NOTE.-By examination it will be found
that Steinway 2:25A, out of Currency's
dam, held the champion 3 year old stallion
record from August, 1879, to October, 1885,
and is the sire of Cricket 2:l0 (the fastest

consistent race horses out in 1917 Charles
Derby 2:20, Strathway 30, and two more
better than 2:25, Soprano, also out OF Cur
Russell dam of Maud s. and Nutwood, who
ever produced two colts as good as 2 :1Ss4
That Currency's dam is twice entitled to
place in the .tasepas brood mare list--the
most select of all trotting lists. First, by
being the dam of two colts with records
better than :30 and secondly, by having
three colts who have produced 2:30 speed
1t will also be found that Currency is the
only horse in st Landry parish, whose dam
is producer. That he has faster record
than any horse in st Landry; and that his
sire has faster record. and though stand
ing in Illinois to draft and coach mares
the most of his life, has sired faster trot-
ter than the sire of any horse in the par
ish has done.
There are 81 mares that have produced
two 2 30 trotters and three producers. Cur
rencys dam is one of the 81 Only six
mares have produced two colts with rec
ords as good as 2:2S, the sire of six better
than 2 :25, and dams of four in 2 80 list;
and Currency's dam is one of the six. He
is nearly full brother to G. F. Clay 2 u.s. one
of the most popular young sires in Ken
lucky, as his Oldest colts are 5 years old
and among them are Clorine :23JS, Spring
Day 2:261s, and Conner, 2 years old, 2:2914.
