consignment at the Indianapolis sale, and
which has been so greatly admired by
light harness connoisssurs. not only on &C
count of his impressive individuality, but
also on account of his rich breeding. Gy-
man is son of Red Medium. 2.23A, the
greatest extreme speed-producing son, for
age, of the celebrated Red Wilkes. His
dam. Fantasque. is full sister to the
worlds champion three and four-year-old

founder of another great family Of trot-

seems to blend kindly with all the great

tory in this country for the past thirty
years. Mr.. Turner recently purchased
Oak Spring stock farm. Alexandria coun-

way. At three years Gyman is sixteen
