getting to be quite a horse town.
Among the prominent breeders and
horse owners are r. H. Thomson. j.
and E. j. Curtin, |. W. Ward, j. w.
Stiles and S. j. Halverson, while nearly
every farmer makes it point to raise a
colt or two each year, and appreciates
the value of good pedigree. The

His sire, PhaIlas, is well known as the

In the same stable are: Rena Sprague,
brown mare, trial 2:3311s, by Gov.
Sprsuge. 2:2O14. dam by Grey Diomed,
second dam by Gen. Taylor. She was
bred to Aquarlns (three-year-old record

Auburn is a growthy bay filly by
Sentinel Wilkes 2,499, dam by Mann

formation are concerned is the flower of
the flock. She is bred in exactly the
same lines as the famous tWo-year-Old

ROLAND, by Athlete, 7l5, dam by a
son of BrignOli, Jr., 2S5, second dam by
Vermonter, is brown colt, which
though not standard bred, gives much
promise and acts like a trotter. He
will be gelded, as the owners think that
plentiful and that, for stock purposes,
ii pays to breed none but the best.
They are greatly pleased with Kenosha
and think i'll HIM they have horse of
great promise. Yet they are not
wrapped up in any particular hor and
do not heSItat. to breed some of their
own stock to other stations of estab-
liShed reputation or producing blood
lines.

Isaac G, 2:2694, and, while he has not
been patronized to the extent that his
merit deserved, his last colts have been
so promising that he is forcing himself
to Il prominent position.
|. ". Ward owns three-year-old by
him, dam by Corrigan's jackson, 2:271l,
second dam by Pilot Jr, that is espec-
tally promising. lie should be in the
hands of some man who would develop

other business to attend to him.
