Caleb Dickinson, OF West Haven,
three year old Louis Napoleon filly.
The colt is very promising one and
is in the hands of Messrs. Sprague
and Waite being waywised and learn
ing city manners.
One of the best bred, handsomest
young horses in the county is the
three year old stallion Louie Abdal-
lah, owned By M. w. Willoughby.
He is not only well bred, but is well
developed in all the essential points
of a good horse. His breeding is
royal-by Louis Napoleon, dam by
Byerly Abdallah; I'd dam by Owosso
Prince; sd dam by Gen. Thomas; 4th
dam an inbred Morgan mare. This
horse will make limited season (see
adj and we say to any one looking
for good stallion, see this fellow be-
fore you breed.
"Counsellor" Crawford has Hilton
z:a2 Ia at Cleveland and is prepar-
Ing him for the track. Either Splan
or Bithers will drive him in his races,
and it will be we'll for turtles to keep
an eye on him.

Lady Walker by Louis Napoleon.
This colt is full brother to DR.. Per
kins' fast young stallion Edwin Booth.

DIR. Perkins reports an extra fine
filly by 10 Gavin out of a Napoleon
mare, and says it is as good a colt as
he ever owned.
A thoroughly reliable and intelli
gent correspondent writes us from
Buffalo as follows: Jerome Eddy has
q, colts one and two years old; of
these or are bays. They are out OF
all colored mares, grays, creams,
chestnuts, blacks, sorrels. durs and
bays. Did you ever hear of such a
per centage? Not one has white
foot forward; "A of them are all bay
with black points. This is very re-
markabe showing, and is practical
guarantee to breeders against bad
markings and colors. This is likely
to be a great year at the Jewett Stock
Farm, for the blood is there, ard
whatever amount Of money is needed
to secure the best training talent will
be forthcoming. The future success
of no establishment in the country is
brighter. and no one has stronger
hold on the public confidence. Wal
lace's Monthly. We gladly make the
above extract from the April number
of Wallace's Monthly, and would add
that our stock farm correspondent,
Diomed, is familiar with stock at the
Jewett farm, and says that like the
story Of the Queen of Sheba, the
half has not been told.-Chicago

Coldwater Courier: Thos. Osborn,
of Undertook, owner of Island Boy,
a SON of Royal Fearnaught, sold
four year old brown gelding by son
of Tom Hunter, Tuesday, to Mr.. P.
Watson, of Toledo, for $500. Mr..
l.. M. Wing sold the same party his
gelding "Jim Burns" by Belmont
Chief dam by Louis Napoleon, for
5000. He Is also nice brown, four
years old, and the pair hook up in
great shape. They are quite well
matched, similarly gated, and with
good handling will make it quite
lively for any double team in the
state.
BY request of Mr.. G.. r. Lyon, of
this city, we took a seat in his car
riage and rode to his farm one and
half miles from town, and while on
cur way there we made the discovery
that while Mr.. Lyon stands first at
the bar in this county, and probably
not second to any lawyer in the State,
yet he finds rest and pleasure in the
oversight of his farm, not only in
point of cultivation but in beautify-
ing the same. He is the owner of
eleven head of richly bred trotting
stock from the famous sires Abdallah,
Napoleon and 10 Gavin. And by
the way the span that we sat behind,
a Gavin mare and grandson of Ma
poleon, bays, I6 hands high, were
my suggestion Of the trotter. This
span of horses are four years old; the
mare especially demonstrates the fact
that she is trotter, as she has shown
three minute gait in the hands of
