hdy W., lHe SPECIFY MOHLdllt Iildie I,
whose racing career has been clouded
by suspicion ever since her introduction
to the Chicago tracks in 1897, is now un-
der an even greater cloud than ever be-
fore. This time it is question of her
breeding and investigation may result
in the mares being barred from all
legitimate race tracks in this country
and Owner Don Cameron being forced
to surrender her earnings for IL months
past. May w. is registered in volume
of the stud book as by imp. Eagle
Plume, dam Froila (Sangaroo), by
Faustus, dam Bonnie Bruce, and has
been racing throughout the West under
this breeding. Information comes from
the Prather farm, near Marysville, Mo.
where Faustus is owned and has stood
for years that Froila, by Faustus. dam
Bonnie Bruce, broke her leg as a year
ling, and was destroyed in 1884, and
Il At Sa 's iroo, represented in the stud
book as another name for Froila, was in
fact a different mare, not the produce
Of Bonnie Bruce. The question now is:
WI. mare foaled May W., and was she
a thoroughbred? The facts concerning
the case, in the language of the breed
ers, are as follows:
/ would call your attention to an err
ror in volume Z, page 1885, of the Ameri-
can stud book. which reads as follows:
Frola (Sangaroo), CHI. M, foaled 1888,
by Faustus, dam Bonnie Bruce by
Scottish Eclipse, second dam Lady
Woodford, by Woodford.
Produce in 1898 b. f. Plumeria, by imp
Eagle Plume.
Produced in 1894 b. f. May W., by
imp. Eagle Plume.
The above is not correct, as Froila
and Sangaroo are two separate and dis
tinct mares, as you may see by the fol-
lowing produce of Bonnie Bruce:
Produced in 1882 b. c., by Iowa AL
mont (trotter).
Produced in 1883 CHI. f. Frolia, by
Faustus killed in 1884.
Produced in 1884, barren, to Faustus.
Produced in 1885 The Moonstone, by
Faustus (geded.
Produced in 1880, barren. to Faustus.
Produced in 1887 oh. c. Bobby Beach,
by Faustus.
Bonnie Bruce died in 1887, and Froila
had her leg broken in August, 1884, and
ling. on the farm of the breeder, S. w.
Briggs, of Marysville, Mo.
Sangaroo was CHI: m: by Faustus,
whose dam was Little Maud, not
thoroughbred. She was foaled in 1885,
and was owned and bred by A j. Waltz
of Marysville, Mo-, who sold her to D.
c. Reynolds, who took her to Montana
in 1889.
The above statements can be verified
by referring to the following parties:
Mrs. S. w. Briggs Albert Briggs, John
M. Howenbodler. e. E. e. McJimpsey,
Elmer Frazier, G. S. Baker, M. Naus-
haum, A. J. Waltz, B. V. Prather and
G. A. Mulholland.
From this statement it would appear
that May w. has been racing under a
false pedigree, and the known history
of the mare lends color to the charge.
In '96 she raced over the Montana
tracks, in Milwaukee and at the Oakley
tracks, as out of Sangaroo, and when
Don Cameron wanted to race her at
Ideal park in the fall of SO Secretary
Williamson informed him he must es-
tablish her breeding and her right to
race before she could start at that track.
At that time May w. was not registered
in the stud book, and her owner seemed
in doubt as to whether he could obtain
proof that her dam had five uncontam-
mated crosses. But he went to work
diligently and the following year, when
he appeared at Harlem, he had a certi-
ficate from Colonel Bruce, showing May
VS. registration as by Eagle Plume
Froila. On the strength of this the mare
was permitted to start, and she has
raced at the Harlem, Hawthorne, In
gleside and Oakland tracks regularly
since then. Under what representations
Colonel Bruce registered the mare is
yet to be developed, but it is probable
that Don Cameron will be asked to ex-
plain by the racing officials at Oakland
and Ingleside before May w. is allowed
to start again.
