OF which are stations, 6 are Mares

Of those unbelievers OF standaruisul and by one
that predicted 10 ears ago the very same theory
that today is favored by he best breeders of the
nation and that is standard by inheritance, and
through that idea Lord Brougham was not per-

pc. fecty sound and no one can make any mis-
take in buying a horse Of this kind no matter
what purpose he wants him for, track, road or in
the stud Many imagine ii must be a standard
bred animal in order to produce two minute
trotter. but this is far from the facts shown
by the very fartest stations OF to-day the past.

breeding, by there breeding While many OF the
standard bred animals Tot individually fast
performers but quite to the contrary. The most
extreme speed performers Of to-day are not
standard by breeding and 20 look over the breed

Polo Alto. Axtell, Clingstone and very many more

or guide can be made that will warrant a certain
result.
leave it to you to make make the price and
whatever price You pay my wish is that you may
do well. Yours Respectfully.
