John and Fred Utton.

A week or two since we touched the
horse question a bit, and this week it
will be of interest to manyif wecOver
the magnificent stables which the
opening season finds in the hands of
John UttOu and lis son, Fred UttOn.
While the business is one, yet there
are two quite separate strings, or
stables. John Utton, one of the best
known and most successful Of the
pioneer trainers and drivers, is fa-
miliar to the horsey inclined public
throughout New England, and be
has a very worthy and apt student
and associate in the business in his
son, Fred E. Utton. Together they
have a complement of horses that
are a credit to any stable, and the
class of their patronage speaks we'll
for their ability as handlers of the
modern turf stock. We review some
of their horses, which will be added
to as the season advances.
In Johns string we fnd:-

John has found the fountain of

In the string handled by Fred

satisfy the most fastidious. First we

fast and is owned by III. FL. Peck Of
Waterbury, Conn.
The next is "Alrino," a four-year-
old stallion, a fast PAGER, by "Alcan-

lion" "Alrino" is owned by E. F.
Carpenter of Ramsey. N. j.
Next, the trotting mare, "Kate

looks as we'll as she trots, and low
cred mark is sure this season. She
was sired by "Orwell" and is owned
by II. ?. Monahan of Burlington.
"Halford," four-year-old stallion,
is very promising. He was sired by
"Haldane;" dam Cora c., the dam

Utton.
The stallion Baron Browne" is a
stylish fellow. His mark is 2:26h,
sire "Baron Wilkes" His colts show
frst-class parentage. He is owned

ing two-year-old by Baron Browne"
also owned by Mr.. Clarke.
A green one, by "Quartermaster,"
promising colt owned by Mr.. Peck
and a yearling by "Baron Browne"
complete the list in Fred's care at
present. He expects Others to cam
paign for the season, and the Utton
reputation will be fully sustained.
