The Messrs. Scales have turned out
many fine road and harness horses dur
inc the past. Recognizing the import
ance of introducing new blood into their
stud and with a manifestation Of energy
and enterprise characteristic of such
gentlemen, they have during the last
few years purchased in Kentucky and
other States a number of brood mares
of approved blood lines and good in
dividualty, thereby affordlng Belmont
Prince an opportunity to add further
lustre to the Splendid ancestral lines to
which his pedigree traces. w. j. Z.
