up to Fanny (2l), imported in dam
in 1856. Fannette had record in
July, 1878, of ii pounds of butter

at the same time and place, the two
heifers, the one "Hermione of Lin
wood" by Top Sawyer, (I,404), LIST
dam Haidee of Linwood, (5,I37),
her 9th dam imported in 1858; the
other, Fortuna of Linwood, by same
sire as Hermione, out of imp. La
Falaise. These heifers, calved car
in July and August, 1879, are as
pretty specimens as / have ever
seen. They are of. very striking
colors, the one light steel gray
and white, the other a lemon fawn,
with small white spot on shoul.
der. They look so neat and fresh
that they remind one of pair OF
Is year old brides decked, in their
second days costumes. Alder
Park also has some fine Shorthorn
COWS, but they are not registered
and 1 pass any particular mention
of them; they will doubtless show
in time some fine specimens of the
graded Jerseys.

the stable of horses which Mai.
Stacy has on his farm, thinking |
would give myself space to give
nv opinion without being cramped
or hurried, bat | find that one fancy
and then another has led me of the
main track until now l find l must
restrain myself lest l should tax
your space too greatly. There is
on the farm one of the best half
mile tracks | have yet seen. 1t is
as level as a parlor floor, and the
ground Is admirably suited for the
purpose. Mr.. Braden, assisted by
Mr.. Tom Overton, is educating
some s horses which l will mention
as rapidly Us | can. The magnifi
cent stallion, Bay Woodford, comes
first on the list. He is so well known
in Giles county that it is unneces
sary for me to so into particulars
with him His breeding cannot be
surpassed by any horse in the coun
try. He was foaled April loUf.
1866, sired by Edwin Forrest, {soh
of Kentucky Hunter, End dam By
imp. Messenger, J LIST dam by Nam
brine Chief; End dam by Woodford,
Che by Kosciusko, thoroughbred,
son of Sir Archy); 3rd dam pre-
mium mare. Woodford never ap-
peared in u public trot except IN n
fair ring, and was never sufficiently
trained to show what is in him,
nor have any of his colts ever been
tested in public, but large number
of them are the best OF road ard
farm horses, Last fall, 81 our fair,
under the skillful and kind man
agement OF Mr.. Joe Braden, he
showed great Improvement IN his
speed and promises to Go still bet
ter this fall. Maj. Stacy has also
in his stables a fine young stall
lion, Woodlawn Chief, bred by
Capt. Thomas Gibson, Of Mary
county; sired by Star Chief, (son OF
Clark Chief, sire of Chieftain,
Croxie, 2:193, John E., 2:2S4; Lady
Prewitt, 2:30, and other good ones.
1st dam Lizzie Craig by Paragon
Morgan, (son of Vermont Black
Hawk J; End dam by Ole Bull by Old
Pilot; 3rd dam said to be thor
oughbred mare. Lizzie Craig is
the dam of Lizzie End, now Lizzie
Gibson, who won the Rural sun
stake for three year Odds, trotted at
Nashville, November, 1877, and has
record the following spring OF
2:364. Woodlawn Chief took the
blue ribbon over q field of six 9th
ers, two of them Enfields, as a suck
ling. He has but two foals and
they are extra fine and large, and
give promise that he will be a fine
breeder. His dam has made fast
time in public, but l have no means
to give her record.
Maj. Stacy lately purchased of
Jno. ID. Reynolds his famous old
mare. Nettie, with filly foal to High
Private. This old mare has been
one of the best roadsters ever
known in this county, aad i regret
that l cannot give her pedigree.
Our people have been too negligent
about pedigrees, but L think they
are improving. Belle Ballentine,
by Old Columbus, dam Mr.. A. j.
Ballentine's famous old Belle, has
fine foal to Woodford, Molly
Bang, by Woodford, dam old Fly,
(dam Of Little Mack, by old Colum-
bus.) Mr.. Braden has in training a
promising FLY four years old, by
Woodford, out of Belle Ballentine,
and also the bay gelding Warrior,
formerly known as the George
Short horse. This horse will make
the PAGERS that come in contact
with him in the future let out a
link or two. 1t would be easy to
convert HIM to a trotter and l think
he would be fast.
Mr.. Braden is training a fine 3
year ola filly, Gypsy Girl, by Wood
ford; LIST dam Belle Nance, another
fine mare whose pedigree is mis-
placed. Maj. Stacy has on his
place some ten or twelve brood
mares from which be is breeding
mule colts. Some of them are very
superior animals and well bred, but
have already exceeded my limit.
