HOME OF CANACE AND SEVENS

TRALIAN STRAINS.
Imp. Creighton and Imp. Idalium
Well Representatives. Of the
Get of Imp. The
Judge.

The next big thoroughbred sale of any
Importance will be held on the nights of
Tuesday and Wednesday, December CT.
On that occasion Killip & Co. will sell
at their salesyards, Market street and
Van Ness avenue, the yearlngs con-
signed by Napa stock farm, the proper
ty of A. B. Spreckles. In all thirty-one
yearlings will be led into the ring. The
stations represented will be Creighton,
the Australian racehorse and sire; Ida
lium, brother to Sir Modred and Cheviot;
Eolo, son of Eolus and War Song; Gen
eral Miller, Lew Weir, Puryear D and
the stoutly bred English horse The
Judge.
This will be the second annual sale of
this model breeding establishment, and
taken as whole a grander looking lot
of individuals were never sent to the
market In the stud imp. Creighton is an
assured success. The past season his
fast but unlucky daughter Canace was
one of the sensations of the Western
turf. Starting thirty-six times she was
six times first, sixteen times second
(beaten noses and short heads by the
crack two-year-olds of the Chicago
track and six times third, Sevens, an
other of his daughters, even faster than
Canace, a winner in California, went
amiss before being able to show her
worth in the Middle West. Idalium's
most noted performer was Miss Pollard,
winner in two seasons of 5000. Lew
Weir got the shifty moneygetter Satyr,
winner of a number of races from good
ones; and Eolo, General Miller, Puryear
D and The Judge, bred as they are, will
assuredly make their success in the stud.
The latter is picture of the model stock
horse, and as the English blood infused
with that of American mares is SO much
sought after his sons and daughters
ought to be in demand
When some two weeks ago a visit was
paid to the establishment by a party of
horsemen it was difficult to tell which
superbly bred youngsters. Number one
on the catalogue, Abbieolo, daughter of
Eolo and Abbies T. was was. strilking Ely
sensible looking, with plenty of bone and
substance, and looks as If she would
fight every inch of the way yo
has plenty of daylight under him and
looks a money-getter. Bamboulia, No.
on the catalogue, much resembles the get
of imp. Brutus. Finely coupled, with
sturdy pair of shoulders and a bulldog
looking head, this youngster was intense
ly admired by the visitors.
Idalium-Annie Race, looks not unlike
Jingle Jingle, the shifty filly racing in
the colors of Jimmy Coffey, and had
many racy looking ways about her. Catu-
being the only Creighton of the sale. He
is a brown colt possessed of great bone
and substance, with fine quarters, deep
through the heart, and a set of legs to
stand on that look like pillars in the Hall
of Records building.
IF Florestine,' said Superintendent
Shafer, "can step as fast in races as she
can in the fields, she'll get some money"
This one is daughter of Eolo and Flor
ence B. Foligno, by imp Idalium, from
the Wildidle mare Folly, is better
locker" than her half-sister, Sevens The
latter was a natural born crackajack, and
only an accident kept her from taking the
measure of the cracks at Chicago.
No. IL in the catalogue, Fridalium by
eye and is an exact pattern of his sire.
Possessed of plenty of bone he is a trifie
lanky looking, but should later furnish
into good looking racehorse. Patricia,
own sister to the speedy Misty Morn, is
represented by racy looking flly, Ida
letta, by imp. Idalium. She is growthy
and there is no reason why she should
not prove a winner.
The son of Idalium and Maria F, latter
the dam of the star performer Baggage,
wears the odd name of Kickumbob. In
conformation and general looks he resem-
pies the game Cadmus, and if as good as
that many-time winner should be prize.
Lewzara, Idalium-imp. cara, is a partic-
uiarly pleasing looking piece of turf brio
a-brac. Large, with plenty of girth, she
will certainly make a hit when led into
the sales ring.
Militouche, so named, is a stylish, mill
tary,appearing chap, chestnut in color,
paddocks he can run away from his mates
and has back that ought to- some day
In the future, see him a crack timber
topper like his sire. Nemesis, a bay fiIly,
by The Judge from the flying Border Las
Sic, is blessed with fine shoulders and
hooks and quite as racy-looking as her
dam. And the latter was fast enough to
beat almost anybody's horse at times.
The great four-mile mare, the Austria
Ian blackbird Candid, is represented by
a; chestnut youngster, colt by Eolo.
Well set on stanch-looking underpinning,
he has an eye and hook nose that would
indicate him to be slayer. The first foal
Of Victory Pythia, a bay miss by Lew
vorite with, the farm hands. Tradalium,
brown colt by Idalium-Tragic, is one on
which Mr.. Shafer, the superintendent is
very sweet. With plenty of size, strong
shoulders and well coupled, he looks like
one that would have his number G.splayed
at the races.
Umaolo, the Eolo- Umatilla filly, is horse
all the. way through. A striking proto-
type of Sevens, she has square shoulders
not unlike trotter, broad bone, plenty of
fine locker" There will be plenty of bid
ding when No. II, Zanoni, daughter of
Lew Weir and Cattle Kate, is led into the
ring. This is an exceptionally we'll fur
stylish appearing, broad back, superb
head and neck, great depth through the
heart and rare good hooks, she looks the
ideal racer. To mention the others in the
catalogue would be merely a repetition of
what has been said of those criticized
above When Enoch Wishard, the astute
Eastern turfman of the firm of Duke e
Wishard, said, ri never saw finer bunch
of yearlings," he expressed all that can
be written in praise of them.
They can be inspected at the salesyard
on Monday, December s.
