Star. He at first wished TO breed her to
Electioneer, but on account OF his lack OF
size and from the fact that his dam was by
Harry Clay, he chose Abdalah Star. Fam
ny Mapes was naturally very fast, but In
some way sustained an injury which inca
FACILITATED her for training, and so shc was
bred. Her first foal was bay horse colt by
Messenger Duroc, and was named Joe Gavin.
He has never been trained, but in his exercise
has shown speed enough to warrant the
belief that he could trot very fast. He Is
the sire Of Cora Bell, 2:29%, and other
promising colts. Her second foal was a
bay mare by Abdallah Star. She was brok-
en- as three-year-old and bred to Louis
Napoleon. She has produced five foals to
Louis Napoleon, one 10 Furor "a brother to
Fugue, 2:19H) and one to Jerome Eddy.
We know that two of them were trained
little last year and trotted close to $3.50.
She was only trained sixty days, and that
was after she had produced four foals She
was put in one race, and on a half-mile
track won the third heat in 2:33jS, trotting
the last half in 1:10. In this race she
showed so much speed that her trainer tried
to induce Mr.. Dewey to give her season
on the turf, and predicted she would trot
very fast, but she was in foal, and the
record she had acquired made her standard,
and she has never had harness on since.
We predict she will next year have two
of her produce in the $50 list. Fanny's
third foal was by Louis Napoleon, and he
is called Jerome Eddy, 2:16h. He had a
short but brilliant turf career, and was sold
to ii. G. Jewett & Co., of Buffalo, n. Y.
and Is at the head of the celebrated Jewett
Farm Stud.
Her next foal was bay FLY by Louis
Napoleon. She was called Lena Mapes, and
was sold to II. C. Mcdowell, and is in
the Ashland harem. She has a iilly by Die
tatOr which Mr.. Mcdowell informs us has
shown great speed, and which will be
trained next year. Her next foal was by
Colonel Fisk, and it died at an early age.
Her next foal was bay colt by Louis Ma
pOleOn called Larry w. He was sold as
yearling to Texas parties, and is the sire of
the great four-year. old PAGER j. l. r., which
last July distinguished himself by winning
an eight-heat race, and acquiring record
of 2:24X in the fourth heat Her next fOal
was bay colt by Louis Napoleon which
was called Frank Noble. He is owned at
Augusta, Mich, and last year one of his
three year-old colts called Harry Noble
trotted to record of 2:26X. Her next foal
was bay colt by Louis Napoleon called
George Milo. He trOtted with little prepa-
ration to record of 1888. This was
accomplished on poor half-mile track and
is no indication of his speed, he having
trotted in public half-mile in 100. Her
next foal was a bay colt by Louis Napoleon
called Edmore. He is owned by DR.. Gal
braith, of Pontiac, Mich, and is the sire of
a twO-year-old flly which last fall, with six
weeks work, trotted q half-mile track i'm |
2:46. Her next foal was bay filly by Louis |
called Dolly Mapes, which died at |
an early age. This is in brief the history |
of great brood mare. She has had ten |
fOals, eight of which are living. One has |
record of 2:161S, one has q record Of o:33,
and one has record of 2:3SX, which was
acquired on half-mile track after only six
weeks preparation, and while in fOal.
Three of her sons have produced three colts
which have fast records. One of them as o
trotted in 2:26lS, another as q
four-year-old paced III 2:24&, and the third
IS fve-year-old won holly contested race
IN half-mle track in 2;2eE. In addition
20 this, one of her daughters, which Is by a
horse of little reputation, has
produced two daughters which with part of
. seasons training have trotted close TO $50.
Alexander's Abdalah mares have given
birth to twenty trotters and two PAGERS.
Fanny Mapes Is the dam Of jerome Eddy,
,:16X, the fastest performer from an Alex
lnder's Abdallah mare. Her record az
producer now stands with three trOtters,
md three sons which have produced 2:30
performers. This would entitlc her toa
high rank among the most famous brood
mares, but we predict that at the close of
he ensuing season she will be the dam OF
our or five sons which will have sired $50
and two daughters whose prog
my will have records better than $50.
Fanny Mapes is destined to occupy a high
,lace in the esteem of all thoughtful breed
