taken,f their occupants by Trainer Stewart
and hs assistants. Some forty-eight horses
and clts have been wintered there this SEA
son, and the JOURNAL predicts that nun
Der ofthem will be heard from the coming
season. The list contains some remarkably
fine ytung horses which are sure to go in the
list. fu 1896. The leading stallion at the farm
/, Re- Hawk, with record of2.28 1-2. He
isanost worthy representative of the ia
NOUS Wilkes family, sired by Red Wilkes
let dim Judy, by Plato; End dam by
Loucls Kentucky whip; 3rd dam
Ira Hawkins mare by grandson of I'm
perial Messenger. Red Hawk was bred at
Westand, Lexington, Ky, and foal.d in
1884. As will be noticed, his dam Judy
was also the dam of Dictator Chief, one of
the best sires that ever stood in Maine.
During the season of 1894 number Of the
colts Of Red Hawk will be worked, and I'M
less all indications are deceptive, some Of
them are bound to make fast records.
One of the handsomest horses a. Pine
Grove is Dazzle by Dictator Chief; 1st
dam Toney by Hambletoni IN Chief End dam
Lady, by Gen. Knox; 3rd dam by Garibaldi.
Dazzle is beautifully proportional horse.
He is n Jet black in color, stands II ~
hands high, has a fine intelligent head and
beautiful action. He has record of 227-
10. He is, however, in the opinion of good
critics, capable of striking much faster
clip, and it would not be surpris-
ing il he made record of 220
before the close of 1894. Another
horse of fine proportions and spirited, reso-
lutte movement, i, Elmwood by Wedgwood;
dam by Daniel Lambert. This horse car
res himself beautifully ard has every in
dication OF speed. His service fee, SIS,
is exceedingly cheap.
There are number of beautiful sons of
the Great Nelson among the colts at Pine
Grove. One of these is Currier, dam
Lady West by Col. West, great, tall
two'year-old who gives promise of
making n fine horse. He is clean
limbed his action is free and spirited and
he gives every indication of speed. Indeed
it is said that he has struck some fast clips
with Trainer Stewart in trial spurs this
winter. There is much individuality about
this colt, and there is every reason to be-
leve that he will be heard from later on.
Another Of Nelson's get tina. will not fail
to attract the attention of visitors at Pine
Grove is Commodore Nelson, beautiful
bay colt foaled in 1898. This colt inherits,
too some great stains of blood from
his mother. His LIST dam is Iilda by Dicta-
tor Chief; md dam by Constellation; 3rd
dam by Gen. Knox; 18th dam by Spratt's
Morgan. Commodore Nelson gives great
promise and there is every reason to believe
that he will make fast record for himself
Frosty beautiful black filly foaled in
1891 is one of the most promising as well
as one of the best bred young horses
at the farm. She was sired by
Warrener; dam ley, by Nelson. She
Is beautifully gated and has already
given evidence in training of being very
speedy. She will be worked the coming
season, and is expected to make fast
record.
The string of Red Hawks colts at Pine
1rove includes, some very promising young
Sers. Alfrida bay filly is one of the best
Of these. She out of Alberta by Albino ,2nd
dam Nellie Morrill, by Winthrop Morrill,.
She is pure gated and stylish, and should
be able to make fast time this season.
Another of the most promising of Red
Hawks get is Ethel c., chestnut tilly
standing Il l-2 hands high, and foaled in
1880 dam Empress by Sterling. In the fall
OF 1898 Ethel c. trotted mile in 80
There is every reason to believe that she
viii make much faster record this year.
Nelson c. is promising son of Nelson out
OF dam by Emperor William.
Another fine colt is Helix by Brown
holfe, dam by Gen. Knox. Hiram T., a
handsome yearling by Red Hawk, dam
Afiei' Another fine acting colt is Night
