among them nine-year-old gray geld
ing called Dandy Jim, sired by Young
jim, a son of George Wilkes. The dam
of Young Jim, by the way, was a high
ly-bred mare, being by Lear's Sir
William, whose sire was Towards Sir
Charles, by Clinton, thoroughbred son
of Sir Archy.
The dam of Dandy Jim is Caprara,
gray mare, bred by II. E. Willis, prop
rietor of Mystic Park track, Medford.
Caprara was by Daniel Lambert. Her
dam was Fanny, whose breeding has
never been traced. None of the wise
ones thought any horse in the field
stood a ghost of chance of beating
Cobwebs. This son of Young Jim out
of the Daniel Lambert mare chased
Cobwebs under the wire in the first heat,
however. in 2:l2, and won the next
three in 2:1l4, 2:l24, 2:l3. This re-
minds us that the first of Young Jim's
get to beat 2 30 was the handsome mare
Butterfly, whose dam was by George
Wilkes, out of Dame Tansey, by Daniel
Lambert.
On the same day that Dandy Jim beat
Cobwebs at Rochester, Pamlico, by
Meauder, dam, Birthday, by Daniel
Lambert, was taking the measure of the
then unbeaten Azote at Terre IIaute in
the 2;l0 trotting class, aud he found it.,
too, before the race was finished. 1t Is
claimed that the track was four seconds
slow that day on account of rain.
Azote won the first heat in 2:ll, but the
handsome little stallion, out of the Lam
bert mare. took the next two in 2:l25,
Pals. The race was then postponed on
account of darkness. The next day
Azote got the first heat of the day and
fourth of the race in 2:094, but the lit
tie Morgan chap was
right there, and he beat the speedy.
game son of Whips out the next heat in
2:1O.
1t is a somewhat singular coincidence
that these two noted sons of Whips
should both get beaten by trotters whose
dams were bred here in New England
and got by the renowned Morgan sire,
Daniel Lambert.
During the past few years we have
several times called the attention of
breeders to the success that daughters
of Daniel Lambert were having in pro-
ducing fast trotters, and suggested that

many breeders in the North, in fact, a
large majority of them, have never half
appreciated the merits of Daniel Lam
bert's daughters, and have allowed
breeders in other sections to come in and
pick them up at low prices and carry
them away.
These same northern breeders have
been running after what was then con-
sidered more fashionable strains. and
have paid big prices for mares not worth
half as much for raising trotters or gen.
tlemen's roadsters from as the Lambert
mares which they did not want. Some
of them are already beginning to see
their mistake. Most of them will in
time. Many of the daughters Of Daniel
Lambert bear a close resemblance to the
daughters of the famous brood-mare
sire Seely's American Star in character
istics, and in the near future are liable
to be as highly priced as the American
Star mares ever were in their palmiest
days.
There are but few of LamherJs daugh-
tiers left, and most of them are pretty
we'll advanced in years. From the time
that David Snow bought Daniel Lam
bert to the death of the horse he got but
comparatively few foals. There are
plenty of mares by sons of Daniel Lam
bert, however, that can be found in New
England, and the best of those which
are out of good dams are worth looking
after.
