Nsrtenhurst cost Mr.. Reed $12, 800 az

died at Oneouta on the 10Th OF Septem-

necessary for Mr.. Reed to look about him
for another stallion, and as the line OF
Blackjack stood at the head of the British
turf, through the get Of St. Simon, he
consulted me as to the purchase OF q
Blackjack horse. told him to go abroad
and buy any horse descended from Volt
ieeur, so long as he was not by st. Simon.
Nv reason for this was that believe St.
Simon to be female line horse, like King
Tom, the sire of st. 6imon's dam. King
Tom got but one winner of the St. Leger
against Stockwells six, yet he got three
winners Of the. Oaks to Stockwell's one.
St. Simon in six years got four winners
three years in getting three, and Macaroni
and Petrarch each got two in twelve years
Hence | must regard st. Simon female
line horse.
Mr.. Reed took my advice and bought
Duncombe, representative OF the Black
lock line, but got by Speculation, who won
the Goodwood Cup OF 1868, and sire OF the
Derby winner Seton. On the dams side
Duncombe is the best bred horse in the
United States save one--Meddler--ow owned
by Mr.. Forbes OF Boston. Meddler IL the
only horse on earth that has three Oaks
winners in consecutive generations and
America that has two. His third dam,
Songstress, won the Oaks OF 1852 and her
dam, Cyprian, won the same race in 1886.
Mr.. Reeds second stallion is dsrk
brown colt. called Darriwell, by
imported Darebin, out OF sister TO

OF Joe Daniels and four others included

Across the road from Mr.. Reeds place
is the well-known Rosendale farm OF Hon.
l.. j. Rose, whose fame as breeder OF
both trotting and galloping horses is as
wide as the continent. Mr.. Rose mas
twelve brood mares, all OF which were in
training up to late in April, 1894, and con-
seuuently not bred until May. Therefore
they are not due to foal until we'll along
in April They comprise daughters OF
Gano, Onondaga, Hanover, Hindoo, Eolus
and the English horse CharaXus. now
owned in Virginia by r. J; Hancock.
Mr.. Roses stations are Orizaba by imp.

and Nomad, by Wildidle out OF imp.

lions were bred by the late Senator Stan
ford at Palo Alto.
What l have written is mere begin
ning OF breeding in this section. Before
ten years more have gone over our head
we shall see dozen more such farms
located within forty miles of Los Angeles.
Il costs about $65 to winter race horse
a the East, and with the greatest care at
that, while here it does not average $5O
pcr head, in addition to which the young
horse is kept constantly growing. The
delightful winters of Southern CALIFORNIA
will tend to make her the Mecca OF all the
larger breeders. and that before another
decade has passed by.
