Up COUNTRY BREEDERS.
Sketches Of a Few Of Lawrence and
Butte Counties Trotting Breed
ing Establishments.
King Russell Pantano and Valentine s.
ID. T. Harrison, Minnesota.
Struggled around the prosperous town
OF Minnesota are several extensive trot-
ting breeding establishments, among
which that OF D. 7. Harrison stands out
prominently His stud includes the
best strains known in the trotting
embracing Wilkes, Harold, Manlbrino
4 Patchen and other fashionable blood.
At the head stands Pantano by Pam
coast 2:21A by Woodford Mambrino
i 2:21H and out OF dam by Harold the
sire Of Maud s, the recently dethroned
queen OF the turf.and some thirty others.
/ There is plenty OF developed ancestors
here, plenty OF Mambrino blood, plenty
OF great brood mares and hence,
an abundance Of tile blood that
breeds on. Pancoast, the Sire OF Mr..
Harrison's horse, besides being extreme
| ly speedy, has earned fame through sir
ing Patron 2:14A and several other last
ones, while yet comparatively young
horse. Warfield Wilkes anotherstallion
in Mr.. Harrisons stud is richly bred
too, being by Ellerslie Wilkes 2:2sSg, by
George Wilkes 2:22 and out OF a dam by
Selim 5476. Here again we find deypl-
opment, speed and II great plenty OF
Mambrino Patchen blood, through his
greatest daughter Betty Brown. Nam
brino Boy, made famous by such turf
celebrities as Axtell, Allerton etc, figures
conspicuously, close up in Warfeld
Wilkes pedigree. A third horse owned
by this gentleman is Star, by Star OF
the West 2:2G1s the sire OF Joe Young
2:19H and eight or nine others with
charmed marks, and out OF IL darn by
Waits Cadmus by Irons Cadmus.
Some claim, with considerable force that
the great Nelson gets much OF his speed
from the Cadmus source, SO that in Star
Mr.. Harrison has well bred horse also.
! Among the brood mares on this ranch
are Callie Medium, Oney, Hamletta,
Ellen 7. Josie, Lucy Sherman, Buelah
T. Luna, Judy and others. These rep
resent such fashionable strains as Wilkes
Happy Medium, Volunteer so, A!nont
33, Clark Chief, American Clay, Mann
brno etc.
The youngsters to be seen, include
many out OF mares by Valentine Swigert,
Governor Sprague jr., Iowa Star and
sired by Mr.. Harrison's own stations.
1t Will be easily noticed that the pro-
prletor OF this establishment keeps
abreast OF the times, by having plenty
| OF the blood that breeds on. Of course,
he is believer in Hambetonian ! @ and
| Enthusiastically leans towards the Mann
brina Patchen prood mare strain, He
also shows decided preference for de-
velvped sires and dams in pedigree, all
OF which indicates that Mr. Harrison is
a student OF the trotter. He will be
| heard from next year in the Black Hills
circuit
Fuller Bros. Minnesota.
It's connection with King Russell has
| familiarized the name Of Fuller Bros.
in trotting horse circles, all over the
Hills ~ *, 70 l>o, roI
with horse so highly bred, SO speedy
| and OF such superb conformation and
individuality. Some may excel him in
speed, although 2:264 is good fer his
opportunities, others may be larger, but
none prettier nor OF better breeding
King Russell is six years old and bay in
color, bred to suit the most fastiduous,
| with performing and producing ances-
tors III every strain. His sire Lord
Russell is full sister to Maud S, both be-
| ing by Harold and OF Miss Russell by
Pilot jr. Miss Russell is also the dam OF
the great Nutwood, so that the student
who fails to find the heighth OF fashion
here, cannot discover it elsewhere.
Turning to the dam OF King Russell,
Mist by name, we find she is developed
| also, having a mark OF 2:29lg and by
another developed horse King Rene
| 2:3Oh that as sire is rapidly coming
to the front. King Rene in turn is by
| the great Belmont and out OF a Mambri-
no Chief mare. Belmont in turn Is also
out OF q Mambrino Chief dam, so that
we have three times to the fountain
| head; twice to Mambrino Chief and to
Pilot jr and almost all through dcvel-
oped sires and dams.
King Russell has some promising
youngsters, that in next years circuit,
will be heard from.
and B Stock Farm Co
The name which heads this article is
probably better known, in connection
with trottlng horses, than any other in
the Hills. Star and Bullock were the pio
neers in the business here and the S and
b stock company succeeded them with
Valentine Swigert at the head OF their
stud. This horse has now proved him
self a sire entitled to registration,
through Valentine Chief, Howe and
Stanley. His sire Joe Dimmick was a
developed horse and sire, carrying a
stout infusion Of Morgan blood. His
dam Ellen Swigert receives an immense
recommendation through being also the
dam OF Vic H, one OF the trotting sell
sations OF 1891.
Ellen Swiserts breeding is also excellent,
her sire Swigert $50 having proved him
self entitled to rank with the best.
Besides Valctlne, the S and B company
own the standard stations Huguenot
and Grand Rapids, the latter by Louis
Napoleon, the sire OF Jerome Eddy 2:161a
and several other fast ones, thus tracing
to Volunteer 55 that great sire Of cam
paigners: Through his dam Grand
