WALDO COUNTY HORSE NOTES.

A. NJ. Shibes at Knox station is the
owner of valuable young mare of high
breeding, that is soon due to foal by Simp-
son 227.
Owing to the sudden death of Wendell
Reynolds of Brooks, three high class horses
will be sold at once, beautiful 2-year-old
stallion weighing 1000 pounds by Marston
c. 2.l94, that has already shown 3-mnute
gait on the trOt, also a high class driving
horse and one brood mare.
Ernest Simpson of Brooks is said to have
a very promising colt, one year old this
spring, by Dawn Emperor, for which he
was offered 800 when a few weeks old.
Dawn Emperor, it will be remembered: is
the young stallion, four years old this
Day Dawn 2264, owned by l. Fl. Grant of
North Monroe. 1t is understood that there
are some other youngsters in the vicinity
by the same sire that are attracting atten-
ton.
Geo. R. Boulter of Knox has blood bay
stallion three years old this spring by Ped
lar 21sA, dam by Alectus by Alcantara.
This colt is standard and registered under
the name of Lednitf. He is good indi-
vidual standing about 16 hands and weigh
ing in his present form 1850 pounds. He
will be allowed to serve few mares this
young mare Miss Keene by Young Nelson,
by Nelson 200. Her dam was by Victor
Jr., by Victor, by Gen. Knox; second dam
Stella by Woodbrino This mare has been
raced a little, has mark of 2.34aa and has
been half mile in LII. She is now heavy
in foal to StilettO C.
Will Gerrish, the genial village black smith
at Unity, still has the good young stallion
Broomal Wilkes. Broomal Wilkes was by
BrOOmal 9. Is and his dam was Daisy Wilkes
by Mambrino Wilkes second dam by Judge
Advocate, and third dam by Gloster so his
breeding is alright. Individually he is a
large seal brown horse that stands 16 hands
and weighs from 1850 upwards. He is a
well finished horse that goes to the trot with
big, slashing gait, is endowed with per
feet disposition and is a first class using
horse. He has been quite largely patron
lied by the farmers and breeders of the vi
cinity the past two or three seasons and his
colts are said to be most likely lot to come
from this class of dams. Besides his stallion
Will always wants something else in the
horse line to play with and that will attract
little attention either for speed or breed
ing. He now has a Wilkes mare by Stan
ford, son of Red Wilkes dam by John F.
Phelps. She goes to the trot and if he keeps
her will be used for brood mare.

better still all good acting and good step
ping colts, that promise to make sweet
drivers. A better lot for their number that
have come up together in one stable is not
seen every day. He is now driving hand
some roam geding, five years old coming,
that is nice actor and the subject of con-
siderable favorable comment when seen on
the street. This ones dam was a mare
called Nelmont by Baymont Chief; second
dam Calais Girl, by Gideon. 11eis a stylish
locker that should be wanted at a handsome
price. Then there is a bay mare seven
years old, one of the several colts bred by
Mr.. Pillsbury from the mare Mammie by
Winthrop Morrill,, that is much on the Nor
gan type. She will weigh about 1000
pounds, is an elegant driver and looks like a
natural born roadster. The Tyre Birds
are handsome horses with good trotting ac-
ton, that make attractive drivers and we
should not be surprised if the old horse had
more than his usual amount of patronage
this season.-Turf, Farm and Home.
