Lovers of the Horse 



Among the century at the farm now are some of the best bred horses in American 

 trottinjj history, whose records ranw from '•2.08 to 2.30. 



One of the stars of 1907, and a very promising youngster, was a grey colt, by Oro 

 Wilks, to whom was given the name of Oro Lamliert. and who gained as a two- 

 year-old in the year named a record of '■2.17. He is a trotter of the first (luality, and 

 is a particular favorite with his mistress. 



There couhl scarcely be a more interesting spot in America for a horseman to visit 

 than the big Cruickston breeding farm. It has eight hundred acres of magniHcent 

 pasture land, and its stables are models of comfort and convenience. 



Of Miss ^Yilks herself, one can scarcely say too much in praise, for it is indeed 

 seldom that we find a woman who has the ])luck, the energy and the intelligence to 

 succes.sfully manage such an immen.se undertaking as this, undoubtedly the great- 

 est breeding establishment of standard bred horses in Canada.
