Last seasons work has shown that the
dead stallion Nutbourne full brother to
the famous Nutwood, by Belmont, out
of the dam of Maud s., that trOtted
trial for Mr.. Bonner as fOur-year-old
in 2:2617, was capable of getting as
good race horses as any stallion in the
land. says writer in the Sportsman.
Great as is his full brother, the mighty
Nutwood, we doubt if Nutwood ever
got better race horse. everything con-
sidered, than Nutbourne got in Chey-
enne, 2:154. In his last race at Lex
ingtOn, this blind stallion started in a
field of eight and won in straight heats
in 2:1S111, 2:i594, a:1524, defeating such
campaigners and race horses as Miss
Alice, 2:17I; Charleston. 2:15; Abble
V, 2:1S4: Bonnie Willmore, 2:144, and
Pickpania, 2:1423l, etc.
Breeders are hunting the country over
for daughters of Nutwood since Arion
came out and trotted so maryelouSly on
the Pacific coast as twO-year-old. Who
can say but that the daughters of Nut
bourne, the full brother of Nutwood,
are just as good, and why should they
not be just as good? Directly in this
connection Is letter written by Sam
uel Gamble, in the Breeder and Sports
man, San Francisco, as follows:
Il notice in the American Trotter an
item where it says: Immediately upon
der of the horse world up to this present
day, had taken tWo-year-old record of
2:10%, G. W. Williams wired Senator
Stanford to book ten hjgh-bred FLIES by
the horse Allerton, 2:09I, to Arion,
season of 1898, at twenty-five hundred
dollars go, 500 each.
Therein it says that Mr.. Williams is
strong believer in developed speed.
While the combination of Arion, 2:10I,
and Allerton. 2:0914. out of the ten
FLIES mentioned, should produce great
speed and blood that would send trot-
ter close to the 300 mark, yet l cannot
agree with some that the combination
of the two records, 2:09H and 2:1O3l,
alone will do the act. 1n my Judgment
the produce by the full brother to Arion,
2:103l, and a full sister to Alierton,
2:094, with the energy of Williams to
develop and drive the produce. the

mination of Senator Stanford to make
them trot or die then | think they could
be made to perform just as we'll as with

stop the produce from trotting.
R"My advice to young breeders of mo-
derate means is, do not get discouraged
if you cannot pay $3.50, or $1,000, or
81, 500, or $4,000 service fees, but breed
to the very best blood lines that your
means allow you, and you will prosper
by so doing, and in time be right in the
swim. Also just ask some of these how
fast record the sire of Allerton had q
we'll know that he could get in the COM
mon $50 list); ask how fast a record the
dam of Allerton had; ask again, if you
please, how fast record the grand old
hero. the late Electioneer, had, also the
dam of AriOn. The same may apply to
Sunol. Palo Alto. Maud S. Jay Eye See,
Nancy Hanks. Anteeo. Prince Wilkes,
Axtell, and others that could mention.
Ask again, you young discouraged
breeder, why Mr.. Williams did not
ship Lou (the dam of the great AXtell,
2:32.) out here to California and breed
her to the fastest stallion son of the old
hero, George Wilkes Guy Wilkes,
2:I5L. Mr.. Williams thought that per-
hapS it was too far to ship to Guy
Wilkes with service fee OF $3.50.
mo; Mr.. Williams did just what l
would be compelled now to do. He bred
to a full brother of Guy Wilkes without
a record-and deformed horse at that.
Now, here was a case where the sire,
William l., had no record, and Lou, dam
of Axtell, had no record: but it pro-
duced. in my judgment, If Budd Doble

lions up to the present day. and was
