WESTERN LAD, NO. 1852.
Will be kept for service during the season
of 1890, at the stable Of the under
signed CreacO Iowa


WESTERN LAD is a grand looking stallion
standing 16 hands high, and possesses great
beauty, finish and style. He is a horse OF
great substance, extra clean, hard bone,
fine name and tail; is a rich bay in color.
He has never been handled for speed; his
action is bold, open and rapid. conclusively
showing that he is natural trotter.
Sired by Ruchiell (G49,) trial to wagon in
his five-year-old form, 2:28t; he was kicked
by mare from which he died when six
years old; he sired Rubertha, 2:A in her
four-year-old form, then put to breeding.

2:3O and sire of % with records from 2:18 to
2:3O, 81 that have trotted between 2:3O and
2:40. 81 that have trotted between 2:4O and
$50 also sire Of Chimes, who sired Chimes
E., record of 2:15, and II other sons that
have produced performers with records
ranging from 222 to 2:3O; he has also sired
the dam of Victor Sprague, s24!, volun-
teer's Swigart, 2:26.; Nestor, 2:3O; Corel,
2:23!, Leo, 229s; Don Angus, 2:23; Prince
Sprague, 1881. Second dam. Mary Bird
(thoroughbred) by Imp. Mickey Free. Ru-
chiell, by Swigart $780, lst dam, Virginia,
by Goldsmith Abdallah (ls4) half brother
to st. Julian, rec. 2:11, he by the best son
Of Rysdyke Hambletonian (volunteer) and
his dam, Martha, by the sire of Rysdyke
Hambletonian. Swigart's list dam, Blandi.
L.
1t will thus be seen that WESTERN LAD,
starting from thoroughbred foundation,
takes in double cross Of the great Swigart,
running twice to Mambrino Chief through
Swigart, and through Goldslnith's Abdallah
(164 he takes in Volunteer, the best son Of
Rysdyke Hambletonian, showing that he
possesses the very essence of the HANDLE
tonian Family, and through SwiRart he
he takes in the best strains Of the Black
wood and hiambrino Chief faMilies-three
families that have produced more trotters
than all other families combined. 1t will
thus be seen that all blood elements in
WESTERN LAD are from proven speed pro-
ducing lines.
WESTERN LAD, as sire Of speed. ! can
safely say. has shown himself equal to any
horse, his opportunities considered, as up
to 1887, he never served q mare that ever
produced any speed from any other sire:
and yet on o class of mares that other sires
have entirely failed on, he has sired Maud
j., record Of 2:ssa, trial in $50 in her three
year-old form, from an old mare that bred
all her life, and never produced any speed
from any other sire, This FLY was pur-
chased by Mr.. Augustine OF Spokane Falls
fer $3.50. Saul, DR.. Bennett writes me,
with ten days handling by trainer last
fall, trotted full mile In a fraction less
than 2:35. Cap. Webb trotted last fall,
driven by Howard Hayden, in 2:4l. Deck,
with six weeks handling, trotted a trial in
1891, and Mr.. Sutton sold him the same
day for $3.50. Sleepy Dan, with Q very little
irregular handling, trotted in 2:48 In his
four year old form, and bids fair to enter
the 2:3O list this season. Mr.. Fhoanelsop, Of
LaSeur, Mimi, has a span that, without
any track work, trotted and won a pole
race Of two-mile heats, in s, and trotted
one mile in the race in SOL; and refused an
offer Of 1890 for the team the salne day.
In short, WESTERN LADS produce are VI
good size, fine form and uniformly showing
the trotting instinct to be the controlling
impulse.
In sales Of WESTERN LADS produce that
have come under my observation are ten
head that have aggregated $497o, an aver
age Of $407 each, and but four Of the ten
that ever had any track work, and thii
showing has been made lr0m class Of
mares that other sires have entirely failed
on, and it certainly il the demand for. and
the value of q sire's produce which must
determine the value OF stock horse to thu
public, mo man can afford to breed fol
speed alone. Breed to q sire that breeds
size, fine form and style, with IN equa
chance of speed, then there is no lotte,
about it. You have good safe investment
at oil events. Where can be found another
sire that can, from mares possessed Of M
trotting inheritance, make such showing
with his produce on the track or in sales
and his get sought after at such prices. HI
has been shown in the ring with s or MoFa
Of his get every season since his first crol
of colts, and has never failed to secure Isl
premium.
