Walnut Grove Farm and Its Activities

By A. E. Leatherman

J. A. PERRY'S Walnut Grove Farm at Indianapolis, the home of Vologda 2:151/4, is one of the show places, with its buildings up to date and having all of the latest improvements. It is here that Manager Paul Adams is busy arranging the bookings for this fashionably bred young sire. The farrn has a small but select lot of broodmares, and is adding a few each year. Vologda has been bred to quite a few outside mares. The oldest of his get are coming two and are a fine lot of colts.

Mr. Adams is a young man in years, but his knowledge of the business will go a long ways to assist him in accomplishing the results which he has started out to obtain. He has quite a lot of young stuff, mostly yearlings, that he is educating. In the lot are a chestnut filly by Axworth-Mary Lullwater, by Peter the Great; a brown filly by Peter PlutoHelen Wills, by Foros; a brown colt, by VologdaCricket Dillon; a chestnut filly by The Great Volo-Mary D., by Dale Axworthy; a chestnut colt by Bogalusa-Bingen Bell's. All of them being nice size and grand individuals.

The broodmares now at the farm are Addiola Silk, by Bingen Silk; Mary D., by Dale Axworthy; The Great Medium, by Peter the Great; and Bingen Bells, by Bingen Hall. Mr. Adams is also getting several ready for the races. Helen Lincoln (2), by Peter Lincoln-Mitzi Lee, is his candidate for the Fox Stake. She is also entered in a number of the other futurities. For the three-year-old classes he has Ruth Worthy (3), by Lee Worthy-Ruth Volo, by Peter Volo, which trained as a two-year-old in 2:14, and is a high class filly that will be kept in all of her engagements. Persistent Belwin 2:053/4 is of course the one that Adams is banking on to bring home the bacon. She has plenty of speed and can carry it the entire mile. Several others will be added to the stable later on in the spring.
