. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. DEL CORONADO 2:09%. owner's intention to race him in the East next year. Del Coronado is one of the most perfct horses of the standard-bred family and is the ideal type of the American trotting stallion. He looks and trots much like his sire, but is a much handsomer horse and a better gaited one. He has proved his racing qualities and is proving his producing qualities. Three out of five of Del Coronado's first crop of colts have shown two minute speed at the trot, a showing that has never equaled by any sire so far as known to us. At ten years of age he has five in the list. His produce are all easy to train, are sound, good gaited and good headed.

Del Coronado 2:09% is the winner of the three fastest heats ever trotted by a stallion on this Coast, and he is a winner of numerous blue ribbons at the Los Angeles, other horse shows. He won over 23 competitors at one show and over 17 at another. He is a rich seal-brown, stands and weighs 1150 pounds.
