The winner of the colt race, Fred A., is a
fine large stylish colt, dark iron gray, with
heavy name and tail, 3 years old April 1st,
level headed and even as the tick of clock.
Sired by NJ. T. Grattan's stallion, Trampie, by
Tramp. Trample is proving himself to be a
some, level-headed and natural trotters.
Breeders will do well to remember that there
/ is such horse as Trample.
Gypsy Clay if good sized iron gray mare,
level headed, open gated and in time will trot
fast She is by Pat Gilmore, he by Clay Pr
lot.
Lille B. is nice little chestnut mare speedy
| but, like her driver and owner, little hot
| headed.
Sleepy Pat is fine toppy bay gelding, by
Pat Gilmore, but his name Sleepy Pat is a
misnomer as he is far from being
| sleepy. With but three weeks
driving he showed lots of speed, but was wild
/ and rank. But with that steady level headed,
close mouthed Jas. Goodin behind him, in
| time will make sure enough trotter.
The free-f or-all was horse race from end
| to end, but Certain was too certain for the
balance to-day. If Certain's friends had
been half as certain as the horse the Doubtful
crowd would not have been the least in doubt
as to what had become of their money. Ger
tain is owned by Prof G. W. Levins, county
| superintendent of schools, and is used by him
as road horse. Prof Levins is not only a
scholar, but judge and lover of good horses.
It was mainly through his efforts that we
have that fine young stallion Almont Mes.

any county.
| The day was stormy and bad, the wind
blowing almost a gale. but the crowd of
about three hundred stuck it out to the end.
| At some future time 1 will try aud give you
| description of some of our fine young stock
| as bred by DIR. Wedge, John G.. Cooley, and
others. Respectfully Yours,
The M. W. A. G.. N. T. D.
