The most fortunate man known in con-
nection with trotting is probably c. W.
Williams, of Galesburg, Ills. Indeed a
good many people would say he was so
beyond any question. Thirteen years ago
Mr. Williams was a telegraph operator
in the embryo city since known all over
the country as Ind speLGence, Ia, knowl-
edge gained almost entirely, it may
be said, through Mr.. Williams connection
with the town. AT that time he was in
duced to purchase two trotting bred
mares. one named Lou and the other
Gussie Wilkes. One of these he bred to
aybirI, a son of George Wilkes, and the
other to William L. also by Ceorg
Wilkes. Neither Of these sires was at all
well known at that time. so it was either
exceedingly great fortune or else remark
ably sound Judgment THAT prompted Mr..
Williams to make the selection, for the
colt foal from Gussie Wilkes was Aller-
ton, and the colt from Lou was Axtel1.
The colts were early developed by their
owner, and both gave promise of gr 1t
speed. Axtell was undoubtedly the ear
lier developer. for at years Of age he
trotted to a record of PIP and was looked
upon as the wonder Of the trotting world
at that time. Mr. Williams for some
time prior to This record breaking achieve
merit had been Geluged with offers for
Axtell. Among others was the wen
known Mr. John w. Conles-, of Chicago,
ore of the best judges OF trotting horses
to be found anywhere. At the Washing
ton park meeting in Chicago, in 1889, Mn.
