Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1899-07-14
LYLE, 1871.

! Lyle 1871, race record, 2:194; pacing
public half mile in 1:02i over the
Sioux Falls track, a public half mile
in 1:044 over the Sioux City track, this
exhibition being the fastest time ever
made over that track at the time.
(See Wallace's Year Book of 1895,
Page 1927 You will see at Northwood,
Mimi, Sept. 18th, showing where
Lyle received his record, won the race
and showed his racing qualities by
defeating frankie c., with record Of
2:2O and Ben Allie with record of
2194, time of race 2:l9t, 2:2O and 2:23.
(ln same book, see page 35.) July 18th,
very early. Lyle was close second in
2:l6t, with 10 horses in race. (Now on
page 272.) Lyle was third in 2:l54 and
fourth in 2:15. Remember l do not
claim fraction Of a second less than
his record, which Wallace's Year
Book gives Lyle as I am satisfied Lyle
can go beat his mark whenever / ask
him to do so or go beat any stallion
owned and having bred half the
mares Lyle has in Cresco this season,
for the amusement of the public or
for money. AS to Lyle, he is not as
tall as some but as an individual Lyle
will out class them all. His produce

Oldest are only years old, except one
and are all such grand individuals,
of good size, and judging what
owners price them at and the offers
they receive for them, they will sell
higher than balloon. Lyle was never
used for stock horse before I owed
him. Lyle served 2 mares in 1895
while Mr.. Thayer had him, one proved
to be in foal and this colt is now
owned by Mr.. Macarthur, of Cresco,
for which he refused s250.0O. / can
only say this is the only 4-year-old
Lyle has and no 3-year-olds thus you
will see my assortment is very limited.
| am satisfied that had Lyle stood for
Is years in succession in CreScO he
would show you more just as good as
McArthur's colt which is large but
| fine, good style, nice looking and a
great actor his disposition is what
anyone would like, and as to his speed
it is well known he can out trot any
of the produce of any stallion having
made the season of 1899 at Cresco.
Speaking of PAGERS owned in
Howard county, what they sell for or
what price they could have been sold
at, l will mention below:
FLASK, owned by Mr.. w. Fitzgerald
who refused $4,000 at GAINESVILLE, Wis,
for him.
LYLE, Mr.. Thayer said he could
have sold him to the owners of stock
farm for 100000; this was at the
time he made the fast half mile at
Sioux Falls after 3 weeks of track
work and the papers call him the six
year old wonder.
BUcHER, Mr.. w. II. Alleman told
me he paid S500.O0 for him and could
have sold him at SS00.00.
Mind you these are what some
people call cheap hobbled PAGERS.
Here aresome more PAGERS owned or
were owned here:
NYArPH, d. o. Alleman went away
to buy her, paid $4,000.
Mr.. n. b. Wheeler sold his yearling
PAGER for $4,000, holds his horse at
$4,000 and stated to me he would not
take 1000 for the mare; these colts
are all by the fast hobbled PAGER,
Flask.
understand Mr.. Macarthur sold his
bay PAGER for 100000.
The trotters are all right but so are
the PAGERS, and you are liable to get a
PAGER from any standard trotting
bred stallion, and if you have good
common mare which is bred to Lyle,
you will get good, large, handsome
colt and a good individual.
Lyle not being able to complete his
book on account of the season being
later this year than usual, have con-
cluded to extend his service through
July and part of August to few good
| mares If Won have long legged
