DEPORnrENT.
Is of fine presence whether at rest or in

tion. Has the very best disposition. a
lady can handle him.
SPEED ELEMENTS.
1t will be noticed that Henry S. is in
bred to Rysdyk's Hambletonian-the faith
er of trotters. He has also strain from
Daniel Lambert, 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 phenomenal trotter ever upon
the turf"
PRODUCE.
1t is well known that many stock hors-
es of the very best breeding, and them
selves fast, do not sire trotters. Occas
ionally 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 already in the
thirties and three of them are so close to
$50 that some of them are almost certain
to reach that charmed limit the present
season, which will make him standard, of
which he now fails by reason of his sire
being but one second short. When stand
ard let those who think of using him ask
themselves IL buc SCINlCC lCS VIII OC llhSly
to remain at the present low figure.
TERMS.
To warrant, $25, payable when the
mare proves in foal. All mares at own
er's risk and if disposed of before foaling
to be treated as in foal.
Good pasturing for mares from dis
tance.
The horse may be found on Tuesdays,
Wednesdays and Thursdays at Geo. Ow-
ems stable, in Barton on Fridays, Satur-
days and Mondays at Grout farm near
East st. Johnsbury.
No business will be transacted on
Sunday.
The owners of Henry S. hereby give
notice that it is their intention to take
advantage of the lien provided by an Act
approved Nov. 81, 1888, entitled an "Act
for the protection of horse owners"

the speed-producing power of Henry 5.
HAMBLEToNIAN's LAsT.-Rysdyk KS Hambletonian
began his stud career when but two years old. One
of his first foas, if not his very first, AleXan-
der's A bdallah The latter died when but thirteen
wears old yet a careful study of the 2.3o list viii
show that a greater number of the animals found
there traces to Alexander's Abdaah than to any
other stallion that ever lived excepting his own
ancestors
With the exception of the year 1868, Rysdyk's
Hambletonian in the stud from 1851 to the time
of his death in 1873, period of 25 years During
this time he got 1888 living foals The first of these
to acquire distinction upon the turf the famous
Dexter (2.174), which for several years king of
the trotting turf Dexter's dam, as is well known,
was Clara, 141 hand, nervy, resoute daughter of
Seelys American Star. The last foal produced by
Hambletonlan is DIR. j. A. Sherman's handsome
stallion, very appropriately named Hambletonian's
Last, likeness of which appears upon another
page He is a smoothly turned speedy fellow, bred
by his present owner and foaled in S76- In -iis
eight-year-old form he gotta record of 2253. His
dam, like that of Dexter (217D, was by Seely's
American Star. Daughters of Seely's American
Star have already produced thirty-three stations
which have got go performers. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that before many years Hambetonians Last
will be numbered in that class.
