0LAMB ALAS MANY SONS AND DAUGHTERS. Lexington, Ky., September 11. Campfire, winner of the Futurity for R. T. Wilson of New York, is a Fayette County product. He was bred and foaled at Arch Hamiltons Kirklevington Farm near Lexington, his sire being Olambala and his dam the young Voter mare Nightfall, a daughter of the English marc Sundown, by Springfield, out of Sunshine by Thormanby. Campfire is Nightfalls first foal to be trained and, he likewise is, one of the first of the progeny of his sire. Nightfalls first foal came in 1913 and died. Campfire is her second. At Kirklevington there is a weanling brother to him, and Mr. Wilson has there ten other mares with foals this year by Olambala. They are Lady of Navarro, Roman Gold, Fantasquo, Madchen. Malm. Mauviette, Mexoann. Montrosa, LAlouette and Reticule. Dr. .7. D. Neet. master of the Kindergarten Stud, near Versailles, has Olambala foals from Aralia, Dancing Wave, Doreen, Glass Slipper and San Andres, while Lee Smitha, of Chilesburg, has foals by the sire of Campfire from Artful, Art, Foneda, Lady Kensington and Lizzie Gilman. On all of these Mr. Wilson has options, which equals control of the 1910 crop of Olambalas for his owner. Thirteen of the twenty foals this year are colts. Dr. Neet recently said the five foals at his place are exceptionally good looking and that he regards them as good as the best he has raised in thirty years experience as a breeder. Lee Smitha says the colt out of Liz zie Giluiau is fully the equal of the high-priced John Marr, which he sold from here as a yearling for something like 0,000. For the past seven years Arch Hamilton has raised at Kirklevington all of the horses bred by Mr. Wilson and has shipped them to him at New York in their yearling form. He has in charge of Olambala and the mares, Oscar Brown, who received his instructions from Col. Milton Young and is a graduate from McGrathiana. Kirklevington contains 500 acres, nearly tll in grass, and through every field there is running water from seven springs. The mares and their foals have plenty of range, because the place is not overcrowded with horses. Olambala is a genile horse and none of his get has as yet displayed bad temper. A thirteen-year-old boy rides Olambala every day. Arch Hamilton probably was as proud of Cainpfires success as was his owner, "lie is undoubtedly the best horse of his age in the east today," said Hamilton, "and it is an honor to have had something" to do with the production, however slight it may have been, of such a thoroughbred."
