Services—s guineas. THE Standard-bred American Trotting Stallion, GENERAL TRAOEY, is full brother to the well-known performer, Kentucky, being by Berlin (imp.), dam, Jenny Tracey (imp.) This mare was im ported by Mr Robert Wilkin, but before leaving America, Hiram Woodruff, a great authority on trotting, drove Jenny Tracey a mile in 2min 18£secs. He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley ; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting—" If ever there was a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty. So it is plain that Ken tacky and General Tracey contain the very besfc strains of American trotting blood. Mares grazed free. Every care taken bu no responsibility. J. C N.
