Breeders Gazette: The Jewett Stock
Farm, which for n number Of years pledded
along in in the old-fashioned way of not de
velOpng its colt trOtters and therefore
caused good many people to believe that
it's premier stallion Jerome Eddy, 2:1GL,
was Of no accOnat as sire of speed, has
made remarkable showing this season,
which is the first one that its horses have
been actively Campaigned from spring until
fall for the purpose of finding out whether
or not they had any trOt in them. The re-
suit is that a. yoarling PAGER by Jerome Ed
dy.has gOns into tho $3.50 list, being the
only trOtter or PAGER CO his age bred and de-
velopcd east Of California that has q record
Of 2:30 or better. IN the fOT-year-old filly,
May Eddy, by Jerome Eddy. the Jewetts
have quite a combination, as she paced to
record Of 2:221s aSd trotted to record of
2:2519 this year. GlOrietta, two-year-old
filly by Jerome Eddy, took record of
2:30I, and the three-year-o old colt Octo, also
by Jerome Eddy, has q mark of 2:30, thus
giving Jerome Eddy q yearling, threc-year-
Old. and four-year-Old in the $50 list, with
two-year-Old only quarter of a second
outside, This showing made in one season
etfectually dispOscs of the question as to
whether or not Jerome Eddy, himself de-
veloped stallion of the 1ambletonian family
through the Volunteer branch of that house,
can get speed at either the trot or pace, the
answer being very emphatic ono in the
affirmative.
From letter in Clark's Horse Review we
take the following items:
OwOsso is beautiful hustling city of
1000 inhabitants, situated midway between
Detroit and Lake Michigan, at the junction
of the ID. G. ii. ~ NJ, the r. g. A. A., M.
G.. and the Muskegon railroads. 1t is the
birth place Of two of the fastest stations
that ever went out from one city or town Ia
America previous TO lsS6--Jerome Turner
2:15% and Jerome Eddy 2:l6L-and
is also the birth place OF several more
good ones, whose lights as yet may be a
little obscure, but liable TO shine out In the
near future.

take him TO his new home in the spring.
This is large heavy-bOncd, well made,

tend him TO his full speed to the halter.
G. j. Gale, of Corunna, is commencing
the foundation of a breeding establishment,
in small way, in the right direction. He
