wHITNEY's La BELLE FARM
Hamburg in Splendid Condition and
Active as a 2-Year-Old-

Lexington, Ky, March 27.-Au is
hustle and activity at W. c. Whitney,
La Belle stock farm, seven miles from
here ON the Frankfort pike, especially
around the stud barn, where the trio of
Whitney stations are now housed. With
Hamburg, imported Meddler and I-issak,
the New York millionaire has three stall
lions that would be the envy OF any
breeding establishment in the country.
Great interest naturally centers around
Hamburg as a new conner at the farm
and he receives the major part of atten-
with Meddler as to which can be con-
sidered the premier stallion at the farm.
In addition to the three stations Mr..
Whitney has about 10 brood mares on
the farm, which is given over entirely to
his stock.
Hamburg is in splendid condition, and
is as active as a 2-year-old. His step
IS springy and he exhibits as he walks
the strength of hook and headquarters
which bore him to so many victories
prOpOrtiOned, not yet showing the heaNl-
ness of neck and shoulder characteristic
Of the horse which has done stud duty.
He is bred to some of the choicest mares
on the place.
Ballyhoo. with a chestnut hlly foal by
Kingston at her side, full sister to the
F'uturity winner Ballyhoo Bey. has been
bred to Hamburg. Imported Isis by
Bend Or, out Of Shotover. for which Mr.
Whitney paid $500, has also been bred
to the son of Hanover-Lady Reel Her
self a Derby winner. she is by a Derby
winner and out of a Derby winner.
ShotOver being by Hermit is also by a
winner Of the Derby. Such mating
should produce a f0al Of the very highest
class. and it would be interesting to
know what a yearling by a $4,000 horse
out of a $500 mare would bring in the
sales ring
