AT WOODBURY..

1t was bright day at WOODBURY. and
the New England delegation joined the
New Workers in comments on the beauties
OF the place. The grazing was excellent
under the administered leaves. and the
brood mares and colts were in fine condi-
ton. AS matter of course, every one
wanted to see Miss Russell, and she was
found taking her ease in the woodland pas
ture with her foal, gray colt called Pilot
Russell, by her side. The youngster had
suffered from distemper, and it was deemed
best not to wean him too soon. He is now
all right, and presents many of the charac-
teristics of the Pilot family. Miss Russell
has been bred to Belmont, in the hope of
getting another Nutwood or Nutbourne.
Lord Russell, the four-year-old brother of
Maud S, was running in a paddock. His
blood has been out of order, but the swell
ing is passing from his legs, and he will en-
ter winter quarters in good health. He
stands 1929 hands forward and is an inch
higher behind. He is formed great deal
like his renowned sister, and his action is
rapid and nervous. Witherspoon, chest
nut colt, three years old, by Harold out of
Lizzie Witherspoon, dam of Fanny Wither-
spoon. is blood-like fellow, with stoutly-
corded legs, but thus far he has not shown
a strong disposition to trot. He is still
young; nevertheless, the thought obtrudes
that Harold does not control action On high
bred mares as Almont did. In bunch of
two-year-old fllies, Russia, gray, and
sister of Maud S, attracted marked
attention. She has plenty of size, and
is full of life. She mixes her gait
little. but there is no objection to this
She has been gently worked for about six
weeks. Maudlen, bay. by Harold, out of
Nutula, sister of Nutwood has length
| finish and trotting action, and much is
| thought of her future. She has been broken
to harness and will be handled next season.
Altamura, bay, is another good two year.
old filly. She has speedy angles and is
gated right. She was got by Harold, out
of Alice West, by Almont Lady Russell,
the three-year-old sister of Maud S, has
size, and is stamped with resolution but
thus far slight lameness forward has in
terfered with her track education. The
cause of the lameness has not been discov-
cred. Experience, bay filly, three years
old, out of Englewood, sister of Wedge
wood, is blood-like, with power and action,
and her lines are priced. Yuba, by Harold,
out of Yolande, by Belmont and she out of
Young Portia dam of Voltaire, will make
trotter. She is bay and three years old.
The wagon which carried us to and from
the station at WOODBURY. was drawn by the
brown gelding Midas by the great Wood
ford Mambrino, out of Midnight dam of
Jay Eye See. He is sixteen years old and
Mr.. Hullcontends that he would have been
a trotter had not an early dislike banished
him to drudgery. When it was discovered
that his trotting lineage was of the best. his
joints had been stiffened by rough work and
tire he would now be worth fortune for
the stud. MONDAY, the gray mare by St.
Elmo, out of Midnight has good looking
bay tilly by Harold, and her three-year old
son, Dark Night, by Alcyone, attracted
much attention at the recent Lexington
meeting. He is a good acting colt, and
will make fast and game horse.
