question.

217k, by Red Wilkes by George
Wilkes. dam by Lord Duffern, 227A,
trotting. by Endymion, by Die
tator, is a valuable and promising
Fort Fairfield horse. He is a bay
gelding, PAGER, and as true and consist
ent a race horse as has been seen
for a long time. To the superb breed
ing given above may be added the fact
that he carries also good infusion
of the blood of Nelly Bright, by John
Bright, the famous great brood mare
whose colts Tom O'Haley, 2.24A, Jerry
D., 2.21. Lady Glen, 2.15, and Gerty
Glen, 2.19A, have given her renown.
Shamrock is a handsome, kind horse.
and is so desirable in many ways
that large figures for him have been
offered and refused. He may be given
a little brushing on the snow and ice
this winter, but probably not very
much, as he is too good a horse for
such work Shamrock's owner Is L.
r. Seeley, Fort Fairfield, the half own
er of the great race mare Rowen
Wilkes.
