Wilkes, 2:12; LaDue Woodford 4 years
old, 2:.6; Senator Wilkinson, 5 years
old 2:19; Kendota years old 2:25, and
% more in the $50 list. Lisburn's
first dam Flash, dam of Lockley
2:174), sired by Baymont, sire of Jor-
don Oil; Mogul, 2:16; Kathlin, 2:18,
and 10 others in the $50 list, and both
young sires. Very few sires can boast
as can Lisburn aud say my sire has
son with record of 900, the sire of
my dam is represented with a son
with a record of Oil, my dam has
produced one with record of 2:174,
besides several others younger that
are showing extreme speed.
Lisburn is possessed of as strong a
combination of speed producing blood
as any horse living, which q glance
at lis tabulated pedigree will show
which can be had on application, land
his performance rs race horse SO far
as he has been tested makes him as
good as his breeding. In the fall of
1895, after making the season in the
stud he was tracked a few days, and
put in the only race he ever started
in, and got his mark of 2:404, and
actually walked under the wire. He
can now with little preparation
show a2:1S!or 2:20 gait. He is 164 hands
high and weighs 1885 pounds, well
proportional, the best of legs, feet
and disposition.
1t would be hard TO find better
horse for the financial interest of
breeders to patronize than Lisburn,
as his produce are large, sound, great
knee and stitie action, and shows great
natural speed; they are destined to
make such horses as the markets de
lnand and that sell at paying prices.
Lisburn is q grandson of George
Wilkes, sired by the great Woodford
Wilkes, conceded by horse men to be
one of the best sons of George Wilkes.
Note the following facts: A granson Of
George Wilkes sold for more money
than any horse ever sold for in Ameri-
ca, $685. 1000. A half sister to Lisburn's
sire sold for more money than any
broodmare that ever passed under
the auctioneer's hammer that was a
So, 800 at Kitson's sale of trotters in
1888.
| The highest fee ever paid on the
services Of a trotting stallion was
81, 900 placed on Axtell, agrandson of
George Wilkes. The fastest two
horses ever bred by one breeder were
grandsons of George Wilkes, and nc
grandson of George Wilkes has any
better guarantee by the laws of in
heritance to sire extreme speed than
Lisburn. His value as sire lies in the
fact that he has the size, the one
most important quality, combined
with the speed producing qualities,
and is string type of horses that the
markets most demand. d. 0. Allie.

three weeks handling in her yeal

the other Two are just being broke
and show great promise in style and
speed.
Considering fhe stringency of the
times we have placed his services al

is extremely low for a horse of his
breeding and capacity. He has the
