I here insert a table, which will show the extent of the services of

For the years 1873, 1874 and 1875 he was limited, as before, to 

 thirty mares, at $500, and the number of applications was nearly 

 one hundred for each of those years. His services for 1875 were not 

 very successful; but prior to that year the record shows that he pro- 

 duced foals in the ratio of abo\it 69 per cent, of the mares received.

 and twenty-five. 



I have seen the estimate, that a larger percentage of his foals were 

 males than females ; but assuming that he had 700 sons, how small a 

 proportion of them have proved themselves successful sires of trotters? 

 Not four out of each hundred of his sons have been found to have 

 produced a trotter capable of trotting in 2:30,
