Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1896-04-14
SEASON OF 1895.

A horse that produces what the
markets most demand. Fine drivers
having size, good looks, plenty of
knee and stifle action. and good style.
Such a horse is
Lisburn, 1906, Rec. 2:4Ol.
Lisburn, bay horse, foaled 1899:
Jennie Wilkes, 2:12; LaDue's Wood
ford, four years old, 2:16; L. L. D.,
2:15; Senator Wilkinson, 5-year-old,
2:l9; ,Kendotta, 3-year-old, 1928, and
more in the $50 list.
Lisburn's first dam, Flash, by Bay
mont, sire of Jordan, Gil; Mogul, 2:l6;
Kathleen, 2:1S; and ten others in the
$50 list, and both young sires.
In short, Lisburn 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 161 hands high, weighs 1875
legs and feet, and the best of disposi-
ton. 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 stifie actors, and show
great natural speed. Tney are des-
tined to make such horses ss the
markets demand and that sell at pay
ing prices.
But few horses possess a stronger
combination of speed producing
blood than Lisburn, and his perfor-
nance as u race horse, so far as he
has been tested, makes him as good
as his pedigree. He never had any
track work until last July; he was
worked twenty-eight days and could
show 2:25 gait. In his first and only
start in race he got a mark of 2:4044
and actually walked under the wire.
We think he will trot in 800 with
sixty days handling. which we intend
giving him after short season in the
stud.
Lisburn 120S6 is a grandson of
George Wilkes. Sired by the great
Woodford Wilkes. Conceded by
! horsemen 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 ihorse ever sold for
in America, 100000.
A half sister to Lisburn's sire sold
for more money than any brood mare
that ever passed under the Auc-
tioneer's hammer that was a breeder
at the time. She bringing $500 at
Kittson's Sale of trotters in 1885,
The highest fee ever put on the SER
vices of trotting stallion was $1,000
placed on Axtell grandson of
George Wilkes.
The fastest two, three, anud four
year old Stallion records are all held
by grandson's of George Wilkes.

one breeder are grandsons of George
Wilkes.
| Sternberg 2:284 at two years the
largest winning two year old on the
trotring turf is a grandson of George
Wilkes.
And no grandson of George Wilkes
has any better guarantee by the laws
of Inheritance to sire extreme speed
and individuality than Lisburn.
1 We consider his chief value as q
sire lies in the fact that he has the
size and speed producing qualities
combined and is sireing a type OF
horses that the markets most demand.
The demand for his services is very
encouraging, especially by those who
have some of his get who are already
using him. We have a pair of his get
coming and 4; they are large very,
SyIuiuetTlCdl Atlu SuyllS III dp-
pearance and either can show such a
gait as would throw credit to any sire
as producer of speed. We have al
ready been offered 1926 for the 4-year
old.
Considering the stringency of the
times we have placed his services al
SIS to insure a mare in foal, which is
extremely moderate for u horse OF
his breeding and capacity. He has
the size, color, blood, lines, speed and
makeup desired in a stock horse.
