Direct,11n, 2:O51-4 is a black stallion.
about 1914 hands high, foaled 1889, bred
bv John Green of Dublin. Cal, who
leased him TO Monroe Salisbury. under
whose discipline and the mastertui driving
of John Kelly, the youngster became
king of trotters while still a colt. uie
is now owned by William Z. Spler. the
Millionaire paper maker, OF Giens rams
n y and is in service at MS SUBURBAN
Stock Farm. 1t seemed fitting and proper
that among the first natrons To seek
Directum's court should be the Queen
of Trotterdoul. Alix was bred last year,
for the first time, to Directums but the
royal matron failed this year to produce
an heir apparent to the throne. and SO
she will be bred back to him. Ii fortune
fayors who knows but some day the
resulting foal may wear the laurels OF
its sire or dam and be a triumph for
logical breeders.
The force of 1leredity is illustrated in
Directllm as in nearly all of the great
trotters His sire is Director, 2:1I,
worlds champion campaigner and money
winner and sire Of money winners; Win
ner Of twenty-one races out OF twenty
seven starts. including the first $1,000
Charter Oak Stake and the Chicago
Stallion Race. His winnings when
purses We're much smaller than now,
foot up over $21.5OO. He was the greatest
stallion of his time, and in 1898 his colts
won more money than the get OF any
other stallion. Directums dam is Stem

old Dexter. 2:1I IA. whose brother he was.
It is more than a third of a century
since Dexter reduced Flora Temples
record and sold for SS3.CO0 His first
worlds record was made to a wagon,
WHICH blythe way, has never been beaten
and just see how his blood keeps crop
ping out as the years so by. The fol-
lowing is not expected to be a complete list
of all the worlds records that have been
garnered by the Dictator family since
1865 but it is enough to illustrate the
value of the blood to breeders who are
not welded to a pet theory and are after
extreme speed. Viz:
