No Other Breeding Farm in the world has Two Stallions, 

 each having a Record betted' than 2:2 lyi. 



W^oodford IVIambrino, the best son of Iflanibriiio Chief, and Manibrino 

 Dudley, the best son of W^oodford Manibrino. 



Georg^e Wilkes, the best son of Hambletonian, and Kentueky Wilkes, 

 the best son of George Wilkes. 



The following appreciative remarks in regard to Mambrino Dudley are from the pen of a close and intelligent 

 observer, and express an unbiased opinion : 



" Without meaning to disparage any other of the celebrated sires of the mighty Mambrino tribe, I must con- 

 fess that Mambrino l5udley pleases me better than any other member of that family that I ever «aw. Docile, 

 intelligent, kind, obedient, of fine size, good finish and imposing presence, speedy, game and pure gaited, elegantly 

 coated and colored, fashionably bred, close up and remotely, his i)ersonal qualities seem near to perfection. His 

 greatest claim to public confidence, however, is found in the remarkable quality of his offspring. I was recently 

 at Marshland Farm, where I saw numerous foals by him, ranging from weanlings up to two-year-olds. With the 

 single fault that there was an occasional chestnut, I never saw an equally good lot of Mambrinoes. They were 

 strikingly uniform, enough io .show their paternity, notwithsiMudiiig the wide difference among the dams iii lines 

 of blood and physical types, and the babies were nearly all little mature liorses, so well formed and forward were 

 they; and they were uniformly fine looking, too. Trot, and nothing l)ut trot, was written over all alike. They 

 were each and all a success, and i)roved thefr sire to be truly great. Superficially judged — that is to say, judged by 

 the eye alone— they were simply above and beyond criticism, except, as before said, in regprd to an occasional 

 chestnut or sorrel. It is very iuird for me to believe that a better Mambrino stock horse lives, and to all who like 

 that strain, or want it (and it is undeniably great within certam limits), I can say that I cordially advise breeding 

 to Mambrino Dudley, without hesitation or doubt. I am firmly convinced that history will write him down a phe- 

 nomenal sire, regardless of the breeding of the mares mated to him. In this respect he stands absolutely inde- 

 pendent and with few equals." 



MAMBHINO DVD LET has never had the benefit of an entire season upon the turf, all his campaigning 

 having been done after a season in the stud. He made his present record after being for four years continuously 

 in the stud, having heavy seasons every year. With but five weeks' training after the close season of 188.5 he 

 trotted the first heat of his race in 2:27. his second in 2:21, and his third in 2:20>2, trotting the last quarter of the 

 last mile in 34)4 seconds, or a 2:17 gait. 



KENTUCKY WILKES has as much speed as any entire son of George Wilkes, having trotted repeatedly 

 in his work ,n 2:18. lie is larger than his sire and has more style and a higher finish than any other son of Wilkes, 

 and the veterian observer Alden Goldsmith says he is the gamest Wilkes he ever saw. The oldest of his "et are 

 now only about six months of age, but all agree that they are a siijierb lot of youngsters. They are owned in the 

 vicinity of Boston, and the American Cultivator, the leading agricultural paper of New England, says that $500 

 have been offered for his colts not three months old. Mr. jf. K. Graham, of Boston, a most competent judge, 

 writes that from what he had seen he is satisfied that Kentucky Wilkes will make a great sire and that he is worth 

 $10,000.
