Gently purchased of james II. keenc of
tho famous Castlcton Stud. Lexington,
Ky. the bay horse Glenwood. fonled 1898,
by st. Lconards, dam imp Glen Fairy,
by Forager. Glenwood figures as IL win
ner Of many races, having been placed
in tifty-ilve starts and holding tho truck
record at Hot Springs, Ark, for one and
onc-eighth miles in 1865. and at High

tho son Of st. Leonards beat such horses
! as Robert Waddel winner. OF the $4,000

| Mr.. Lewis is Il relative of the former
| well known Virginia gentlemen, and
breeder OF thoroughbreds. the Hon. John
( Minor Bolts, who bred the great race
/ horse and sire Revenue, his half-broth-
| ers. Commodore and Financier, and also
bred their dam, Rosalie Somers. thc
chestnut mare. foaled 1881, by Sir Charles.
dam Mischief. by Virginian.
Concerning his breeding venture. which
, is really source Of diversion rather than
| otherwise, from business cares, Mr..
| Lewis sends me an interesting comm1.ni-
! cation. from which I am publishing
| some extracts.
/ had intended sending yoi earlier
| n copy of my new horse, Glenwoods
| pedigree, which 1 enclose herewith. You
will notice quito n pronounced strength
| 80 the Bruce Lowe No. and No
| families. ! am thinking of giving him
| little chance on the local tracks next
season Din the falD. but i'll the spring l
expect t obreed him TO about twenty
mares, including my own
l got this horse in June, Just from the
st. Louis track. from Mr. James r.
| Keene He Is sixteen hands high and
| weighs upwards of eleven hundred. 1
have hunted him just a little. and he
takes very kindly to low fences. / hav-
ing avoided everything over three feet
| high.
Last week I bought from Major Foxhall
| A. Daingerfeld. manager of Castleton,
the three-year-old chestnut hlly, Nota.
by imp. Voter. out of Maurine. by imp
Mortemer. Nalirine has foaled eight
winners by seven different horses. and
my iilly is said to have quite turn of
speed. AS you know. all of the Voters
have speed, the son OF Friar's Balsam
being a whirlwind himself. Her Her
NIT blood through F'riar's Balsam should
give her the jumping instincts and later
on. when bred to Gienwood feel that
, that produce with double line of Hermit,
and many lines OF Stockwell and Touch
) stone. should give me something that
will be able to win between the flags
I have recently gotten another three
. year-old bay fiily. by Kasson, out OF
Voice. by Volante. which. when breG
, to Glenwood, would produce. with sever
stockwell six Touchstone, and two Her
NIT crosses.
The Votee FLY will be tried out in tbs
spring, maybe put on the local tracks
in the summer and fall. and hunted mex
, season. and probably bred in the spring
| of 1908.
9 shall breed nil my thoroughbred
5 mares to Glenwood with the exception
OF yota next spring.
