Boswell" by "Almont' (StandarO,
purchased by King Kalakaua from
General Withers of Fairlawn Farm,
Lexington, Kentucky, and imported
sometime in the early sos, with a lot of
fine mares from the same farm, was
destroyed for glanders, and never had
a chance to make a record in the stud.
Boswell Jr.," dam Maud" is one of
his colts. Had Boswell not been de-
stroyed I feel sure that his colts would
have made their mark, as carriage
horses and roadsters.
While on a trip to California the late
Harry" Turton of Lahaina purchased
a thoroughbred grey stallion, Water
ford one of the first horses to race
on the old bay District" track of San
Francisco. Waterford was four
mile horse, and won many a race at
this distance, and thoroughly game.
The writer saw him run a two-mile
race at Kapiolani Park in the early
sos on three legs and win. Water
ford'' was the sire of "Perry's Wa
terford' dam a Laurel mare), one of
the fastest Hawaiian bred horses of his
day. The saying goes, that the most
Perry would ever wager on his horse,
though he generally won, was water
melon and a bottle of soda water. Un-
fortunately owing to poor management
and his being uncertain as foal get
ter. Waterford" had but very few
colts. He died at Parker Ranch, Ha-
waii, a few years ago.
One of the best stations imported to
this country was Governor Stanford"
(thoroughbred), named after the gen.
tleman who had bred him. He was
imported by the late Thomas Cummins.
Shortly after the arrival in the Islands
he was taken to Waimanalo Ranch,
Oahu, where in leading him out for ex-
ercise he escaped from the boy, and in
his mad career across country, fell and
broke his fore leg. He was put in a
sling, where he remained for something
like year, eventually recovering, hav-
ing a stiff leg for the remainder of his
life. None too much credit is due John
Cummins for the securing of this horse,
who has passed into the horse history
of these Islands, as a sire Of some of
the finest saddle and cattle horses, and
whose blood will always command a
premium.
The late James Campbell, another
gentleman who loved good horse, and
price never stood in the way of his buy
ing, if the animal suited, imported
.Shanandoah,' by "Shanon," he by
Monday" early in 1886. Shenandoah"
was bred by Lucky" Baldwin, and as
two-year old, ran a mile in 1.41. AS
a producer Shenandoah" was very
sure but judging from what the writer
has seen of his colts, they have tenn
pers of their own, though they make
good animals if handled at an early
age. Shenandoah" has a large num-
Der of serviceable horses to his credit.
One of the very few standard bred
stations, whose colts ever amounted
to much as saddle horses, was Baby
imported by the late Jules Richardson
and sold to James Campbell, when
Kahuku ranch, on Oahu, passed into
the latter's hands. The crossing of
'Shanandoah'' and Baby blood, has
produced good all round horses. "Ba-
by died in 1900 at Kahuku ranch,
Oahu.
"Kealia" by Norfolk" he by "Lex-
ington,' foaled 1881, was bred by the
late Governor Stanford at Palo Alto,
Cal. and imported by q. S. Spalding
of Kauai, very highly strung and
speed which qualities he impaired to
his get. ''Kealia'' died a few years
ago, but he has left his mark in such
horses as "Amarino,'' 'Amethyst,"
"Amaranth" and others. Nearly all
of ''Kealias" speedy colts are out of
thoroughbred mares. One other stall
lion owned by u. S. Spalding, who has
gone where all good horses have to go,
was Patrol by "Wildidle,"a four
mile horse. The colts he produced are
excellent saddle animals, having the
qualities of endurance and style.
Some time in the SOS two colts, bred
by Theo Winters. were brought to the
Islands by the late S. c. Bowley. One
was purchased by 9. w. Macfarlane,
and named Garfield" the other by
the late G. Markham, and christened
Hancock" Neither of these animals
did much in the stud, but what few
colts they did produce were very good.
Garfield" died in Kona, Hawaii, and
Hancock at Waimea, Hawaii.
With these two stations, ends the
list Gas far as the writer can ascer-
