GRANT AS "A HORsEBREEDER.

Turf, Field and Farm.l
Mr.. Nat. Carlin, the efficient superintendent |
Of Gen. U. S. Grants breeding farm at Kirk |
wood, Mo-, has closed arrangements with Mr..
Is. f. Akers Of the Kansas Stud Farm, for the |
purchase of the tgotting stallion Rhode Island, |
which horse will be pl ced at the head of Gen. |
Grants trotting stud Rhode Island is a
brown horse, foaled 1869, sired by Whitehall
(son Of North American, by Sir Walter), dam |
by Niger Baby (son Of Tiger Whip; I'd dam |
q mare of great endurance and some speed, |
bred in New Jersey; pedigree not traced.
Mr.. Carlin, who has entire control Of the |
farm, has at various times made valuable ad- |
ditions thereto, in the way Of thoroughbred |
mares, and has become convert to the |
theory that indisputably good trotting stall |
lions bred to these mares must turp out |
trotters. A great deal, OF course, depends |
upon the iudicious selection OF thoroughbred
mares and right kind of stock to breed them |
to. Mr. Carlin's Judgment will, we think, be
borne out by the results. We are promised
at an early day q full list Of the stock on the
Presidents farm, in Missouri, which, when
received, will be laid before our readers.
