Good Horses Go Abroad.
r. Schlessinger Of Vienna, who comes
to America every year in search of
purchases recently, the tbree-year- old
stallion Jack Swift, 2:1019. and the
seven-yesr.o mare Maud Light,
I9:07N. Schlessinger also bought
through Charles Z. Dean the black mare
Black Silk. 2:0914 which Dean raced
successfully in 1908. She will be used
as broodmare, but the other two will
be raced.
Maud Light also is an Illinois prod.
uct. She is by Elk Nut (son of High
wood aud lima Cossack. BY Don Cos
sack), dam Nora BARLEY, 2:16L by
Commodore Porter. Her sire was bred
by the late Arthur Calton Of Chicago,
who is also bred Caid, 2:07H. that
went abroad, beat all the best trotters
OF Europe, and now is. wonderful sire.
Last year Maud Light took record
of 2:l2H at Urbana, Ill, but was not
known as a star until MillaId Sanders
pulled her out at Columbus this fall
and beat Bracegirdle a couple of heats
under 2:0S
Black silk was sold ''sigbt unseen. .
\ couple of years ago Schlessinger
bought of Dean the trotting stallion
Dulce Jaw 2.09-3-4 and after the horse
reached Vienna he wrote Dean TO say
the nag came nearer fitting the descrip-
tiou Of him given by the seller than aDy
one he ever had to do with. Hence II
WAS easy for Dean 10 sell Black Silk,
which is stout mare of the brood
mare type, having a lot of vitality and
natural speed at both the trot and the
pace.
Mr.. Sehlessinger shipped an important
consignment Of horses TO Vienna on the
Atlantic Transport Lines Minneapolis
recently. In number, breeding and rhce
records this is no doubt the largest and
best lot ever shipped at one time to
any foreign country and gathered to-
gether by an individual buyer.

from 2.01. taken in 1900. to 2:04 IA.
She will naturally attract more atten-
tion abroad. not only on account of her
fast mark and racing quality, but be
cause her sire, Onward Silver, o:0j Ia
was taken abroad and made quite =

Perhaps the most promising stallion
Mr. Schlessinger took away was the

during the past season and showed well
in. several of his fnturity races. The
