Breeders can learn "A valuable lesson
from the combination of blood lines in
these celebrated trotters. 1t is ii fact
worthy of note that every horse which
got part of the purse possessed both
the Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief
strains, combination which has proved
wonderfully successful the past two
years, and will be much sought in the
future. The result of this event clearly
PioNe9 llic superiority OF tne W likes
strain. In the last three heats the Wilkes
representatives beat every other trotter
in the race. Another point of much i'll
terest and great value to New England
breeders is the fact that the winners of
second aod third money were from dams
Of Morgan descent George Wilkes, from
which they descended, was from Dolly
Spanker, daughter of Henry Clay, and
the dam of Dolly Spanker was from a
mare by Bakers Highlander, by Paul's
