STALLIONS FOR 1891 



AT 



MR. BONNER'S FARM. 



flnsel, Record 3:20, 



By Electioneer, Sire of Sunol, 2:ioJ, and 60 others in the 2:30 List. 



Eiflriflse, Trial am 1 , 



By Edward Everett, out of the dam of Majolica, Record 2:15. 



ANSEL 



is a bay horse, 16 hands high, and weighs 1,140 Ibs. He is by Electioneer, first dam by Lex- 

 ington, second dam by Grey Eagle ; third dam by Medoc. Ansel's dam is full sister to the 

 grandam of Sunol, record 2:10^5, thus giving him another cross of Sunol's blood, besides what 

 he gets from Electioneer. Governor Stanford, who bred him, says : "I am quite certain Ansel 

 will make a great stock horse, and am not sure but that I made a mistake in parting with him 

 before I had a greater number of his get." In another letter he says : " No horse has a more 

 impressive trotting action. It is very much like that of his sire. With this action, his head, 

 and his breeding, there can be no such thing as failure when he is bred to first-class mares." 

 Charles Marvin, the superintendent of Palo Alto, says : "Ansel has finer trotting action than 

 any stallion ever raised at Palo Alto, whether trotting-bred or running-bred, and his record of 

 2:20 is no measure of his speed." 



Ansel's fee is $200, due at time of service. 



ELDRIDGE, 



b h, 15^ hands high, foaled 1877, by Edward Everett (sire of Judge Fullerton, record 2:18), 

 dam Jessie Kirk, dam of Majolica, record 2:15. She is also the dam of Mambrino Startle, sire 

 of Mambrino Maid, record 2:17^, and of Miss Majolica, 2:24^. Jessie Kirk is by Clark Chief , 

 son of Mambrino Chief. Edward Everett, the sire of Eldridge, is the sire of thirteen trotters in 

 the 2:30 list, besides Joe Elliott, who was the first horse to trot in 2:15. 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. 



Eldridge' s fee is $100, due at time of service, 



Mares not proving in foal can have the usual return privilege, if the horses are alive. 



rr "*** Having only 113 acres, there is no room on my farm for mares sent to be bred to either of 

 these horses, but they can be kept on Mr. George W. Campbell'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. Address 



ROBERT BONNER, Tarrytown, N. Y, 



!Q?~ Mares can be sent to Tarrytown by boat from New York, or by rail to White Plains. 

 Both places are within three miles from the farm.
