On Tuesday, the 25th day of October, Killip & Co. will expose at public auction a draft from the breeding farms of J. B. Haggin Esq., consisting of trotting-bred, work, draft and Shetland ponies. The trotters are by such noted sires as Geo. IT. Patchen Jr., Echo, Algona, Norwood, Alaska, and other noted stallions, and from mares that are of equally as good breeding and of high form.

The union of these two families has resulted in some of the very best horses of the day, and it can scarcely be otherwise than that some rare bargains will be obtained. The Shetland ponies will set everyone of our boy readers agog wbeu it is learned that these pets of the childrentwill be presented, and it is long odds that fathers and mothers will have little peace until promises are obtained.
