j. II. Gilbretb, Esq, of Kendalfs Mills, has
lust sold u beautiful trotting stallion. coming
two wears old. sired by Gilbreth Knox and
known as the Geo. Furber colt" to .. Nj.
Shaw, Esq, of Bangor, the former owner of
the fast trotting stallion Gen. Mcclellan. Also
to Waldo r. Pierce & Co., of Bangor, another
of the Gilbreth Knox family called ''Silver
eve" coming two years old, both biack, ana
said to be very valuable and fast trotting colts.
Two thousand dollars was offered by Mr..

of the Glbreth Knox family. similar offer
was made by a Boston gentleman few weeks
ago He is claimed to be quite wonder
amongst trotting colts
We copy the above from the Maine Farmer
Since the sales mentioned, Mr.. Gilbreth mas
sold the promising young stallion, sired by his
"Knox," called Lively Times" to G. j
Shaw, of Burnham of the firm of Chas. Shaw
& Son, tanners, well known to be owners OF
valuable stock. From the sales this Spring
from Mr.. Gilbrcth's stables, and those of farm
ers in this vicinity, it will be noticed that
Gilbreth Knox stock stands at the head,
amongst first class horsemen. 1t will be re-
lnembered that this horse was awarded the TIVE
highest premiums of the New England Fair,
1869, being for the fastest stallion" and
''the best stallion with progeny" In one race
last Fall he trotted three heats faster than
2.30, when only seven years old, and never
fitted for fast trotting. HIS best record of
half mile, in race last Fall, was l.l04, and
quarter mile at the rate of q Is.
1t is said that his May day" exhibition at
Kendalls Mills, brought out some very valu-
able colts, threatening in due time, "they say,
to eclipse even their famous sire and grand
sire, the two best horses in New England. So
says the Waterville Mail.
"Knox- them ALL" at the Park in this city,
is most beautiful animal. The owner has
said that he would not take $4,000 for him.
