FANNY MAPEs.
We notice an article going the rounds of
horse papers stating that Fanny Mapes is
the dam of only two producing sons. Even
the year book so credits her-which, how
ever is only one of its many errors. A
writer in the American Trotter says only two
mares ever attained the distinction of being
the dam of five producing sires, viz, Blan-
dina and Primrose The year book Omts
any mention of Blandina. In 1873 Fanny
Mapes to the cover of Messenger Duroc
produced 10 Gavin 564, sire of Cora Belle
1894, Ollie Drake 2:2719, Walter Drake
2:2S. To the cover of Louis Napoleon
Fanny produced the following: 1876,
Jerome Eddy 2:161S, sire of Fanny Wilcox,
record 1890, 2:2919, reduced 1891 to 2:194;
Lizzemont, record 1890, 2:2515, 1891 re-
duced to $1,000; Bertrina 2:27 Tyco (2-yr)
1927, the latter two entering the list this
year. 1878, Larry w. sire of J. |. X. as a
Ayr. old won a seven heat race and last
heat in 2:24A, Bell ID. $685., Darling $50;
1879, Frank Noble sire of Harry Noble
2:17% (Michigan's fastest four year od),
Billy Gault 2:29H. 1880, George Milo 1888
"a half in 1000 sire of Lou G. 2:2S1S Zen
tered list this year,. 1881, Edmore 1924
sire of Grace ID. 2:31 as 3-yr old and
showed mile in :35, Ill, 2:2S, as a Ayr
old is showing miles under 2:25, can go in
80 list any day, sold last week at auction
for $l750. Fanny has only two living
daughters, viz, Hattie and Lena Mapes.
Hattie Mapes by Abdallah Star has record
of $685. (half 100, is the dam of Lizzie
Mapes trial 2:3l, and of Mapoene that
paced an eighth in IL and a quarter in 40
the day he was IL months old and first time
ever hitched to sulky. Lena Mapes is by
Louis Napoleon. One or both of these
mares are liable to have produce i'm 80 list
this year.
1t will be seen that Fanny has five pro-
ducing sons land virtually six and the near
future will give her two producing daugh-
tiers. Four of these SONS (the fifth one soon
to be added) are by Louis Napoleon, the
greatest son of his famous sire. A feuU
people of late have been saying that Ma
poeon is Of no account as a sire. He re-
plies by saying that in 1890 l had nine i'm
the 80 list, six producing sons and seven
producing daughters. At this date seven
producing sons, eight producing daughters,
with several more about ready to claim same
honOrs. Again, Napoleon says, my daugh-
ter Letitia in her only start as a Ayr old in
1889 won her race in 2:3214; was not worked
in 1890; in 1891 has won two of three starts
and entered list with a record of 2:2S15. Ny
daughter Minnie Drake cher dams all thor
oughbred) produced Ollie Drake that started
only once in 1890 after season of seventy
mares, while yet soft and fat, with one
weeks work, winning first heat i'm 2:271%,
was scored eight times in second heat, sent
off on break, at half mile pole was ten
rods behind winning horse and yet Tapped
him out in 2:2215, trotting last half in 1:O6;
timed two other heats i'm same race i'm 2:22 |
and 2:27 My daughter Myrtle 1925, one |
of the greatest campaigners of 1885, pro-
duced Walter Drake that entered list in |
1891 in 2:2S. My son Reno Defiance 2:291S |
(sire of that wonderful 2-yr. old Reno's |
Baby that made record of 2:2515 and six |
days later paced to a record of 2:24I, feat |
yet unequaled to date by colt of same age) |
sired Prospect 5-yr. old which ,started |
this season with record of 2:47, has won |
every race but one, made a record 2:23A |
and Tapped Prodigal to the half mile pole at |
Saginaw, seventh heat, at 2:20 clip. My |
son Louis r. 1924 produced Lucy M. dam
that has shown mile in 2:22
and enters list 1891 in 2:29%. My 3-yr. old |
son Uncle Sam can beat 1923 any day. Ny |
sons and daughters are honoring me and
ere the close Of the year, barring mishaps,
greater fame and honor awaits me.
