1872 (Burr's) second dam by Abdallah l.
Guy Miller's dam was Sharpless Abdallah
by Abdallah l. Martha Washington was
the dam of two sires of eighteen trotters
and of the dam of two performers.
Andy II. is full brother to Steve Whip
pie, bay IN color, l5.39 hands high, and
Is as handsome a horse as a horseman
could imagine. He resembles the Nor
gans more than his illustrious brother in
appearance, but is even an improvement
on them. He has never been trained for
speed. His colts are all large, heavy
boned and handsome.
Voter, the subject of our other illustra-
ton, is a dark mahogany bay horse foaled
in 1885, and is 1924 hands high. To sum
up his description, we will only repeat
the words of Chas. Marvin: " He is an
Electioneer all over, and if stay in Cal
ifornia | would like to handle him; he
will make very fast and reliable cam
paigner. His disposition and easy way
of going suit me- Voter is by Elect.
out of Twist, the dam of Steve Whipple,
etc. Elect (sire of Elect Moor, 2:27) is
by Electioneer out of Inez by Nordale;
second dam Lizzie, by Williamson's Bel
mont; third dam fine mare brought to
California from Kentucky, and repre-
scented to be thoroughbred; Nordale by
Norfolk, dam Blue Dale by Owen Dale +;
Norfolk by Lexington, dam Noyice by
imported Glencoe; owen Dale by Will
lamson's Belmont, dam Maria Downing,
| by American Eclipse.
Voter has never been handled for speed,
but will be given to a good trainer next
year.
The other stallion that will add glory
to the name of Twist, the dam of Steve
Whipple. is PrindeX, by Dexter Prince.
A fine-looking Dexter Prince he is, and
resembles his sire in every particular,
color, markings, size and beauty.
The last colt that Twist had was by
Campaign, the Electioneer-Lilie S. (by
Homer stallion at Stockton. He is called
Politician and resembles his sire IN color
and conformation.
Twist is about u 2 hands in height, a
bright bay in color, fine neck, head, ear
and eye, wide jowls, pretty muzzle. her
limbs of the best shape imaginable. She
has a short back, but beneath the barrel
she is remarkably long elbows and stifie
stand out strong. There is no appearance
of grossness about her; she is a splen,
did specimen of a typical brood mare
She was never worked for speed, for
like Green Mountain Maid, HAlma Mater
Minnehaha and other great mares, she
seems to be possessed of too much OF
that nervous energy to be controlled long
enough TO make her useful as a roaC
mare. That she is possessed of speed
one can be convinced by driving the
band of mares around the enclosure
with head erect. tail extended, she trOt'
around like -year-old One pecul
iaritv about her is that her colts all re
semble their sires with the exception OF
one, Andy II. Steve Whipple is a Whip
pie Hambletonian, PrndeX is a Dexter
Prince, Voter is an Electioneer, whit
Politician is son of Campaign from tn
cOronets to the ears. She is now in fOa
to Director. and, as Mr.. Salisbury says
s'she is the kind he likes to breed the ole
horse to-; it is inferred that he must ais
have been charmed with her appearance
