HORSE GOSSIP.
A Sale Of Notable Trotting Stock Owned by
Moulton Brothers, West Randolph, in
kew York Next Month.


From the Spirit of the Times.1
Moulton Brothers of West Randolph,
will sell through Peter G.. Kellogg e. Co.,
New York, a choice consignment
of trotting stock Thursday, Nov. s. The
capitally bred stallion Vermont Messen.
GER 10 years old, by Rysdyk's Hambleton-
ian, out of Lady Lockwood, record, 25,
by Neaves's Cassius NJ. Clay, heads the
list. His dam was one of the greatest of
the Clay mares in her day, and sons of
Hambetoniau of this formula of breeding
such as George Wilkes and Electioneer,
have made great hits in the stud when
given an opportunity. This Vermont
Messenger has never had, but his few off
spring from mares of no pedigree prove
him speed giver, likely to prove of great
value II rightly placed. A four year old
colt by him, out of Randolph Maid, will
also be sold. His dam unites the blood of
Volunteer and Hampton, and was a daugh-
ter Of the famous old Abdallah mare
Blonde. A three year old gelding, by
specimen of his get. Sir Charles, bay stall
lion, foaled 1881, by Kentucky Prince, dam
Glenmary by Rysdyk's Hambletonian
I'd dam Fanny Star, by Seely's American
Star, is also richly bred and should fetch
good price, for he is fast, sound and
handsome.
The racing qualities of the get of Ken
lucky Prince have shone forth notably
this year, and it looks as if the blood, al
ways well thought of, is upon the verge OF
a boom. More than one driver of great
experience, if asked to name the fastest
horse in the country to day, would unhes-
| itatingly name Guy, whose 2.12 "a over
| Fleetwood is groat mark considering the
track, yet was no surprise to many who
had seen him in his work in previous
years. His is not the only instance in
which Kentucky Prince has hit hard
where cross OF American Star was felt
in the combination, and the young stall
lion Sir Charles, should not be overlooked
at the sale during horse chow week. To
the same sale Messrs. Moulton Brothers
will also conslgn daughter Of Leland,
out OF Young Gypsy, dam of Nettie
Thorne. 2.25l4, by Mamb brine Pilot a
daughter OF Heptagon, from capitally
out of Hope, by Rysdyk's Hambletonan
I'd dam by Seely's American Star, and
several other animals of choice breeding.
