IL is unnecessary to follow the thread
of this story, as it draws its own con-
illusions, and shows that the
STOUT BLOOD OF WINNERS
produced as high-class performers as
they were themselves in their day. The
trOtting-horse breeder can profit by this
result as easily as those who preserve
the lines of the galloper from dash OF
cold blood. The foundation is already
laid, and the names of such
mares as Lady Patriot, Madam
Dudley, BLACK Rose, Kate, Lady
Fulton stand as beacOns on dangerous
coast to guide those at the helm. More
over. as we follow the gradual evolution
of the blood lines of such mares, or 9TH
ers equally as celebrated, but belong
ing To a distinct family, the uniform ex-
cellence of their descendants becomes
apparent, and the average rate of speed
shown keeps them continually before
the public. While the produce of mare
without a known cross of speed-produc-
ing blood, through her dam, may at any
moment become famous through the
performance of one of her fOalS, as
was shown by Lou producing AXtell,
2:12, there is more promise and conf
dence among buyers and breeders in the
descendants of rare mare that has
thrown speed; and that their trust is not
misplaced is shown by glance at the
performances of each year. There has not
years racing passed since Belmonts
get have appeared that Belle has not
had representative on the turf, and
the annual debuts of descendants of
Dolly, Green Mountain Maid, Water
witch and several other prominent ma
irons show that their blood lines,
like Tennyson's brook. promise to flow
on forever. The MambrinO Chief family
has Leen particularly fortunate in pro-
ducing several of these remarkable
mares. and none of them have
Assembled TO GREATER HEIGHTS
than Dolly. She was foaled in 1861, and
was out of Fanny, a daughter of Ben
Franklin and a mare by SAKE Weimer.
Three of her sons entered the 2:20 list,
and the past season has seen one
of her tillies trot in 2:2717.
Dolly's FLIES, as speed producers,
are very conspicuous by their absence,
but there are two of them at PalO Alto
that have each filly by Electioneer that
has shown fast; i'll fact, one OF them
pulled a wagon a full mile better than
2:30. Jessie Pepper is the only living
daughter of MambrinO Chief, and her
name will endure longer that the years
she has fed In the Kentucky pastures,
as two daughters and one son have al
ready laid a laurel wreath around her
name. Iona and Alpha were got by
Alma Matters sons, AlcyOne and Alcan-
tara, respectively, while Wenona is by
Administrator. lie Grand was got by
Almont and is the sire of Grandee,
which was one of the best three-year-
olds in California last season. Jessie
Peppers greatest triumph appeared this
year. however, i'm Prince Regent, which
is one of the best fOur-year-old
colts we have seen, and when
performance and breeding are united
he ranks as the best. In him the double
cross of George Wilkes. strengthened
by the blood of Alma Mater and cross
of Mambrino Chief at each end. has pro-
dueed race horse In every sense OF the
word. Had she never produced any
other fOal than Belmont the name of
Belle would have become as prominent
a fixture in the annals of the trOtting
turf as that of the Charles Kent Mare;
for. with AImont. he shares the hOn0rs
of being the greatest son OF AleXander's
Abdallah. He is represented by thirty
two $50 performers in the first genera
ton and ninety-SiX in the second, six
teen of which have beaten 2:20. Nc
Curd'S Hambletonian proved his worth
resentative in McEwen. 2:lS14. Lucas
Brodhead has made his start, and Bieara
stands out almost as
PROMINENTLY AS HER DAM,
with Pancoast, Mayenne and Monte
Carlo inscribed on her banner. She has
already eight 2:30 performers among
her descendants and two in the 2:20
list, Matte Graham is her greatest per-
former, and there never was a mare
raced here, there and everywhere like
this daughter of Harold, and one that
was given as few opportunities to show
her true merit. for of the eighty races
in which she was started she was per-
mitted to win but ten, still the records
show she was second in twenty-eight,
third in twenty-eight, fourth in twelve
and unplaced IN two. She was second
when the leaders were trotting in 2:20.
and while they were trOtting in 2:30,
while she was asked to finish 800 con-
tested heats. Both Dainty and TroSseau
had brief turf careers, and Mary'S two
sons have not as yet reached their limit.
Gerster, another daughter of Mary, has
also two foals that can beat 2:30. The
individuality of Young POrtia was re-
markable, as, with but one trOtting cross
in her pedigree, she overcame the thor
oughbred tendencies in Planet by pro-
ducing Portion, sire of Minnesota. and
also threw Hymen, 1881, and Childe
Harold, 2:32, as we'll as others. Vol
taire died soon after he was retired to
the stud, while Yolande's representa-
tiyes are the only two of her foalS that
have been trained. Clonmore is also
Connaught'S oldest foal. Five mares
have each given four Sires that are cred
tied with $50 performers. and. of the
quintet. Dolly and Blandino were got
by Mambrino Chief. PiedmoEt'S sue
cess as sire during the past season
brings Mag Ferguson again before the
public as prominently as when that
great son of AlmOnt was in the flush of
his turf career, eight years ago. LOrita,
by him. is reported as the best race
mare ever bred at PalO Alto. Mono
gram has very favorable representa-
ton and had Lady Emma not died after
the close of her five-year-Old campaign
she wOnld, in all probability, have had,
at this writing, descendant in the 2:20
list.
Matte West has proved one of the
most successful brood mares got by Al
mont, and as both of her developed sons
are already represented in the $50 list
the limit of her fame has not as yet been
reached. Indiana has bred on through
three sons, each by different sires. In
dianapolis, Indianian and Pilot Man,
brine. While none of their descendants
except Budd Doble have come very
prominently before the public, they
keep moving and show, at all events,
they possess the qualities that are
looked for in the trotter. A son and
daughter saved the name of Missouri
from dropping out of sight with hun
dreds of other brood mares. Waxford
was good horse, but in one of his first
races he stepped in a hole, hit himself
and received a permanent injury. al
though his record was made after that
time. His colts are also proving fast.
His first starter was the little mare An
ME Bird, which made record of 2:30I
in her first race, and died the following
night. Algath was one of the first colt
