LORD CLINToN's PEDIGREE.

VIC arc HdDDJ W UO dUlC W StdlC tlldl
the Wallace Monthly at Chicago has
made partial reparation for its publica-
ton of a FOOLS dribble concerning the
pedigree of Lord Clinton 2:l04 by in
sorting in the June number the follow
ing statement and affidavit;
"The evidence on which the pedigree
of the horses referred was published IN
the Year Book for 1892 was obtained
from j. f. Biscoe of Little Rock, Ark,
in answer to a circular sent out in the
fall of 1891, and consists of the follow
ing letter, dated October |, 1891: Lord
Clinton was bred by myself, sired by
Denning Allen. His dams name IS
Fannie, brown mare, fifteen hands high,
--~"t and muscular.
star IN lace, very s.o~-
Lord Clinton is seven years old next
spring, is black or dark mahogany, with
star in face, and think white on one
hind foot. Was never trained until last
fall" (Signed) j. E. BIsCOE.
Mr.. Biscoe also forwarded a printed
circular giving description and pedigree
of Denning Allen, in brief as follows;
Ebay horse, black points, with both
hind feet white; foaled 1874; sired by
Honest Allen. First dam Rena, by
Flying Cloud. A pencil memorandum on
the circular is: "Bred to |. b. Bowman,
Lexington, Ky" "Owned by E. Rice,
Little Rock, Ark"
Since the above article was written,
Mr.. G.. F. Martin, of Little Rock, Ark,
visited the office of the Register asso-
citation and made the following affidavit,
which still further substantiates the
claim that Lord Clinton 2:lOi was sired.
by Denning Allen:
STATE OF ILLINOIS, &C
COUNTY OF COOK.
CT. Martin OF Little Rock, Ark, agent OF
Nelson, Morris & Co., Chicago being first
duly sworn, deposes and says; ,aoo
That on or about November !, lego' ne pur,,
Clinton, from James ketts, a Drother-in-law OF
j. f. Biscoe, a resident OF Little Rock Ark,
an l the breeder of said horse. Affiant pos
itvely swears that he has known the horse
now called Lord Clinton from the time he
was n sucking colt running at the SIDE OF MS
dam, and saw said colt every few weeks until
the time he was purchased by afiant. That
said horse was always claimed by his breed
err j. +. Biscoe, to have been sired by Den
ming Allen. That Dennng Allen, at the time
OF the service OF the dam of Lord Clinton,
was owned by DR.. Rice, veterinary surgeon,
OF Little Rock, Ark, and that said DR.. Rice
has repeatedly told this af1iant that the horse
Lord Clinton sired by Denning Allen,
and was ont of the mare Fanny formerly
owned by DR.. Bracacher, and atterward own
ed by j. f. Bscoe, who bought her from Dr.
Bracacher for a brood mare, after she had
been driven Tor many years on tne stNeets Oh
Little Rock. Affiant further states that there
are hun ireds OF residents OF Little Rock,
Ark, who are personally aware OF the tacts
as herein set forth. Affiant further swears
that he is not pecuniarlly or otherwise in
terested at the present time in any OF the
produce OF Fanny, the dam of Lord Clinton,
and in no manner interested in Denning Al
len, further than he owns a buggy horse
sired by Denning Allen, and said horse is not
possessed OF any marked speed. Further
afilant saith not.

Little Rock, Ark.
This evidence exactly comedies with
what we got ourselves at Little Rock.
and very effectually settles the question
of the breeding of Lord Clinton, although
the editor of the Monthly, who, we
should Judge from his efforts, is a child
doesn't know enough to know it. We
can, however, accept the intention of the
editor and the Monthly to tell the
truth, although they may not have in
telligence enough to measure the STUFF
furnished by their correspondent, kline
the world is full of at its true value.
