Henry w. Scale, prominent breeder
in California, died suddenly at Sacra-
mentO. Sept. 6. He was sitting on the
stOop of the Capital hotel discussing the
race in which his horse, Alfred =, had
been beaten at the fair that day, when
he threw up his hands and instantly eX-
pired. He had a large ranch at May
field, and among the horses owned by
him was Elmo. he bred Overman and
numerous turf winners. His sudden
death was great shock to his many
friends.

Joe Cotton was so badly injured in
his race at Mystic Park, Boston, that he
had to be destroyed. His shoulder was
broken. and he sustained internal in
iuries. Cotton was one of the most
beautiful, blOOd-like, and probably at
his best was one of the fastest horses
that has appeared on the turf in some
years.

and the dam one of 2:1614, is not to be
trotted any more races this season, the
idea being to reserve him for the stakes
in the slow classes next year.
George Turner, of Chicago, who drove
Herod's grandson, Nubbins, into the

The Riverside Farm at Lnverne.

Jay La Due was very successful at
the Rochester and state fairs. On one
farm of 600 acres he has 40 horses and
$50 head Of cattle. When he came up to
attend the fairs he brought with him
some of his horses to trOt and to exhibit.
At RocheSter,in addition tOswinning the
race with J l., a fve-year-Old by HAM
dallah, dam by De CRAFTS Alexander,
Mr.La Due took first premium with him
in the show ring for all stations five
years old and over. Among the COM
petitOrs was Adrian Wilkes, a so, 600
horse. In the fOur-year-old class for
fillies or geldings, he took first premium
with Minnie A. In the One-year-Old
class he took first premium with Belle
Wilks, and in the carriage team class
he took first premium. This is re-
markable record, but Mr.. La Due had
horses that were deserving of success.
While here Mr.. La Due sold yearling
FLY by Woodford Wilkes, dam by De
CRAFTS Alexander, full sister to Silas
Wright, 2:2414, and also fOur-year-Old
by Hamdallah, dam by Alexander, for
$500 for the two. Each of these ami
mails took first premium at the state
fair, and also at Rochester. He also sold
a carriage team for $500, and was offered
s.. 600 for his stallion J l..

AxteII, the Two-Year-OId.
Breeders Gazette.

Breeders Gazette.
AXtell, the two-year- old stallion that
at the recent trOtting meeting in this
city made record of 2:2494, did still
better the following week at Minneapo-
lis, trOtting the mile in 1924 fiat, leaving
him but two seconds behind the mark
made by WildtlOwer when she was a
twO-year-old; and as the California filly
did her best work in November, it will
be seen that AXtel'S mark is an extra
ordinarily good one, and it is not beyond
the bounds of possibility that he may
go still faster before the snow flies.
One effect of his work will be to give
his sire, William l., great boom in the
stud, especially as he is full brother
to Guy Wilkes, record 2:154, and sire
of Sable Wilkes, the champion three
year-old, with a record of 2:1S. That
the two brothers, Guy Wilkes and Will
lam l., should have sired the champion
two and three-year-Old stations is
enough to place them in the front rank
of stations so far as public opinion Is
concerned, and that Guy Wilkes has
himself a very fast record and is trOt-
ting this year with as much speed as
ever helps the matter still more. Will
lam l. is but six years old, which
makes the fact of his string
so much speed as AXtell has
shown still more remarkable. 1t is in
teresting to note the attitude assumed
by an Eastern paper that believes in
running blood in trotting pedigrees
anent this performance by AXtell. Not
seeing anything but performing trOtting
lines in the male line of his pedigree, it
calmly goes back to the sire of William
LIS dam. and says that because she was
by Mambrino Patchen, and the dam of
MambrinO Patchen was by the son of
thoroughbred horse, her grandson trOtS
fast. The advocates of running blood
in trOtterS are being driven to the wall
very fast.

Prince Wilkes and Patron.

Turf, Field ana tarm.
The second race between Prince
Wilkes and Patron demonstrated to the
satisfaction Of every one that long
and heavy season in the stud is too
much of handicap on the stallion
when matched against a fast and
thoroughly fit performer. The race
was trOtted at Cleveland, on Thursday,
Sept. Is. and it drew about four
thousand people to the track. Patron
won the first heat by head in 2:16, but
he weakened in the second heat. Prince
Wilkes won it in 2:1614, after losing by a
bad break in the first half. The last
half mile was trotted very fast by the
gelding, some of the watches making
the time in 1904. The third and fourth
heats were easy triumphs for Prince
Wilkes. and the time was 2:19I, 2:lS.

Swigert; I'd dam Lady Fairfield, by Alb
dallah, 1,643; Sd dam by Richards Bell
founder: 4th dam by Vermont Black
hawk. The sale was made to Ii. l..
Wood, of Wilmington, Del. The pur-
pose Mr.. Wood had in making the pur-
chase was to place frst-class repre-
sentative of the NutwOOd family at the
head Of his stud. Now that Woodruff,
another son of the great Nutwood, has
put in four heats in such remarkable
time, Mr.. Wood will think all the more
of his purchase. He was a remarkably
fine-looking animal, and will make a
horse fully IL hands high.

His dam was Lady Almont; second

by Star of the West; second dam by
Herod. Ada, sired by Allie Gaines,
dam by Star of the West; second dam
by jim Sherwood; thisd dam by Hob

this breeding establishment is the cross
ing of the Morgan stock with the Ham,
bletonian, the Abdallah and the Bell :
founder lines. Such a combination
ought to be a great success.
