defeating good field.
The Ashland stakes for yearlings was
worth 1890, and went to Georgette in
straight heats. Eagle Bird, the winner of
the two-year-old stake last year, followed
up his advantage by winning the rich three
year-old Kentucky stake worth, to the win
ner, 81, $685. This fleet son Of Jay Bird won
in straight heats in 1923, 1864 and 2:23H
The great event of the meeting proved to
be the stallion produce stake. for foals OF
1882, which again brought to the front the
bay colt Patron, by Pancoast dam by Guy
ler the winner of the three-year-old stake
at the st. Louis fair Patron was in great
form and in the third heat equaled the best
three-year-old time by trotting in 2:19%.
Epaulette in the five-year-old class
showed what great horse he really is, as
he closed out the contest in one, two. three
order in 2:204, 2:20H and 2:19. The
stake contests throughout the meeting re-
suited in the development of high quality
and great speed. The meeting attracted
leading horsemen from all parts OF the
Union. and was undoubtedly one of the
most pleasant events Of the year.
The BLOOD OF Mambrino Chief.

horses trotted in the West and Southwest
this season. the descendants of Mambrino
Chief have borne off the greatest honors.
This is especially the case with the get of
his two grandsonS Pancoast and Princeps,
by Woodford MambrinO. Pancoast is the
sire of Patron, the wonderful three-y ear-old
who trotted the best three heats for three
year-old on record, at Lexington, KY, in
2:2019, 2:25, 2:191. the last heat the same
as Kinda Roses, the best on record. Prince
ton, a four-year-old, trotted a heat at st.
Louis, Mo-, in 2:23I. This is not the full
capacity of these youngsters, and it is
claimed-which we do not for all instant
doubt-that Patron. with a good day and
track, can trot a mile in 2:16.
1t was great misfortune to the breeding
public when Woodford Mambrino died
Judged by his own get, and that Of his sons
that have been tried, Pancoast, Princeps and
Mambrino Dudley, he must be regarded as
one of our greatest and most prepotent sires
who transmits his speed and gameness with
great uniformity. We have four OF his sons
doing service at the stud in Kentucky-Pan-
coast, Princeps, Mambrino Russell and Abb
dalbrinO; the latter is an own brother to
Princeps.
In looking over the winners of the stakes
at the recent meeting at Lexington, KY,
there is not single one but what has a
cross of Mambrino Chief blood, some of
them as many as two or three crosses.
Georgiette, winner of the yearling stakes,
through her dam; Nutbreaker, winner of
the Lexington stakes, through his sire;
Eagle Bird, winner of the Kentucky stakes,
through his sire. Jay Bird, dam being by
Mambrino Star; Reference, winner of the
four year-old sweepstakes, through his
sire; Jenifer, winner of the Red Wilkes
stakes, through his sire; Patron, winner of
the produce stallion stakes, has three
crosses-two through his sire and one
through his dam; Epaulet, winner of the
tive-year-old stakes. has cross through his
dam, and Prince Wilkes, winner of the blue
grass stakes, two crosses, one through his
sire and one through his dam. We merely
call attention to these facts that breeders
may give credit where credit is due For
the last three or four years there has been a
great run on the sons and grandsons of
Rysdyk's Hambletonian. but it would seem
the best and mosr successful way to breed
is to cross the sons and grandsons of Ham
bletonian on the descendants of Mambrino
Chief, or the sons and grandsOns of the lat
ter upon the HambletOnian family. One
great advantage is you secure size and do
not sacrifice speed or bottom. The Ham
| bletonians as rule are small while the
Mambrino Chief family is large and rangy.-
