The Family of Electioneer 181 



the fair ground, and the journey to Palo Alto 

 was resumed, where Lady Russell produced, 

 April 5, 1889, a brown colt by Electioneer, which 

 was named Expedition. The colt developed 

 into a horse of speed and a sire of speed. Expe- 

 dition was trained comparatively little, and yet 

 in 1894 he trotted to a record of 2.15!. His 

 brother, Re-Election, and his sister, Electrix, 

 also trotted to records, and their blood is march- 

 ing on. Mary P. Leyburn, out of a pacing 

 daughter of Onward, is the fastest of the 34 

 trotters by Expedition. Her record is 2.nJ. 

 Re-Election has contributed eight trotters and 

 three pacers to the list. 



Norval, 2.14!, dam Norma by Norman, 25, 

 second dam by Todhunter's Sir Wallace, is one 

 of the forcible speed-producing sons of Elec- 

 tioneer. He has 61 trotters and 17 pacers, 

 and 13 of his sons are sires of trotters. In 

 1885 he was bred to Elaine, daughter of Green 

 Mountain Maid, and the result was the brown 

 filly Norlaine, the first of her age to reduce 

 the trotting record to 2.31!. Norlaine, unfor- 

 tunately, perished in a stable fire.

 a record of 2.20^, as a seven-year-old in 2.12},
