From the Annita stud. the property of
Mr.. A d. Payne, Charlottesville. va,
1he information reaches me that the stall
Mons. brood-marcs and yearlings at the
farm have wintered nicely ana all Oh
them are doing well. Imp. Water Level,
the English-bed son of 1sonomy and
Water Lily. by Lord Lyon. heads the es-
Establishment, while his stud companions
are jan Gray, stoutly-made brown
horse. by Ten Brock, out of Alice Gray,
rull sister TO Mamie Gray, dam OF the
great money-winncr Domino, and Lin
sey Woolscy, the brother Of Knight Ell
lerslic son Of EoluS and Lizzie HAZE
wood, Scathelock. Water Level. though
young in the stud, has sired the good
winner Water Crest, his fun brother,
Water House, Booker Burns and Isolde,
while from the loins Of Jim Gray have
come money winners, such as GraylinE,
Gray Eclipse, Frank Griffith, Hardy C.,
etc. Linsey Woolsey is young and UNI
tried, but being full brother TO the sire
of the peerless Henry Of Navarro and
other race horses of high-class, he should
sire winners, as have all the sons OF to-
lus that have been given chance In the
stud. There are twenty-five well-bred
a,alf dozen choice daughters OF Eoius, IN
cludin, Nigilette dam of the good race
horses Artillery and GraylinS. The l9v9
crop OF ycarlinEs at Annita is about the
best yet turned out by the farm, While
there are a greater number OF Them
Probably the choicest of the lot is a bay
colt, full brother to Grayltng, which Mr..
Payne thinks is the best individual Vigil
lette has ever produced. The bay dilly
1,1- q Ip11f the 1iOlnS
Countcrbreezc, has fine size and is Tacy
looking, as is the brown hlly, full sister
to Water Crest and Water House. by
imp. Water Level, out of Miss House.
The hay colt, by Jim Gray, out Of Miss
House. is 4 grand hooking specimen and
should develop into stake winner: an
other good locker is the bay colt by Jim
Gray. out OF Julial, as Is a bay colt by
the same sire, out of Lady Bellevue. by
imp. Rossington. The racy looking colt
by Jim Gray, out of Ieola, carries the
coalL!1lack coat OF his dam, a full sister
to the fine brood-mare Nigilette, dam OF
Artillery and Crawling. The chestnut
FLY, by Castaway H., out of Edmonla,
by Eolus, is bloodlike and clean-cut in
appearance, as is the bay colt, by Water
Level, out Of Carronde. and the bay filly,
by that son of dsonomy, out of Sar1na,
by imp. Muscovy.
