. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. Nutwood Wllfees 3:16 1-3. â¢very one of his get that is in training this year and which began the season without a record and is a wonderful show- ing for a young horse that has had limited opportunities in the stud. Nutwood Wilkes made,heavy seasons in 1S99 and 1900 and a very large proportion of the mares mated with him during these years were high class individuals, many of them producers and many with fast records. As he is a very rare foal getter a grand lot of colts and fillies are expected from these matinge. Mr. Garter, however, knowing that he has in Nutwood Wilkes a horse of the greatest pioepect in the stud, one that gets early and extreme speed from all classes of mares, and being a gentleman of independent fortune, wishes to give the horse every opportunity to stand in the very front rank of speed producing stallions. In a conversation with the writer this week he stated that he was very seriously thinking of taking Nutwood Wilkes to Lexington, Kentucky, and placing him at public service there next spring. It would not be his in- tention to permanently locate the horse there or to offer him for Bale. He regards him too highly for that. One or two seasons at the most would be all the time he would want the horse to remain away from Nutwood Stock Farm, and in the meantime he would bread his mares and several daughters of Nutwood Wilkes that he owns to the best stallions in Califor- nia. Mr. Carter has always been a broad minded horse breeder and has annually patronized such BtalHons as McKinney. Direct, Diablo, Chas. Derby and others and has a sjqsII but grand collection of broodmares. He spoke with much favor of the proposed advent of Gayton 2:08} and said he wanted some of the Allerton blood and should send several mares to him should Mr. Butler bring the horse here. Mr. Carter believes he owns in Nutwood Wiikes one of the greatest of the young stallions of America, and knows from what the produce here in California ha
