Mr.. j. Il. Williams, wcll-known
horseman of the Green Mountain State
who also has a fancy for choice Jcr.
scys, writes the CuItirator as follows /:
81 lately took a trip to Orwell aud
bought a fine a. j. &. &. bull calf of
DR.. j. S. Gale of Orwell, solid color,
black tongue and switch. Dam. DR..
Gales two-ycar old COW of Coomassie-
Alphca blood, and sired by T.. ID. Girls
wold's A. j. &C. bull Champlain. This
is good blood and we shall look for
good stock from him. | called at the
Brookside Stock farm, III. II. Cults
proprietor, and found his stations, Adj
olson Lambert and Ben Franklin, as
fine as usual and doing a large bust
ness. There are now nearly 100 mares
on the farm. Mr.. Cults lately sold n
bree-year-old iilly to Mr.. Russell of
Burlington, VT, and read me a letter
from that gentleman saying that $1,000
would not buy her. Mr.. Cults has sold
two others this season, one of which
was but eighteen months old, the three
aggregating $500. This would seem
to encourage those that are breeding
Ben Franklin stock.
also called at the Riverside Stock
farm at Fairhaven, VT, Rufus Il. Ham
ilton proprietor, who is also trainer of
considerable note. Here are quite a
number of good ones, from such sire
as Dean Sage, Aurora, Ben Franklin
and Highland Grey. The wo-year-
old Il. Is. H., and the four-year-old H..
Il. c., by Ben Franklin, will be heard
from in the near future. They are No.
in every sense of the word. My mare
Kitty Baxter has just dropped chest
nut colt with white strip in face, sired
by Ben Franklin.
The noted Vermont PAGER Hiram
Hamilton is matched against the trotter
L. Il. Clark, the race to come OIL at
Paramount Park, Fairhaven, VT, July
4. They are also matched for a race to
come of at Island Park, Albany, soon
after. Il. b. Clark vanquished the
Highland Gray wonder Parnell at Is
land Park not long since, which sup
pose led him to tackle the wonderful
PAGER. If Hiram can pace the turf
anywhere near as fast as he could the
ice last winter, he will, no doubt, win
these races, provided they are not for
the gate money and pools"
