SB.A-S03Sr OF 1886. 



The fashionably-bred stallions, STARTLE and NUTBOURNE, will make the season of 

 1886 at my farm, three miles east of Tarrytown, Westchester County, N. Y. Terms for each 

 horse, .f 100 the season, which is due in advance of service. Mares not proving in foal can be 

 returned the following season free of charge. 



STARTLE is a bay horse, 15ir hands high, by Hambletonian, dam Lizzie Walker, by 

 Seeley's American Star ; and although he has had but a very limited opportunity in the stud, 

 is the sire of Majolica, record 2:15; Portia, record 3:29^, and Nero, four-year-old reeord 3:31. 

 Westchester, by Startle, trotted a mile in 3:29 over my track as a three-year-old. Loretta 

 trotted a mile over the same track in 3:34, and Alley Bonner, also by Startle, trotted over 

 Carll Burr's track a trial in 3:34|. Many other instances could be given, such as a five-year- 

 old and a four-year-old, owned by Mr. Ewart of Pittsburgh — the former having trotted in 3:23 

 and the latter in 2:38. Startle is not only a sire of trotters, but is a very fast horse himself, 

 being the first horse to trot a mile in 3:19 over old Fleetwood Park, and on another occasion 

 he trotted a half mile in 1 :04^. 



NUTBOURNE is a gray horse, 16 hands high, foaled 1877, by Belmont, dam Miss 

 Russell, dam of Maud S., record 3:08f, by Pilot, .Jr.; second dam Sallie Russell, by Boston 

 (thoroughbred), etc. As will be seen, Nutbourne is not only out of the dam of Maud S., but 

 he is a full brother to Nutwood, record 3:18f, and Cora Belmont, record 2:24^. As a five-year- 

 old Nutbourne trotted, with very little handling, in 2:26}, last quarter in 35 seconds; but since 

 then he has not been trained, as he has been used exclusively for the stud. Nutbourne's full 

 brother, Nutwood, is now the trotting sire in Kentucky, and is so popular that his services 

 have been raised to $2.50. He had five of his get enter the 2:30 list during the season of 1885. 



I have no room for mares on my place, but they can be kept on Mr. George W. Campbell's 

 farm, and other farms in the neighborhood, on reasonable terms.
