in England, and his dam Il tull-brcd Ken

action MAZEPPA is unsurpassed. He is a
No. | roadster, and at the Agricultural Fair
held in Lancaster, in June, '59, MAZEPPA
was awarded the first premium.
He has stood at the Gap and at Chestnut
Level, in Lancaster county, Pa, formerly,
and at various places in Cecil county, Md,
while owned by Black Il Bro, never falling
to make Target seasons than any of his COM

The present owners time being so occu-

demands, is the primary reason for offering
HIM at public sale.
