Thomas Hamilton. Norrldgewoek
farmer. formerly Of Houlton. still has
the fast pacing mare, Rosaline
Wilkes 226A. BY Haley, son of Nell
son 209; dam. Bell Murchie by Ma
drid by George Wilkes. She Is very
fast brush mare. that at Houlton used
to head horses with low marks She
is now but ten years old and many
think that she Is capable of going in
2.2O In a race. But she is a nice
comfortable driver and Mr.. Hamilton
Is not particular about selling her.
Besides she ought to make valuable
one to breed from being a good look
err, standing 15A hands and weighing
100 pounds.
L. A. Witherell of Norridgewock,
has without doubt the youngest pro-
duce of a Winthrop Morrill, mare to
be found In the State. 1t Is four
year-old FLY of large size and good
form, the get of Claude Nelson, son of
Nelson zoo. Mr. Witherell still has
the dam, now 20 years old, hand
some mare by Gen. Knox. She Is
now hale and hearty, sound and
smooth, and has been a very fast road
mare in her day, but was never
tracked. Mr.. Witherell has owned
her since she was quite young and
has rode many fast miles behind her.
He could have taken handsome money
for her when In her prime, but she
has always been pet of his, with
which he never cared to part. In fact
when she was eight years he refused
an offer of $500 for her from the noted
Massachusetts horseman, c. w. Las
sell. AS a matter of curiosity Mr..
Witherell would like to learn If there
Is another daughter of Winthrop Nor
rill now living and IL so who has her.
Speaking of Mr.. Witherell reminds
us that he now has some well-bred
young stuff In his stable that promises
we'll, the produce of his good, light
roam brood mare by Gen. Withers.
The dam of this mare was by Gideon;
second dam by Daniel Boone. making
her closely inbred to Hambletonian
10. While her third dam was fast
road mare that came from Vermont
and said to have been by Daniel Lam
bert There is a nice styled chestnut
gelding, six years old by Vassar 2.07
He Is a square trotter, stands 15h
hands or better, has never been
worked on the track but can step fast
and Is a fine locker In the hitch. Eva
Vassar, a brown mare four years, own
sister to the gelding, shows u very
fast clip to the pace, acts we'll and 1t
would not be strange II she had the
making of a race mare. Lest but not
least comes Nancy. verv slick,
smooth looking filly, with fine but
strong limbs. Sho Is bv Malcolm
Forbes and bids fair to do credit to
her sire.
