WESTMONT, 2:24.

Westmont is a bay stallion by Col.
West, son of Almont. The dam of this
horse is recorded in Wallace, vol. o,
page 81, by Mambrino Sherman, son of
Mambrino Chief.
The following letters show this record
to be incorrect, and also show that no
system of recording is complete or in
deed of much value, or more than half
value, that does not give the breeders of
dams as well as of horses. The stallion
himself is none the better or none the
worse for his fraudulent pedigree on the
dams side, but students of the ,combina-
ton of crosses are interested to have
this pedigree corrected. We ourselves
should much prefer to have a dam run
to thoroughbred crosses than to the
coarseness that belonged to Mambrino
Chief:
BRECKENRIDsE, Mo-, Feb. 4, 1890.
JOSEPH BATTELL, ESQ,
Dear Sir:-Mr. Richard HarlOn has
referred your letter to me and L will
merely state that it is impossible TO do so
from the fact that Fanny. the dam of
Westmont (trotterS, has no pedigree. |
understand she is claimed by Mambrino
Sherman; this is a great mistake, yes, |
might say n fraud 1t was merely given
for a purpose and that purpose was to
sell Westmont. | happen to know all
about this matter; W. w. Abbott of st.
Joseph, Mo-, bought Westmont of Mr..
Harlon when a yearling, and in order to
give him a pedigree on the dams side he
patched up the Mambrino Sherman
theory, and it seems it has meyer, as
have learned, been disputed until now
Abbot is dead and now the truth ought
to be known. Had l been consulted, any
time within the last ten years, about this
matter, | would have stated the facts
lust as | do now. Westmont's dam
Fanny was sired by a horse called Wild
Bill nc one, not ever his owner, knows
anything of his breeding.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir:-Mr. Harlon requests me tG
. write you in regard to Westmont's dam
. she is by Wild Bill, a running-bred horse
Mr.. Abbott said that she was by Nam
brine Sherman, but that is a,mistake. Mr.
Harlon bought her of Jacob Downing
breckenridge, Mo. He has a sorrel mare
nine years old out of the dam of West
mont by Rob Lexington, a cunning bret
horse. She is a good mare and show:
lots of trot; she is bred to my horse
, Calm 925G and 7 bought Ibis colt.
enclose you one OF my bills. i feel al
interest in Westmoht and | would like
to know more about him. Any intorma
ton that you want from this part of the
country call III me and | will give it tC
you cheerfully. Please give the particu
lars about WestmOnt.
