wood Wilkes was the world's amateur champion 

 trotter. His battles for the gold cup with Sadie Mac 

 and others attracted national attention. He retired 

 with a record of 2:04V2- His leading descendant is 

 the brood mare Honeymoon which produced Guard"an 

 Trust, Bunter, First National, Ned Hale, Gloria, 

 Coburn and Jean Clare. Both Bunter and Guardian 

 Trust are represented in the gallery of the Thomas- 

 ville shack, one of the prints showing Rosemire 

 holding the distinguished brothers.

 Lee Axworthy 1:581/4 and Arion Guy 1:59V2- One of 

 them shows Lee Axworthy in his first race at Cleve- 

 land and another Arion Guy in one of the heats of 

 the Kentucky Futurity which he won in 1920. Lee 

 Axworthy also appears in another print with Lou 

 Dillon l:58i/2- This is unique as it shows the first 

 mare and the first stallion to beat two minutes.

 that won all of her engagements for the Pastime 

 Stable. Scattered over the walls there are many other 

 pictures of horses which failed to climb so high on 

 the ladder of fame. These include Farra 2:0814 

 with Andrews up, Rusticoat, Jim Todd, Albert 

 2:07%, Majolla 2:151/4 and Uncle Biff 2:06%. Rose-
