ed as being bred by Dr. H. Z. Frisbie of Elkland, 

 Pa., and owned by Cramer. This mare was never 

 identified but Frisbie admitted that he never saw 

 her and knew nothing about her. 



In 1920 Cramer and Metcalfe shipped a few more 

 to Denmark. This lot included King Ivan, subse- 

 quently identified as Manuelito 2:14% by Manrico, 

 and two mares named Loretta Charlton and Alice 

 Jeremiah, alleged to be sisters and bred by Bert 

 Loop of Nelson, Pa., which is five miles from Elk- 

 land. Dr. Frisbie was given as the breeder of King 

 Ivan while some one wrote a letter for Loop to 

 Copenhagen, in which it was set forth that he owned 

 a three-year-old brother to Loretta Charlton and 

 Alice Jeremiah which he drove in 2:121/4 over a half- 

 mile track. 



Bert Loop was the son of a man who kept a livery 

 stable in Nelson. Later he had a barber shop in Elk- 

 land and Elmira, N. Y. He owned a few horses, the 

 fastest being Donisham 2:09% which he purchased 

 from L. W. Fenton. Fenton died in 1917 but was 

 for a time associated with Metcalfe.

 showed her to be a five-year-old in 1920. A change
