Horsemen viii find some valuable facts
that may interest them in the advts. on
inside pages Of some " the best horses IN
this part OF the state.
Hale Durrell, Esq, of Tunbridge, showed
colt in the square last Saturday; the colt
was days old, stood over 10 IL hands
high OF ~ 1-2 inches and weighed 2s3 lbs
This colt was sired by y. ii. Diapers
Pastoral The colt IS picture of his
sire being fine bay in color and in form
and action shows that be takes strongly
from the Belmont and King Rene blood.
Below we copy from the Manchester
Mirror and Farmer Of May. 1885, what they
say Of Pastoral:
y. NJ. Draper Of West Randolph. VT, Of
fers to the farmers and breeders of Vt. this
season the services of a horse OF pure
and rich breeding, viz: Pastoral 11456, a
son OF the great herd stallion winner King
Rene, out OF a mare by Princeps- AS King
Rene is a son of the great Belmont fsire OF
thirty -one in the 2:30 list, of twenty-five
sons that have sired seventy mine 2:30 per-
formers, and Is dams that have produced
twenty-on in the 2:30 list and the sire of
Fuge, 2.l9 4, and eight others in 2:30, and
as Princeps has TO his credit twenty-five
in the 2 30 list, six sons that have 10 and
six daughters that have Z, the breeding OF
Pastoral ought to well-nigh satisfy the
most exacting. The blood Of King Rene
is new to VT, and coming within the
reach of the breeders OF the State in such
channel as it is found in Pastoral it be-
comes desirable and should be sought af-
ter.
Mr.. j. B. Wells OF West Randolph, VT,
one OF our Oldest subscribers sends us the
card of his stallion Richelieu, who was BY
Monarch, by Hambletonian 10, out of
mare by Abdallah I; dam OF Richelieu was
said to have been sired by Old Morrill,.
MIR. Wells is not certain about il, and ii
makes very little difference in view OF
some solid facts which we wish to pre-
sent. There is not much doubt that she
was an extra mare for '.she had great roai
qualities and strong constitution" and
Mr.. Wells would not have bred poor
mare to Monarch son of Hambletonian.
This horse Monarch was noted for the
close resem olance OF his progeny and the
matched pairs which he got.
Richelieu seems 10 be just such an i'm
pressive sire. he is a bay, sixteen hands
and weighs 1850 pounds. He served three
mares in mis- -year-old form and got
three colts which were sold for 800 one
pair selling for $3.50. His service lee IS
only so, so farmers can afford to patron
ize him and will be glad 70 do so. These
are the prices which some OF Monarch's
colts have sold for. Farmers need 10
look after these matters closer than they |
do. Remember that the first thing is a
good mare, the next a horse with a rec
ord like the one which Monarch has.
