beautiful dark bay without marks, fine
style, fine, Intelligent head, nice name
and tail, in fact, is a fine horse all over.
He is also nice gated and one of the
finest roadsters that ever man sat be-
hind. IL given chance ought to get a
fast record, for he has great burst of
speed. Those of his oldest colts in the
east, now three, that have been handled,
are proving very satisfactory to their
owners. They are not only kind and in
telligent, but they have way of going
which indicates that they are very liable
to keep coming.
Mr.. Russell also has Elcano 1877, by
, Mansfield @ 26) which is a son of Mes
senger Duroc, and out of Green Mount
ain Maid, the greatest brood mare that
ever lived. Elcano's dam by Rysdyk's
Hambletonan, and out of Dolly Mills,
another great brood mare, and one of
the best daughters of the great brood
mare sire, Seely's American Star. Ell
cano therefore possesses one-fourth of the
blood of Green Mountain Maid, dam of
Electioneer, sire of 100 trotters and one
PAGER in the list, three-eighths of the
blood of Hambletonian, )ne-eighth of
the blood of American star. Is not that
blood that ought to troG, sire trOtters
and breed on?
Elcano is horse of great muscular de-
velopment aud substance. He is a nice
bay or brown, one white foot behind,
stands about Is 2, and will weigh abOu.
1000 pounds. He is level-headed, pure
gated, and when horseman sees him
he will say that he has seen trotter
He is also very nice road horse.
Mr.. Russell has three very good brood
| OF ri pI- hive,
daughter of Goodwin's Hambletonian.
The other two are by G. W.. Mitchell,
son of Aristos q 2734). They are all
with foal by his stations. He has two
nice three-y ear-olds by Bay Wilkes, that
the efficient manager of his stock, Mr..
John Wilmoth, is driving, and also Il
yearling filly by Elcano, out of one of
his Mitchell mares, that shows lots of
speed. This filly gained 60 pounds in
one month this winter. When breeders
fully realize that it's the first two years
feed to the colt that practically makes
the horse, we shall have less number
of Scrubs
Henry |. Frost, one of our lverymen,
and the breeder of Psych q 2414), has
quite number of good ones. He still
owns the dam of Psyche, and keeps her
breeding. This mare has had seven or
eight foals, all FLIES. Mr.. Frost has
five-year-old by Tyringham, son of
Alcantara; also one by Almont Eagle
(2,2T and they can both show good
deal of speed. He has a yearling by
Westmont CPD, all out of Psyche's
Abdallah Prince 749, whose dam was
nearly related to Psyche, that is trotter
now, and hitched to a pole with grand
daughter of old Daniel Lambert, owned
by D. E. Ladd, the popular proprietor of
the Commercial House, that can show
the Lambert step. They make very
speedy and slick team.
l.. Il. Lowell, another one of our
livery men, has been breeding quite
good deal in the last few years. He has
a farm about two miles out where he
has quite a number of colts and fillies,
by Bay Wilkes, Westmont and others,
that he is having broken. They are
nice lot of animals, good size, good color,
good style and good actors. That class
of horses will always sell. Mr.. Lovell's
son, Fred L., has a very nice, large,
rangy five-year-old mare by Westmont
(2.2G, and out of mare by Sanshine
6S3l, sire of the dam of AlcyO (2.1SA
as four-year-old), that is showing
good deal of speed for the amount that
she has been handled.
George A. Weston, one of our lawyers,
has farm two miles south of here on
the banks of the Connecticut, where he
has quite a nice collection of brood
mares and young stock. He has three
young mares by Bayard. Mr.. Weston
thinks that granddaughters of Pilot Jr.,
when they are sired by his best son
ought to make good brood mares. Bay
ard has dozen in the list, and sired the
dam of Faust (three year-old record in a
race 2,1SA), the dam of Bayard Wilkes
@ 2314 and an authenticated trial of
2l54) and several others. His Bayard
mares are all out of good dams. One of
them was bred to Bay Wilkes and an
other to Falls (223), son of Eleclioneer,
last season.
Mr.. Weston has also speedy, pacing
five year-old daughter of Tricep 1888
sire of Dusty Miller e 2214), that was
out of a fast-producing daughter OF
Daniel Lambert. This mare is with foal
by Arrival (2241a). She and her dam
were bred early last spring to Arrival,
and the mare by old Daniel afterwards
sold to the proprietor of ''Pine Tree
Stock Farm (home of ArrivaD, Gardi-
ner, Me-, where she now is. Mr.. Weston
says that Arrival is one of the finest
he is good size, good style, good solid
color, not bad mark, and not only very
fast, as bis record indicates, but is a very
fine road horse. 1t is very seldom that
you find all of those qualities combined
in a stallion bred as Arrival il. sired by
a fast, well-bred son of Red Wilkes, and
out of a speedy, well-bred daughter of
Alcantara, that has proved herself to be
a producer. Those who breed to Arrival
will not get as many blanks in this ho Sc
lottery as those who breed to stallion
simply because he has the blood of some
great ancestors, or simply because he is
a nice looking individual, regardless of
breeding.
Mr.. Weston has four-year-old daugh-
ter of Almont Eagle (2.2O that was out
of one of his Bayard mares granddam by
Abdallah Prince; great-granddam dam
of Spotted Jim, 2.33, Arabian Girl, 2 40,
and granddam of Psyche, 2.2i14), said to
be by the Churchill Horse, son of old
| Rlack Hawk (59 This mare was also
