RECOLLECTIONS OF MEN AND HORSES 



Mr. Daly, like Mr. Shults, was a good buyer in the 

 dark days of the industry, and those who had horses 

 catalogued to be sold always were glad to see him by 

 the ring side. 



When a trotting meeting is within reasonable dis- 

 tance of his home, W. G. Bennett lays aside his ju- 

 dicial robes and hunts for a good seat in the grand 

 stand. His Riverside Stock Farm is at Weston, 

 W. Va., and one of his stallions is Matagorda by 

 Mazatlan (son of Electioneer and Rosemont), dam 

 Aida de Clare by Lord Russell; second dam Aida 

 by Hambletonian, and third dam Clara by Seely's 

 American Star. The wide distribution of this blood 

 combination should improve the type of horses in 

 West Virginia. 



At Berlin, Wis., is a successful breeding estab- 

 lishment, Riverside Park Farm, the home of Baron- 

 more, 2.144, a brown stallion, by Baron Wilkes, out 

 of May Wagner by Strathmore, she out of Mary S., 

 daughter of Alcantara and Lady Carr by American 

 Clay. These are fashionable blood lines, and the 

 rank of Baronmore as a sire of speed increases from 

 year to year. His two fastest trotters are Barongale, 

 2. nj, and Peter Stirling, who won the Kentucky 

 Futurity in 1901, taking a three-year-old record of 

 2.H-J. The colt was then purchased by the ever- 

 green Frank Work, and is still a prominent member 

 of his stable. 



Glen Moore Farm, E. S. Wells, is one of the 

 prominent breeding establishments of New Jersey,
