Charles Barnard. one of the best
known horse dealers in Boston, of late
years has been visiting several sections
of Maine where he has found good
ones. He thinks that on the whole
the Maine bred ones give fully as good
satisfaction as any that are brought

hardy. docile, wear well. and generally
improve greatly with the care and iced
that are given them by their new own
crs- Boston Globe.
:. :. Spratt of Carmel has sold Mark
Hanna. his one year-old colt of The
French Coach blood, to one of the
progressive farmers of Etna, who in
tends to keep him for stock purposes.
The price obtained was a good one, and
one that shows that it pays to raise
colts even now. Mr.. Spratt has another
one. a grandson of Nelson. 209h.. five
years old. Although perfectly green
he can lead the procession of green
ones down the street. His weight is
/ $50. and he stands IJ-2 Mr.. Spratt
has also traded his Nelson colt with
Albert Robinson Of that town for the
wcll-known gray PAGER Iodine. This Is
high blooded one and a coming horse.
Herman a. Ray of Dover. probably
has as good a lot of colts i'll his sta bic
as any man in PiscataquiS county and
he has one which would be very diff

are valuable. \ sister Of Lady Phal-
ton. he sold at two years OF age for
$500. He also sold brother called Jim
for $500. Lady Phalton is doubtless as
fast a green PAGER as stands in the
State of Maine. She will stand the

can go as fast as any man wants to

is d beautiful five year-old mare by
Mambrino Wilkes. She stands 10

This colt is merely broken and has
never been trained for speed. but she
has a gait that should sell her for i
large price or cause her to be Il win

choice is May r.. a two-year-old tilly
out of Lady Phalton. the first men
toned of this list and sired by BayIrd
Wilkes. This colt has Il gait that sur
pa Sses any Of this string at her age
and Development. She is a bay with
black points and should make Il re-
markable horse for speed.
