchase him a year later. His fine style, great strength, and bold, sprightly action at that time were considered remarkable.

He is a beautiful Stallion, stands fifteen hands one inch high, a bright has ogi three white legs and white face. He has a fine trotting action, aud plenty of game and endurance. Mr. Bonner urcLased him when he was three years old, rom Mr. George B. Alley. At thatage he was driven over Fleetwood park by Carl Burr, who weighed 210 pounds, making a mile in Startie had then been broken to har- ness but four months. Before he was five years old he trotted amilein 2:194. This trial of was announced in the newspapers, laying the foundation of Startle’s public record. -Sim Hodgland, Robert Fletcher aud Commodore ige were the judges on the stand. Five days later he made a half mile at Fleetwood in 104%. Johnny Murphy, while exercising him, drove hima mile in 2:204 without at any point putting the glorious animal to its highest speed. Morphy said that if Mr. Bonner would allow him to give the great stallion his head, he could drive him a mile in 2:14 or 2:15. When six years old Startle trotted a full mile at Fleetwood park in 2:19. r madeover the ate, being only equaled by the time of Pocahontas. Next in order is the beautiful mare Poca- hontas, by Ethan Allen, out ofthe celebrated pacing mare Pocahontas. She was foaled 1p 1850. She is a mahogany bay, standing 15 hands 2 inches high, with four black legs. She unites handsome outlines with great power ard a sweeping action. She has feet of iron and an extremely hardy constitution. Mr. Bonner purchased her in Boston of Mr. Ephraim Simmons at a marvelous price Shortly afu r she had trotted a race in which she made a mile in 2264. Ben Mace drove ber in 2:18 over the Fashion Course, and Johnny Murphy in 2:19 over Fleetwood. Mr. Bonner has refused 360,000 for her, offered by Den Mace, who desired to put heron the turf. estey Boy and Mosley are a team of dark bays; beautifally matched in color.
