Till"] tlKiroiii^lilnTij ncNcr 1i;h1 a \\aniH'r t'riciul iioi' more anient a<linirci' than 

 Nathaniel Dviiieiit. the siiliject of this sketch. At his decease, earlv in the 

 year 1!)()7, the (anadian turi' siitt'ered a loss that will lie hard to repair in the 

 years to coine. Mr. Dynieiits tnil' history did not date as t'ai' l>ack, |)erhaps. assume 

 of the other (anailian o\\ nei's. iiul (hiring his limited career of some leu years, he neitlier 

 spared time nor money in the enconraii'cmcnl ol' Kreedin^ and racing;' thorou<;hl)reds. 

 In later years he maintained that this hohhy had addi'd yeai's to his life and only 

 rcoretted that he had not taken to it when he was a much younger man. The owner 

 of the Brocjkdale Farm, as his estate was called, was known on this continent 

 from coast to coast. He I'aced his string on many of the \ nile(l States tracks, as 

 well as on all of the ( anadian coui"ses. and won many rich stakes with his horses. 

 Mr. Dynient took oix-jil pleasure around his stud watchinj;- the youngsters develop 

 and f^row . and man\ fast ones came from IJarrie. w here the racing;' string was wintered.
