Durac by Messenger Durac LOG; third dam
Lady Nodine by Hambletonian 10; fourth dam
by Seely's American Star. Pearl. the
dam Of this FLY, is grandly-bred
mare, and it is claimed for this
filly that she had more standard crosses than
any other in the Northwest if not in the
United States. This is pretty strong claim,
and may be questioned by some. AT any
rate whether the statement is true in its
whole length and breadth, there is no ques-
ton but that the breeding is gilt edged. Mr..
Sherwood regards her as the best colt ever
bred on his farm. Another filly is Innocence
She is a bay, foaled April 20, by Memory
1856, dam PatcheR Girl by Star Chief; second

hot work at the trotting meeting here in Min
