1t will thus be seen that WESTERN LAD
combines the choicest blood Of the three
greatest trotting families on earth, viz:
BlackWood, Mnmbrino Chief and Hamble-
tOnian families.
WESTERN LAD, up to season Of 1887. has
never served mare that ever produced
any speed from any other trotting sire, and
vat hIA Erns
have shown q remarkable degree Of speed
But four Of his get have had any handling
whatever. Captain Web, with little .ir-
regular handling, has shown mile trials on
q very slow half mile track in 2:48. Two Of
his get (Saul and Deck DR. Bennett took to
Kansas City. Saul, Mr.. Bennett still owns:
has never had any handling, only what
Bennett gave him here. He is reported
very speedy, and o long price is asked for
him. Deck, 5. A. Sutton bought Of Mr.
Bennett, and placed him in the hands Of J.
l. Wilson, who handled him six weeks and
drove him 239a clip; and Mr.. Sutton sold
him the same day to Mr.. Stuart, of Kansas
City, Mo-. for $3.50. A four-year-old owned
here by Mr.. Hayes with about five weeks
handling from u green colt Tapped out the
ted the last halt mile of the fourth heat
u a:42 gait. Western Lads get from a bet
ter class OF mares which he has been get
ting are showing remarkable speed A
sucking when seven months old, last fall
led behind q cart, trotted quarter with
out skip in SOY seconds. His get from or
binary mares are rarely equllled in unifor-
NIFTY, size, bone, soundness and style,
which is attested by the fact that they
have out sold by u great per cent. III price
the get OF any other sire in this vicinity. |
