Farm, North Belfast, during the past
week was the birth of Il young colt by
Masconomo, 2.11M; it's dam Isabel D,
22O14, by Adbell %, 2.23. Isabel has
shown a great affection for some time
past for d white angora goat, which was
her stable companion and mascot. but
will no doubt now be displaced in the
mares affections by the new arrival.
We hope that this arrival will make a
cOlt-trotter, as his grand sire on both
sides Arion CD, 2.10A. and Adbell %,
2.223. hold the colt records of the world
today. This new colt is already en-
tered in $4,000 worth of stake races

A visit was made recently to the
stable of w. II. Hall of Dover, where
one is always sure to see several good
ones. Nassar, 2.01, the handsome pac
ing stallion which heads the string, IS
in fire condition and feeling as gay as
a colt. He will soon be taken to the
horseshoers and he will then receive a
little work that will get him in good
condition for the coming stud season.
Gilbert, the young jet black Percheron
stallion, whose registered number is
27,516, is having Il good spring and is
feeling we'll. At the Eastern Maine fair
last fall he took the first premium His
weight is between 100 and 1900
pounds and he will be four years old
next May. Last season he served 6S
mares, While 80 more We're turned
away. He will doubtless prove a valu-
able stock horse for those who want
heavy animal for draught purposes.
The proprietor has several of Vas
ser's colts that are attracting much at
tention from those interested in horses.
The most likely of the number seems to
be the Plummer colt. She will be three
years old next June, stands 1872 hands
high and weighs go pounds. Her dam
was by Blackwood Chief. A great flu
ture is predicted for her by good judges
of hOrset1esh. The chestnut colt.
known as Cotton, whose dam was by
Gloster. is another one of Nassar's
promising ones. Cotton weighs 92o
pounds and is 1872 hands high. Vassar,
Jr., the colt formerly owned by Fred
liibbdrd, has a strong resemblance to
its sire. and has good speed. He will
be three years old next July, stands
15-1 hands high and weighs 900 pounds.
He will be entered in some of the races
next summer unless sold before then
Mr.. Hall has two more colts by Vassar,
two and three years old, very fine
specimens of horseAesh and doubtless
are equally promising with the other
mentioned. There is being wintered at
the stables a fine Nassar sucking colt
owned by Allen A. Dinsmore.
