AMERICAN STAR, PILOT, CHAMPION, AND NORMAN. 351 



grandam a fast trotting dun mare, brought from Ohio, pedigree 

 unknown. He was bred by D. Swigert, Spring Station, Ken- 

 tucky, and foaled the property of Andrew Steele, of Scott County, 

 Kentucky. At five years old he was sold to John W. Conley, and 

 by him to Harrison Durkee, of New York, and was afterward 

 owned at Ticonderoga, New York. He made a record of 2:31 

 when three years old, which, at that day, was considered phenom- 

 enal for a colt of that age. His opportunities in the stud were 

 not of the best, but nine of his progeny entered the 2:30 list; 

 eleven of his sons got twenty performers, and twenty -five of his 

 daughters produced thirty-seven performers.
