Gently purchased of Mr.. M. T. Pooler, of
Skowhegan, the two-year-old FLY May
be-So. by Also, 2:2O at the half mile
Topsham track. Maybe-So stands 1873
and weighs 1000 pounds. In color she
is nice mahogany bay with black points,
and Of about perfect conformation for
strength and speed. She has large, in
telligent and gentle eye, short strong
back and great length under her body.
She will not be handled for speed this
season, but when she gets her strength,
with suitable road work will be shaped
up for a record. The sire of this prom
Using 2-year-old Also is horse Of bril-
liant breeding in the Wilkes family from
the Wilkes family. A few years ago Mr..
Pooler sent him to Mystic for record.
He got 2.20} in the mile track. While
still in condition started him at Top
sham for the benefit of the Sagadahoc
County fair and he made the same rec
ord against time on the half mile track
The PRESS reporter was in the stand, and
as many good watches made it flat 2.20
as 2.203 Mr.. George NJ. Stanwood, of
the firm of Randall & McAllister, with
fine timer made it a fiat 2.20, as well as
several others. This performance on
| half mile track was certainly something
extraordinary, for the track was by no
means in good condition, and the driver
took the word at 40 clip, but Also kept
coming, and he finished at a 2:1O stride.
He is great horse in every sense of the
word, beauty, breeding, size and game.
Maybe-S, with her royal breeding on the
dam side is certainlya valuable reinforce
ment to the splendid horse stock of the
city of Deering.
DR.. Morrill, has sold his three-year old
filly Kaleen by Westland to Mr.. J. F.
Barrett the owner of that we'll known
horse. The DIR. bought one half of
broke her and started her in three races
as yearling, getting third money at
Norway in field of seven starters; second
money at Lewiston during the State
Fair i'll field of five starters and was
first in field of six starters at the Cum
berland County Fair at Gorham. AS a
two-year old she was prevented from
starting in races for which she was en-
tered by an accident. In her two-year
old form she weighed 1865 pounds, just
"a months from the day she was foaled.
Mr.. Barrett naturally wanted this fine
mare as a representative horse by
worthy dam and Dr.. NJ. reluctantly
parted with her.
DR.. Morrill, is also the owner of that
rare mare, Miss Wilkes, a daughter of
Kaiser, 2.264 and granddaughter of the
great Geo. Wilkes 2.22. The Dr.. raised
the dam Of Miss Wilkes, Fair Lady, 2.37
by Dictator. The dam of Kaiser was
also the dam of rEmperuer 2.25. No
blesse 2.31 as a four-year old The
second dam was Monte West by Almont
dam of Aristides 9. 2S1 and another with a
trial in 2.19. Miss Wilkes dam was Non
pariel trial 2.314 to wagon and she was
also the dam of six inside the 2.40 list
The second dam was a daughter of son
OF imported Messenger.
Miss Wilkes was sent to Kentucky and
mated with Bourbon Wilkes and the
progeny was that superb animal Ocean
Wilkes, now the property of Mr.. Haw-
klns OF Deering. Miss Wilkes is now at
Skowhegan for mate with Mr.. Pooler's
Also and Or. Morrill, has already sold
the colt for $500 at four months old if
all right. An inbred Wilkes from two
such parents is certainly expected to
proving podigy.
DR.. Morrill, on recent visit to Boston
went out to the new great horse breed
