A note from Mr.. r. Vokes, Frank
lin County, n. Y, states that there
| is a lively interest among horse breed
ers in his section. Among the we'll
dam by Jupiter, son of Long Is and
Black Hawk and another by Albert
Albert Lambert was taken West q
few years ago, where he was stand
ing at last accounts. He is not reg
istered as standard. Mir. Vokes
mentions a gentleman who thought
purposes, but was told that the Lam
berts are cutters, and wishes to
Golden has several times stated in
the presence of the writer that Gomez,
by Daniel Lambert, was one of the
most plucky horses he ever drove,
and could trOt close to PIG, before
meeting with an accident which
caused his retirement from the turf.
Mr. Alden Woodward, or Ollie Wood
ward, as he is more generally known,
says they are good enough for him.
If properly conditioned, he does not
want any better stayers. Mr.. Wood
ward has had as much experience
with them as any trainer within our
knowledge.
The dam of Butterfly (2.1913) was
from a daughter of Daniel Lambert,
and no one ever suspected her of
quitting. Haldane, which won the
four-year-old race at the Breeders
meeting las fall at Mystic Park, was
second at the half-mile post in 40,
but finished his mile in 2.2615, and
showed no symptoms of sitting down.
He is by Mambrino Russell, and his
dam, Brownie, was by Daniel Lam
bert The race for 2.40 class at
the same meeting brought out field
of eight good ones, including Will
mar, full brother to Gov. Sprague
(2.201a) being by Rhode Island,
son of Whitehall His dam was
Bell Brandon, by Rysdyk's HANDLE
tonian. 1t was one of the few eight
heat races trotted last season. Will
mar won first and fifth heats. but
the winner of the first money was
by Bessie, by Mr.. HI. Il. Cults Ben
Franklin (2.20, son of Daniel Lam
bert. Bessie took the fourth, sew
enth and eighth heats; winning the
fourth in 2.31A, the fastest time
made in the races.
In the three-year old New England
stake offered by Mr.. James Golden,
which was trotted at Mystic Park
last year, were four starters: MIN
bus, by Ben Franklin, dam by Brok-
en- Leg, son of Rysdyk's Hambleton-
ian; Owasia, Onawa (2.22I) son
of Goodwin's Hambletonian Myrtle
wood, by Wedgewood (2.19), dam
Myrtle 2.25H), by Scobey's Cham
pion, and Fonsin by Onawa. MIN
bus won in straight heats time PA,
2.42A, 2.42H.
1t must be remembered that Daniel
Lambert and Gen. Knox were both
mated with a large number of New
England mares which lacked the
proper breeding to give them courage
and stamina. 1t would not be sur
prising if the produce of such should
throw back to some cold blooded an
cester, and when put to the test
would develop the weakness sure to
result from some of the produce of
such mares, even though they were
by the most courageous, long-dis-
lance racers ever produced in this
country or England. When these
undesirable qualities, coming from
the dam or her ancestors, are mani
tested in the produce, the sire almost
invariably is compelled to bear the
blame Daniel Lambert and Gen.
Knox have both suffered in this re-
spect, but their daughters, when
| from we'll bred mares, are sure to
prove valuable for brood purposes
when crossed with the right kind of
stallions.-Americdn CuHirdtOr.
