| five starts; he carries in his veins the
same blood as Maud S., EOS "a. to high
wheels.
| His sire, Kremlin. 2:07 3-4, was not
| only great race horse. but he was the
| champion trotting stallion of 1893. He
sired the dam of the biggest money
winning trotter Of 1912. Kushan's grand
| dam, Rusna, was Nutwood's full sister.
His great granddam was that wonderful
producer of speed, Miss Russell. by Pr
lot, jr., and Miss Russelrs dam was
Sally Russell, by Boston. more
strongly made chain of trotting lines
could not be forged from the trottins
register than Kushan possesses. Great
brood mares abound in his pedigree
paternally and materially, such as Miss
Russell. Beautiful Bells. Eventide. the
dam of Kremln: Vara, and Venus, and
last but not by any means least, Green
Mountain Maid, the dam of Electioneer.
A horse bred like Kushsn. cannot fail
to leave his impress on the horse-kind
of community and produce great re-
suits. Thus far Kushan's get are all
trotters, easy to break and easy to train,
because they are all natural trotters. A
remarkable thing about his get is that
very rare exceptions. all of them are OF
good size. This should be Kushan's
biggest season in the stud, and while he
is still young and vigorous and bids fair
to live for some years to come. as every
one knows a stations life is uncertain.
Those who want his blood should not
wait. for delays are always dangerous.

to E F. Hall, and Hanson will endeayor

Miss Kushan, 2:16l-4 over a half-mile

Rrightview presents its most charming
aspect these beautiful spring days. Set
upon a commanding hill, the view from
the front lawn is one of the most pleas
ing sights in the matter of rural seem
cry to be found in Montgomery County.
Fourteen miles TO the SoutnWdrd can
plainly be seen the top of the Washing
ton Monument and the smoke from the
chimneys of the city that Washington
founded on the banks of the Potomac.
Here at Brightview the Javins have
built their summer home, away from
the fretful cares of the city. and have
gathered about them some go acres OF
fertile land, well-watered and well-tilled.
More and more the Inhabitants OF our
cities are becoming enamored OF rural
life. It is a gladstone sign, this longing
to get away from the artificialities of
CITY existence and closer to nature The
growth of the National Capital north

a revelation to those persons who are
not in the habit OF travelling in that
direction One of the most charming
drives in this section Of the country is
that from Silver Spring to Colesville.
and one of the most romantic spots en-
by the wayside is Burnt Mills. |
All along the route to Colesville are en-
countered well-kept farmhouses and out
buildings, and well-kept and highly cul- |
tivated farms And at this season OF
