The Globe-republican. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1889-1910, 1889-12-04

The events of to-day are the history of
the future. Why should we wait for
that history to become interested in the
facts which make it? When the history
of Kansas becomes old and classic it will
have chapter, at least, devoted to the
horses which helped to make her famous.
Let US know something about them now.
Happening to visit the farm of Mr..
Sam'l Stubs. at the eastern limit of the
city, we encountered what Wegg would
call delightful sapperise,' because
we were ignorant of the kind of industry
carried on here. We were surprised to
find SOME of the very best horse blood in
the country, right here under our noses,
so to speak. Some months ago Mr..
Stubs went to Newton and from the cell
ebrated farm of o. B. Hildreth he Sc
lected few mare colts as foundation
to what will become part of the horse
history of Kansas. To particularize We

As most of Stubb's colts are sired by
Astral, it may be said of him that he was
sired by Asteroid, son of Lexington.
He is dark bay, without white, sixteen
hands high and weighs 1000 pounds, is
a horse of great power and possesses
wonderful speed and endurance, was
bred by A. J. Alexander. WOODBURY.,
Kentucky, and when two-year-old was
owned by Ex-Governor Robertson, of
Lexington, Kentucky. He was started
in three races, all of which he won with
ease over large fields of Kentucky and
Tennessee crack horses. At Lexington,
September 18th, 1873, he defeated a large
field in the fastest time ever made by a
two-year-old up to that date in America.
