~ animals under his
charge. The following will be handled
next season by Jack WoOdmansee, the
brother of the superintendent:
One of the most prominent animals
on the place is Also. He is a bay colt
with black points, foaled 1884, and is by
BlackwOod, Jr.. dam So SO, who is re-
garded rs the best mare that George
Wilkes ever produced. The colt was
the winner of the tWo-year-Old stakes of
1886. and was entered in the tWo-year-
old stakes of 1887. but was drawn. He
is one of the most magnificent animals
ever seen. and is free from any blemiSh
whatever. He can show Dps gait at
any time. He is SO large that the COM
m0dore will not allow him to be Speeded
much. He Will be brought forward very
slowly indeed and gradually. He is
looked upon as likely to be very fast in
deed. and gives some indications of what
a sire BlackwOod. Jr., is.
RoSanna, the winner of the fOur-year-
old stakes of 1887, is another good one.
She was sired 10y Revenue, dam Lady
Gr0Sbeck, by Star of the West. She is
also fast and is improving i'll her speed
as well as general appearance every
day. She is stylish and handsome, with
elegant action.
Minnie Winnie is by Simmons, by
George Wilkes, dam Annie Cooke, by
Pacing Abdallah. She is Il large chest
nut filly, the winner of the two year-old
Wisconsin stakes of 1886, and is show
ing at the present time more speed than
ever.
ASteroid. by Blackw0od, Jr.. dam
Astoria, is handsome brown. He won
the three-year-Old stakes for 1887, and
can trOt at the rate of $50.
Reve So is a bay filly, by Revenue,
dam So So, by George Wilkes. She is a
handsome bay, with a small star, and
left hind pOStern white. She is hand
some and stylish, and will have great
speed.
Ruby is a bay filIy by Won Arnim,
This is not only grand filly, but the
combined record given this filly by the
sire and dam is the fastest ever in
herited 10y fOal. with the exception of
the foal of Flora Bell, by NutwoOd,
which is three-quarterS of second
faster. She now shows speed and is
full of promise.
Ven r, bay colt, by Won Arnim, dam
Sister, by Swigert. This is a good
mover, and, if nothing happens to him,
he will trOt very fast.
RenOwn, bay colt, by Revenue, dam
Sannie q, 2:27. by AlmOnt, is another
good one. and his handy way of going
leads Mr.. WOodmansee to think a great
deal of him.
Rolfe, a bay colt. by Revenue, 2:2244,
dam Lady Rolfe, 2:221. is a good one.
He is full brother of Collector, winner
of the twO-year-old stakes of 1887, and
his inbreeding with great speed lines,
built on a thoroughbred foundation,
gives indication that he will make
very fast animal.
A sNf 1e o.
stables are wintering in very excellent
form, and if nothing happens they will
come out i'll the spring in good condi-
ton to take their preparatory work for
the races.
T. b. MARRETT.
This gentleman is building up fine
stock farm and is constantly adding to
his list of trotting brood mares and
stations. He has brought his Nutwood
MambrinO stallion to the city and is
having him daily logged on the street
with view of giving him a trial next
season if his stud service is not too Sc
we're. Lingard, by Lumps, dam by
MambrinO Patchen 2d, by Clifton Pilot,
is another good one. He will be
two years old in the spring and shows
great speed i'll his exercise. lie is also
having his new purchase, Early Pho
neer, driven on the road to pole with
Gen. Sibley. Hanback,, by Blackwood,
Jr., dam Countess, is also being handled.
Like all of BlackwOOd, Jr.'S. get he is a
large, rangy fine colt. Having bred
Annie West, that trotted trials i'm 2:2O,
and CapitOla, 2:241a. these two will not
be campaigned. He has sent Lady
Eleanor and Pioneer Kate. by Pioneer,
dam by Thorndale, to Kentucky to be
bred TO Onward, and Finkle'S Ideal, by
Administrative Inv
brinO Patchen, has also been sent there
to be bred to Red Wilkes. Mr.. Marrett
Is preparing to bring cut in Il few years
more some of the best trotting stock to
be found IN the country.
W. L. M'GRATH
Is the owner of some very fine stock, and
what is still further to be commended,
he believes iii putting the youngsters in
condition and placing them on the track
to show what they can do and demon
Strate their speed. Among these ami
mails are TambOurine, chestnut mare,
foaled in 1880, by Tramp, dam Flaxey,
by Green's BaShaw. She has no record,
but shows good degree of speed. De
Lancy TheseuS is bay filIy, foaled
1885, by Theseus. Tipperary is gray
stallion fOaled in 1886, by TheseuS, dam
De Lancy Tramp. He was the winner
OF the Breeders yearling stakes of 1885,
Pattern is bay colt, foaled 1887, by
Patronage, full brother to Patron, dam
Fanny Douglass, by Green's Bashaw.
Flora Patronage, by Patronage. dam
Flora, by Green's Bashaw. Belle
Theseus is bay tilly by Theseus, dam
Belle BlackwOOd. Thales. bay colt,
by Theseus, dam Abbie Tramp
Temperance. Tancred, bay colt, by
Theseus, dam Jennie Tramp. These
animals are all standard, and it is Mr..
McGrath's intention to have them all
worked in the spring with view of
giving them records next season.
GEORGE w. SHERWOOD.
George w. Sherwood, of st. Paul. is
the owner of WOOdford Wilkes. by
George Wilkes, dam WOodford Mann
brino. He has two colts in training,
viz: HeireSS, by WOOdfOrd Wilkes, dam
Hambletonian Maid, by Charles Back
man. This fillyi is of good size and great
trotting action, and is entered in the An
tlcipatlOn stakes of the breeders to trot
next fall. Hypata is by Woodford
Wilkes, dam Stella Goldsmith, by Alden
Goldsmith. She is of good size and
is now being broken. Mr.. Sher.
wood is not fully decided as regards the
others that he will handle, but
will certainly have a good string
OI lrOtGoTS ready. lie seems TO have
got hold of treasure without really
knowing it. Something more than
year ago he went down to the McFerran
sale in Kentucky, and while there he
made bid on a colt by Nutwood, out
of Dictator mare. When he made the
bid he had no idea whatever that the
colt would be knocked down to him.
but before he knew it it was, and he
found himself the owner of it. 1t is
now two years old and, so far as can be
judged, it is likely to be one of the
most valuable animals Oh his farm. The
cross is wonderfully good, and the colt
is a big, lusty fellow, and moves off
with q big omen gait that nromises re-
