In short, I4isburn has seven produ-
cling dams back Of him. He is con-
sidered by horsemen the equal of any
horse in breeding which his tabulat-
ed pedigree will show.
He is l6i hands high, weighs 1875
lbs, we'll proport Toned, the best of
legs aud feet, and the best of DISPOSE
tion. 1t would be hard to find u
better horse for the financial interest
of breeders to patronize than Lis
burn, as his produce are large, sound,
great knee and slille actors, and show
great natural speed. they arc des-
tincd TO make such horses as the
markets demand and that sell at pay
ing prices.
But few horses possess a stronger
combination. of speed producing
blood than Lisburn, aud his perfor,
nance as II race horse. so far as he
has been tested, makes him as good
as his pedigree. He never had any
track work until Cast July: he was
worked invent Weight days and could
show Il 2::25 gait. In his FIRST and only
start in n race ne got Il mark of 2.40d1
aud actually walked under the wire.
We think lie will trot in 2:2O with
sixty days handling. which we intend
giving him after short season in the
stud.
Lisburn 1906 is a grandson of
George Wilkes. Sired by the great
Woodford Wilkes. Conceded by
horsenlen to be one of the best sons
of George Wilkes.
Note the following facts: A grand
son of George Wilkes sold for more
money than any horse ever sold for
in America, 100000.
A half sister to Lisburn's sire sold
for more money than any brood mare

The fastest two, three, anud four

Sternberg 2;26i at two years the

And no grandson of George Wilkes
has any better guarantee by the laws
of inheritance to sire extreme speed
and individuality than Lisburn.
| We consider his chief value as a
sire lies in the fact that he has the
size and speed producing qualities
combined and is sireing u type of
| horses that the mark ct IS most demand.
The demand for his services is very
encouraging, especially by those who
have some of his get who are Already

pearance and either can show such q
gait us would throw credit to any sire

ready been offered $l25 for the 4-year-
old
Considering the. stringency of the
times we have placed his services at
$50 TO insure mare in foal, which is
extremely moderate for horse of
his breeding aud capacity. He has
the size, color, blood, fines, speed and
makeup desired in Il stock horse.
