nation from about the dam of Almack. He
was by Mambrino. He was raised by George
Toppin OF Toppintown, near Jericho, Long Is

Westbury. His dam was by Commander, Il
son OF Imported Messenger and half brother
to Mambrno. Engineer and Mount Holly
were bred too long ago tor me to know. They
were bred on the south side of Long Island.
Mambrinos dam was by Imported sour Crout.
Chancellor was owned by Mrs. samuel Rob
bins OF Jericho, when he served Black Maria,
the granddam of Cassius NJ. Clay, Jr. Black
Maria's dam was by Engineer.
Chancellor left my place in April, 1887, to be
placed in the stud ut Jericho, Long Island.
He was fat that the groom rode him so fast
that he died the next day. The dam of Cas-
sus NJ. Clay Jr., was called Indian Queen, by
Chancellor.

GYPSY QUEEN DAM OF THos JEFFERSON
THE NATIONAL TROTTING ASSOCIATION, !
OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY.
HARTFORD, Conn, March 10, lSS6.
Yours respectfully,
CHARLES W. Mitchell
JOSEPH BATTELL, Esq,


JOSEPH BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sir II have your letter of the 5th inst,
and reply that the revised "Turfmen's Drec-
tory" will be issued this spring, but | cannot
now fl the exact date.
You ask me what is known OF the breeding
of the blk. m.Gypsy Queen,t the dam of Thomas
jefferson and Naubuc. | reply that bought
this mare ut the Woodlawn course near Lou
isville, Ky, early in November, 1850. | had
seen her trot her famous dead heat in the 10
mile race against Captain Mcgowan at the
Woodland course, oct. p, Is,0, and then bar
gained tor her, but was unable to complete
the transaction until she returned from Gin
cinnati Immediately after the race which Cap
tain Mcgowan won there on Novcmber3. At
the time OF this purchase she was in the hands
of George W. Bidwell, who seemed Ia be in
some manner connected with sporting man
named Campbell, who was his hacker. Both
Bidwcll and Campbell informed me that the
breeding of the mare was not definitely
known and my present belief is that that
statement was correct although one l.. 7.
McQuivcy and the stable boys about the mare
told me she sired by the running horse
Wagner and that her dam was Il mare that
was sired by the running horse Glencoe, and
in support of their allegation they produced
| to me a steel engraving of Wagner which was
/ in their possession, as showing IA remarkable
resemblance to Gypsy Queen when in trotting
/ form. l attach little importance to
| their story though the resemblance
between the mare in trotting form and
/ the picture OF Wagner was certainly
remarkable, but my theory is that il she had
! been bred rs they stated she would not have
been the capable trotter she certainly was
/ bred Gypsy Queen to George NJ. Patchen
and lost the colt. bred her in the next con
secutive years to Toronto Chief, producing,
first, Thomas jefferson, toaled in 1868, and
Naubuc, foaled in 1854. After Thomas Jeifer-
son attracted attention As meritorious trot-
ter, and after il had been commented on that
| the breeding OF his dam was not certainly
known, the claim was put forward on behalf
of the Black Hawk family that she was
daughter of sherman Black Hawk. | have
never seen a particle of evidence, not even
clear circumstatial history, going to prove the
correctness of that claim, and must state as
my belief that her breeding is not known.
Yours truly,
T. j. VAIL.
