In offering White Tips service to
the breeders of Eastern Shore Vir-
ginia, we feel confident that had we
the pick of Kentucky, we could not
have found horse more suitable for
our class OF 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 be is the do or die lion
hearted kind that be 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 os
any trotting stallion ever offered for
service in our two counties, and from
his breeding he comes naturally by
ir. We do not say it boastingly nor
do we expect it not to be lowered.
by no other horse get we expect
White Tips get out Of our improved
bred mares to excel him in speed as
be has exceled his ancestors.
This horse in his racing is very lit
tie known to the most OF breeders OF
Eastern Shore from the fact that his
races were off Shore, and for this rea-
son we publish below letter OF Mr. +.
VI. Hanson, Foxall Stock Farm, Nor.
folk. Va, who saw him in some OF his
races.
81 saw White Tips in all OF his races
in 1899, until he left Prospect Park,
Md. In bis race at Timonium he won
90 easily in 2:174 that it looked as II
he might have stepped that track ln
2:15 if necessary. AT Prospect Park
saw him start away four open
lengths behind a field of twelve, aud
went out around the bunch on the
turp. which carried him to the ex-
treme outside and when he got
strsightened into the back stretch,
EIroV 2:174, the leading horse, was
we'll up towards the quarter post.
White Tips over-hauled him inside
the distance flag and nosed out in
2174. consider that mile for him
was equal to 2:14. He is game level
headed horse, and in all the races
saw him trot he made but one break.
With his natural speed and good
breeding he should make high class
sire"
White Tips is big stallion with
about the same white marks as his
sire "Clay." stands about 15t hands
high and in conformation is between
Clay and Signet, will weigh about
1000 pounds, is well muscled and with
the most powerful hind quarters.
White Tips was eight years old be-
fore ever put into training, except In
amateur hands, and it took him only
two seasons to make his mark OF
2;174 by country trainer. AS sire
he had no opportunity and only
served a few mares in the neightor-
hood and those few are now valued,
Ind can't be bought at fair prices
He. like bis sire Clay" has stamped
the trot in his few gets. That shows
from first handling last season he had
no trouble in filling his book to u
class of mares that are considered
the best our country can afford.
This season he will make short
early one and be ready to start for
a new mark at harvest time.
Will stand for the Season 1901
at $25.00 to insure.
