1t may be of interest to your readers to
know that among the brood mares on the
farm is one formerly owned by George G.
Lobdell of your city. The stock raised
here makes not only trotters with futures,
but it also is found to be of the very best
quality for road use. They are well
broken and when matured sufficiently to
sell are perfectly gentle. A brief visit to
the interesting place and an observation
OF the action of several of the
scions of this house on the
half-mile track connected with it has led
me to drop you these lines, believing that
letter showing that there is an enter
prise such as this so near to your city and
State will be not only interesting reading
for the present, but will be found of some
benefit to those of your readers who may
be, either now or in the future, in search
of stable from which to pick superior
roadster or trotter, and such one is
Speedwell.

doubtless forgotten how Republican senate
refused to confirm any Of President John

doctrine for Republican senate to reject
Johnson's appointments, but it is alto
