has got some fine results from her. j.
;. Tower also has a fine mare by Ben Adj
hem. Alfred Cove has some youngsters
by Thought, as has also Carlos c. White,
and several others, Thought having for
some years been favorite sire in this
vicinity, where he stood part of one sea-
son, his stock fully meeting the eXpecta-
lions of the breeders, as it natures early
and finds ready sale among those who
appreciate the highest road quality for
their own driving.
The next day we crossed the second
range of the Green Mountains from Roch-
ester to Bethel, one of the most pictur-
esque of the many delightful mountain
drives in the State, and passed down the
White River two miles to the Homestead
Stock Farm, owned and managed by C..
w. Bliss and his son, ID. w. Bliss, long
known among the enterprising horsemen
of this State. Here we found Mr.. Jo-
seph Battell's handsome bay stallion,
Thought @ $50, winner of eleven races,
@ 300 and Archie B. @: 33). Thought
is having an active season in the stud in
the hands of ID. w. Bliss, who has had
him several seasons and has driven him
in all his winning races. We enjoyed the
pleasure of drive after Thought, and Il
pleasure indeed it is, as there is but one
opinion among those who have had that
experience, and that is that Thought is
among the most perfect roa listers living.
\ man can take whole vacation in a
two hours drive on the elegant White
River roads after this prince of road stall
lions. Another most interesting an
imal here is the three.y ear-old brown
stallion, Northern Light, by the king of
northern trotting sires, Daniel Lambert.
and out of Lady Rodgers by Len Rod
gers (2:3S) by Telegraph. Lady Rod
gers is the dam OF. Ben Adhem. that has
gained double distinction in Indiana by
winning pacing race on a half-mle
track in , 81. pacing trial mile on a
mile track in 2:l1, having two of his
three-year-olds leave the field distance
out IN their first race in 30, and having
his four-year-old son. Counselor. win his
first race on half-mile track in , :3S.
Ben Adhem is only eight years old, and
is one of the most promising young sires
ever got by Ben Franklin. Northern
Light is a very fine-coated, brown, thor
oughbred looking fellow. standing l54
hands. and. unlike Ben Adhem. has pure
natural trOtting action. He is Just broll-
ell and has had no speed exercise as yet
but it is safe to say that he will take a
high place among the sons of Lambert
begotten after he returned to Vermont,
every living one of which | think has
been kept entire, and which if seen to-
gether would induce the belief that they
had been selected from the choicest in the
land. The second dam of Northern
Light was by Green Mountain Tiger, son
of Hale's Green Mountain Morgan and
out of daughter of Pixies Black Hawk,
son of Vermont Black Hawk. There are
quite large number of beautiful young.
sters here by Thought and Joe White
sons of Daniel Lambert, and Bread Loaf
son of Thought, from such dams as Lady
Rodgers and her daughter, Grace Green,
wood, by Dean Sage; but the queen OF
the younger brood is Janauschek, black
sucking filly by Ben Franklin: dam
Fleety Thought. by Thought; second
dam, Grace Greenwood, by Dean Sage
son of Hambletonian; third dam, Lady
Rodgers, etc. They call this the hand
soonest tilly ever bred on the place, and
she is large and vigorous, with pure nat
ural trotting action. If nothing happens
she will do her share to make popular
the double cross of Lambert blood which
she takes by the nearest lines from two
of his best sons. Lady Rodgers has been
bred the present season to Mr.. Moore
famous son of Aristos, Gillig Q :234).
