SPEED ELEMENTS
1t will be noticed that Henry S. is inbred to
Rysdyk's Hambletonian-the father of trot-
ters- He has also a strain from Daniel Lam
bert, New England's faYOrite; and best of all
his pedigree is rich in Diomed blood through
both sire and dam, which. as has been said ::
May be found in every phenomenal trotter
ever upon the turf"
PRODUCE.
1t is well known that many stock horses of
the very best breeding, and themselves fast,
do not sire trOtters. Occasionally one has
the mysterious power of producing speed.
But whether not one has this invaluable
power can be known certainly only from
actual results. Henry S has five colts al
ready in the thirties and three of them are so
close to 2.3O that some of them are almost
certain to reach that charmed limit the pres
ent season. which will make him standard, of
but second short. When standard let
those who think of using him ask themselves
if the service fee will be likely to remain at the
present low figure
To warrant, $25. payable when the mare
proves in foa1- All mares at owners risk and

in foal-
Good pasturing for mares from distance
The horse may be found on Tuesdays, We'd
nesdays and Thursdays at Geo. Owens sta
bic, in Barton; on Fridays, Saturdays and
Mondays at Grout farm near East st. Johns
bury.
No business will be transacted on Sunday.
The owners of Henry S. hereby give notice
that it is their intention to take advantage

The following editorial note from the Bos-
ton Cultivator of May 18th, 1889, is so much
to the point that make it part of this
advertisements 1t well illustrates the speed
producing power of Henry S:
HAMBLETONIAN'S LAST.-Rysiiyk' s Handle
tonian began his stud career when but two
years old One of his first foals, if not his
very first, was A1exander's Abdallah. The
latter died when but thirteen years old, yet
careful study of the 2. 80 list will show that
greater number of the animals found there
trace to Alexander's Abda11ah than to any
other stallion that ever lived, excepting his
ancestors.
With the exception of the year 1865, Rys-
dyk's HambletOnian in the stud from
S51 to the time of his death in 1878, peri
cd of % years. During this time he got 1873
living foals. The first of these to acquire dis
tinction upon the turf was the famous Dexter
(2-17A), which was for several years king of
the trotting turf. Dexters dam, is we'll
known, was Clara, Highland, nervy, reso-
lutte daughter of Seely's American Star The
last foal produced by Hamb1etonian is Dr. ].
a. Sherma ans handsome stallion very appro-
priately named HambIctonian's Last, a like
ness of which appears upon another page.
He is a smoothly turned, speedy fellow, bred
his eight-year-old form he got a record of
2-25H. His dam, like that of Dexter (2.17H)
was by Seely's American Star. Daughters of
See1y'S American Star have already produced
thirty-th-ee stations which have got go
performers. 1t is safe to predict that before
many years Hambletonian'S Last will be
numbered in that class.
Remember Henry S. carries the blood of
AlcXander's Abdallah and of American Star.

Boston Cutivator of May 81, in speaking of

Trout, mentions Lucy p. and gives her
