town and his farm in Prince George
County. Md, where he is raising a few
trotters and other bred stock. A rumor
existed for a time that Mr.. Tippett had
retired permanently to his country
estate, but the rumor was premature.
He expects soon to do So.
The promising trotting stallion. Won
March. 2:23 IA. is at present located in
this city, where he is attracting much
attention on account of his striking in
dividuality. magnificent breeding. and
sensational speed. 1t has been definitely
decided to race Won March some during
the season of 1911. That he Is a 2:15 or
better trotter is pretty generally con-
coded, but whether he will be driven to
his limit this year is a question. Those
who desire his services will have to
speak quickly, as they are limited and
he goes into training soon.
Red Princeps ~. 2:2sA, has grown
into public esteem as sire faster than
any other young horse brought to this
locality. Mr.. Tippett is keeping him at
present at his farm, in Prince George
County, and there he will probably re-
main. Individually speaking he is much
improved in the matter of condition over
what he was in 1910. His foals are
richly colored bays of grand size, up
headed. All trot, and are intelligent
Red Princeps belongs to a speedy fam
i;y. All of his brothers and sisters are
speedy, and most of them have very
low records. PrincepS 536 the sire of his
dam, is the leading speed producing son
of Woodford Mambrino, 2:21h. Princeps
536 was foaled in 1870. His dam was the
celebrated brood mare Primrose, by
Alexander's Abdallah Is, record 2:42.
Primrose's dam was the great brood
mare Black Rose, by Tom Teemer.
Primrose is credited with being the dam
of six trotters with standard records
and with ten sons that have sired eighty
two standard performers. Out Of the lot
Princeps 536 sired fifty-two. We are in
clined to believe that local owners of
mares do not appreciate the advantages
presented to them. No other section can
boast of a better bred lot Of stock
horses or Of better individuals. They
represent the most fashionable lines of
breeding. Perhaps a like opportunity
may never be presented again at suoh
reasonable figures.
We have heretofore referred to the i'm
portation Of Won March, Red Princeps,
and Gyman into this section by Messrs.
Tippett and Hall, as the most important
