The produce OF such combination.
OF blood rs is possessed in Western
Lad has clearly demonstrated by
the large per cent OF trotters and
uniformity, that fast trotters can be
bred with q remarkable degree oil
certainty. Western Lad has war.
rant by heritage to produce size
range and speed. His breeding will
Recommend itself to any intelligent
horseman, rs he combines those
strains OF blood that have produced
the greatest per cent. OF trotters. He
represents the alliance Of the win.
ming families and has descended
through those branches which have
been most successful in the Stud OF

added renown to the trotting tur
and distinguished their own families
A careful and critical examination
cannot fail to satisfy every unpreju
diced mind that a horse SO stronRl,
bred in the best trotting families ii

uniformity. The wise breeder vii
therefore look facts squarely In tn
face, and select such blood to hree,
from as has produced trotters witt

OF the very best kind.
