DESCRIPTION.-l Iannis is a chest
nut, Is hands, of symmetrical proper
tons and powerful conformation, what
is best described as "big little one"
He is a natural trotter from wire to wire,
very pure gated and so easy moving
that he always elected the unqualified
admiration of the best judges of what
constitute genuine trotter
HISTORY -Take him all in all he is
the most wonderful horse that ever cleo
trified the trotting world, as the follow
ing sketch of his racing career will prove.
His first appearance on the turf was at
Suffolk Park, May 10th, 1877, in the
singular class of 2 % for a green horse /;
but he won third money with reserve
of speed. He subsequently trotted num-
erous races in the Western circuit, evil
IDENTIFY for experience, and was not allow
ed to take a record until the entries for
the grand circuit closed he then cut
loose, scoring his first victory at Chicago,
and won all his races, sustaining only
single defeat, and is the only trotter
that ever lowered his record below 220
in the first season, which be closed with
a record of 2l9l, after few months
turf experience. He was campaigned
successfully several seasons by John Il.
Turner of Philadelphia, and his winnings
amounted to S3l $50.
1t is safe to say that no horse ever on
he turf showed the ability to stand
campaigning with Hannis, trotting as
many severe races and travelling thous-
ands of miles, year in and year out,
and now that he has been retired to the
stud, there is every reason for believe
ing that with his fine breeding, great
speed, purity of gait and wonderful en-
durance, he will make himself equally
famous as a sire of trotters and roadsters.
Other sons of Mambrno Pilot, such as
Mambrno Gift, Caliban, &c, have PROV
en- very prepotent, and TIannis is clearly
the best son of his sire-thcre being de-
scended from large, rangy stock his
colts will have plenty of size as well as
finish.
The celebrated Young Stallion,
Hannis Jr., will also serve a limited
number ofmares on the farm. $50 for
the season with the privilege of return
ing mares not proving in foal next year
free of charge. The season money will
be required to be paid in all cases when
mares are served or when they are taken
away from the farm.
Stable keep or pasture at very reasona-
BILE rates for mares and good care given,
but no responsibility for accident or es-
capes. Barney Moore.
