Book Title: HISTORY OF OCEANA CO., CHICAGO, H.R. PAGE & COMPANY, 1882

The Oceana Chief, imported by Dr. Weare, was for years a most noted horse, and 
as a trotter had a record of 2:22 1/4 on Saginaw track.

The first and only Norman Stallion was Gray Marquis, by HUbbard, Hosmer & Co., 
who also imported Clydesdale stallions.

But it is Mr. Browne that excels in trotting horses in this county, having a 
noble herd of trotters, and keeping about twenty head of the two and three-
year-olds and fifteen brood mares, the young horses being chiefly from Grand 
Sentinel and Indicator.  His sales of horses in 1881 were $10,000, and for the 
first half of this year, $6,000.  In the Summer of 1882 he purchased six brood 
mares and fillies from Kentucky.  Among his horses are:  (1) Lady Turpin, 
record 2:23, six years old; (2) Golden Dust, stallion, record 2:29;  (3)  
Grand Hambletonian, a stallion, record 2:28 1/4; (4)  the brown mare Spinella, 
record 2:30.  Among the brood mares are Shadow (2:27), Abdallah Belle, 
Richmond Belle, Peru Belle (2:27), Lady Humphrey (2:34), Scotia, dam of 
Spinella, and two others with a record of 2:30; Amethyst, Sea Bird, Lady 
Arnold, Susie Wilkes, Soprano, Spiletts, Indiana (2:39), Schottische, etc.
