breeder Of Herznc, ono of the most wonder
full tkree-year-old colts Of modern times. II
WIS, however, in the hands of that thorough
sportsman and eleSant oId-time Kentuck,
gentleman, Major b. q. Thomas. that Her
zoc gained his great renown. I preslIm,
that there is no doubt that he WAS one among
the hest three-year-oldS ever stripped il
America. Last wear Mr. I;rins,ead sent .
draft of his stable Fast. Among the lot wer,
several winners, to wit: Haric, Charette,
and Flash of Lightning. The last -name,l is .
real good one; and Anthony TAYLOR, in who's.
able hands she closed the season, told I'll,
writer that next wear she will be able To stay
over /, distance OF ground.
Major Thomas also sent a stable North
but he WA, not -,c,,--ful. Just here m,,-l
he allowed To saw that his bad luck was moi

MIR. Charles Littlefie,i, whom consider ons
among the most capable trainers is America.
Mr.. Gripstead's farm contains .iO acres o,
As fine land AS is To he found in the Unite,
States or elsewhere. His farm i entirely IL

the grass was nearly two feet high. He iced.
his stock almost entirely on oats and corn
His Mac. is fenced off in a number Of lots OF

a good stable or 4 substantial she'd, and il
many of them there are cisterns, though il

As il is of the colts and filIies that We pro

that there are some twenty broodmarcs ol

stead regards this as one Of the mos, prom
