The Wilkes Patchen cross.

A Lexington, KY, correspondent of the
Spirit of the Times says: Perhaps no trot-
ting cross of late years has produced SO many
fast horses, or commanded and realized such
high prices. as the Wilkes ambrino
Patchen. From this cross has come such
good ones as Rosa Wilkes, Alcantara,
AlcyOne, Wilkes Boy, Anglin and Baron
Wilkes. Alcantara and Alcyone sold for
an aggregate of S35, coo. while $50, 900 has
been offered for Baron Wilkes, and $4,000
for Wilkes Boy, which offers were refused.
Here are four horses by George Wilkes, out
of Mambrino Patchen mares, that would
have brought an aggregate sum of SO. 900
had they all been SOld-enOugh money to
buy the best observation-disclosures bluegrass
farm in Kentucky. Sentinella Wilkes, dam
of Mambrino Patchen FLY recently sold to
w, II. Wilson for $1,000. was bought at
Mr.. W. T. Woodlands last combination sale
by the Bowerman Bros, for. l think,
zoe, and sold by them to Mr.. Wilson for
81, 400. She is out of Satinet. by Sentinel.
full brother to Volunteer. We doubt if
there is another cross of this kind any
where, and, as George Wilkes, Mambrino
Patchen and Sentinel are dead. this FLY
will be watched by many with peculiar in
tereSt.
The Wilkes-Patchen cross is, and has
been for a number OF years, the most fash
ionable in the country. commanding better
and higher prices and producing more first
class trotters. While Wilkes crossed well
with all strains of blood, he mixed best with
the blood OF MambrinO Chief. Through
them he achieved his greatest success and
became the first stallion i'll America. He
came to Kentucky with little reputation as
sire and had nothing to recommend him
but his form. action and pedigree. He came
with Honest Allen. and for long time the
honors Of the stud were about equal.
Breeders were unable to decide as to their
breeding merits and for some seasons they
stood at the same fee, and got about an
equal number of mares"

The coffin-plate bore the inscription:

ton as to what was his earliest recollection
of horse-racing, he replied that it was see
ing Dan Mace, then boy, with long, fair
hair, riding gray horse over the East Bos-

Mace was about four years younger than

born in 1920, it seems to follow that the

1924. 1t was notorious that Mace would
