crossed with other blood. That Kushan
and DIR. Bell have added greatly to the
wealth of Loudoun County is without
question. Bale Axworthy and DIR. Bell
perished by fire the same night. The
| first named was the most highly es-
| teemed. and deservedly SO. He was not
! only a grand individual. but was
grandly bred. His get sell for long
1gures when young, and owners of
Bale Axworthy fillies in Loudoun will

selling them.
1t would be hard to estimate how
much wealth Don Cozine brought into
st. Mary County, Md. II mounts far
l'tion of Happy Russell, no sire in
Southern Maryland has accomplished
as much good. The chief defect of the
Don Cozines Is lack of size. Cozine
was not a high-class individual. but he
possessed the power to impart speed
to his get of a high order. With bet
ter opportunities Don Cozine's rank as
sire would haye equaled that of the
best sons of Gambetta Wilkes. The
best of his entire sons are Palm Cozine.
2:19A: Russell CoziDe, e:13K, and
Wolverine. 2:29i4, and his best unsexed
son, Herbert Cozine, 2:24k. A num-
Der of Don Cozine's get will be tried
out this year by Norman Corbin. who
has secured a corner on the family. II
would seem, as his present large stable
is chiefly comprised of Cozines.
