316 HAMBLETONIANS — IN-BRED ABDALLAHS. 



Tiieans, and when his mind fastens on a line of breeding that is 

 anchored deep in rich blood, he goes for it, regardless of the cost. 

 His perception of the excellences of a strain of blood are quick; 

 his ideas are clear, and his enthusiasm in pursuing that line is 

 unbounded. Such was the impulsive nature that gave us this 

 borse. With his mind clearly set on the type or character of the 

 horse he desired, he stopped not until he found the mare he 

 wanted, eight hundred miles from his home and business, and he 

 adhered to the line marked out until he had tAvo stallions, fnll 

 l)rothers. Harold, the very popular stallion now owned at Woodburn 

 Farm, by Mr. Alexander, is one; Lakeland Abdallah is the other- 

 Harold shows more of the in-breeding and more of the Bellfounder 

 than Lakeland. He is not so large, but breeds very many equal in 

 size to the largest stallions in Kentncky. His strong and close con- 

 centration of the blood of the two great families of Bellfounder and 

 Abdallah, as found in Hambletonian, make him a popular horse. 



HIS SONS. 



Lakeland Abdallah has one son, named Scott — foaled in 1870. His 

 daiu was by Mambrino Pilot ; second dam by Herr's Boston, son of 

 Boston, and his third dam by Bertrand. He is a large horse, very 

 oompact and muscular — a dark bay; and when I saw him as a four- 

 year-old, he was a horse of very superior trotting action, and was 

 regarded as a young trotting stallion that combined elements of great 

 value. He certainly will make a trotter and a reproducer. 



Another son, owned by Hon. A. M. Herrington, of Geneva, 111., is 

 now three years old, that is a colt of the highest degree of quality. 

 His dam is "Wild Jane, by Little Cassius; second dam Flight by 

 Seely's American Star, and third dam said to be by Nigger Lance, son of 

 Lance by American Eclipse. Little Cassius, by old Cassius M. Clay, 

 from Starlight by American Star. This is the pedigree given for 

 Jane, and supposed to be correct. The colt is about what might be 

 expected from such a union of the blood of Lakeland Abdallah, 

 Cassius M. Clay and American Star. His trotting action and his 

 intense nervous organism is of most surpassing character. 



He has another three-year-old son named Elysian Abdallah. First 

 dam. Roving Nellie, by Strader's Cassius M. Clay; second dam by Ber- 

 thune; third dam by Rattler, by imp. Spread Eagle. He has shown 

 himself already as a fast trotter, and is regarded as one of the most 

 promising young trotting stallions in the Noi thwest. He is owned by 

 Messrs. De Grarte of Janesville, Minnesota.
