In one animal. the blood is doubly valuable.
Sentin,l. WoodfOrd Mambrino, and Alex Alb
dailah have shown the capacity of rot only
getting sons and daughters that could trot, but
they could produce trotters. Sentinel was a
son of great sire. Rysdyck's Hambletonian.

sires of 1886. Col. Vests grand dam was sired
by Alexis Abdailah, a horse those descenda5ts
lead those of any other sons of Ham bletonian.
From his loins have come such great sires as
Almont, Belmont. Woods mbletnnian &C.
&C. All this combination of the bloc of these
greatest sires of these great families Is built
upon solid foundation of thoroue hbrei blood
running back four generations.
Individually, Col. West is all that his breed
ing would indicate-large. strong and smooth,
with the best OF feet and limbs He has never
been handled professionally. but was driven a
mile over the Ravenna track in 2 :37l< last half
in H. He has never had access to any well
bred mares. buI from ordinary mares he has
sired class OF roadsters that will command
the attention of BUYERS. His action is very
hne, and he goes in that grand majestic COM
manding style that is SO attractive to hOrsemen
As all the sfres in his line have been posi-
tive. potent sires, we count on Col. West being
an important factor in the improvement of the
road horse of this section.
We submit these few facts. hoping il will
