PACING ABDALLAH. 267 



for the reason that the saddle gaits were popular in that country than 

 from any idea of raising trotters. In time it transpired that his 

 produce were becoming trotters and showing promise of speed. EVom 

 an old grey mare of unknown blood he produced Sand Hill, a horse 

 that met with an accident and has been a cripple all his life, but has a 

 record of 2:31. Several mares by Pacing Abdallah have been found 

 to be superior roadsters, and have lately been put to breeding, and 

 their produce from other trotting sires are giving great promise of 

 success. Since his produce have begun to attract attention he has 

 passed into the hands and ownership of W. H. Wilson, of Cynthiana, 

 Kentucky, and bids fair to establish his claim to being the most noted 

 instance of a pacing grandson of Hambletonian and a royal member 

 of the household of the Trotting Queen. 



SAINT ELMO. 



This was a brown horse, bred by R. A. Alexander, and the dam 

 was called a mare of Bellfounder blood; but this goes for nothing, as 

 there never was anything to show that she was in any way related to 

 the Bellfounder blood. He made one heat in 2:30, and was since 

 owned by Sprague and Akers, in Kansas, but has not contributed 

 anything to the trotting reputation of the family. He was a good- 

 looking horse, and his stock are generally of good size and form. 



ABDALLAH PILOT. 



His dam was the mare Blandina by Mambrino Chief. He is sire 

 of Red Jim, that at three years old had a record of 2:38, and two 

 heats in 2:30 or better. He is a good-looking, well-formed horse, that 

 shows strength and fine breeding. 



EW alt's abdallah. 



Dixie, better known as Ewalt's Abdallah, is a chestnut stallion (no 

 white), bred by Jos. H. Ewalt, Bourbon county, Kentucky, foaled 

 May 15, 1861; 1st dam Jennie, by Coeur de Leon; 2d dam a French 

 Canadian mare brought from Canada. Coeur de Leon was a French 

 Canadian stalHon, imported from Canada iDy Dr. L. Herr, of Lexing- 

 ton, Ky. The only position assumed by this horse is in being the 

 sire of the dam of the stallion Don Carlos, by Alexander's Norman, 

 which promises to be a fast trotter and a valuable staUion. An 

 account of him will be given in the chapter on Blackwood and 

 Swigert.
