The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1895-06-13

As was stated last week, Dell, the dam o
Kittie Bayard, 2:12l was sold to Mr. Walton
who bred e'latter, as being by Billy Green
10, 652, and he so believed until Kittie got he
record Of 2;l6i at Buffalo, N. Y, that week
when she won two races In 1928 fashior
(straight) and captured in Mr.. Hamlton'i
town and over the track which he owns, 81
much money that all eyes were turned towart
the little gray from Molly Stark county. Kit
Bayard trotted with six ounce shoes forward
and five behind. She wore no toe weights ant
no special harness. When she starts away a
the word she takes hold pretty strong, bu
doesn't pull bit after reaching the frs
turn.
At Chillicothe, o., in '92 shortly before sh,
broke the worlds record at Piqua, she wa,
nose and nose in the second heat of a hot rae,
over that fast kite in ana, trotting the las
half of that memorable mile in 1034, 2;O-
gait Kitty Bayard established the sterling
brood mare qualities Of all the Hiatoga mat
rons. Others possessing this warm Ohio blood
we're dams of 2:30 speed, but never before had
a daughter or descendant Of the old Scott horse
produced trotter with record below the
teens. Dell upon investigation made in '93
is bred as follows: She is by Billy Campbell
son of Billy Green, out of Lady Bird, dam oi
Black Wilkes, lp), 2:2ii, (by Ambassador by
Fowler's Hiotaga, son Of Hiatoga, 49s; third
dam, Lady Brook, by Wilkinson Belefounder
he by Medilps Bellefounder; fourth dam, the
Artillery mare 2:40 deaf mare bought by
the government in Kentucky, during the late
war and sold in Wheeling W, Va, at the close
of hostiities, in 1865. She was game trotter.
Fowler's Hiatoga was something Of a sire,
as Theodore Leggett, Hopedale Ohio, sold a
five year old gray gelding by him, in 1873 to a
Missouri horseman, after driving him a mile
at the pace in 2:28, with less than months
work, Bred as she is Dell couldn't help but
pace, which she has always done, but all of her
colts are trotters and there is much speculation
now among horsemen as to how fast the
progeny obtained by the forthcoming union
with the Red Wilkes stallion, Malcolm Wilkes,
to whom she has been booked to be bred, will
be. Hitherto she has been mated only with
sons of Pilot, Jr, the old time pacing sire,
Nutwood and Egbert. She has 4 year old
black gelding now, by Elbertie, 2:27l, who has
not yet had the best of opportunities to demon
strate his race horse quality, but it is reasona-
bly, certain that man of Mr.. Walton's expert
ence knows pretty near what he is about when
he examines the pedigree and the individuality
of a trotting sire; and he feels positive that in
the Inter Urban Farm horse he has found the
magic combination which, mated with Dell,
will produce something close to the even num-
Der speed. John r. Gentry, 2:032 by son of
Red Wilkes, already holds the stallion harness
record. Delps daughter has gone half of the
route in 2:07 time. There is logic in Mr.. Wal
toms argument.
NEWS oFTHE TRACK.
Mr.. Robinson gave the chestnut gelding,
Mack, his head and the Sewing machine"
horse with the spawned leg, paced to the half
in 1:151. But he is not always as good as this,
although it may be that Robinson's patient
mind and steady hand will yet bring him,
ere the season closes, to the 2:20 mark.
Patoche (p), the Hadley mare, reeled of
three miles in 2:35, the last being shade bet.

Siberia, the year old bay gelding that
George d. Saxton owned marched his first
mile of the season in $50 fat
Maud L., Pilot Boy and Atlantic Jr., had
merry race. 1t was close at the half, and some
thought that the mare from Massillon town
would be too much for both Of the geldings,
but after leaving the half the gray and the
black fell hard upon her neck and with des-
perate plunge, which she quickly saw was de-
void Of utility, the daughter Of Seaside gave it
up, and the two representatives of those Doble
sires, Pilot Medium and Atlantic, scorched
home so closely together that one blanket
would have covered them both, all the way TO
the wire. The record was liza for the final
half, and the heat couldn't be called, in all
honesty and fairness, anything but a dead
one.
Dwight Bunnell, farmerand breeder, of Mas
sllon was visitor at the new track on We'd
nesday.
The types made us say last week that Karl
K, of the Welty string, had made mile in
2:214, when in fact ii ought to have read 2:31l,
but it is pleasant to say that the little black, by
Prophet Wilkes, won't require more than thirty
days of preparing for mile in 2:25.
