NUTBOUENE AND ELDRIDGE 



NUTBOURNE, out of the dam of Maud S,, record 2:08 3 /, ELDRIDG-E, 

 out of the dam of Majolica, record 2:15, 



Tho fashionably-bred stallions, NUTBOURNE and ELDRIDGE, will make the sea- 

 son of 1889 at my farm, three miles east of Tarrytown, Westchester Co., N. Y., and twenty-five 

 miles from New York City. Several prominent Kentucky breeders have urged me to let Nut- 

 bourne go to that State, but I have concluded to keep him at home. His full brother, Nutwood, 

 is the only horse, living or dead, with a record under 2:20, having five of his produce with re- 

 cords under 2:20, thus showing his capacity to get a high rate of speed. Besides, he is the sire 

 of 24 in the 2:30 list, eight of which were added last year. 



Terms, for Nutbourne, $150 for the season. For Eldridge, $100 the season. Mares not 

 proving with foal to either horse may be returned the following season free of charge. 



NUTBOURNE, g. h., 16 hands high, foaled 1877, by Belmont (sire of Nutwood, record 

 2:18), dam Miss Russell, the dam of Maud S, record 2:08f, 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 ;i full brother to Nutwood, record 2:18|, 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; but since then has not been trained, as he has been used exclusively for the stud. 

 Nut bourne's full brother, Nutwood, is so popular that his services have been raised to $500. 

 The editor of the Turf, Field and Farm, in speaking of the foals at my farm by Nutbourne, says 

 of one: "It is a trotting gem of the first water," and of another, "There is no disposition to do 

 anything but trot. I never saw so rapid a colt of its age." 



ELDRIDGE, b. h., 15 hands high, foaled 1877, by Edward Everett (sire of Judge 

 Pullerton, record 2:18), dam Jessie Kirk, dam of Majolica, record 2:15. Jessie Kirk is by Clark 

 Chief, son of Mambrino Chief. Edward Everett, the sire of Eldridge, is the sire of twelve trot- 

 ters in the 2:'JO list, among them the late Commodore Vanderbilt's favorite road horse Mountain 

 Boy, record 2:20|. Eldridge is a grandly formed horse, a rich bay, with black points, and has 

 trotted a trial on my track at Tarrytown in 2:20^. His dam being the dam of Majolica, he 

 should make a great sire. He has sired only four foals, and I sold one of them the two-year- 

 old colt Cartridge for $4,000. One of the best judges in the country says of him : 

 "Eldridge has a splendid hock, and a good, flat leg in fact, the best set of legs I have ever seen ; 

 and his remarkably loose, easy way of going shows that he has an elasticity that he can 

 impart." 



Mares sent to be bred to Nutbourne or Eldridge can be kept on Mr. George W. Camp- 

 bell's farm, just on the opposite side of the road from my place, on reasonable terms. Mr. 

 Campbell makes a specialty of taking care of trotting stock.
