Nellie, is grand individual by Nutwood
Prince, 2.27f, son of Nutwood :. l83, while
his second dam, The Banshee, was by
Bronson 1lO4O. son of Cuyler Clay, third
dam by Legatee (thoroughbred).
I tried to purchase this mare at two
years old, from Mr.. D. M. Cochran, for
5000, but the offer was refused. 1 liked
her then and still believe her to be one
of the worlds greatest brood mares. 1
also believe her to be a 2.1O trotter, in
good hands.
R. T. C.'s sire is Prince March, 2.l3f.
l gave him his record and drove him in
every race he ever started in. I also
marked bis son, Prince March Jr., in
2 LIT, and was never behind the money
but one with the two, and that was with
Prince March Jr.

world beater in bis day, Prince March,

his second owner. notwithstanding his
breeding and latent speed. His present
owner and myself developed him into a
great raceborse and great sire.
The greatest of all bis foals so far is R.
T c., the "pIow hNrse." He first came
to my notice on the public road while
riding with my wife and driving Bohemia
Girl, 2.154, to a light two seated buggy.

there R. 7. c., 2O62, Charley Mitchell,
2.O43, and some other "no account" half
mile track trotters, met. Well, Free
Mason, 2l9f, driven by Aaron Tyson of
Wilmington, Del, aud owned by the
genial Howard T. Wallace aforementioned,
won all the laurels. R. T. C. quit with
the red flag in the second heat and went
to the barn. l came home with 500

in the race. R. T. G. hit his knee on the
