A WILKESndaNUTWOOD 



IN THE STUD AT WILKES-BARRE, PA. 



DEFENDER and GREYLOCK. 



Defender is by GEORGE WILKES, the greatest trotting tire that ever lived. His dam is Mist, 

 a typical Black Hawk mare of great beauty, t-peed and stamina, by Ward's Flying Cloud, by Vermont Black 

 Hawk. Defender has a record of 2:26, but those who know him best believe that this is not the measure of his 

 speed. He is a black, 15% hands high, and weighs 1125 Ibs. We challenge the world to show a handsomer trot- 

 ting stallion. As proof that this is no empty boast we cite the fact that Defender was never yet vanquished in the 

 show rirff, although he has been pitted against the best in the land. As further proof that he is not " all pedigree 

 and no horse " we cite the fact that the people of this vicinity, who are not particularly well versed in pedigrees 

 but know a good horse when they see one, patronized him to the extent of 74 mares the first season, that of 1885, 

 and increased the number to 106 in 1886. The oldest of his get are now but about six months old. From $200 to 

 $500 has been offered for numbers of his get and refused. 



Terms, $50 cash, with return privileges. ' 



Greylocfe is a bay, off hind ankle grey, will be 16 hands and weighs 1200 Ibs. or more. Foaled in 1884; 

 bred by J. C. McFenan. His sire is the celebrated Nutwood, 2:18j. Greylock's dam is Patchen Maid, by Mam- 

 brino Patchen; second dam, Lady Eleanor, by Mambrino Chief. 



Nutwood had 17 in the 2:30 list at 16 years of age, and sold at public auction, when nearly 17, for $22,000. 

 Of the fourteen animals composing Greylock's pedigree to the fourth generation, every one but three has already 

 produced one or more 2:30 trotters. In form, size and promise of speed, Greylock is equal to his breeding. 



Terms, same as Defender, but limited. 



Mares from a distance can be t- hipped to Wilkes-Barre by either the Lehigh V alley, LehighandSusquehanna, 

 Pennsylvania, or Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroads. They will be met at the cars, and pasture 

 furnished at $1.00 per week, or $2.00 for hay and oats, or $70 per year. Good care guaranteed but no risk of 

 escapes, etc., taken.
