SPEED ELEMENTS.
1t will be noticed that Henry S. is inbred to
Rysdyk's Hambletonian-thef father of trot-
tiers. He has also n strain from Daniel Lam
bert, New England's favorite; 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 phen omenal trotter
ever upon the turf
PRODUCE.
1t is we'll 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 or not one has this invaluable
power can be known certainly only from
actual results. Henry S. has five colts al
ready in the th1rt1eS and three of them so
close to .. 80 that some of them almost
certain to reach that charmed limit the pres
ent season, which will make him standard, of
which he now fails by reason of his sire being
but one 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 foal. All mares at owners risk and
if disposed of before foaling to be treated as
in foa1
Good pasturing for mares from a distance
The horse may be found on Tuesdays, We'd
neSdayS and Thursdays at Geo. Owens sta
BILE, 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 1T is their intention to take advantage
of the lien provided by an Act Approved Nov.

of horse owners"

The following editorial note from the Bos-
ton Cultivator of May 4th, 1889, is so much
to the point that we make it part of this
advertisement. 1t well illustrates the speed
producing power of Henry s.:
HAMBLETONIAN'S LAST.-RySdyk' S Handle
tonian began his stud career when but two
years old. One of his first foa1s, if not his
very first, was Alexander's AbdaIIah The
latter died when but thirteen years old, yet
careful study of the $50 list will show that
greater number of the animals found there
trace to A1exander's Abda1lah than to any
other stallion that ever lived, excepting his
own ancestors.
With the exception of the year 1868, Rys-
dyk's Hambletonian in the stud from
1851 to the time of his death in 1875 a peri
cd of % years. During this time he got 1913
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 well
known, was Clara, a Highland, nervy, reSo-
lutte daughter of Seely's American Star. The
last foal produced by Hambletonian is DIR. J.
Sherman'S handsome O.
priately named Hamb1etonian's Last, a like
ness of which appears upon another page.
He is a smoothly turned, speedy fellow, bred
by his present owner and foaled in 1876 In
his eight-year-o1d form he got record of
2.25A. His dam, like that of Dexter (2.17A)
was by Seely's American Star. Daughters of
Seely's American Star have already produced
thirty-three stations which have got 2 80
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
A1exander's Abdallah and of American Star
Since this advertisement was written the
Boston Cultivator of May 27, in speaking of
the fine trOtters handled by John and Allen
Trout, mentions Lucy p. and gives her

was sold by Mr.. Page of Morrisvie last fall

Lucy p, new conner to the $50 list
