Messrs II. l.. & F. d. Stout, of Hi gh
land stock farm, Dubuque, To-, write as
follows: "Our stock is wintering very
nicely. and FULLY 90 per cent Of our
mares are in foal. NutwOod's book for
1889 is nearly full of such mares as Rosa
Wilkes, 2:1S; Gem, 2:13, etc. We have
just sold the chestnut colt Acmon. one
year old, by No. 600. dam Ina, 2:22, for
s.. 800, to w. S. Hull. of Grand Rapids,
Mich. Our sales for the past year have
been very satisfactory to US and to the
buyers. Our NutwOodS, all one year
old and younger, have averaged us 50, 600
each. We recently bought of j. V.
Stryker the gray mare Dalphine. by
Harold, out of Dahlia, by Pilot, Jr., for
5000. Daphne is dam of HighwOod,
by No. COO, that sold at five years old at
auction for 81. 80, and Solong, 2:2114.
Dalphine is in foal to NutwoOd. Our
new catalogue will be ready in a few
days"
In conversation with II. B. Sire, he
said: 1.-The horses are all well, and are
at MorriStown, n. j., with the eXcep-
ton of Oracle B. She will be Oh the
road during the winter, as will also
Andy Mack and Little Volunteer, that
are about as well matched and good
looking PAIR as goes the road. Harry
Wilkes is getting around all right. His
leg is in fine shape, the splint having
been entirely removed" The Sire
Brothers have added another one to
their string in the shape of the chestnut
gelding Dan, record 2:25. He was pur-
chased of George Snyder, of Allentown,
Pa. and will be used for road purposes.
He showed a mile, hooked up with
Harry Mills, over the Morristown track
in 2:27. He is nice-looking chestnut,
and can beat his mark very handily.
1t is fortv-twO years since Lady Suf-
folk electrified the world by trottlng a
mile in go, and at the close of the year
1870 there were but l5l horses in the
then pointed to with pride. Now in this
single year of 1888 the number of new
Corners to the $50 list of trotters and
pacets is nearly 600. The increase is
something marvellous, but so is the
progress that has been made in knOWl-
edge of how to breed the trOtter.
Saturday, Dec. %, at Los Angeles,
Cal. Bill Boy was driven to record of
2:l9l4. The colt lacked, at the time of
tie performance, but nine days of being
four wears old under the rule. This
shows the superior advantages of Cali
fornia for placing records on colts. The
Youngsters can trOt i'm that climate two
months after the colts bred and reared
in the East have been thrown out of
training on account of rain, snow and
cold. Beautiful Bells now has three
year-odS in the list with records better
than 2:20.

What is almost an incredible report is
that $4,000, the highest on record. was
offered by the Buenos Ayres syndicate

the winner of the last French Derby
and Grand PriX. NJ. Donon, the owner.

DeSpise not the horse of small stature.
When Il. f. Simmons, now master of
Wilkes lodge. Lexington. KY, bought

give a pint of peanuts for the little
runt."
