Trainer Burgess as ring master, the circus commenced. The young horses were led in and after a brief inspection were turned loose for trot around the outside of the track. In this way rapid fire of youngsters was kept up until we had an adequate idea of the extent of MT. Bulkley's breeding. The colts and Allies varied in age from six months to three years old and were all well bred. Others that we saw later were more advanced in age and old enough to race this year.
 Many persons who have heard horse- men quote pedigrees have often won dered how it is that horseman can correctly state the breeding of so many different horses and never make a mis- take. While we were watching the young trotters MT. Burgess gave us the pedigree in a very entertaining manner of each of them The premier at the farm and sire of majority of the young stock is Village Boy, na- hogany bay trotter of fine conforma- tion and sire of some of the fastest and most handsome stock on the place.
 His ancestors in the male or top line of his pedigree were Villiers 2:21 1-4 Norval 2:14 3-4, Electioneer. The dam of Village Boy was Honda, by Wedg- wood, by Belmont. The dam of Vil- Hers was Cathedral by George Wilkes, etc.
 Half Moon, by Village Boy, is a fine and fast young stallion that will be started in stake races this year. A full brother to Half Moon is a year younger. The two will make a hand some pair.
 One of the stars of MT. Bulkley's rac- ing stable last year was the bay more Nahma, 2:14 IA trotting We noticed her improvement when she was led out. MT. Bulkley recently had an offer of ten thousand dollars for her and could have sold her for a much larger amount, as the would-be purchaser 1 stated that he was willing to pay much more for the trotter She is bred like the good winner, Sadie Mac, 2;O6 IA, as both mares were sired by Peter the Great, 2:07 IA The dam of Nahma was by the celebrated Bingen, 2:06 IA. She is young yet, as she will be six this year. In the opinion of MT. Burgess, Nahma will win more honor in future, According to three reliable watches she trotted the last eighth of fifth heat in IA 1-2 seconds, which indicates that she can get a much faster mark
 The visitors were much pleased with a fine and strong bay gelding, trotter sired by Wilkes Boy, PA 1-2. l heard no name mentioned for the gelding, but presume he is "Creatore," He is one Of the last foals of his celebrated sire whc died in July, 1901. It is presumed that the young gelding and several other race horses with creditable records will be in the campaigning stable this year The brood mares are valuable and are not without interest They are kept in fine stable at considerable distance from the large barn. The pacer Little Miss, PIP IA, is a remark ably wellbred mare, now owned by MT. Bulkley and stabbed with his other brood mares. She is in foal to the large stallion, A. D. Mclean, a son oi Brick Wilkes, by Alcantara.
 Mir. Bulkley's stock numbers forty eight head-all of them so remarkably good that a visit and inspection of hiy horses is very enjoyable.
 That good fortune may attend Pro prietor Bulkley, Driver Burgess grooms and horses is the wish of
 R. R, PORTER.
