1t is now recognized fact among
breeders that the doubling up of Ham
bletonian blood is almost certain to pro-
duce good results, care being of course
taken that the individual horses CON
cerned are as nearly ply sically perfect as
possible. There has been a good deal of
talk regarding what other strains of blood
have done as an ''out cross" for Rys
dyk's Hambletonian. This was the case
with the blood of American Star, Mani
brine Chief, and one or two other horses.
But it now stands out prominently that
Hambletonian blood itself has produced
some of the greatest trotters and best
sires when doubled on itself.-Mirror &,
