Ond dam Lady Abdalah dam of Granville,

Abdallah Patchen was also by Alexander's
Abdallah, but his dam was Lady Valentine,
by Valentine, by imp. Valentine, second
dam by Shakespeare and third dam by Poto-
mac. With his breeding and his ability to
transmit speed, Wilson Mambrino Patchen
should do well at Forest park.
The death of Mambrino Patchen gives his
son, Mambrno King, chance to mount to
the vacant throne. The son is worthy of his
sire. His maternal lines are Edwin Forest,
Bertrand and Diomed, and his physical pro-
! portions are perfect. 1t is gratifying to have
excellent breeding in what Is conceded to be
by American aud foreign critics the hand
soonest horse in the world.
Edwin Bither recently paid q visit to
Lexington, and when he entered the famous
little gelding's box, Jay Eye See came up to
him, smelled him, rubbed his nose over
Bither's face, gave sort of chuckling whin-
ney. and evnced much pleasure in a great
many horse ways at seeing him, and from
the reports of those who accompanied Mr..
Bther on the trip, 1t is certain that the meet
ing was one of mutual love. Mr. Bither
says both Jay Eye See and Phallas are sleek
and trim, and that he expects both to do
wonderful things next season.
Altamont, by Almont, is proving not only
fast horse out in California, but also a first
class slayer, as his two six-heat races have
demon strated. On the last day of February,
handicapped to a wagon. he defeated Night
time and Moscow in 2:30, $50, 2:29 and
2:29, losing the first heat.
