who did more toward advertising South
ern California abroad than any one Of 9
dozen other horses. This colt is running
bred on the dams side, his maternal
grandsire being son OF the gallant old
bay horse whose record at three-mile
heats remains unbroken to this very day,
although accomplished over quarter
century ago. The difference between
this stout little cob and his younger
half-brother, by Mckinney, 2:12H, is
very noticeable when both colts are out
on the track together. The 2 year-old
is the larger horse already, but the
Stamboul colt is little dandy, never
theless. These two snowy youngsters
are the property of Mr.. J. w. Gardiner,
who, like the late ]. Morgan, has
"played the organ" to some purpose.
DEBUTANTs FROM CHINO.
Mr.. Richard Gird, owner of the ia
nous Chino ranch, purchased the stall
lion Wolsey, own brother to Suhol,
2:0SL, from Senator Stanford, at Palo
Alto. and from this fine young horsa he
has bred some of the ehowiest horses
ever seen here or elsewhere. About
year ago the horse strained himself
while at play in. his paddock, and
brought on a case of varicocele, which
led up to partial emasculation. He
has, so far, gotten some good colts, but
it is feared that his provocative powers
are at an end. One OF his progeny now
makes his appearance in Tom Story's
sulky, and q magnificent, rangy fellow
he is, golden chestnut, with fine
neck and very expressive face. 1t is a
great pity there are not more like him.
Here comes one of your favorites,"
exclaims Tom Griffin, as DR.. Williams
enters the gate, in cart drawn by
solid bay stallion, built as compactly as
old Justin Morgan himself, and yet con-
siderably over the average size.
"That's him-that'a Marlborough, and
a fine locker he is." This horse is one
OF the kind Of stations the New Eng
land horsemen like best; ribbed home
like an English pareon's cob, and
muscled inside the thighs like Texas
quarter-horse. His stroke is sort of
fortuitous combination of the low,
daisy-cutting action of the Sultans with
the vigorous knee action of the Hamble-
tonian blood on his s1re's side.
''wANT TO DRIVE YEARLINa 2"
asks Griffin, but politely decline the
invitation, as memories OF rides behind
Shot, Jim Barton, Latham and Young
America come back to me, veiled by the
mists Of receding years. Out he comes
with Zeus, b. G. by Mckinney, out of
Grace Kaiser, by Kaiser, 220O,
who is one of the very best
bred sons of George Wilkes,
the immortal. This colt is the old man
OF all the feet. He is scant Is months
old, but is as thoroughly trackwise and
as fully accustomed to sulky duty as
most 3-year-olds. His stable companion
is pretty bay FLY called Perfection,
and the title is far from being a mis-
nomer. She is by Count Simmons, and
can show quarters at a 2 :28 gait already,
but the big colt, who has never yet
trotted quarter inside of 40 seconds,
will be able to beat her very cleverly
next year Nor is Griffin alone in this
equine nursery discipline, for along
comes Vance with bay yearling FLY
by Alto Rex out of mare by Rustic.
She Is very showy, although he has
little one by Stamboul, ir., out of an
Anteeo mare. Just as I am admiring
her, up comes diminutive African into
the grand stand and says: "Please,
sab, Mr.. Ryan sends his compliments to
yer, and axes eff yer won't come over to
de house an hev some breckfuss wild de
family? 2" HIDALGo.
