senting the merits OF this grand
young horse, I desire to return
thanks to the numerous patrons for
the liberal manner in which they
have shown their appreciation Of my
horse (WESTERN LAD). and rs u
matter Of reference and satisfaction
to breeders, / will append 4 few brief
comments, based upon authenticated
records.
BY an examination OF the breed
ing of my horse western Lad), you
will see that he Is inbred to the best
strains of the Blackwood and Mem
5rino Chief families, taking in next
one of the richest and best crosses
Of the Hambletonian family, Gold
smiths Abdallah, and is backed up
by thorough blood. And a
further examination Of the best pro-
ducing siIes and the most speedy
performers will show that at least
eighty per cent OF them are inbred
animals, and backed up by thorough
bred blood. In support Of which l
will present very few OF the best
ones.

Aud SO the enumerutive lessons 60
IN as shown by the tables OF trotting
performers. The most fOrcibie de-
luction that a study Of their pedi.
yrees presents, is the invaluable
principle Of inbreeding, to the prop
.rly limited degrees, and the great
necessity Of an infusion 1T thorough
bred blood. Rysdyk Hambletonian

over 1900 foals, yet not one Of his

fusion OF thoroughbred blood were
worth raising for speed or for sires.

I would be pleased to learn the nalne
Of the animal. With the aid and

daughters. On tho other hand, with
