The two leading trotting stations in
Europe at the present time are Shady
G. 2:10 IA and Gen. Watts 2:O6 ga as a
three-year-old. They met recently in a
race and after a battle royal Shady G..
won. Both of these horses have the
Morgan cross, Shady G. gets it through
his dam Banquet Queen by Banquet
whose dam Podie was a daughter of
Dame Pansy by Daniel Lambert. Gen.
Watts, the greatest three-year-old yet
out, getting his record of 2:O6 "a in his
three year-old form, has very strong
AXworthy, was by Axtell a son of
William L., whose second dam was by
American Star. The grand dam of AK
tell Bird Mitchell was by Mambrino
Royal, son of Mambrino Pilot, whose
dam was Juliet by Pilot, Jr. AK
worthy's dam is pretty near all Morgan,
90 9iIS vas W htllIuChN IllCe, SUI VI
Clerk Chief, whose second dam was
Mrs. Caudle, referred to last winter in
speaking of Ericsson whose dam she
was. His first name was Morgan and
we believe he got his record under that
name. AXworthy's dam Marguerite
was daughter of Young Daisy by
Stridaway, a son of Black Hawk Tel
egraph by Black Hawk. AXworthy
carries one thirty-second of Morgan
blood. See American Stallion Register,
Vol. l, page 1875. Gen. Watts dam
was Carpet, daughter of Wilton and
his dam was Alley, daughter of Lady
Griswoh by Flying Morgan.
We believe that the day is not very
far distant when the foreign buyers
will be coming to Vermont after a little
of the good old Black Hawk blood.
We noticed Hon. John w. Stewart
out one day this week stepping his
beautiful chestnut daughter of Allen by
Star Ethan. The boys don't all want
to tackle this mare for a brush down
the street for they will find that she
can step some. Allen 2:3O was one of
the finest individuals we ever saw and
quite a trotter in his day He went
West young but at that left some splen-
did mares in and about ST. Adams. 1t
was a great pity we could not have
kept him in Vermont. Mr.. L. O. Allen
shipped Hal r. 2:06 IA to Montreal
Monday where he will start in the Free
For-All this week Friday. As he is
beginning to get into pretty good rae
ing condition we expect him to give a
good account of himself and bring a
good proportion of the money to Addi-
son county Mr.. Allen has Mr. Bene-
dict driving for him, and as he is at
home among our Canadian friends we
know that the horse will be we'll driven
Mr.. Allen says they will start the fol-
lowing horses at our Addison Co. Fair
Hal K. 2:O6 IA in the Free For-All;
Blue Ribbon 2:l8 IA in PIG pace; Rose
Baker 2:44 1-2 in the 2:45 class locaI
horses, and the bay mare Mabel Hill
2:23 Ia in the 2:23 pace. Habel Hill is
the property of Messrs. Hanley anC
Whiting of Montpelier. Messrs. C. B.
Kendall & Son of Shoreham also have il
Mr.. Aliens stable the beautiful son OF
Roxy K, 2:20, which they call Chehalis
after his sire Chehalis 2:O4l-4. Che
halls will start in the Addison count,
race for green horses. Mr.. Frank Bis
settle is driving nice trotting mare by
Dan Allen and from a daughter o
Aristos. This mare is working aroun(
2:30 and will start in the 2:35 class ant
if this mare keeps right the boys will
have to step some in that race
Frank Bentley is working two nic
PAGERS, his own mare Kittie B. 2:2l l.
by Krempest, that he worked last yea
over poor half mile track. She vii
start in the 2:l9 pace and we think
good bit of that purse will stay in Mid
dlebury. He is also working a mic
mare belonging to Mr.. Harry Covert
she is by Leicester 2:l7 IA, and fror
National by Nominee, I'd dam Ami
Page, own sister to Aristos. This mar
starts in the Addison Co. race. As Han
ry says he is going to California in
couple of months, we expect some O
the money in that Addison county rae
will leave the state after all.
At the fair ground stables Messrs
Porter and Son have something fo
pretty near every race and they are a
looking WELL particularly Queens Cour
sci 2:25 l-2 She is nice racy lookin
bay mare by Kings Counsel and start
in the % pace. Kentucky Belle, brow
mare by Clinton Wilkes and owned b
Mr.. Erwin Piper of Middlebury, is look
ing strong and fit and will start in tn
80 pace. We hope Erwin will get the bi
