FOREST PARK, 1884. n 



in proportion to the prizes, only getting a trotter of note at long intervals, 

 and probably never more than one or two, in a long life, from the most 

 select mares. Mambrino Patchen has sired a stronger average of trotters 

 under three minutes, down in the twenties, than any horse of his age I ever 

 knew. 



MAMBRINO PATCHEN MARES. 



Mambrino Patchen mares, for brood mares, will be in greater demand 

 than those of his noted sire, Mambrino Chief, whose get are so highly val- 

 ued for brood mares, and are the dams and grandams of so many fast trot- 

 ters. There are but few of Mambrino Chief's daughters now living, and 

 they are old. The reason or proof for the above statement is that Mam- 

 brino Patchen has more in the 2:30 and under list than his sire "Mambrino 

 Chief," breeds more style, and quality, better disposed, clearer of defects, 

 more suitable for gentlemen's road horses, is sire of the finest stallion in the 

 country, has sired more fine stallions and mares than any trotting stallion in 

 Kentucky. 



Since recording MAMBRINO PATCHEN, I have never applied to J. H. 

 Wallace to record any of my stock, leaving it for buyers to record and name 

 to suit themselves. 



PACING MARES. 



Mambrino Patchen makes many hits with pacing mares for speed, and 

 gives them staying qualities, and what is remarkable, it does not matter how 

 many gaits a mare has, pace, rack, trot, roll and tumble, every colt by Mam- 

 brino Patchen will trot square, getting the benefit of the pacing cross with- 

 out having to change the gait from a pace to a trot, as they all come natural 

 trotters.
