The Breeder and SporUman, of

regarding Simon Spry, of Alliance,
and his two fillies:
Simon Spry, of Alliance, Nebr., has
two very promising speed prospects
in a three-year-old filly by Del Cor
onado 2:09, and a two-year-old filly
by Copa de Oro (p.) 2:01. The dam
of iheee fdliies was by Conrad (by
Electioneer), who was an own broth
er of Anteeo 2:16, J. C. Simpson
2:18, Antevolo 2:19, etc. Con
rad was located for several years
on the ranch of Capt. Ed Pyle, near
Alliance- Mr. Spry. moved from Alli
ance to Ix8 Angeles, Cal., five or
six years ago, taking with him the
Conrad mare, then a filly. While at
Los Angeles he bred her to the two
stallions mentioned above, moving to
Alliance again in 1911, where .the
Copa de Oro filly was foaled. Alli
ance is an ideal place to train trot
ters or pacers, the altitude and cli
mate being about the same as at
Den vi r. They have a good track
there, and as proof of the same,
v.?h to iiy that the outlaw pacer,

Thorr 2:08, stepped a heat over
this track, when K was new, in 2:10
