ways felt that the Willamette valley
had advantages especially adapted t,
the horse, and from the great collection
of finely ybred standard trotters anC
thorough Dreds that have located in ant
about sslim, II wbuid skeh ii ht thi.

quarters for the Horse" At the pres
ent time we have the following stand
ard and thoroughbred stations making
the season here, and If they receive the
patronage they deserve, the stock o.
horses in this part will be greatly i'm
proved.
"RockwoOd, 1897" owned by Messrs
Rely & Skiff, is a, horse that has al
ready shown bis speed and transmit
ting ability, he being the sire of many
noted horses as well. being renowned as
being the sire Of many valuable ma
irons. lockwood comes from grea,
parents, he being grandson of Happy
Medium, the sire of Nancy Hanks, 2:04,
and many others, bis dam being Mon.
tezuma, BY Abdallah, the sire of Gold
smith Maid and Others, 80 it will be
seen that he carries the blood of two
trotting queens, Goldsmith Maid, in
her day, and Nancy Hanks, at present.
lockwood is a dark bay with white
markings.
"Pilot Lemont," owned by Saml A.
Crowell, Is very handsome and prom.
ising young chestnut horse. He has a
q three-year old race record of 2:33 and
. fve-year old time record of &2la. He
comes from lone of the best families
being by Lemont, 1918, who is the son
of Blonde 2:l5 pacing and 2:24A trot-

mel by Mambrino (Duvals.) Pilot
IIemont's colts are silT youngsters as
yet, but they all show the qualities
that If properly cared for, go to make
the successful trotter, and we predict
brilliant future for him both in his fu-
ture trials of speed on the race course
as we'll as sire.
"Rosemon, ''5256,is owned by Messrs.
Cox & Bright. He is solid bright
bay with black markings and comes
from two Of the most noted strains ex.
tant. His sire was the great Belmont,
the father of Nutwoodl 2:lsf and many
others who have come into prominence
together with Nutwood, 18th ohthe
race track as well as sires. Rosemon's
dam is Sea Gull by Strathmore, another
great sire of trotters, and of the moth
ers of trotters. Roseman's dam Is also
the mother of River Bend 2:25a which
makes the two horses full brothers,
River Bend being also son of Bel
mont. Rosemon has q trotting race
record Of 2:80a but Is now being trained
at bis natural gait, the pace, and we
look for some fast work from him
this year. Rosemon's colts are all good
walkers and II properly trained and
cared for would undoubtedly trot fast.
"Holmdel No. $3.50" owned by Messrs
Claggett and Hatch, Is a handsoms,y
dark or seal brown horse with one
white hind foot and white star In his
forehead. He is trotter himself and

has two year old race record of 2.44f,
q three year old record Of 2.251 and his
recent record made last season is 2. ls4,
also made iu q race which he won.
His speed limit has not nearly been
reached, and II bis colts are like him
which they all give promise to be, they
will oil be tFotters. Holmdel'sr sire y
Hsrmss with record Of 2.27! and the
