The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1884-05-09
owOsso BREEDING STABLES.

Owosso, Mich, Messrs. Dewey &
Stewart, proprietors, is the only liv-
ing horse having an entire son that
sold for as much as $4,000; and he
is the only living horse having an
entire son with public record as
low as s:I6H, except Dictator, sire
of Phallas. Couple this showing
with the fact that there are nine of
his get that have trotted from a:a4 to
2:37, and most of them will enter the
80 list this season, and is it any
wonder that last year his books had
to be closed as early as June 4, with
75 mares enrolled, and that as many
more were refused during the season.
Louis Napoleon by Volunteer, dam
Hattie Wood by Savers Harry Clay
precisely the same blood from sire
and dam that enables ST. Julien to
trot in 2:III.
But Louis Napoleon does not mo-
nopolize the honor of making famous
the Owosso Breeding establishment
he has several able helpers, promi-
nent among which is his son George
Milo, a four year old full brother to
Jerome Eddy a:I6H, and equally as
promising for speed at same age. 1t
may be thought folly to "drink from
the branch while the fountain is so
near at hand" yet if we were breed
ing a mare in that family we should
appreciate a dash of the blood Of
Fanny Mapes, the royal dam of Eddy
and Milo. This youngster is quite
likely to show the road to many
green one next fall, though he will
do stud duty till the first of July.
Furor is another bright young star
in the Owosso armament, Though
but three years old he is 16 hands,
weighs over 100 pounds, and no
horse in the world is better bred, be-
ing a son of Major McDowell's SUI
perb horse King Rene (sire of Fugue,
two year old record a:3aA, and Rem
egade, trial a:a7) by Belmont son of
Alexander's Abdallah; dam Fuga
(dam of Fugue, three year old record
a:a7A), by George Wilkes; I'D dam
Betsy Trotwood (dam of Phallas, six
year old stallion record s;15H), by
Clark Chief, son of Mambrino Chief;
sd dam by Ericsson, four year old
record 2:3oH (sire of Doble a:2S),
son of Mambrino Chief; 4th and
9Th dams thoroughbred. 1t is un-
necessary to add that Furor is great
natural trotter, for colt of his breed
ing ought to 60 fast if he had but
three legs.
10 Gavin, another member of the
Owosso stallion team, is knocking
vigorously for admission to the ranks
of winning sires, and if all goes well
this season with his daughter Cora
Bell he will "get there" with hurrah,
for she won a half mile race as two
year old in 1922 in a jog, as four
year old showed a:3I, and now as a
six year old promises to make mark
close to 2:ao. Geo. r. Fauth, and
others by him also give encourage
ment to Gavin's aspirations, so that
he is becoming quite favorite with
breeders. He is by Messenger Duroc,
son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian; dam
Fanny Mapes. by Alexander's Alb
dallah.
Bonnie Wilkes-we will have to
admit that we envy Messrs. Dewey
& Stewart the possession of this fell
low, and would say right here to the
breeders of Michigan and elsewhere,
if you are in a position to secure a
colt by Bonnie Wilkes, don't miss
the opportunity We have known
him well since he was strong enough
to stand up and suck his dam, and
two months before he was two years
old saw him trot faster, at the stock
farm of his breeder, Mr.. James Miller,
Paris, KY, than we ever saw a two,
three or four year old trot, before OF
since that time, and we have seen
some fast ones. Yet we did not won
der at this, for We are also familiar
with his sire, dam, grandsire and
granddam, and their produce, and
know them ALL to be fast and game.
