COUNT BELDEN is a handsome bay with black points, beautiful conformation, and stands 17 hands high, with a most docile temper, while his breeding is undeniable, being closely related to the great American jnarejtfaud S. (2.8 1 / 4). A reference to hi a breeding will show him to be a very high-claßs stallion, and he is related to most of the best trotters in America.

Judge Belden (imp.) was sired by Elmo (1891), time 2.17; first dam, Prentua, by Niagara, time 2.15, sire of Fairmount, time 2.22, and Fanny Maker, 2.15; g dam of the great American mare Maud S., time (high-wheeled sulky) 2.8%; Elmo, sire Como, time 2.26%; Alfred, sire Como, time 2.21; Elma, sire Como, time 2.24; T. 0. Lee, sire Como, time 2.15.

Duke C., out of the same dam as Count Belden (imp.), won Epsom Trot of two miles, time 5.714; June Handicap and Glasgow Trot, at Auckland. COUNT BELDEN cann6t be beaten for getting Carriage Horses and Hackneys of the right stamp, as his size'and breeding must prevail in leaving good stock and fast trotters. ■ Countess, dam of Count Belden, and sire's pedigree are as follows:—Countess —by Echo (462) son of Hydks; Hambletonian—from Nita, by Sawel's Hambletonian—from Betsy Austin, by Montreal, a Canadian pacer.
