Another BrOadSide Fired
at Peters NeW Pedigree
Leading Newspaper of the Trotting Turf Devotes Five
Pages to Analysis of Evidence on Which Au-
thorities Acted in Celebrated Case.
BY GURNEY @. CUE.

More than 1--WE pages OF the Horse Re-
uieio are given over to an exhaustive
analysis of the evid ence on which the
Jockey Club and the American Trotting
Register Association recently acted In
accepting for registration the alleged
foal of 1856 by Lexington out OF Edith
by imported Sovereign as one Of the re-
mote ancestors of the renowned trotting
sire Peter the Great. :07h. The writer.
John l. Hervey. who once assisted Col.
S. ID. Bruce In work on the American
Stud Book. and who for thirty years
past has been editor of the Horse Re-
victc, concludes that the constituted au-
thorities blundered beyond the shadow
of a doubt when they accepted the
vague and manifestly muddled attidavits
of two nonogenarians in the face OF
what he aptly terms ''the inherent in
credibllity of the pedigree claimed for
the mare Lady Bess."
In reaching this conclusion the editor
proceeded along the lines followed In
THE New York HERALD last November,
when the present writer checked up the
statements of Jefferson Wells by con-
temporaneous records In the Spirit OF
the Times for 1864 and showed that his
memory was utterly untrustworthy con-
cerning turf events OF nearly seventy
years ago. AS amplified and extended
in the Horse Repieio these records afford
convincing proof that the aged Louisiana
horseman is all at sea, and they amount
to almost a demonstration that Lexing-
ton was not mated with Edith on the
race track at New Orleans the year be-
fore the alleged Lady Bess" was
foaled.
Mr.. Hervey has shown that Lexington
left New Orleans almost Immediately
after the last race between him and
Lecomte at the Metairie course on April
s, 1854, while Edith started fve days
later in a race at the Louisiana course
in the same city. Mr.. Wells's afhdavit
is vague as to the exact time when ne
alleges she was bred to Lexington.
merely saying It was 'after the race be-
The New York herald., 1922-03-12

tween Lexington and Lecomte on April
s." C.. J. Fitzgerald. press representa-
tive OF the Jockey Club, interprets this
to mean that she was bred on the day
OF the race. w. III. Gocher, who Travelled
from Connecticut to Louisiana to OBJ
tain the affidavit but who did not take
the trouble to ask Wells for particulars
on this or any other point In connection
with the matter. says he understands
the mating did not take place on April
s but at later date.
A new and interesting point made in
the Horse RerietU is that Wells's affi-
davit involves the conclusion that Gen.
T. j. Wells, owner of scores IL not
hundreds of riding horses. deliberately
selected one that was "thick In the
wind" to present to his nephew. t. M.
Wells, as a cavalry mount in the Con-
federate army. To account for the
seemingly strange circumstance that the
alleged first foal of the great Lexington
was never trained or raced. Jefferson
Wells had declared that the nebulous
Lady Bess--she with the suddenly re-
membered little white spot behind her
right ear for the Clarksville chorus to
identify her by sixty years afterward-
caught the distemper. which thickened
her wind and made her useless for rae
ing purposes"
Many inquiries have been made by
horsemen interested in the now cele-
brated case concerning the personnel
of the Board of Censors OF the American
Trotting Register Association, by which
the ruling Is popularity supposed to have
been made. It appears that the board
no longer exists. its functions having
been taken over by the stockholders OF
the corporation. Prominent among those
who voted their shares of the capital
stock on the question of revising the
pedigree of Peter the Great was Magnus
Flaws. chief promoter of the Harness
Horse Association. Others present and
voting their stock were w. II. Smol-
linger, secretary of the American Trot-
ting Association; w. s. Harlan of Lock-
hart, Ala, and David M. Look of New
York.

American Horse OtheIo
Not Black and All Black
Confusion About EARLY Thor
oughbred Racing Sire.
To THE New York HERALD:

To THE New York HERALD:
Mr.. William woodward of New York
and Maryland, with the energy and
thoroughness with which he pursues all
affairs, has. innocently enough, caused
the destruction OF a fond tradition
cherished by students of American
thoroughbred pedigrees.
Mr. Woodward is the present owner
OF the historic estate known as
"Belair," in Prince George county.
Maryland. to which place was brought
in the year 1856 an imported thorough
bred horse called Othello. Within a few
years this horse Othello gained celebrity
that has lasted down through the years
that total matter Of seventeen de-
cades. Although the advertisement OF
Othello as a stallion in the year 1856
said that he was a son of Portmore's
Crab and was out of a Hampton-Court
Childers mare, the pedigree in time
seems to have been lost or ignored, and
fiction supplanted fact. For more than
a century the belief has been that our
imported Othello was the English
Othello. commonly called Black and All
Black. who was "a son of Panton's Crab
out of Miss Slamerkin.
80 Sood an authority as the American
Stud Book records this mistake. The
facts are. that the famous racehorse
Othello and the imported Othello were
distinct individuals; that while one
horse arrived in this country during or
before the year 1855. the other was a
public stallion in England and was SO
advertised yearly up to and including
the year 1163 That the imported
Othello was productive stallion In this
country during the years 1756-1763 is
evidenced by his numerous progeny,
among them True Briton, Cade, Young
Othello, Selim, Britannia and others. al
foaled previous to 1860.
Therefore, Mr.. Woodward's question
as to whether the "Belair" Othello AMI
the famed English racer were one, Is
responsible for uncovering long buried
facts which are now made public for the
first time. On him rests the fame or
the blame. JOHN l.. OCONNOR.
NEW YORK, March IL, 1922.
