for sale. which he describes as Topsy,
CHI, IA h., 900 lbs, foaed 1902; got by
Trefren Horse, 3973 dam by Black Nor
gan 3D..
Mr. Fred Hammond, manager at The
fGovernment Farm, took us out to see the
stock the other day, and showed us lot
of beautiful horses in fine condition, of
course The stations "Gen. Gates" and
Red Oak were as usual on their good
behavior. Gen. Gates looks and acts like
a colt and looks one in the eve with an
intelligence almost human. 1t would be
hard to duplicate his face on stallion.
Red Oak is growing and maturing fast
and will be used to quite an extent the
coming season.
The brood mares are in fine condition;
the one that attracted us particularly
was Ellen beautiful CHI, 1919 hands,
strong made and elegant, by Rocky
Mountain, son of Motion, 900: dam,
5. t. b. by Young Benedict Morrill,, son
of Benedict Morrill, Next was a Morgan
type mare, Carrie Gates" a dark bay,
and a beauty, by Gen. Gates; dam Caro-
line, by Daniel Lambert; I'd dam, Cleo
patra, by Gen. Putnam, son of Rollo, by
Black Hawk; Sd dam by Hackett Horse,
son of Clifford Morgan. She is in foal to
Lambert B. Then came Marion Gates"
| Of ha etc hxy
General Gates; dam Coming Trotter by
Motion, 2:29, son of Daniel LAMBERT I'd
dam Fanny Sleight by Ethan Allen, son
of Black Hawk; Sd dam, s. t. b., by
Harris Hambletonian Marion has a
little foal only few days old by Lam
bert B., 1925 and it is little gentle
man with all the style Of the Lamberts
and the substance of the old-fashioned
Morgans. This fellow should be great
stock horse and fast one.
Babe" is a. ch. mare by Bob Morgan,
son of Ethan Allen I'd, and her dam is by
Golden. She is mare of substance and
style. Mr.. Hammond showed us a
black geding from her by Frank Allen
which shows her to be producer of
substantial, useful colts.
Lucy W., bay, 154, is fine type of a
mare by .Gillig, 2:93s dam, Lady Her
bert, by Waltham. Lady Herbert is the
dam of four in the list. Lucy w. is in
foal to Gen, Gates and we would like to
see her produce as we hope to do in due
time. Mrs. Culver "a kentucky saddle
bred mare. by Harrison Chief; dam by
Colemans. Eureka is fine mare of the
right sort, strong and beautifully made
all over, heavy in foal to Gen. Gates, and
expected to foal at any minute.
Mrs. Culver's dark bay or brown mare
II years old 1919 h., is another Ken
lucky saddler by Harrison Chief; dam by
Cabell's Lexington, is also a good mare
and heavy in foal by Gen. Gates.
Maggie, Morgan type CHI. mare, al
though nearly 90 years old. shows spirit
and style. She is III foal to Red Oak.
All of the above mares impressed us as
of the right kind on which to build the
reconstructed Morgan structure. Polly
B. is powerful brown mare by Gillig,
2:23l :, and although not of the true
Morgan type, she is a good mare and her
filly, Baby Gates, is little beauty and
has now the true form. And if Polly
will continue to throw this style of colts
she will be a decided addition to tn"
farm. Ianthe Kinds, a 15-year-o
daughter of Young Ethan Allen, dam
Twilight, by Daniel Lambert, is nice
turned bay mare and while not the ideal
Morgan type is great brood mare. Her
daughter, Alice Kinds, by Kinds Ethan
Allen, is certainly beautiful and fine
gated mare and full large enough, and
her daughter Bessie, by the saddler
Battle Axe, is also an elegant filly and
large as well as handsome.
The fillies were in remarkably fine
shape and particularly well hammered,
showing care in their management.
"Helen" CHI, years, is a beauty and in
show condition. Mr.. Hammond took us
out to the farm with her, and she was

dam Caroline, by Daniel Lambert; I'd

Rollo, by Black Hawk; Sd dam by

The three fillies that attracted me the
most were the three daughters of Ellen
viz, Ellen Gates, CHI, star, compac thy
built and trim, great roadster, good
going trotters and fast walkers. We
rode into town behind her
Her next sister, a large Symmetrical
black mare called Eleanor Gates, by
Gen. Gates. is surely a well made one
and good straigh: gated, and the littl,
