HOW TO BOOM VERMONT.

We quote from the Horse Breeder, the
leading authority on equine matters in
New England, the following article on Vt.
bred horses There is much Of interest in
it to every Vermonter, whether a breeder
Of horses or not; Tor whatever eniarges
or increases the money producing power
of our industries adds TO the prosperity OF
the state and consequently benefits every
one The lesson Of value in this article is;
that Vermont can produce as fast, as eour
ageous and as valuable horses as any place
| in the world, with the same care aud study
/ given the matter as is given it in Ky.
| Few people know or realize how much
the value Of the horse stock OF Vt has ad
vanced since the Breeders Association be-
gan its work of education That this work
is in its infancy is certain from the ad-
vance it has made in the last year The
breeders Of the horses named below added
the value OF an ordinary life's work on a
farm, to their property by raising single
colt Let US have the deserted pastures
filed with well bred colts.
PAAILIco.- OF the very prominent
features of the trotting turf during the
past season was the handsome little trot-
ting stallion whose name appears at the
head Of this article
Late in the season of 1859 Pamlico start
ed in his first race, which he Won in
straight heats. taking q record Of 2.29 Ia.
Subsequently this record was reduced to
2.2s l,in the seventh heat Of a race which
he won. Being a four year old, this was
capital race for so late IN the season, and
in il he showed the same game horse char
acteristies which have enabled him to
win races from large fields and in fast
time the past season.
Pamlico was bred By Chas. D. Wescott
OF Fairhaven, VT, and ioaled in 1885. His
sire IS Meander (226 1-2) by Belmont,ano
his dam is Birthday, son OF Hamhletoni-
an. Meander's dam was the well-known
daughter OF Pilot Jr, Minerva, and she
from Baccbante Mambrino, by Mambrino
Chief, her dam being Bacehante, by Down
ing's Bay Messenger.
The produce of Minerva which have
trotted or produced are ali stations Mug
get (2.26 1-2l, by Wedgewood (219), is the
sire Of first class campaigner Gold Leaf e.

paced in 2.30 or better. Egmont, fall

has eleven in the $50 list and one son
that has produced Meander has but two

The dam Of Pamlico is a handsome, high
ly finished daughter of Daniel Lambert

ter yet credited to a daughter OF her sire.
and be is as nc oiute and determined trot
ter as has graced the turf in several yeais,
ana proved that Lambert mares when mat
ed with stations bred in stout lines can
produce as game performers as the get OF
any other horse.
Pamlico has won seven races this season
and mas won thirty-three heats in 2S0 or
better, nine of which were faster than 200.
His more notable performances were nj
Philadelphia in July and at Rochester in
August At the first place he beat Suisun
ana others, taxing the last three Of FIVE
heats in 2.IT 1-2, 2.l9 ii, 2.17 81. At
Rochester he won the fourth, fifth and
sixth heats in 2.16 3-4, 2.i7 Ia. 21sI-2.
Pamiico early showed great speed Mr.
Rufus Hamilton of Fairhaven Vt. states
that he could trot a 2.S0 gait AT two years
Of age, and az that time predicted a bril-
liant career for him. His action is rapid
and nervous, and all his movemsnts indi-
iate lively, active disposition, which
With his breeding should make him a suc
,essful sire, not only of trotters, but of
hal much rarer article, capitai road hors-
IS.
