Last week two full brothers were sold by J. S. Stewart for $3500. One was a two-year-old, the other just twelve months old.

Breeder and Sportsman: The young Copa de Oro's are showing phenomenal speed at Exposition Park, Los Angeles, and it is freely predicted that he will he the peer of all pacing stallions as a sire. Last week two full brothers were sold by J. S. Stewart for $3500. One was a two-year-old, the other just twelve months old. The former paced the first time he was called to go a mile (and this with very little work) in 2:17, last half in 1:07. A few days later this colt paced an eighth in 1434 seconds! His new owner is Mr. Joe Nickerson, president of the Los Angeles Driving Club, Who is certainly to be congratulated upon his acquisition. The younger Colt is conceded to be the moat phenomenal baby pacer "ever started up in these diggin'; When barely broken he paced an eighth in lGVt seconds. Both of these colts are out of Easter D. (2) 2:15%, winner of the two-year-old division of the P. C. T. H. B. Association Stakes in 1908. She was by Diablo 2:09%, out of Donnazone by Athadon 2:28; grandam Trenna by Junio 2:22. She produced another colt by Copa de Oro that trialed in January of his two-year-old form, a mile in 2:20, and was sold to Mr. J. McLain for $1S00. Perhaps the most speed shown by a three-year- old at this season of the year was the work of Con- tention B., the Copa de Oro 1:59—Bonnie Ailse 2:08% colt that trialed about ten days ago a half in 1:02, and lately astounded the rail birds, also his trainer, W. G. Durfee, by pacing two eighths the same morn- ing in :13%. This pacer is, without doubt, one of the most promising youngsters ever seen in the West. He goes without any fancy regalia, wearing only a pair of light quarter boots, is perfect headed, can be placed anywhere and is of a splendid type. His dam is by Faustino 2:12% (son of Sidney 2:19%) out of a mare by Happy Medium. You ought to see the Car
