| The following extract from the American
| Horse Breeder of February Sd, gives the
history of Mr. Chenery'S stallion Edgemark !:
Col. III. 5. Russell, when il California in
1889, saw Edgemark that had taken
a 22l record the previous season as a three
year-old, and won every race in which he
started. He bought the young stallion and
the next year. after he had made the season
in the stud, sent him to the Breeders Meet
ing in Lexington, KY, where trainer Moul-
ton drove him to record of 2.16, which was
then the worlds champion 4-year-old trot-
ting record. Edgemark' dam was by Edge
water, and his second dam by American
Clay, which gave him two thoroughbred
crosses pretty close up. The dam of Edge
water was b. Embry's Lexington, and out
of daughter of old Gray Eagle, while the
dam of American Clay was by imported
Tranby. Edgenlark is now credited with 26
in the $50 list, among them Miss Whitney,
207!, the fastest trotter by the records ever
bred in New England The man who bought
her last week for $1,000 secured a prize for IA
brood mare.
