Farm the manager, Mr.. Stowe, showed us
some beautiful horses of all ages. First
the brood mares as follows: Caroline bay
mare by Daniel Lambert, dam Cleopatra
by Gen. Putnam by Rollo son IF Black
Hawk; I'd dam by Hsckett Horse son Of
Clifford Morgan. Caroline is of the true
Morgan type, and has been good pro-
among them being Julia by Denning
Allen; Flora Gates, Carrie Gates, Lillian
Gates, Helen, by Gen. Gates, all mares
of remarkable beauty, style and speed.
Caroline was looking fine and about to
foal to Gen. Gates and will be bred to
Vermont, described later in this article.
Next to Caroline was Coming Trotter
by Motion, 2:29; dam Fanny Sleight by
dam,Is t. b., by Harris Hamiltonian; this
mare has been q phenomenal producer,
having produced no less than II colts,
six Of which have been sold for good
money, one put into the band of brood
mares and is producing well, bidding
fair to rival her dam, two are the mares
Coming Beauty and Nocturne by Gen.
Gates that are used by Mr.. Battell for
his private driving team, and one
yearling colt by Victor that is trotting
wonder when turned loose in the yard.
The next mare shown was Maid of Or
leans, a powerful mare of great beauty
by Norris NJ. 225, by Molock 2:17, son
of Stranger, dam Bette Molock by Mo-
lock 2:17; I'd dam Beth by Beriah, son
of Fairy Gift $50; Sd dam Romula by
Bashaw Hambletonian, son of Romulus;
4th dam Rhoda by Radiator, son of Ro-
mulus This young mare has already
proven her excellence by producing the
promising young stallion Vermont, and
is heavy in foal to Gen. Gates. We look
for her to be one of the great brood
mares of Vermont.
The balance of the brood mares were
on the mountain and we did not see
them but we were shown the stations
old black horse by Gen. Gates, dam
Louise by Motion 2:29; I'd dam Alike
dam of Squirrel by Halls Young Amer
lea, son of Hoagland's Gray Messenger;
Sd dam Blonde dam of Blonde 2:2916)
by Abdallah; this horse has sub
stance and action in a remarkable de-
gree and should get speed of a high
order as well as practical general pur-
| Scotland oil
stallion is a sturdy fellow with legs
and feet capable of sustaining a horse
weighing 100 lbs, he carries the blood
of Black Hawk through Ethan Allen by
Highland Mary by Lambert Chief, son of
Daniel Lambert by Ethan Allen, and
through that great horse Highland Gray
by way of his Cd dam Jessie Benson by
Highland Gray 2:2si, by Darkey by The
Rounds Horse, son of Black Hawk.
| 1t will be seen at glance that this
horse inherits style, beauty. speed and
substance to great degree and as he has
been paced in the stud with Victor the
breeders of this section will have the
chance to breed to him at nominal fee,
we predict a successful future for him.
! Vermont a stable companion of Scotland
is 2-yr.-old stallion by Gen. Gates and
from Maid of Orleans mentioned above.
Vermont is great favorite of Mr. Stowe,
who says he is fast colt. 1t is hard to
find any fault with this fellow and he
ought to mature into very valuable
stock horse for this section or in fact any
section of the country. The individual
excellence of his dam should materially
enhance his value as a stock horse and
We expect to see him become great
stallion, we took ride after him short
time ago and he certainly carried us a
merry clip.
Of the yearlings shown, the bay FLY
Princess by Gen. Montgomery from Car
oline is one of the sweetest things l have
seen, for beauty, size, action, finish and
gait. She certainly is as good as anything
it has been my good fortune to see.
Skylark, black colt by Victor dam
Coming Trotter by Motion 2:29, I'd dam
Fanny Sleight by Ethan Allen, is
marvel for speed and it will pay anyone
to go out and see him step. New Eng
land is nice big bay colt by Gen. Mont
gomery, dam America by John
Blackstone, Jr., son of Blackstone,
and looks like the making of a nice
horse. Highland Morgan by Gen Mont
gomery, dam Belle by Highland Gray, is
good sized substantial colt with a nice
long neck, good head and style enough
to suit any one. He should develop into
