stallion "Patrick Henry" for $500
"Black Hawk Telegraph" the sire Of
UStrideaway" and other fast ones was
raised by Mr.. Baldwin and disposed of at
very high figure. My curiosity was fully
satisfied and felt amply repaid for my Wis
il by a sight of that trotting prodigy "Ticon-
deroga" formerly ebay Azro.") This IA
nous horse now years old trotted when
three years and nine months old half
mile in I l-2 and was sold to ID. w. Beck
Ter ESQ, of Boston for $4,000. "Ticon-
deroga" is by abraham" and has proba-
bly, trotted faster than any three year old in
the United States. "Kitty Cook another
of "Abrahams" colts of the same age for
merly held by Mr.. Baldwin trotted l.2 mile
on the turf at Mount Hope in IL, and has
shown quarter on the ice in SO seconds.
But the ne rlus nitro of Mr.. Baldwins
horses is the Bay Mare "Alce," 6 years
old and sired by "Abralam." "Alice," is
model of beauty, 10 hands high, and per-
feet in proportions. She has the g1miest
look of any horse in his stables.
ALICE mas TROrrrD IN 2;23
and won her first race in three
straight cuts in $50. 2:2G, . $50,
under pull in every heat and without a
skip. Before another year We shall hear
|
Chronicle an account of the race. "Jhe
mare "Alice" who never trotted race be-
fore, astenishcd herself, the multitude who
saw her, and even her owner, by showing
n heat in the three minnie race in '2G un'
der strong pull. The style of action can
be compared to nothing but machinery in
motion. Not Il skin was made. Nothing
but that far-rcaching pcndulum-lilke motion
from beginning to end "Alce' can show
full mile on the ice in less thau > go and
a quarter in 80 seconds with simply country
training. | might describe the beautiful
mare Dolly Dot well known to your
readers, with some Is or 80 Abraham and
Lambert colts Of various ages, but l can
not particularize further than TO mention
the 8 year old stallion "Grand Duke" The
Duke" was sired by "Lambert,' and in
many points resembles his sire; but think
is more perfectly proportioned This also
is or G of HJennie's'colts. Mr.. Baldwin calls
this his ,'baby' and informed me that he
intended retaining him, although offered a
large sum for him. The "Grand Duke
is Is hands dark chestnut, with white stripe
and heel and is worth journey of a hun
bred miles to any lover OF Mr.. Murray'
ideal, sthe perfect horse" | intend send
ing my friend Budd Doblo up to look a
him. Mr. Baldwin has had great success
to breeding TO
LAMBERT AND ABRAHAM"
The latter stallion, the sire of more trot
tiers than any horse of his age, was bred b,
Mr.. Baldwin. is now II years old, bloot
bay, 10 IL hands high, black points, weigh
1000 lbs, and is fast trotter. His colt
are almost invariably bay, of good size
stylish and natural trotters. In this lette
| have given but an imperfect description
of Mr.. Baldwins stock, but enough can b'
CLEANED from the above to fully sustain hi
reputation as breeder and owner of som
of the best horses in the union. My ack
nowlcdgments are due 10 Mr.. Baldwin TO
his kind attention and courteous treatment
/ am also indebted to Chas. +. Pinchn Esq
of Ticonderoga for courtesies at his hands
By the way Mr.. Pinchin is the happy pos
ssssor
OF A j YEAR OLD MARE,
bay. ly Abraham - (raised in Oh
well Vt.) which is as fine, and rang
a colt as | have ever seen. Sll
shows remarkable trotting actor
and is destined to be fast one. She ca
now show quarter on turf with but fe
weeks country handlingin about 40 second
l trust Mr.. Pinchin's fondest expectation
may be realized in this colt, as he is an il
dustrous persevering man, and withal
very clever reins man.
/ hope to be able to pay Ticonderog
another visit ere many months and sha
make a note of what / see.
