better pair of prospects that Drift

year-old. now in the kindergarten class
in the combination Of Irwin g. STEELE
Both are trotters. well-gaited, good
headed and fast. Their owners appear
to be justified in the belief that both
viii make good IN the hands of a mas
ter mechanic like Mr.. STEELE.
Both of these FLIES are extremely
well-bred. As a matter of fact, they
arc without a peer IN this direction,
and ought some day 10 add lustre 10
their lordly inheritance.

trotting-horse lines as any that was
ever foaled. and she looks and acts tire

future before her.
Promesa is a bay flly owned by
John Driscoll, of Orange. and spraag

Nancy Hanks, 2:e4. the grand OIL
queen OF the turf. The Woigeri3e an
Impetuous. 2:is, have Aeen mated. In
this connection it IS worthy to nate
that in addition TO their * eotionad
blood lines both were champions ia
their time. Impetious. e.3s. is cen
coded to be the very best daughter
of Dictator. and her record OF s.Iss
was the 2-year-old race reeora When
made in 1892. and for a long period
thereafter.
The Wolverine was The champion =
year-old stallion of 1868. and his reeof,l

The bay trotting stallion DOLPHIN Dill
Ion. by Baron Dillon. 2:12. in the stable
of Billy Covine, is big and strong, ard

him when he gets to the races This
fellow has a world of natural speed.
and probably n of the best 4-year-
old stud colts in training.
