NeWtoWn Horses.


ed by many others and many who KEEP
horses have one or more steeds which
show speed and style. The latest import
alton is the stallion Dilmont, bought in
New York, last week, by Robert S. Tom
linson of Mile Hill and brought home,
Friday afternoon. Dilmont is a seal
brown horse, standard and registered,
No. 1858. He is marked with two white
heels behind and was foaled in 1885 ;bred
by George Sission of Ironville, N. Y.
Dilmont was sired by Montello 1900 and
he by Almont 33. In Montello's family
is Claremont, whose record is 80, also
four others who are about to enter the
30 list. A two-year-old trotted half
mile in l 10, last Winter, on the ice,
showing that Dilmont is of speedy
family. Montello is one of the best bred
sons of the great Almont and is proving a
great sire of speed. Two of his sons have
shown their ability to beat 2 30; tilly,
coming three, also won all her races in
fast time and has shown half-miles in
public in l 10. This tilly will without
doubt prove one of the sensational colts
of 1891. Dilmont's pedigree shows an
honored line: First dam Camilla, trial
As at two years; second dam Bahia by
J.T. Paine This is one of the cleanest and
finest of the grandsons of the mighty AL
mont, possessing the blood of the two
greatest brood mares in the world. Dill
mont's splendid disposition makes him a
valuable addition to any breeding estab-
lishment. DilmOnt will make the season
at the barn of Mr. Tomlinson. Another
of his fine horses is Il bay PAGER, Keno
Wilkes, foaled in 1880, sired by George
Wilkes; marked with white feet forward.
He is a speedy PAGER and can show 2 30
gait. He was bought as speculation.
At Brookdale farm, l.. Nj. johnson
shows some excellent stock. Chief on
the list stands birmingham, 1904, a hand
some and spirited four-year-old, 10 IL
hands high, listed as brown, but almost
dark enough to be black. lie is marked
with star and white ankles and was
foaled May, 1887. Bred by Rumble &
White of the Ridgewood stock farm, he
was bought about two years ago by Mr.
johnson, who justly prizes him. His
sire, Wilkcsdale, 454l, has just been sold
by Rumble & White to California stock
men for $4,000. Hurlingham's first dam
was Loretta by Almont, Jr, and his sec
ond dam by Black Hawk Rather, both of
whom sired several with records below
, 30. Wilkesdale's record is 2 80 and his
sire, Alcantara, was the sire of 80 per-
%
Wilkesdale was by IIambletonian. Hur-
lingham is a handsome horse; strong,
smoothly made, good legs and feet, in
telligent head and perfect disposition.
He is a natural trotter. Through his sire
he gets the blood of a performing sire
and through his dam he gets the blood of
the mighty Almont; most desirable
combination. He is expected to touch
2 30, this season. MontwoOd 1922, bay,
foaled in 1886, is also at Mr. Johnson's
barn. He is considerably larger than
Nottingham, standing l6.l hands and is
of somewhat different style, but a thor
oughly good horse withal. His sire was
Skeptic; his first dam, Matte c.; his sec
ond, Matte G.. Many horses in this fam
wood is of good disposition, with the
very best of feet and limbs. He is par
ticularly fortunate as sire of coach or
general horses, though, inheriting as he
does the blood of Woodford Mambrino
and Pilot, Jr, with the mighty Almont on
the side of his dam, his colts should show
speed as well. Mr. johnson has a hand
some sorrel brood mare Jennie and trio
of colts; one, J. Maud, a year old next
June, perfect picture of Jennie another
is Portia, half sister of birmingham,
stocky brown filly with white star;
Hurlingdale, yearling, full brother to
birmingham and greatly resembling him.
These colts give promise of speed and
style when they reach maturity and will
be among the most valuable of Mr. John
sons horses. J. Maud is especially at
tractive rs yearling.
Pueblo 4l97, dark bay horse foaled
in 1885, has been owned by C. G. Peck of
Mount Pleasant since 1887. He stands
1913 high and weighs about 1915. He is
Il finely built horse, his conformation be-
ing especially fine. He is pure gated,
has fine knee action, and is good road
horse; an unusually fast walker, a de-
sirable quality in these New England
hills. He carries we'll shaped head and
neck and has as good legs and feet as any
horse can have. His oldest colts are
three, this Spring; they are large and
rangy, weighing nearly 1000 pounds now.
His yearlings weigh $50 and one Il
months old tips the scales at TAO. His
colts are all large and of good height,
one yearling standing ISL behind. AS
to Pueblo's pedigree, he was sired by
Bona Eide, 46 (trial better than 30);
Humbert and May F., of Bona Fide's
family, have records of % and 30.
The sire of Bona Eide was Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, the most famous horse in
the world and founder of the race of trot-
tiers. Maud S., Sunol and other sensa-
tional record makers bear the same re-
lationship to Rysdyk's Hambletonian as
does Pueblo. The dam of Bona Eide was
Old Kate, the most famous brood mare
of her day; among her colts were Young
Bruno, % 1-2, and others in the '20s.
Mambrino Chief was also among the an
cestors Of Pueblo. In this horse are COM
bined the good qualities of three of the
great families of trotters; the Handle
tonian the Mambrino Chief and (through
George NJ. Patchen) the Clay. His colts
have sold for good prices and he Is alto
