nounced success. The fastest of his ten trotters 

 is Nomad, 2.19. His sons are poor transmitters 

 of speed, but one of his daughters is the dam of 

 Miss Whitney, 2.07^. The trouble with Smug- 

 gler was that two gaits constantly fought for the 

 mastery in him and that in conformation he was 

 more of a pacer than a trotter. He is an illustra-

 performance, championship form without the 

 power to protect its line from extinction.
