The Moor, who sired Beautiful Bells, died at 

 the age of eight, and among the six trotters

 horse of commanding appearance, foaled in 1875 ; 

 dam Sultana by Delmonico by Guy Miller, an 

 inbred son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian ; second 

 dam Celeste by Mambrino Chief ; and third dam 

 by Downing's Bay Messenger. He sired 42 

 trotters and 10 pacers, and 21 producing sons 

 and 22 producing daughters, and died at Ab- 

 dallah Park, Cynthiana, Kentucky, having been 

 sold by Mr. Rose to W. H. Wilson. The most

 Oakland Baron, 2.09^-, Lucy R., 2.i8J, and Semi-

 an optimist, and the stallion was kept constantly 

 before the public. A glamour was thrown around
