832 OTHER HAMBLETONIANS. 



fact that it was trotting blood — it had no galloping traits or instincts 

 — it produced only trotters and roadsters. The section of the coun- 

 try whence it came did not indulge in racing, and the horse wa3

Duke of Brunswick has not been in the stud long enough yet to 

 give proof of his capacity or quality as a sire, but the results of his 

 career will be looked to with great confidence. 



He presents a combination of trotting blood which is not only 

 tempting to the breeder of trotters, but one that carries with it 

 high assurances of successful results. 



GUY MILLER. 



This horse was foaled in' 1856, and was taken to California in I860,, 

 and died soon after that time. He was a trotter of some merit; a 

 large horse; his dam was by Nanny's Bolivar. He produced two sons 

 that have in turn produced trotters in the 2:30 list — Delmonico, and 

 Whipple's Hambletonian. The dam of the former was by Hamble- 

 tonian, and his grandam by imported Bellfounder. He has pro- 

 duced John Murphy Jr., five years old, with a record of 2:25, and 

 three heats in 2:30 or better. 



It must be conceded that this is one instance in which a son of Ham- 

 bletonian has been successful with Bellfounder mares. Delmonico i& 

 strongly in-bred in that blood. His other son, Whipple's Hamble- 

 tonian, was foaled in 1860, in California, and his dam is given as 

 Martha Washington. The only one of that name in the Trottinc/ 

 Megister that could have been his dam, was by Black Bashaw, son of 

 Young Bashaw. This horse has been quite a successful stallion. He 

 has six performers to his credit in the 2:30 list, namely: Ajax,. 

 record of 2:29, two heats; Alameda Maid, 2:27^, four heats; Lady 

 Blanchard, 2:26^, four heats; Lou Whipple, 2:26f, eight heats; Rus- 

 tic, 2:30; and Westfield, 2:26^, and two heats. 



MIDDLETOWN. 



This horse was foaled in 1860. His early owner was D. B. Irwin, 

 of Middletown, New York, and he is now owned in Lancaster county,. 

 Pennsylvania. His pedigree is not authenticated. It was origi- 

 nally entered in the Trotting Register as dam by American Eclipse, 

 grandam by Engineer, but the pedigree thus given has no support. 

 His dam was a grey mare that was noted as being a real good one, 

 but the true pedigree is unknown. Middletown is doubtless a good 

 horse, and it is a matter of regret that the blood of his dam can not
