The 81 mares had produced up to Dec.
81 just 50 foals to Electioneer, of which
are dead and 8 of which were sold. The
age classification is Yearlings, I: two
year-olds. 4; three-year-olds, 2; four
year-olds, 2; five-year-olds, s; six-year-
Odds, II; seven-year-olds, 6; eight-year-
olds, 10; nne-year-olds, 3; ten-year-olds,
2. But subtracting the dead and sold
from the 80. we find that the entire num-
Der of foals at Palo Alto, by Electoneer.
out of thoroughbred mares, is 40. The
Z yearlings and 3 two-year-olds alive
make 10 undeveloped foals. which will
reduce the number owned at Palo Alto.
and of sufficient age to be tried in har-
ness, to 30. OF the number partially or
fully tested in harness, three-year-old-
trotted as two-year-old in :33; four
year-old has shown 20, and another a
"a gait; five-year-od has trotted in
= :2l, another in 2 :2S; has shown = 20,
"a and 2 :32 gait; six-year-old
has 4-year record of 2 poi; has trot-
ted in 2:2l, stet l in 2:244; have
shown 2 20 gait and 2 :56 gait; of
the seyen-year-olds trotted as a three
year-old in 2 :26, and of them showed in
yearling form 2 40 gait; of the eight
year-olds has record of 2 20, another a
record of :27t and another trial of
2 ~ in three-year-old form; of the nine
year-olds trotted 2 32 gait as a two
year-old, and the only living ten-year-old
trotted , rs gait as four-year-old. Of
the 30, Is have shown the ability to trot
in 80 or better. Where is the establish
ment which is using exclusively what are
called trotting strains that is not satisfied
with 60 per cent of performers? Senator
Stanford has demonstrated with Election
eer at Palo Alto that thoroughbred
mares, possessed of good heads and hav-
ing the right form, can be mated with
harness stallion, potent in the control of
action, with almost uniform success. The
showing which he makes is wonderful
and it will astonish the country. The
nearer the trotter approaches the form of
the substantial thoroughbred horse the
greater is the reliance you put in him
when heats are divided. The aim of the
intelligent breeder is to produce not only
a high rate of speed, but the ability to
carry the speed. He wants lung capaci-
ty and nerve energy joined to action.
The best of the fillies by Electioneer, out
of thoroughbred mares, have been retain
ed at Palo Alto for the stud. They have
