Dorothy Axworthy was bred by General B. F. 

 Tracy, who was Secretary of the Navy under Presi- 

 dent Harrison. As her name implies, she was by 

 Axworthy, out of Dorothy T. by Advertiser, a grand- 

 son of the old race mare Lula, 2:15, and out of 

 Hannah Price, the dam of Lesa Wilkes, 2:09. 



In due time Dorothy Axworthy became the 

 property of A. B. Coxe. He bred her to Peter the 

 Great in 1913 and 1914. In 1914 she produced 

 Worthy Peter and in 1915 Chestnut Peter. As a

 eight out of nine starts with him. Chestnut Peter 

 was given a time record of 2:12 as a two-year-old 

 while in 1918 he made eight starts in the Grand 

 Circuit and was retired after pulling up lame at

 to his credit. 



Chestnut Peter made his first start in July at 

 North Randall, where he finished second to Hollyrood

 where he was purchased by C. W. Leonard of Boston 

 for $25,000, at Toledo in 2:0714 from Hollyrood
