In Offering White Tips service to
the breeders of Eastern Shore Vir-
oipia. we feel confident that had we
the pick of Kentucky, we could not
have found horse more suitable Tor
our class or mares, either for high
class of roadsters or for extreme
speed. He is a round barrel one, well
muscled all round with an intelligent
head. fine disposition and gentle
enough for any lady to drive.
In his races he is the do or die lion
hearted kind that he is not beaten
until the wire is reached more than
once. We call him the champion
Eastern Shore trotter for the very
fact that his mark Is the fastest o:
any trotting stallion ever offered Tor
service in our two counties, ana Iron
his breeding he comes naturally py
it. We do not say it boastingly nor
do we expect 1t not to be lowered. II
