And Lady franklin was by Esty's
Black Hawk, son of Vermont Black
Hawk, as you, Mr.. Horse Breeder, ought
to know.-ED. REGISTER.
The dam of Monbars was the we'll
known Maine-bred trotting mare Lady
Maud, which got record of 2:lSi in
race where she beat Judge Fullerton and
Nettie in 2lSt, 2:l94, 2:lSa. She was
by Gen. Knox [2:3ld), and was the fast
est, gamest trotter that Knox ever sired.
She got record of 2:22t in the third
heat of a race as five-yearold, and was
the first horse to make so fast record at
that age.
The dam of Lady Maud was a fast trot-
ting mare raised in New Jersey and
brought from New York to Maine by
Mr.. Abner Barrows, now of Bangor that
State. This mare was known as Mock
ing Bird. Mr.. Barrows says she was by
running horse called Sebek and out of
Clay mare. Sebek is given in the Trot-
ting Register as by Logan, son of Henry
the dam seems certain, and 1t is also
probable that Mr.. Barrows is correct in
regard to her sire being a New Jersey
running horse. The pedigree will be in
vestlgated and the facts given to the pub
lie.
Few trotters can show so large pro-
portion of immediate ancestors whose
speed was developed and which gained
fast records as Monbars. He is a small
sized, compactly made brown colt, that
as before stated showed remarkable trot-
ting speed when following his dam, and
has improved rapidly ever since he was
broken to harness. 1t is claimed that as
a yearling with only fifteen days hand
ling he trotted quarter in 3Si seconds
to road cart.
Monbars is in the hands of Budd Do
BILE, one of the most careful trainers in
the country, who has already beaten the
two-y ear-old trotting stallion record three
times this season up to date, first placing
it at 2 20, then reducing it to 2:l9I, and
finally bringing it down to pisa last
week. This is II seconds faster than the
best record ever made by any other two
year-old trottng stallion, and only three
fourths of second slower than the
worlds record of that age (2:lS) now
held by Sunol.
1t is not improbable that before tn,
close of the Lexington, Ky, meeting
which opens on the 18th inst. Monbar,
VIII have earned the double title, king o
two-year-old trotting stations, which
distinction he already enjoys, and cham
pion two-year-old trotter of the world.

full-blooded racer; was imported in
May, 1896, from London, by Abraham
Skinner. He is beautiful bay, hand
somely marked, ten years old, rising ID
hands and three inches high, free from
all blemishes, full of bone, proportion
able shape, symmetry and fine action;
remarkable small head, with lively, an
mating countenance, and allowed by the
best Judges in pedigree and performance
to be one of the best breed, and complet-
est stations of racer, that has been inn
ported in America. 1t is ascertained
from the Sportsman's Magazine, pub
lished in England, that when the noted
horse Baronet won the great OAKLAND
stakes of 400 guineas, in the year l79l,
that the horse Express was next to Bar
onet, and which crowded him so hard as
to be Tapped on the Baronet as he came
out at the end of the race; was clearly
beat by Creeper in July of the same
year. Creeper was purchased of Thomas
Bullock, Esq, and on account of his re-
markable strength, speed and figure, cost
double the sum of any horse that has
been imported and covered mares in the
State of New York for ten years past.
This is to certify that the bay horse
called Creeper, this day sold to Capt.
Abraham Skinner, was got by Tandem,
out of Harriet, by Matchem, Flora by
Regulus, Bartlet's Childers, Bay Bolton,

BY ALEXANDER.

Mr.. f. F. Brownell's excellent young
son of Alcantara also came in for large
share of the honors of the New England
Breeders meeting. His two-year-old
son, Prince Alexander, took pacing rec
ord of ~ against time, and his three
year-old daughter, Annacander, was
fourth in the great battle for that age,
and was timed separately four times in
better than 80. This record of Prince
Alexander is, we think, the first New
England two-year-old pacing record as
fast as 2 80, and is high honor for any
siX-year-Old sire.

TROTTING RECORDS SMASHED.

Adviccs from Stockton, Cal, under
date of eth inst, state that the record
breaking meeting commenced on the
kite-shaped track ut this point yesterday,
and two worlds records were lowered.
For The first time Marvin came out be-
hind the famous Palo Alto two-year-old
stallion Ariou, by Eectioneer, dam, Man
cite, by Nutwood (2:lSi), entered to
beat his record of , 81, made in IA race at
the State fair a few weeks ago. Arion
was accompanied by Il running mate aud
went off easily. lie trotted the first
quarter in 3l4, the half-mile in :05 flat,
the three-quarters in :4l4, and made
the mile in 2:l5i, thus beating the
worlds two-year-old trotting record of
2:lS, held by Sunol.
Marvin then brought out the yearling
Bell Bird, by Electioneer, dam, Beauti-
full Bells g :29), by The Moor, to go
against Claraign for purse, and to beat
the worlds yearling record of 2:29i
The filly acted systematically and led to the
quarter post in 374 seconds, half-mle
post in :l34, three-quarters in :5O4, and
mile in :27i. beating the worlds record
by two seconds.
Senator Stanfords stallion Electricity
by Electioneer, dam, Midnight, the dam
of Jay-Eye-See (2:lO), lowered his rec
ord from , % to 2:l74.- Exchange.
And when we learn whether all this
was at Regular Meeting, and whether
the rules we quoted last week were COM
piled with, we shall know whether any
record was really smashed" or not.

SUE GIllIG. 2:25A4.

1t is worthy of remark that the Ver-
mont three-year-old record should have
passed from the :3l4 of Gillig to the
2:254 of his first foal, Sue Gillig, both
bred by w. W. Moore of Shoreham. The
pluck, speed and courage shown by Sue
in the great race at the New England
Breeders Meeting at Mystic, starting in
field of ten of by far the best colts of
her age ever brought together in New
England, winning second and third heats
in = :274 and :254, and showing the finest
exhibition of speed of the whole race in
the fifth after a bad send-off and losing
break, mark her as the greatest filly of
her age that Vermont has yet produced.
Gi.lig is the first Vermont, and we believe
the first New England, bred sire to be
represented in the 2:30 list as young as
six years.
