cEDARWooD.
This son of Nutwood is at the head
of Mr.. Dyer's stud. He is bay horse,
foalcd in 1888, bred by J. c. McFalran,
Glen View Stock Farm, Louisville, Ky.
Cedarwood, I'LL, record 1921, was
sired by Nutwood, he by Belmont, the
sire Of Fred Arthur 2151; he by Alb
dallah, the sire of Goldsmith Maid ,. IA:
be by Hambletonian 10, the sire Of Flee
tioneer, who was the sire of Sunol 20S1
The dam was Four Lines, who comes
from great producing line of trot-
tiers, and who has the following colts
in the list: Merry Thought, 2.2244:
NOx, three year old form 2 254; Wood
line in two year old from 22S; Ne
misses, 22o and Cedarwood 2.294
The latter has only started in three
races, the season just closed being
his first year on the turf,
and he is horse that will be
heard from before next season closes.
From his nose to his heels Cedarwood
is fashioned and formed in lines of beau
ty and strength. In harness Cedarwood
is very stylish and snowy His action
is rapid and apparently effortless, with
plenty of energy and ambition, and we
predict for him that before the racing
seasons closes next year he will be
found with a mark lower than 220.
10 So, Victory 2294 Another most
valuable horse owned by this gentle
man is the above, who is sired by
Alden Goldsmith, Dam Jannet. He is
bay brown, stands sixteen hands high
and weighs in trotting form 200. He
is powerful built and a fine locker. As
foal getter he has no superior, as all
his colts have developed into trotters or
a high grade carriage herse. Victory
was bred by Richard Richards Of Racine,
Wis, foaled May II, 1881.
CHESTNUT THORNE 1880.
Chestnut Thorne is dark chestnut,
small stripe in face, and stands 16
hands high. He is a handsome clean
cut horse and a knee actor, one of the
things requisite in a breeding stallion,
insuring colt that if not trotter, will
be a good high acting road or carriage
horse.
Chestnut Thorne was bred by L. Z.
Shippie Of Stockton, California, his sire
was Hawthorne, the best son of Nut
wood. His dam, Mocking Bird, has a
two year old record of 23S1.
