New Maine Breeding Establishment.

We are Just in receipt of a very graft
fying letter from Mr.. Kimball G. At
wood, the Maine bred New Yorker, who
is proving to be such a successful breed
er of good horses. He has recently pur-
chased large farm in Andover, and put
"a of his horses upon it, in charge OF
the well known trainer, VIM. Gregg.
1t is certainly the best kind OF good
news to know that Mr.. Atwood, who
never has anything but the best about
him, has established a permanent breed
ing establishment in his native state,
and has started in with quarter OF
hundred horses. At the rate he has
been breeding and purchasing OF late u
will take him but short time TO add
the other three quarters. Mr.. Atwood
writes that he intended to send us a list OF
his horses on that farm, but time faiied
him. Among the brood mares to De
found there are the fOllowing
Starletta 2.2lt, producer; Mellette
. "a IA, double producer; Claris Rose,
the half thoroughbred daughter OF Baron
Rose =. 20 IA, son of Stamboul 2.O7 l.2;
Lucinda, trotting record to wagon
:. .26 1-2, trial 2. Is to wagon; Prediction
by Curfew, son of Chimes out OF Tenny b:
by Kentucky Prince, and Northland
Queen by Quartermaster 2.21 IA, son OF
Alcyone.
This latter mare or filly, las she is
but four years of age,) is, as her name
implies, a queen. She is OF line size,
beautiful conformation, absolutely sound
aud fast as a ghost, as she has good
right to be. Her first dam Alejandri by
Dexter Prince has trotting race record
of 3. Is 81; her second dam was Princess
by Nutwood, and her third dam oy
Shenandoah, sire the dam of Venus,
dam of Sidney Dillon, sire of the world S
champion Lou Dillon. This mare,
Northland Queen, is in foal to Direct
2.O5 1-2, and is nursing at the present
time one of the graudest young studs
ever seen in Maine or anywhere else.
He is know as Northland Baron and was
sired by Oakland Baron 200 IA, the
great producing son of Baron wilkes
|2.lS. This colt is to be raised ana de-
veloped by William Gregg with view
to eventually standing him for service
in Oxford County.
They have weanlings and yearlings
from the mares above named, at An
dover, and some two-year-olds that nave
shown 20 speed trotting this year with
hut little handling. For three-year- olds
they have the young stallion Northland
Ajax by Axworthy, three-year-oldr record
of f2.15 1-2, he by Axtell with three.
year-old record of PIP. Ajax is out OF
the fast trotting mare Starletta 2.2l Il
and has himself three-year-old record
of 2.2S l-2 made this season, and has
shown in his work much faster than MS

brown, handsome, sound colt. AS a
COMPANION to this colt we have the beau
tiful black stud colt Northland arthur

he by Direct 2.05 1-2.
Northland Anna by Alcyoner 2,2O,
Princess Alice 2.16 by Dexter Prince;
second dam BY Gen. Mcclellan. North
land Arthur is three years old, of fine
size and conformation, and has shown
better than a 2.20 gait trotting this sea-
son. Among the Others is the mare
Northland Alice by Alcoyner 2.2O, out
of Claris Rose, now fouryears old. inns
mare has never started in race, ou'
has shown full mile in 2.2O IA TINS
season.
They have also Northland Carolyn by
Ouartermaster 2.2l IA, out of the Maine
bred Aubine 2.13 l-2 to pole. This mare
has been raced some this year, has beaten

gave a trotting record this year in .
winning race at Bethel in 2.26 1-2, and
lastly the magnificent son Of Nelson
90. Joe B. Nelson 2.13 1-2, race record
this year, and separately timed in a race
in 2.l0 ~. Joe B. Nelson's dam anc
granddam both have two in the ~
| list. If there is another son OF the
Northern King as fast and as well bred
sound and level headed as Joe B. Nelson
Mr.. Atwood says he has never seen OF
heard of him. He, with the colts above
referred to will be in the stud at Andovel
during the season of 1904, and it is need
less to say that the stud will be well al
| yertised in the Turf, Farm 4 Home.
| Mr.. Atwood will train next year a
least ten horses of great promise, and I,
they come up to expectations they VII
be extensively campaigned on New Eng
