NOTE.
Having received a cordial invitation from
Mr. Dewey to accompany him to Kentucky
and aid and assist him in the selection of u
young stallion for the position above men
toned, we cheerfully accepted the same
and together visited several breeding farms
and examined a large number of prom
Using colts. Approaching the high position
these stables now occupy and realizing the
importance of such selection, we found
ourselves placed in quite a responsible
position We desired that the colt selected
should have not only an unexccptonal ped
igree, but size, style, substance and II speedy
conformation, and also standard bred, and
from speed producing lines throughout.
We therefore, with confidence advised and
were instrumental in the purchase of the
above named colt, Furor, believing him
for their purpose the best two year old
shown us. for sale, while there. Tic is a
full brother to Fugue, that obtained two
year old record in 1882 of 2:32a We saw
her driven her first mile this spring, over a
very rough track, in 2:35, and fully believe
il would have been in 2:30 on good track,
and with same ease. We predict that
under favorable circumstances this season
she will nearly if not quite wipe out the
fast three year old record of 2:21. Fuga,
