Satee-year-old filly by Broomal; dam
MISS Also by Also. This FLY is a bay
III color. OF good size and has plenty of
speed and action. She will make an
laeai gentleman's driver, even if she
does not develop speed enough to
make her one of the trotters.

11ne matched pair; both are by Lyre
blra, out OF Knox mares. They are a

drlvlng purposes as one would care to
have.

and weighs 900 pounds, but in spite of
her small size is fine roadster and a

handsome pair of mares three years old

They are grey in color and stand 16
hands high, weighing 100 pounds
They are well mated pair and we'll
built and are going to make as fine a
pair OF work horses as is generally seen
for they have the fire and nerve of the
Maine bred horse and the size of the
Western horSe-a combination that
cannot fail to win.
Thomas S. keene of Thorndike, one
of the sterling old horsemen Of that
place, has at the present time only one
left Of his good ones. This one is a
PAGER, by son of Nelson; dam Knox
mare. This horse is handsome little
bay gelding, standing 1872 hands high
and weighing 975 pounds. He is very

take good one to beat him. Mr.. Keene
is a great lover of good horses and is
planning to get two or three more be-
fore the winter is over.

one of the handsomest and largest fillies

hands high and weighs 1900 pounds
She was by Gimach; dam Pompeii
mare. This filly is perfectly smooth,
well made, round as dollar and hand
some as a picture. She is of the type
we like to see on the farms, for she is
sure to be good for farm work and the
man who owns her is not out all she
has cost him because she hasn't speed
Mr.. West Woods of Unity has four
year-old mare, an own sister to r. A. S.
This mare is very fast and may be
is she will probably land in fast COM
pany. She stands i5-3 hands high and
weighs 1850 pounds, is a black i'll color
and is surely good one. Mr.. Woods
also has weanling tilly by Broomal
Wilkes; dam Kentucky bred mare

at the Unity fair over a large field. Mr.
Woods says she is the best one he ever
owned and he has had quite number
of good ones in times past.

good colts that he is breaking this win
ter; all are yearllngs and are looking
well. One is a bay gelding by Eldorado;
dam a Knox mare. This colt is snap
Ply and high headed little fellow and is
going to make handsome horse unless
signs fail; another is filly, also bay in
color, by Purist: dam untraced. This
tilly is also good one, being particu-
larry good gated and giving evidence
of being fast. The third is black filly
by Stanley; dam a Western mare. This
filly is quite large, as was to be expected
from her breeding and looks like the
beginning of large and handsome
mare.

Rolfe: dam Knox mare. This mare
he uses as a brood mare and she is a
good one, weighing about 1850 pounds
