E. 3^0. 43Q2- The attention of trotting-hoi'se breeders is eallecl to this princely bred trottins/ stallion, as being not only one of the most fashionable bred horses in America, bnt because he has many recommendations not po.ssessed by any other stallion. His sire, Harold, has thirteen in the 2:30 lit<t, and is the sire of the queen of the trotting turf, the famous Maud 8., '2:0S^, Harold is also the sin. of Lord Russell who stands at the farm of A. J. Alexander, Ky. , at ^200 for the season ; (the highest fee of any untried stallion in America.) Harolden, dam of Algath, 4 years old; record, 2:23. Bicara, dam of Pancost, 2:21ij' ; sold by Public Auction for .'?28,00() ; sire of Patron, 3 years oM, 2:19i, (half interest sold to C. Emery, of Cleveland, for .":>12,5()0); also Consuela, dam of Cannaught ; record, 2:2-4. These are the first three of his daughters that were bred. Bookmaker's dam, Wildwood, was sired by the famous Kentucky stallion Nut- wood, 2:1S'|. He by Belmont, out of the dam of Maud S. Nutwood, sold at the great (ilenview sale, 188G, for .$22,000, and 01 of his get brought the unprece- dented sum of .^100,700, an aver-age of .si, 050. This includoil all Ids wealing foals of 188G and yearling fouls of 188."). The grand dam of Bookmaker was Wild Rose, by Rysdyk's Hanibletonian. Tins mare was the dam of Duqiiesne, 2:lo:|:, No stallion in Caiuida eoml)ines so many !si)eed-producing lines as liookmaker. He traces four times to Old Abdallah, three times to Rysdyk's Hanibletonian, three times to Imported Bellfounder, once to Alexander's Abdallah (the sire of Goldsmith Maid, 2:14), once to Mambrino Chief (the sire of Lady Thorne, 2:18:J) ; and with all of the above he combines the same animals that produced Mat*d S. . 2:08.^. Bookmaker, at the Industrial Exhibition held at Toronto, 1886, was winner of the first premium for best 3-year oM roadster stallion. Also winner of silvdi medal for best roadster stallion any age, over a very large number of the best roadster stallion in Cana<la. Two weeks after at London he won first premium for 3.year-old roadster stallion, and diploma for best roadster stallion any age ; stamping himself l)eyond douljt or contraversy as being not only the best breed but the handsomest stallion in Canada. Bookmaker has grown and greatly impi-oved on his 3 year-old form. Breeder will please notice that Harold, Nutwoood and Belmont has each added four of their get during this last season to the 2:30 list. He was foaled May 1, 1883, and was bred at Woodburn Farm, Kentucky. In color he is a beautiful bay, with hind ankles white. He is of a very rangy form, stands 15 hands 2^ inches high, in road condition weighs 1,100 lbs., showing immense bone and great nuiseular power. With only the handling incidental to harness gentling, he has shown quarters in forty-four seconds. Breeders will notice that \Voodl)uni Farm is using only sons of Harold as their youny stallions in the stud. Eleven Woodburn trotters beat 2:30 last season. Positively limited to 50 mares ; Chicago Volunteer mai es preferred. Tekms— !j?25.00 for season, payable l)y note January 1st, 1888. Mares not prov- ing in foal can be returned next season free, if horse living and in my posses- sion. A large number of mares have been spf)ken for but book is now open and applications will be received, until the desired number obtained; after which no more received, positively ! as I intend training him this fall. First-class pasture at 75 cents per weeic Owners of mares nuist assume all risk of escaj)(! and injury. Bookmakei will stand at his own stable. Breeders desiring a photograph of Bookmaker can obtain one by addressing the proprietor. M. BURGESS, Woodstock, Ont., Can. T:^ABl!JI!x^1^KI!) F*£ Hamblctonian . .
