Dictator has forced himself to the
front under the circumstances the
most discouraging. He langlushed III
obscuritv until he was an Old horse.
At thirteen years of age he was
brought to kentucky, having up to
that time but thirty-nine foals, and at
twenty years of age he had gotten less
than two hundred foals, and Only a
few of them were out OF we'll bred
mares. Yet about one-third of these
we're entered in the 2:3O list or have
been progenitors of 2:30 performers.
Such a showing must make an impress
SION r on the thonrhtful breeder.
Hisannearance in Kentucky attract
cd no aftention and his first years
Service comprised four pay mares, and
the season Was eked out with mares
bred on the shares, few of which could

these mares were not considered valu-
able enough to authorize the expendi-
ture Of a service fee. His second and
third s. seasons a were even wore discour-
aoino than the first. and he was re-
tI7rned to New JERSEY for want of
patronage and there remained in re-

'01s2I, 1Thnn Dictator was afforded an
aouaI chance with the best stations,
bd b far surpassed them in results, for
instance:
ONT of Dolly. Ecbert got Czarina
2.21. Alexander's Abdallah got Thorn

ward 2:25I: Almont got Winona and
McsCa. no records; Dictator got Direc
tor 2:l7.
Out of Betsy Trotwood, George
Wilkes cot Fuga, no record; Harold
cot Elfrida. no record; Dictator got
Pballas 2:133.
Ont of Midnight. Belmont got
Beaumont. 2:3O; Harold got Noontide
, .2O1: Electioneer got Electricity
2:24$. Dictator got Jay-Eye-See, 2:lO.
In these three noted cases, WneTe
Dictator had an equal chance with
such sires as George Wilkes, Belmont,
Harold, Alexanders Abdallah, Elec-
tioneer, Almont and Egbert, he has
not only produced more speed, but a
class of race horses which none Of
them equal. One such instance would
carry little weight, but three eliminate
the idea of chance.
For extreme speed united with
courage and level heads, the Dicta-
tors o1Itrank all other horses. As perfect
race horses: theirs was the commanding
nOsition before the second generation
anneared. but the triumphs of Mar
Daret S.. Nancy Hanks, and Direct
Rave indelibly stamped the Dictator
