RICHMOND INBRED HORSES.
Our Richmond stations Bourbon Baron
(owned by III. q. Chamblin, OF Whitby
stock farm) and Willis Che property of
Preston Belyin of Acca stock farm are
products Of lncestuous breeding. Bourbon
Baron was sired by Baron Wilkes. 21o, son
of George Wilkes, out of Ariadne, daugh-
ter OF George Wilkes Willis owes ms pater-
nifty 10 Jay Bird by George Wilkes while
his dam Mild May is by Jumps, 2:2l, an
otner son OF George Wilkes. Both Bour-
bon Baron and Willis are trotters, and
their get promise well also. The well-knOWn
thoroughbred chestnut stallion Brennou, |
bred by Mr.. w. W. MicbauX, Of PoWbatan, |
afterward owned by tho late W. Roane |
Ruffin. Of Chesterfield, who sold him 70 Dr. |
w. h. Adams0n, OF the same county, whose /
property he died in 1890, was another specl- |
men of inoreeding. sired by Orion lson OF /
Revenue and Nina by Boston, out OF a Deu- |
Gallon mare. the latter horse being |
also n son Of Revenue Brennan probably |
contributed more trottng speed to his de-
scendants out Of all classes OF mares than !
any thoroughbred stallion that ever stood |
in this section. the majority OF his get
making fnO drivers. some of them quite |
speedy. The Chemist mare, Fanny Wick /
ham now owned by DR.. Judd B. Wood, OF
this city. and used as roadster by him
out of his half sister, Ida. by ORION, trotted |
a trial in 2:43. and several Others could beat
three minutes.
The foregoing are prominent examples OF
the value OF inbreedng. and while It IS
matrimonial in the transmission of good 4
traits it is equally true that il intenslhes
undesirable qualities in the offspring as well.
