The following from the pen of Captain
r J. Hancock founder of the famous
El.erslie Stud. Charlottesville. Va. and
one Of the deepest students Of blood lines
IN the country. Is clipped from The
Thoroughbred Record" and will doubt |
less be read with much interest:
your California correspondent Eidalgo'
must have been looking through wine |
glasses instead of eyeglasses when he
wrote his last article on the Famous |
Race Mares of America. He mentions |
only about dozen. Certainly he must
have forgotten the famous little mare |
Trifie. len there were Sarah Wash (;
tnston. Fanny Washington ana Sue Wash |
ington, who could hold their own with |
anything he mentioned not excepting Reel
and Peytona. Since the Civil War there |
was Carrie Anterior, whose race with |
Morgan Scout is to this day, belive |
the fastest at four miles even run In the |
Blue Grass country. Old Carrie finish |
ed at Morgan's saddle skirts Then there |
We're Ferida. Ida Stanhope. tanet. by |
Lightning, Jaconet by bennington
Thora Girofe. Nandalite. Annie Bush. |
Bannerette and last and perhaps the !
best. the great Lucresia EorSia Ai5ine |
nnd Eagles should also be mentioned. the
only two mares which could send Planet 4
to his trunlps Albine beat him at four /
miles Then later on were Kat Pea
and Eciiptic. For q fact I think the H. /
lies have more than held their own with
the colts yet buyers from some cause
seem 10 shun them when they are led in
20 the sale ring.
cclone! II. H Chapman. Of the United |
etates Internal Reveue Service. and now
stationed at Nashville, Tenn, but whose /
hurac place is fine estate near Gordons- !
VILE Va. writes ne that his bay pacing /
etaliion Wealth. the son Of Sambetta |
Wilkes and Magnolia. by Norfolk. is Win |
tering nicely. being big. strong and lustT.
Wealth will make spring season at |
Eordonsvile and then be placed in train |
Ing when. # he keeps right. look for
him TO join the 2:ln list Of his great sire |
During the past season this big son OF |
Eambettd Wilkes paced to a record Of |

The Indiana State Fair in August he wa~
timed separately one heat of race in |

few standard performers for 1902. hav-
Ing seventeen to his credit, among them |
being Wealth. while nearly half that num- !
Der that were previously in the list re-
tuced their records. certainly a remark |
abl showing.
