daughters OF Swigart are now in
great favor as dams with shrewd
breeders and their wisdom i'm selec-
ton is sure to be vindicated." Swig-
art has twenty-nine with records
ranging from 2:1SJ to go. thirty one
with records from 2:31 to 2:40, and
seventy-two that vary from cal to 3
minute The has IA sol that have sired
performers with records ranging

and closed last Januarya showing
which stands uneqnaled by any sire
living with no older produce than
has Swigart. As is shown. WESTERN
LAD. through his sire's dam, takes in
the choicest bloodof the Hanl,leton.
ian family, viz: Goldsmith's Abdallah,
Volunteer, Rysdyk's Hambletonian
and the sire Of Ry dyk's Hambleton-
ian. Abdallah CD, which constitute
the father and parent of all the most
popular trOtting strains in the world.
and it is well known that they are all
performers and sires of performers. |
will not tire my readers with n list of
their performers which would occupy
much time and space. WESTERN LAD
up to season Of 1889 never served n
mare that ever produced any speed
from any other sire. and yet with his
unfavO-able opportunities, from com.
mon farm mares he has sired a very
liberal average amount of speed.
None Of his get have entered the 2:30
list, but quite number have shown
better than $40. and l never knew
one Of them that was handled, but
with little handling would show 3
minutes. hear II very fiattering
reports froIn one filly called Maud J.
owned by Mr.. Broadwater of Helena.
Montana, and in charge of H. kir.
kendall OF same place. William Sha "
OF Milbank, Dakota. told me recently
that he saw her trot i'm race at Mil
bank in her three.year- old form in
2:35 and won the race over field of
old campaigners. have letters from
Mr.. Kirkendall and Ed. Lafertv, his
trainer, saying Maud J. had shown
trials 2:25, and they will wager $500
that she will get record in a race
this season of 2:30 or better. Her dam
was an old mare that failed to pro.
duce any speed from any other sire.
While the opportunities of the now
renowned Geo. Wilkes were confined
to the patronage of the farm mares
surrounding a country village in
York State, he failed to make a fay.
Orable mark as a sire, and his fees
were reduced to $40 to insure; but
when taken to Kentucky and had
the embrace of well-bred mares, he
soon sprang into favor and built his
fame as sire Of speed. The result
was that he was eighteen years old
when his first get entered the 2:3O
list. ] claim WESTERN LAD has
shown himself equal to any horse a.
a sire Of speed-his opportunities con-
sidered-and as for size, quality, dis
position and average sellers are une-
qnaled. will refer my readers to
George Miller. John f. Manning. A.
Thayer, as they have bought and
shipped them. They all tell the same
story that there is quality about
the get of WESTERN LAD that makes
them ready sellers at paying prices.
The sales of his get average from 5000
to $500, that being the price Mr..
Broadwater paid for Maud J. in her
three year-old form. No man can af-
ford to breed for speed alone. The
per cent. OF performers is too small
Breed to standard sires that get size,
quality and disposition and an equal
chance for speed. Then there is no
lottery abont it; you have safe and
profitable investment at all events.
Combine high order of individual
with a fashionable pedi
gree and on will never strike a dull
market. The horse of all others that
is best suited for drawing a heavy
carriage or coach is the American
trotter when Of proper size.
TERMS: $l5 for the season: $40 to
insure q mare in foal.

stallion can be set down as one of the
exceedingly handsome horses. And
