Is the first horse visitors at the Sage
stable ask to see.
Since the close of the training sea-
son Ann Boyd has grown and developed
wonderfully and is today one of the
handsomest mares in this city, as well
as one of the very brightest prospects,.
She is the apple of her trainers eye
and perhaps justly so. She demon
strated during the past season that she
mad the speed and was thoroughly re-
liable. With the attention that Mr..
Sage gives his horses and his known
ability it would indeed be strange il
this mare should prove a disappoint-
ment to her owner. Her blood line
compares most favorably with the best,
being by Advertiser, 2:15A, probably
h best living representative of the
Electioneer family. He was a great
~trotter himself; was a show horse and
the producer of show horses, and his
son, Adbell ID 2:23, held the worlds
record for a yearling trotter for twelve
years. Ann Boyd's dam is Alfrewood.

Arteer.
She was a blue ribbon winner as a
2-year old in the class for hllies Of her
age, and she could probably win at the
tanbark game today were she put into
condition for it.

made a splendid showing with the

opinion is conclusive proof of his abil-

tire season and winning. one of the
most severe tests OF q trainers ability.

After analyzing her breeding n Is
not at all surprised to find her splen-
didly bred in most desirable blood lines.
