Patchen Wilkes Will Hereafter Stand

The sen ding OF Patchen Wilkes tc
the famous pacing nursery, Ewell

from the fact that the fastest PAGER in
the world was sired by his great pac-
ing son, Joe Patchen. says the HoIs
World. In Tennessee Patchen Wilkes
will be mated with mares of the
famous Hal pacing family, and it will
be interesting to watch the outcome.

into the best trotting blood that has
been characterized by the production
of speed at the pace with good results.

son of Sidney (2:174), has been very
successful on the pacing bred mares of

Patchen Wilkes to their State Tennes-

family that gave to the pacing turf tho

With this profuse introduction of
trotting blood, however. Tennessee
may lose its reputation as being the
home of pacingbreed of horses tor
there is little doubt hut that the toals
from the Hal mares and by the tIotting
bred horses mentioned will include
many that will take the trotting gait.
