HORSE SENSE. 



Red Wilkes is the sire (at this writing) of 145 trotters and pacers, 

 with records from 2:06^ to 2:30. He has "jj sons, that have sired 357 

 trotters and pacers from 2:ooj4 to 2:30. He has 62 daughters, that 

 are the dams of 94 trotters and pacers with records of 2:30 and below, 

 and yet the casual observer would say to himself that he looks more 

 like^he would sire common work horses than those for racing purposes. 

 Here again we have the combination of Hambletonian, 10, Mambrino 

 Chief, II. and the Morgan strains, and we get compactness of form, 

 size and substance to suit the most critical. 



Cut No. 12. 

 ALL PURPOSE STALLION. 



Cut 13 represents a brood mare that will mate well with the stallion 

 for good serviceable horses of all work. She has well sprung pasterns, 

 good feet, and legs well under her. She has an excellent digestive de- 

 partment, with roomy pelvis. She is muscular, has plenty of courage, 

 and a mare of strong individuality. Examine this stallion and mare, 

 point by point for mating.
