raising of fine horses. The stables and
graineries are large, comfortable and
se~rviceable; in fact, the entire plant
wears an aspect of prosperity. The
field paddocks, water arrangements,
shade and shelter are all admirable.
Within easy access of the training
barn is located a fve-eighths of a mile
track, where Mr.. Stengel gives his
young stars their first essons as race
horses. This track compares most ia
vorably at all times with any racing
plant in the country.
After much intelligent experimenting
with stations, the chestnut stud Axum
has been placed at the head of the
stud. He is a wonderfully pure-gaited
young horse and has a world of nat
ural speed IN the trot, but owing to
an unfortunate accident while running
out at the farm he has never been reg
ularly trained or raced. Previous to
being injured the steed demonstrated
on many occasions ability to beat 2.10.
He is an extremely handsome animal,
standing right at sixteen hands tail,
and in stud condition weighs upward
of 1,15O pounds. Axum is of a rich
dark chestnut, clean-cut all over, show
ing great quality and finish. He has 4
finely shaped head of exquisite contour
and a fine eye. To stand in front OF
him and look into his face there is so
much breeding, intelligence and beauty
displayed there that you feel in
stinctively, Here is a horse that one
may search a lifetime n never see
his like again" Axum was bred by
William Russell Allen, Pittsfield, Mass.
