Zone of the daughters of General
Thomas, mare called Dolly, was
bred to Owosso Prince, the produce
being a mare called Maggie Stone.
She was owned by DR.. Jabez Perkins
of Owosso, and was by him bred, in
1876, to Louis Napoleon, the son of
Volunteer and Hattie Wood (dam
also of Gazelle 1921, Victor Won Bis
! marck and IdoD, by Harry Clay 1929
Louis Napoleon-who stands in his
tory as Volunteers best son, and the
most successful Michigan sire of his
era-was foaled in 1866 and pur-
chased by Dewey andn Stewart and
brought to Owosso in 1872. The
produce of Maggie Stone in 1877 by
Louis Napoleon was a bay filly called
Trixey; and, by the records, she to-
day may deservedly be designated
one of the best trotting matrons that
Michigan has ever produced. She
passed to Mr.. l.. G.. Webb, of Mason,
Mich, who, considerating his limited
operations, has been unusually sue
cessful as a breeder, much of which
success is due to her.
"Of her he wrote, in 1891: "Trix-
ey is a clean-limbed, well-made mare
of great quality and finish She was
very fast as a three-year-old and was
second in Detroit in a field of 1S
starters in 2:45 and 2:46. She
must be a producer and will be in
the great brood-mare list inside of
two years. This prediction was
more than verified FOR that same
season two of her foals entered the
list, Edwyne, trotting to record
of $3.50 and Quickstep, 2, to one of
1927 ga, to high wheels. The latter
was one of the notable two-year-olds
of her year, taking her record at
Lexington in a race in which she
beat a good field. She ultimately
took record of 2:17 ga, and has
produced the trotter Trude B. 1921
Ia.
Youngest of Great Mares.
Besides these two trotters, Trix-
ey is the dam of three others with
standard records. Dixienette 2:17
Ia, Ernestine 2:21 IA and Will
Carlton 1925 IA (sire of three
standard performers)-fve in all, of
which all but Ernestine, who was by
Byerly Abdallah, and Edwyne, by
Bonnie Wilkes, were by Pilot Me-
dunn, the renowned son of Happy
Medium, and old Tackey 1926, by
Pilot, Jr. In 1890, the year after
producing Quickstep, Trixey pro-
duced another filly by Pilot Medium, |
that was called Cricket. She was a
fast and purely gated natural trot- |
ter, but was sold at an early age to |
the late Dean Sage of Albany, n. Y. |
who bred her. when there years old |
