Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1909-03-12

We had the pleasure of looking over
the horses in the stables of Trainer John
w. Porter this week and found fourteen
head of various ages and records. Some
of them old friends that Mr.. Porter has
shown us before and raced for several
seasons past Queens Counsel and John
Carson are two of these and are both the
property of Mr.. R. F. Mckee of Rich
mond, P. O., Canada. John Carson is
trotter with mark that Mr.. Porter gave
him of 1924 He has always been a
mixed gated horse and Mr.. Porter is
now working him at the pacing gait at
which he expects him to take low
mark. Queens Counsel is looking better
than we have ever seen her. She surely
looks the racer all over. At Hague
few weeks ago she stepped half in a
race In 1;o7, which is a pretty good clip
over ice. She is by Kings Counsel, son
OF Mambrno King, and her dam was by
Sobol. This daughter of Sobol is also
the dam of Baby Ingalls,, 1928. This is
pretty good breeding. Mambrino King
got 81 trotters and 10 PAGERS, also IS sires
and S5 dams.
After these Mr.. Porter showed us in
the following order: Donwood, 2254, a
white trotter, who got his mark along
back in 1900 He is from an unknown
dam and sired by VernwOod. He is
owned by Mr.. c. G.. Whitney of Ticon-
deroga, n. y. This horse acts like colt
and Mr.. Porter thinks he will do some
thing for them the coming season.
Lilly Lane, 2:234, is brown mare, pro-
perty of Mr.. Walter Porter, son of John
w. Porter. She is supposed to be in foal
to Owen Dunmore, 2:2l9 and should pro-
duce something good as she is very
strong mare
Young Autograph CHI. h., by Auto
graph dam Daisy Jaquith, by Aristos,
2:27a; I'd dam Willful, by Col. Moulton,
son of Daniel Lambert; Sd dam Monona,
s. t. b. by American Star. This horse
and his son GRAPHIC, a chestnut horse
y
substantial pair of stations of the Ham
bletonian Morgan combination. They
are the property of Mr.. Stone of New
Hampshire, and Mr.. Porter expects to
stand them at his stables the coming sea
son.
A very promising green PAGER by
Edison Allen, ANA, dam by Thomas, A.
son OF Sciota that Mr.. Porter expects to
start in the green classes is Domino. He
is big black gelding and owned by Mr.
Thomas Billiard. Edison Allen has one
trotter and one PAGER in the list and
trainer Porter expects to put this fellow
there during the season to come.
A royal bred Hambletonian Morgan bred
horse called Pine Cone by Octone, dam
Alclayetta, son of Alclayone; Cd dam
Wilketta by Kentucky Wilkes; Sd dam
Lambretta by Daniel Lambert, was next
shown He is rich golden chestnut,
close to 16 hands, is 4 years old and has
great style and gait in action. He is |
owned by Mr.. S. w. Parlin Editor of the |
American Horse Breeder; Mr.. Porter
thinks this horse will develop some
speed. He is square gated trotter.
His breeding should attract the attention
of breeders of trotters.
Kentucky Belle is nice brown mare |
with no mark, slick-going PAGER, own
ed by Mr.. Erwin Piper of Middlebury.
She is by Clinton Wilkes. She has step
ped halves in l 90 and was third last fall |
in race in 2:23l They think she will
do to go for the money with next season,
and we hope she will, as her owner is "a
game sport and has a host of friends
who would like to see him a winner.
A green PAGER that looks like veteran
is the chestnut PAGER Frank R., five
year-old gelding by Lamburtus, Jr., dam
by Bolton Boy. The story with him is
that he was worked in livery stable I'M
til the races at Hague came off, when
Mr.. Porter hooked him to sulky for the
first time and won two heats with him
in $3.50 and 2:2s1a but lost the race on &C
count of not being in good condition.
The horse certainly does not show any
lack of work, but it may not have been
Of the proper kind. Anyhow Mr.. John Q.
Porter, the elder son of John W., thinks
him good for a bundle next fall, and
hopes to bring home enough to buy his
