The well-known stallion, Orwell, has re-
Gently come to town for the season. This
standardized Lambert Hambletonian stall
lion is the property of Charles ID. Williams,
who bought the General Thomas farm here
last year. Orwellis now nine years old black
as a coal in color, stands sixteen hands
high, and weighs 1,13O pounds. He re-
ceives strong trotting inheritance from both
sire and dam. From his sire, Ben Frank
lin, he gets the blood of Daniel Lambert
and through his dam, the Fish mare, he
goes to Hambetonian TO- the fountain-head
of the trotting horse of America; also to the
Clays, through Long Island Black Hawk.
In 1892, Orwell made record of 2: "A at
| White River Junction, winning eight
straight races. Through an accident to his
ankle, he will be taken out of the trotting
course for the present and used for breed
ing purposes. Mr.. Williams is an expert
authority in matters of the turf, and thor
oughly experienced in the training and
treatment of horses. He was manager OF
Howard Park three years, has had charge
of the stables of DR.. Webb LeGrand b
| Cannon and others, and il well known
throughout the state. He has now settled
down upon one of the finest farms in Orange
county, containing $50 acres, and its situation
is especially attractive, commanding, as il
does, magnificent view OF the surrounding
country for many miles.
