Stables ofthe Driving Park.
1 There are number of pedigree
horses and mares quartered at tn
stables of the Christian County Driv
ing Park, among the number being
Gordon, Bonnie Hambletonian, Ray
Gordon, o-Phallis, Sallie G.
Mollie Mac and others. Gordon
owned by Mrs. Anna Dills, is splen-
did blood bay, six years old, sired by
Onwood, the very best son Of Geo,
Wilks, and out OF Comlet, the dam Of
Cyclone. He is perfect model ol
beauty, having no defects, and is mus
cular, short coupled and every part
thoroughly developed. His blood is
of the very best and If such horse
would not produce speed then there
is little use Of breeding for speed.
Next in order is Bonnie Hambleto-
nian, by McCurdy's Hambletonian,
who has sired more extreme speed
than any other horse in this part OF
the country. He is very large sorrel,
well built, with fine bone and is thor
oughly proportioned, shows up admi-
rably in harness and is only FIVE years
old. This fine specimen of well bred
equine flesh is owned by Mr.. @. f..
Jarrett. rat, a-
With two such pedigreed sires at
their command the breeders Of this
vicinity ought to improve the oppor-
tunity, as it does not cost.any more
money to raise a thoroughbred colt
than il does to raise scrub" and il
is not infrequent that well bred colt
will sell readily at weaving time for
more than an aged horse not SO well
bred. A look at the above horses will
convince any one of the fruits OF
to fine stock.
The next animal which attracts at
tention is Ray Gordon, a bay colt,
two years old, owned by Mr.. r. H.
Holland. Ray Gordon was sired by
Gordon, and is truly the pride of the
stable. He is well built, active, well
grown and is considered by competent
Judges of horse flesh to be the most
promising colt in this part OF the
'ountry. Under the training of Mr..
?. h. McNaney this colt has devel-
,ped great speed.
Simmo- Phallis, owned by Cooper
I McNaney, is a 3-year-old bay colt,
~ the great Simmons, dam Lula
'hallis. This colt is very stylish and
las plenty of bone. He is a half
'rother of Ray Gordon and is above
he average run Of well-bred 3-year
Ids.
Sallie O.. owned by Mr.. Gentry
Iillman, of Birmingham, Ala, is also
Inder the training Of Mr.. McNaney.
'he is beautiful chestnut sorrel, five
ears old, royalty bred, McCurdy's
dambletonian being her sire and her
lam Hambletonian number 10 mare.
'he is developing great speed and it
) confidently expected that she will
'eat 2:20 this year. She moves with
race and ease.
Mollie Mac, owned by Mr.. Nc
Ianey, is bay mare Of rather ordi-
ary appearance, but of fine blood.
he is five years old and promises to
Iustle the horse that passes her ON the |
astest time.
There are great many other fine
nimals in the stables, among them,
hirteen owned by DIR. Ben S. Wood,
nd one owned by Mr.. Walter Rad
ord, but want Of space forbids more
han passing remark. Mr.. McNaney
} assisted in training and speeding |
" Mr.. A. B. Aulick, Of Northern
Kentucky, q thoroughly competent
oung man. Mr.. McNaney has made
ne business study and is quite an
xpert in the art himself.
DR.. Wood has secured the services
Harry Phillips, also professional
-ainer, to handle his fine stock.
