and better; Alcyone by George Wilkes
(2:22), sire of Harry Wilkes (2:l3t) and
65 others in the 2 80 list; Alcyone's dam
Alma Mater, dam of four in the same
list; and Joe Alcyone's dam by Daniel
Lambert with SO in the list to his credit.
Third was Senorita by Mambrino King,
sire of Prince Regent (2:l6d), Mocking
Bird (2:171) and others in the list; dam
of Senorita by Hamlin's Almont, Jr., sire
of Belle Hamln (2:12D and 10 others
with records from 2:19t to 2 :293. In the
fourth place was West Point, winner of
the two-year-old stakes of this associa-
ton last season, by Westmont (2:2D.
You cannot always pick the winner by
the doings of his relations.
Another sensation was created by the
trotting of the four-year-old winner,
Hulda B. that lowered the record of the
association at that age from 1854, made
by Dynamite in 1888, to 2 1929. in the
third heat, in which she would have
come home inside of 2 80 il she had not
been taken back to a jog on the home
stretch. Hulda B. is handsome chest
nut FLY by Ben. Franklin and her dam
was by Green Mountain Banner (sire of
Lady Pritchard 2: 21 and Vulcan 2:25)
by Black Banner, son of Black Hawk.
This strongly inbred Morgan was the
winner in her class last season, and it
is no disparagement to any to say that
she is the best four-year-old ever shown
at our meetings. In the form she show
ed she could trot first class mile track
in , 26 and very likely much better. We
look to see her make a very fast record.
She was followed by two other noble
representatives of that great sire that
Vermont breeders have been so unwise
as to let go for half his value to a syndi-
cate of intelligent and discriminating
breeders in Nashville, Tennessee. Atha
owned by r. X Hamilton of Fair Haven,
was second; katisha by Ben Franklin,
dam by Rifleman, by Young Rix by
RiX, son of Black Hawk, owned by Bur-
bank & Williams of Coventry, was third,
making a noble procession of Franklins,
such as, since we have lost the sire, we
cannot expect long to see.
Hattie L., winner in the five-year-old
class, is small, highly finished and
dead game daughter of another son of
Daniel Lambert, Motion (2:29), that
died in 1856, depriving Vermont, as his
stock now shows, of one of the very
best sires that ever stood within her
borders. Hattie l.. was bred by Joseph
LaRock of Middlebury from dam by
the Hemenway horse, son of Vermont
Black Hawk. 1t is meet that her own
ers, Messrs. Sherman and Franklin,
proprietors of the Black Hawk Stock
farm in Bridport, should have for their
first fast trotter produced in this region
an inbred descendant of that great pro-
genitor of speed, beauty and road quality
from which their handsome establishment
takes its name. Hattie l.. showed or
the third day by her performance in the
2 20 class that in this race she did no
60 within five seconds of her limit, al
though she made mistake and let il
