STARTLE AND NDTBOURNE. 



OF 188S, 



STARTLE and NUTBOURNE will make the season of 1885 at my farm, three miles east ol 

 Tarrytown, WestchesterCo., N. Y. Terms for each horse, $100 the season, which is due in advance 

 of service. Mares not proving in foal can be returned the following season free of charge. 



STARTLE is a bay horse, 15^ hands high, foaled 1867, by Hambletonian, dam Lizzie Walker, 

 by Seely's American Star. Startle, although he has had a very limited opportunity in the stud, 

 is the sire of Majolica, record of 2:17 the fastest time ever made by ahorse in his first race. Portia, 

 record 2:20,^, and Nero, four-year-old record 2:31. A three-year-old by him trotted a mile with very 

 little handling, in 2:29 last fall; one quarterin 34 seconds, and Loretta, another of his get, trotted 

 a full mile in 2:26j. Many other instances could be given, such as a five-year-old and a four-year-old, 

 owned by Mr. Ewart of Pittsburgh, the former having trotted in 2 :23 and the latter in 2:38. Startle 

 was the first horse to trot in 2 rig over Fleetwood Park. 



NUTBOURNE, grey horse, 15! hands high, foaled 1877, by Belmont, dam Miss Russell, the 

 dam olMaud S., record 2:09^, by Pilot Jr., second dam Sallie Russell, by Boston (thoroughbred), 

 etc., As will be seen, Nutbourne is not only out of the dam of Maud S., but he is a full brother 

 to Nutwood, record 2 :i8f, and Cora Belmont, record 2:24^. As a five-year-old Nutbourne trotted, 

 with very little handling, in 2:26^, last quarter in 35 seconds. 



I have no room for mares on my place, but they can be kept on Mr. George W. Campbell's 

 farm, and other farms in the neighborhood on reasonable terms.

Will maie the Season, beginning March 1st, and ending December 1st. 



With the privilege of returning the same mare or a substitute in case of failure, until one is got with foal; 

 or as long as the horse lives, at $100, payable at time of service 



MARINER, 



Bay stallion, without white except small star, 16 hands high, and elegant in every particular. Got by 

 Smuggler, dam by Goldsmiths Abdallah; 2d dam by Mambrino Columbus; 3d dam by Star Davis; 4th dam by 

 Post Boy. Limited to twenty approved mares at $50 each ; payable at time of service, for this season only. 

 Season begins March 1st and ends August 1st. 



MARINER'S rich breeding, with his size, color and remarkable trotting action, make him one of the most 

 desirable young sires in the country. 



SMUGGLER'S wonderful performances, with those of his get, are sufficient recommendation for him. 



Mares from a distance will be met at any station or steamboat landing in New York City by a careful 

 man. Mares from New York can be shipped from Peck Slip, E. R., to Roslyn, which is near the farm. Mares 

 kept at $15 per month. Mineola is 19 miles from New York by road, and the Farm is five minutes walk from 

 the depot.
