. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. D. E- KNIGHT. his farms King of the Ring, 2:21, a sorel gelding 10 years old. out of Knight Hawk by Brigadier, and sired by Silver King. Lynhood a bay four year old gelding out of Knight- hood also by Brigadier and sired by Lynmont. Patti Rosa, a brown mare with a record of 2:25 is 7 years old.

A bay mare, Cora S, is a pacer with a 2:20 mark; she is 8 years old, sired by Alexander Button, dam Nellie by Brigadier, second dam by Tom Atchison, thoroughbred. Sil- ver Queen, a bay mare 8 years old, has a record of 2:19, her sire being Silver King, dam unknown. Among the two year olds and babies I noticed Cordie N, sired by McKinney and out of Knighthood, who is the dam of Lynwood. A bay yearling filly pater by the great Altamont, dam Knighthood; Waldo D, a bay yearling out of Daisy, by Friday McCracken, sired by Walstein; also two full brothers to Daimont— Cinders and Henry S—a baby sorel filly by Diablo, dam Knighthood, and a brown yearling out of Elmorine, by Elmo, and sired by Lynmont. In another inclosure where there is fine alfalfa I found Lue Star a seven year old bay mare by Brigadier, dam by Echo, second dam by Old Langford. This mare has a colt by Lynmont. A three year old bay out of Knighthood, sire Lynmont, is a handsome animal and has size and style enough for a carriage horse. The mascot of the stable is a young deer "Sampson" out of his mother sired by an unknown fleet footed animal. This deer is a perfect pet and when the horses are out in training, this wide-awake citizen of the forest follows them around the track. He is a boon companion of the St. Bernard dogs, and in fact of everybody about the place. When it is considered how much of a man's time is taken up with the arduous duties of life, it is not surprising that he finds recreation in breeding superior horses. Such I pre- sume is the recreation which Mr. Knight enjoys.
