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 a high
class OF roadsters or for extreme
speed. He is round barrel one, well
muscled all round with AN intelligent
head, fine disposition and gentle
epoug gh 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 for
service In our two counties, and from
his breeding he comes naturally by
liz. 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
he has excelled 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.: f.
NJ. Hanson, Foxall Stock Farm, Nor.

races.

he might have stepped that track In
2:15 il necessary. at Prospect Park
III saw him start away four open
lengths behind field of twelve, and
went out around the bunch oD the
turn. which carried him to the ex-
treme outside and when he got
, Strengthened into the back stretch,
Elroy 2:17s, the leading horse, was
well up towards the quarter post.
: White Tips over-hauled him inside
, the distance flag and nosed out In
9TH. consider that mile for him
was equal TO 2.14. He Is game level
headed horse, and in all the races l
= saw him trot he made but one break.
J With his natural speed and good
breeding he should make high class
