her, my lad, depend upon it shall not
forget ye-you or yours either"
1T WAS A GOOD RACE.
This ambiguous promise evidently de-
cided Archer. who thereupon went
away TO don the colors.
1t was a good race, and in other
hands than Archer's Big Jemima might
not have got into the first three. AS 1t
was the "Tinman" rode a magnificent
finish, and up went the mares num-
Der. Above all the hubbuh and the
shouting the voice of the delighted old
farmer could be heard cheering. He
skied his tile in the most approved
fashion, and was literally beaming
with good nature as he shook his jockey
by the hand.
Little 'un," ne said, you Jest done
II a pufiic treat: you rode 'er splendid.
Now, tell me, have We got a mother
an father livin'?"
A little puzzled, but with conscious
pride Freddie replied that he had.
VERY well, then" said the old man
with a burst, lest his prudence should
outweigh his liberallty in the hour of
triumph, this very night, afore even
the shops i'm the town closes, dang me
II / won't send the old people a pound
of the best green teal"
And he did.
A. NJ. b., in The Man of the World
We present to-day the first picture
ever taken, says the Boston Journal,
and the first ever printed of the filly
which claims the remarkable distino-
ton of having as sire the 2-year-old
champion trotter. Arion, and as dam
the mare which once held the fastest
record on the track. Nancy Hanks.
Foaled at the Forbes farm at Pom
kapog, April of this year, this filly
will have a future that will be watched
with the keenest interest by all breed
ers and horsemen generally.
THE DAM is NANCY HANKS.
The dam is the famous trottlng
champion, Nancy Hanks, 2:O4, and the
sire the equally noted Arion, 2:O7%-
a champion bred to a champion.
Like all of Arion's get, this filly is
strongly marked by her sire's individ-
uality. She is complete bay. barring
a white left hind heel. Although only
a month old. she is strong and active,
and unusually intelligent. A name has
not yet been selected for this famous
progeny.
1T COST MONEY.
To attain the foaling of this filly ].
Malcolm Forbes, the breeder, has
shown uneXampled courage. He paid
$125 900 for Arion in 1892, and between
$4,000 and $4,000 for the mare Nancy
Hanks. Arion was foaled March 13,
1889, at Palo Alto. Cal He won the 3
year-old trotting championship of the
world i'm 1891, with a record OF 2:10%
to a high-wheel sulky. a mark that has
never been beaten by any colt of that
class in the bicycle sulky.
He Is a son of Electioneer, who has
more 2:30 and 2:20 trotters among his
get than any other sire, and who has
been credited, among others. with Palo
Alto. once champion trotting stallion
Of the world, and Sunol. at one time
champion trotter of the world. At one
time or another Electioneer's get have
held all the trotting championships
from a yearling up.
Arion's dam, Manette. was by Nut
wood, the greatest living sire. and Sec
ond only to Electioneer I'm general re-
suits. Nutwood is a full brother of
Maud s., once trotting champion.
RETIRED QUEEN OF THE TURF.
Nancy Hanks, 1904. retired queen of
the trotting turf two years ago,
and is 10 years old. She Was never
beaten i'm a race, and, aside from the
first heat I'm the first race she ever trot-
ted, she never lost n heat. She made
her worlds record of 2:04 against time
at Terre Haute, Ind, Sept IS, 1892. She
is by Happy Medium, and he, like Elec-
tioneer. was a son of Hambletonian 10.
Nancy Hanks dam was Nancy Lee, by
Dictator. the full brother of Dexter.
champion OF the world years ago Die
tator was also sire of Jay Eye See,
champion for a day, and also OF Phal-
las, a champion trotting stallion. 1t
will be noted that Arion's sire, Nancy
Hanks sire, and Nancy Lee. dam of
Nancy Hanks are direct from Handle
tonian, and Nutwood, the sire of Ari-
on's dam, is also a descendant of Ham
bletonian,
A GREAT COMBINATION
Thus II will be seen that the breed
ing OF the famous FLY of Nancy Hanks
is a great combination of champions
with a great deal OF in-breeding OF
Hambletonian blood.
Mr.. Forbes filly should prove another
worlds champion, barring accident, II
breeding counts for aught. for no foal
has ever been born with such an in
heritance Of extreme speed.
