2:2O "a.

Editor Dunton's Spirit Of the Turf:-In
your issue of the 23d inst. on page 400
appears summary of 2: 30 class at Alba
ny, the first and fourth heats of which
were won by Patience, by Strathmore
2:23i and 2:2s3. And on page 456 a sum-
mary of same race gives Patience as by
Bayard. We are in receipt of a letter
from Mr.. w. F. Champ of Millersburg,
KY, saying that he bred Patience, that
she is by Strathmore, dam by Selim.
This is the third 2:30 performer bred
by Mr.. Champ, viz: Croxie 2:l9, Frank
Champ 2:l6d, and Patience 2:27t. We
think he also bred Joshua Ewing 2:3Ot.
What man not making a business of
breeding has done as well?
Mr.. Champ sold all of these horses I'M
developed, and sold them each for a
song. We don't remember what he got
out of CroXie, but Frank Champ was
sold for 500, and Patience for sl45.
Now if Mr.. Champ was a wise man he
would sell no more undeveloped trotters,
but he is evidently not a wise man, for
he now has and will sell worth the money
a grand 2-year-old son of Baron Wilkes

she is by my horse, Joe Golddust. She
was raised by Mr.. Wetstone, five or six
miles from Winona. Mimi; that is where
my horse stood until four years ago. She
was sold by him to West Snow, now no.
tel keeper at Mcmillan, Wis, and he sold
her to the present owner, Mr.. j. Peter
son; this you will find to be correct.
| think you will see this mare come in
to the , 80 list this season. and it will
make a considerable difference with the
sire. and there will be more to follow.
want my horse to have to his credit whar
rightly belongs to him.
Can you assist me in tracing Joe Gold
dust's dam: She was bought somewhere
in Illinois, ten years ago. by E. G. New
ms of Winona. She is claimed to be
well bred Morgan mare, and she was il
foal by Creator Golddust when bough
by Nevins. y. c. PORTER.
We know nothing whatever of the dan
of Joe Golddust. but have no doubt tina
some of our readers can tell all abou
her. The question now arises, will the,

2:243, dam by Mambrino Patchen. This
is a royal breeding, and the first one of
your numerous readers that takes advan-
tage of our tip and writes Mr.. Champ at
Paris, Ky, will probably get an unde-
veloped Croxie, a Frank Champ or a Pa
tience.
We notice in list of Doble's string in
same paper, that you give Mikado 2 :20a
as by Hardwood. Mr.. James Capehart,
Point Pleasant, w. Va, claims that he
bred Mikado and that he is by Highland
Chief. his dam Gray Nellie, a mare cap
tured at Ashland, Ky, during the war,
breeding unknown.
We have a brood mare, bred by Mr..
Capehart, and he tells us that her dam is
the dam of Mikado 2:20s. Inasmuch as
we have several times seen this breeding
given elsewhere as you give it, we take
this opportunity of publicly calling at
tention to Mr.. Capehart's statement, so
that if any one can establish the fact that
he is by Hardwood, we may know it.
We think we have a brood mare nut OF
the dam of Mikado 2 :203. If Mikado i.
by Hardwood we are mistaken and we

who the breeder of the dam of Lady
Woodhall was. She was said to by See
ly's American Star. l purchased Lady
w. of Geo. w. Parker, Lowell, Mich,
when in her ~two-year-old form. He then
had her dam. She was then, / think, %
years old. Mr.. Parker purchased her of
A. IL. Taylor, Orange county, n. V, who
gives her sire as above. Mr.. Parker has
tried to get Mr.. Wallace to trace her
breeding; but it seems that for some rea-
son he refuses to have anything TO do
with this man Taylor. / would like very
much to have her breeding verified. We
own one or two Of her colts-Star King,
a fine six-year-old past, sired by Hamil-
ton (2:26D. King was never handled,
but shows great speed. We are breed
ing Lady Woodhall this season.

of expert horsemen in this part of the
country, and as Dunton's Spirit of the
Turf seems to enjoy the confidence of the
better class of breeders all over America.
| deem it wise to indite a short letter to
you giving a synopsis of the history of
this remarkable horse. | will say, there
fore, that he ran in pasture with his dam
until he was five months old; after that
he was kept on hay and two quarts of
oats during the first winter. He ran on
common pasture summers until he was
three years of age. At four he was taken
up and put to general farm work like
the other horses and continued to do so
until the spring of 1886 when he was six
years of age. And that summer he did
some blowing and helped to NOW thirty
five acres of grass. On the lst of Sep
TENDER he was taken in hand and worked
on the road about three weeks with q
view to speed. He was exhibited at the
Amherst fair as a gentleman's driving
horse, winning easily in ? 40 from a
standing start. This was his first ap.
pearance in public. After that he wa:
shown at Greenfield. And the same fall
he trotted at North Hampton in 2 :434
He started a few times last year anC
always took first or second premium
and went into winter quarters with {
mark of , 1874. In the spring of 1887 ht
was purchased by VIM. L. Daley of Hart
ford, Conn, and this spring he has beef
worked with a view to %trotting. Farmet
