"Our 1913 exhibit in the First Regiment

100 acres, about fifty buildings and
stables, numerous paddocks and a three
quarter of mile elliptical training track.
On this farm are ten stations and
eighty-five brood mares. In addition TO
this there are number of weanlings,
yearlings. two-year-olds. three-year-oids
and four-year-old thoroughbreds There
are also large number of draft
horses, all of which he bred and which
are used daily as part Of the business

suecessful Breeder.
Gen. Sanford is the only man who
succeeded in breeding high class race
horses In this State. When he started
the venture breeders of Kentucky,
Tennessee and California laughed and
said that he only would be able to
raise "runts;" that the climate here was
too rigorous and the foals would be un
able to grow and develop into horses Of
good size and substance. But Gen. SAN
ford fooled them. He proved in a short
time that by good attention and by feed
Ing plenty of grain with plenty of fresh
air he could breed and raise horses of
high class
He soon had such horses as Chucta-
nunda- Canuahnawaga. Rockton. Molly
Brand. Mohawk and many others that
won many races and stakes of great
value.
Chuck was favorite among the
citizens Of the northern part of the
state and took pride that he had been
bred In fold at Amsterdam The year
that Chuck" beat the best sprinters in
the United States at Saratoga the citi-
zens Of Amsterdam met him on his re-
turn to the winter quarters, placed a
garland of flowers around his neck, and.
with brass band at his head. escorted
him to the village in triumph to Hurri-
cana Farm.
Up to 1905, when Gen Sanford was
eighty-two years Of age. he was strong
and vigorous in mind and body. A re-
porter for the World, as his guest, was
shown over the farm during the early
spring Of that year. While riding around
the paddocks one of the stations broke
loose and came dashing out of the gate
way full of fight. He was ready with
teeth and heels to strike down any body
or anything that fobstructed his way to
freedom. Several OF the stable hands
ran IN fear Of their lives. Not so with
Gen. Sanford, he grasped the whip out
of the carriage. faced the furious stall
lion. and drove him. unassisted. into the
paddock. This was .an example of the
generals courage.
When the gates of the race tracks in
this State were closed. the action of the
stewards of the Jockey Club nearly
broke the heart Of Gen. Sanford. But
he was optimistic of the future regard
ing the sport, and said: Racing never
win die. It will be revived some day
maybe after I'm dead With this hope
In his heart he maintained his breeding
farm to the day he died.
