The Pearl Brook Farm String.
I From Turf, Farm and Home.

From Turf, Farm and Home.
Last week we noticed some of the
horses at Pearl Brook farm, owned by
Mr. NJ. B. Smith of Hartford, Conn,
but We're not able to mention them all.
The string is headed by the we'll known
stallion Marston c., 2.19, three years
old, by Piedmont 219; dam Maiden,
223, by Electioneer; weighs 1850 lbs.
stands Is hands and can brush two
minute gait. This is great horse and
is getting some very high class colts.
They also have in the stud the elegant
stallion Directum Poster, by Directum,
dam by Gen. Washington. This colt is
only three years old, stands 1913 and
weighs 1885 lbs; can step fast on the
trot and is desirable horse to breed to.
A very handsome colt on this farm is
the three year old thoroughbred stall
lion Handunder, by the great sire
Hindoo, sire of Handspring, etc. This
colt is golden chestnut; stands 1872 1-2
and weighs 1000 lbs; has a trial mile in
1.4l and is as clean and racy looking as
greyhound. Mr.. Smith uses him as a
pacemaker and will also breed him to
some of his best mares and see how the
thoroughbred cross close up will work.
A yearling filly by Masconomo, ZIG IA,
dam Lady Archer, is a clean looking
colt with lots of grit. The star of the
lot is two year old tilly by Masconomo,
2.16 IA; dam Fannie Delmar, 2.29 IA.
This is a clean, breedy looking colt and
already acts like a trotter; is good sized,
a solid color and i'll every way a high
class filly. A two year old by Directum,
dam by Gen. Washington, is as fast a
colt as there is in Maine considering
the handling she has had. Mr.. Leman,
the farm trainer, says she is the fast
est colt at her age he ever handled: and
as she is well bred, good gated good
headed, and has the right disposition,
she will be hard nut to crack in the
colt stakes next season. This colt will
have very careful wintering and next
season will be entered in all the colt
stakes. A yearling filly by Directly,
dam Gold Leaf, 2.11, by Gold Fern, is a
sweet little miss; bay with the incest
feet and legs, altogether very promis-
ing tilly A yearling filly by Masco-
mono, 2.16 IA, dam Orc Drew, trial
2.20, by Orc Wilkes, 2.1l, is fine large
colt. These horses are trained by Mr..
Ed. Leman, man who is very thorough
in his work and when he gets through
with colt it is educated to the fullest
extent of the word. The horses men
toned are only small part of the
horses owned by Mr.. Smith, as he has
20 or more on another farm that we did
not see. We can truthfully say, how
ever, that it would be hard for farms
with wider regulations to show bet
ter lot of colts, and as for breeding
there are none any better bred than the
colts owned on this farm. A four year
old was sold at the Old Glory sale for
$3.50, which was not bad for an un-
trained colt.
MI. Herbert Smith of Belfast has two
good colts. A yearling by Marston c.,
2l9; dam Nellie Broadway, 2.34, is a
good colt and quite trOtter now. Then
he has weanling by Masconomo, 2.164;
dam Lady Nelson by Nelsonee 2.299.
Mr.. II. E. Staples, Brooks, has fine
colt by Columbo; dam by Pure Wilkes,
Broomal WILKES oy Broomal, 2.15:
dam, Daisy Wilkes by Mambrino
Wilkes; LIST dam by Judge Advocate,
md dam by Gloster, Sd dam by Brown
Harry, is an exceedingly fine stallion
owned by w. A. Gerrish, Unity. This
horse stands 16 hands, weighs 1925 lbs;
seal brown in color, very nicely built;
in fact, it would be hard to change him
in any way He goes on the trot with
good action and can brush a % gait
We saw number of yearling colts by
ltlis horse and they were all good size
good gated and uniform in color.
Mr. Gerrish also has fast brush
horse by King Mac, by Mambrino
King; dam a thoroughbred mare, that
is a very handsome horse to look at and
can step do"n the street as fast as most
people care to ride.
". g. Preston, Belfast. has a good
mare by Wilkesmont, 2.204, dam by
Ledo, End dam by Black Diamond, dan
OF Haroldson, 2.194, grand dam OF
Wilhesmont, 2.204. Mr.. Preston vii
breed her to some good horse and she
should produce something good.
Mr.. Frank Mussey, Unity, has nice
tilly by Emperor Wilkes, 2.204; dam by
Dictator Chief, 2nd dam the dam of
Ned Wilkes, 2094. This colt is an
image Of his sire and is very promis.
