STOCK ITEMS.


The increasing attention devoted each
succeeding year to the breeding aud devel-
opment of the trotting horse, throughout
the whole country, is having It's legitimate
and natural results. And 1t Is with much
pride and pleasure we note the many pleas
ing instances where Rutland has honorably
and lucratively derived largely therefrom.
But ii is not our intention to enumerate
here these pleasing results, but lay before
the farmers and breeders of Rutland and
vicinity the magnificent opportunity offer
cred, during the coming season, to improve
the trotting blood of Vermont, and by so
doing they will be in few years not only
able to compete successfully with turfmen
of other states but again restamp the faded
leaf allotted to her, in the history of the
American turf, for the last fifteen years
And after reading over the following bril-
liant galaxy of stock horses, in Rutland, we
feel confident they can easily select there
from a worthy sire
First in our minds eye is the noted stall
lion Tam OShanter, by Green Mountain
Banner, he by Black Banner, and he by
Hills Black Hawk dam by Ethan Allen.
The fine trotting qualities of this stallion
are too well known to need any lengthy
notice but we feel confident to predict
that, ere many years, he will prove himself
as valuable an accession to the breeding in
terests of Vermont as his famous great
grandsire Black Hawk. We say fine
three months old filly, his only colt, last
week, and, although young, it can readily
be seen that to her he has transmitted his
trotting qualities to vast extent, besides
being large and finely developed filly for
her age. He is kept at the Rutland Trot-
ting Park. Here also can be found the
beautiful dapple gray stallion Young En-
gineer, 15l hands high, and weighs 1850
pounds, by Evans Engineer he by the
Breed horse, aud he by Hills Black Hawk;
dam, the well known trotting mare Fannie,
owned by Ward NJ. Lincoln of Brandon,
she by Hills Sir Charles I'd dam by a
thoroughbred stallion of great speed, and
stands 10 hands high. Her colts are all
natural trotters, rs might be expected from
the above excellent pedigree.
Woodburn Pilot, black, 16 hands high,
by Alexander Pilot, jr he by,Pacing Pilot
out of Nancy Pope by Havoc he by Sir
Charles Cd DAM Nancy Taylor, by i'm
ported Alfred. The dam of Woodburn
Pilot was by Clay's Mambrno Chief, the
sire of Lady Thorn. This fine bred 81 al
lion may be seen at the stock farm of J. N.
Baxter. He will, doubtless, prove worthy
representative of the renown Pilots.
Jack Thorn, coal black stallion, three
years old, by DR.. Hen. Mambrino Patchen;
the sire of Lady Stout, with trotting rec
ord of 227a in her three-year old form
dam Kitty Coon, by Cooks American
Clay he by Cassius M. Clay, ir. From
the above pedigree, it will be seen that this
is one of the best bred stations in the state
He is the property of Edward Fl. Ripley.
Gen. Baxter, bay 1872 hand high by
Young Ethan, he by Ethan Allen and he
by Black Hawk; dam, the Knott mare with
record of PAL as a four year old; she
out of the Barlow mare, with q record of
1886 and she by Abdallah the Knott mare
was sired by the Churchill horse and he by
Black Hawk. 1t will be seen that Gen.
Baxter decends by two channels from
Black Hawk. and has strong infusion of
the blood of Abdallah the source of the
great trotters of the Hambletonian blood.
He is owned by DIR. M. Goldsmith.
There are other well bred stations, but
we have been unable to get their pedigree;
and In conclusion would say more anon.
