BUREAU OF IHFORMATIOH. 



I have long appreciated the fact that breeders desire earlier 

 information about the performances of the get of stallions in which 

 they are interested than can be obtained from annual publica- 

 tions. The Index of Sires to CHESTER'S COMPLETE TROTTING 

 AND PACING RECORD reaches them too late for the purposes 

 of their catalogues. In order to supply this deficiency I have 

 decided to establish a Bureau of Information for breeders of trot- 

 ters and pacers. My office will be in daily receipt of official 

 reports of races from both of the Trotting Associations, and the 

 performances at outside tracks will also be collected. The new 

 records made, or old ones reduced, by the get of every sire, will 

 be posted daily, and weekly bulletins will be issued to sub- 

 scribers to the Bureau giving the latest and most accurate 

 information concerning the horses in which they are specially 

 interested. By this means a breeder cannot only be prepared 

 with all facts to date that pertain to his catalogue, but will 

 also have the very latest information about the performances of 

 the lines of stock he favors, which is frequently very valuable in 

 making points that will affect sales, services, etc. The charge 

 will be $5 per horse, payable half in advance and the remainder 

 at the end of the season. This is a new idea, but I believe 

 the plan will become popular. 



In general, my services can be had for the execution of com- 

 missions in my line, tabulation of pedigrees, preparation of cata- 

 logues, conduct of cases before the court? of the Trotting Asso- 

 ciations, investigations of doubtful or obscure matters, etc., on 

 reasonable terms.
