that part of the bill myself ana ae pending for the balance upon my sta
 ble boys and working trainers.
 Let me tell you and your reaaer
 something about Dreamwold' on tn'
 south shore of Massachusetts Bay, II
 the old town of Scituate, at point al
 most abreast the famous Minots s Light
 were a number of old fashioned Iaffns woodland and wild undergroWth' 1 tract of between four and hVe nun
 dred acres, cut in two by the Old GOT

 was at this spot, upon this tract, l de'
 cided to build what l hope in tune VII become one of the world-famous homes
 of mans, best friend. Many have asked why in the name of all sensible things
 I chose this wild spot for breeding farm, this spot, in preference 10 the
 world of beautiful blue grass with US
 all-ready-made farms in that section oi
 the country already famous for its
 horses, and everything that goes to
 make their breeding and training pleas-
 ure instead of work.
 I chose this spot because l wished to see if it were possible to make hundreds
 of acres of Kentucky grow on wild
 New England soil. thought it was; l
 still think to- day with Dreamwold al-
 most finished. I can do it. Time will
 tell. When l looked over this spot I
 said, q will put white fence, smooth
 and strong and prettily white, around
 this land, and inside of 1t l will put
 nothing but green grass and uniform
 two-story, -shingled buildings
 with green blinds and white trimmings, and here shall attempt to do what perhaps no one has done before-breed,

The motto of Dreamwold is to be Strength, Beau Y II beauty, and then, if possible, speed. l might drop just here that there will be no pacers at DreamWold. It is not gen. erally known that in building up my show stable I have worked to one end, to prove that the American trotting horse could be made to outstyle any other breed. My theory was that that courage and indonitable "getthere," which is evidenced by the thousands of American-bred horses each year, could. if properly trained. find vent in the high-stepping, arched neck and all-around, exuberant style. My success in the show ring, where I have beaten everybody's horses, proves [ was on the right track. Note my Glorious Bonnie, what a wonderful, heautiuful piece of mech anism as he prances around the show 'ing-not, not ''prances." flies; hack leys "prance," Bonnie files, but how ew when they look at him separate him rom the stylish hackney breed! Only asst month looked at his picture in the eliable ''Scribner's Monthly" l think t was-if 1t was not Scribners 1t was i he Century-and he had been chosen | rom four types as the ideal hackney. )ne of the others was the American ! rotter but Glorious Bonnie was labeled | The ideal hackney"
 I suppose it was impossible for the | writer of the article to comprehend that 1 | short time ago Glorious Bonnie was lying around the half-mile tracks of | he west in fast time as bread~win- ' Ter. long-tailed, out stretched neck, traight- backed, little American trot- ing flyer, and how many horsemen miled when I paid s4 900 for him, be- ause I believed his trot could be panl- ned back until it lifted his feet to his hin and arched his neck till it resem- led a. swans on a sunshiny July lorning. and the same with his pretty artner Glorious Bonnie. Few would ream as he went the rounds of the alf-mile tracks of Iowa that he would yer carry women and children at a Tewport show ring to delirious enthusi- Srn.
 I might go on until you would give le no more space on what the Ameri- an trotter can do, but I will stop and ct back to Dreamwold after just one ord more: We all know what the merican trotter can do for speed, but
 any one has any doubt what he can 0 for beauty and for style, let me re- lind him that l have in my stables at le present time at least twenty Amer an-bred trotting stock. short tail orses, any one of which can beat any ody's hose in the world in the show ng unless he is trotting bred, and at le same time I will not have show lrse in the stable that is not intelli- ant enough to be driven upon the city reets any day in the year in ordinary nd, by any of the grown members of y family. Really, is this not tre- endous statement to make and does it ,t show the possibilities of the Amer an trotter? Think of any one of my n or twelve stallions that bound into e show ring while all the fire and dash (
 high bred, young--for most of them e four to seven years old--stallion ( e, and then think that they are driven oh day upon the city streets by anna UT family drivers; and one word ore, and I will cease blowing the | 'rn of the grandest of all the grand imal kingdom, the American horse: sent Glorious Red Cloud into prob q 'ly the greatest horse show the world $ ever seen-at least show with the $ rgest number of nearly perfect car-Y age horses the world has ever seen 4 --------=- --------=- 1 '
