That Mr. Allen' s venture in the breeding of trotters will 

 be a successful one is not to be doubted. He is a man of 

 great executive ability, of marked enterprise, and with a 

 firmness of purpose that will attain almost any end which 

 it seeks. His investment thus far is the most extensive ever 

 made by a beginner in the ranks of breeders and is a 

 notable instance of what wealth and well-directed energy 

 may accomplish.
