Sired by Woodford Wilkes. sire of
Hampshire (22S), Woodford Jim, two
year-old record with less than sixty
days handling 1921, Ivy Wilkes 1881,
Belle Wilkes three-year-old 9:49, etc.
1t will be remembered that Wood
ford Wilkes is but eight years of age,
while George Wilkes was eighteen,
Nutwood fourteen. Jerome Eddy flf-
teen, Phallas thirteen, Electioneer
twelve years of age when their first
representative appeared in the $50
list To give a list OF all the perform
ers appearing to the credit of the an
cestry of LIsBURN would take too
much time and space. l will merely
give the breeding of a few of his inn
mediate ancestors. His first dam,
Flash. by Baymont: second dam, Ma
roma, by Western Chief; third dam
Alkaline, by Swigart. etc. | will say
that his ancestry is standard and are
producers, in short he takes in the
best strains Of all the best families,
viz: the Hambletonian, the Wilkes.
Mambrino Chief, Henry Clay and
Blackwood families, and careful
study of the pedigree of this colt
| should be guaranty of what anyone
would naturally expect to find in a
colt SO royalty bred, and a good look
at him will amply prove the adage
that blood will tell" and we simply
say this is large, fine young Wilkes
colt with eight producing dams in his
ancestry. We are just breaking and
mildly jogging him with q view of de-
veloping his speed. As he already
shows the same leyel-headed, dead
game quality of his halt brother,
Woodford Jim, that trotted to q rec
ord Of 2:32t last fall in his two-year-
old form with less than sixty days
handling. He has that clean, easy
and resolute way Of going that will
convince anyone that he is a natural
born trotter and has the ability to
make a fast record for his age when
ever called on to do SO.
Limited to eight approved mares at
$50 for the season; $50 to insure a
mare in foal
WooDWoRTH. ee5i.
Sired by William M. Rysdyk Jr.,
rec. 2:229ii; first dam by Springfield
Chief, 2:32l, by Royal George. He
the two great producing families
/
George-where the the Wilkeses,
Maud S.. Sunol, J. l. c., ETC., sprung
from. WooDwoRTH is a mahogany
bay with black points, fine name and
tail, seven years old, is fine in shape,
style in action. In fact this young
stallion can be set down as one of the
exceedingly handsome horses And
coming through great speed produc-
ing blood On both sides, he should
prove q great sire of speed. His sire
has a record as q young horse of 1891,
his dams sire Of 1924, and is a trotter
himself. He came here in my charge
in June last with a record of 3:O7,
made q season in the stud, after sea-
son he was tracked some and trOtted
in several races. In all of them he
was hot contestant and very sue
cessful, reducing his record to GAL,
and before he was let up showed q
trial on half-mile track of 1881. He
showed the level-head, dead game,
do-or-die quality OF a race horse,
fighting every heat to a finish. 1t
sometimes occurs that owners OF
stations will stand behind the corner
of q barn and tell people, for the sake
of patronage, their horse can beat
any stallion in the town or county.
For such have only this to say:
,, will match any stallion now standing
for mares within the corporation Of
Cresco for 800 q side, to harness,
play or pay: the entire amount to be
put up at once, and race to be trotted
on the Cresco track on the 18th o.
July.
TERMS: $15 to insure a mare in foal
Mares not regularly returned OF
.. parted with shall be considered iI
foal. Due precaution will be taker
, to prevent accidents, but no respon
sibility assumed. For further partic
