Prince Almont, by Almont Medium seal,
by Notary FL Bauecia, by Alcyone Jerry
L., by Stonewall jackson; Jennie X, by
Phallas; Ira Gaines, by Allie Gaines, and
probably 100 more. Every one Of the above
were winners at the close of the season and
gave to their owners a good profit above ex-
penses. NO greater evidence that breeding
pays than n perusal of the above great list
OF western %trotters aud PAGERS, mostly
owned in Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and Me-
braska. / hope later to be able to give u
correct report of the gross and net winnings
OF every one of the above horses, together
with others which / have undoubtedly
omitted from the list.
Ever since the dissolution of the partner
ship OF Pyle & Briggs there has been a keen
desire among local horsemen TO know what
MIR. Briggs received on the division. That
he got his full share goes without saying.
Among the horses allotted to him was the
wonderful Atlantic, 2:l9, by Eagle Bird, and
that other grand fellow, Hurry Burly, 2;i0l,
by Rumor, dam Lucia, by jay Gould. Lucia
has six in the list. Briggs also got News
boy, 2:l29l, Katie Caffrey, 2:254, made to a
high wheeled sulky as a 3-year-old Eva, the
dam of Eddie Hayes; Mcfarland and Kate
McCaffrey, also the dam OF Charlie Boggs.
A weanling filly, dam Kate Caffrey, by AL
amito, is a treasure. Kate Caffrey won
eleven out of twelve starts as u 3-year-old,
and Atlantic won twelve out of thirteen
starts as n 3-year-old. So If there is any
thing special in rare breeding and tho early
performance of sire and dam this young one
should certainly be u stake winner. Briggs
has christened her Mesa. She is as graceful
as n bird, a rich roam, and if nothing befalls
her she Is due TO win a lot of money.
Next in Importance comes Montgomery,
by Anteros. first dam by Blue Bull; then
Fred =, with a yearling record of 2:45l5:
also Nellie Cobb, ~f'airywood and Il lot of
well bred brood mares and promising colts,
sixty-one head in all.
At present Mr.. Briggs horses are being
wintered on the Lincol tair grounds, Lincoln
Neb., under the personal supervision of
their owner and the careful management of
Dick Tilden, who will drive for Briggs this
season. Tilden is unquestionably the peer
of any reinsman in the west, reliable, COM
petent and Industrious, and as honest as
the sun Is bright. The stations will be
brought to the Council Bluffs track this
spring and stand there, and all of the cam
paigners trained there. Early this season
MIR. Briggs will secure a farm near this city
which will thereafter be the permanent
abiding place of his stock. He will have a
stable of ten or twelve in the circuit the
coming season.
Much interest is being shown throughout
the west in the trotting bredShorse sale that
will be held ut South Omaha in March. Man
age Short has had consignments pledged
from some of the most prominent breeders of
Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa anu Ne
braska, and the offsprings pledged comprise
the get of Autero, Red Wilkes, Nutwood,
Egotist, DirecJum, Charles Caffrey, Shade
land Onward, Summons, Sphinx, Winslow
Wilkes and other celebrated ones. The
management has received letters from a
great many prospective buyers, and the sale
will assuredlv be one in which the whole
state may take a justifable pride. The sale
is limited to 300 head and there are already
over 200 pledged, all well bred. Besides
these there will also be many fine roadsters
and saddlers sold and horsemen are giving
the coming event much attention.
