338 ABDALLAHS. 



Dam of Abdallah Roelmck was Lady Washington, by Washington, by 

 H'apoleon, by Young Mambrino, by Chancellor, by Mambrino. 



Dam of Chancellor by imported Messenger. 



Dam of Napoleon by American Commander, by Commander, by imported 

 Messenger. 



Dam of Young Mambrino by Duroc. 



Dam of American Commander by imported Light Infantry, and he by the 

 celebrated English Eclipse, and his second dam by Childers. 



Dam of Abdallah Chief by Philips, he by Duroc, his dam by Messenger, 

 his 2d dam by Saltram. Second dam of Abdallah Chief ))y Decatur, he by 

 Sir Henry, son of Sir Archy, dam by imported Diomed, Decatur's dam by 

 American Eclipse. 



Abd-el-Kader embraces many lines of the blood of imported Messenger, all 

 coming through the best sources, and crossed with strains of the blood of 

 English Eclipse, Childers, imported Light Infantry, imported Diomed, Sir 

 Archy, Duroc, Hemy, American Eclipse, Decatur and Saltram — names most 

 distinguished in English and American Turf history. No more highly or 

 better bred trotting stallion can be found anywhere. He was foaled in 1861, 

 is a blood bay, with a little white on each left foot ; is full 16 hands high, and 

 as a horse of faultless symmetry, high breeding and unrivaled beauty, can be 

 shown in any company. He is untrained, but shows superior trotting action, 

 breeds large, and almost uniformly bays, closely resembling himself in marks 

 and general form. All his colts are very blood-like in appearance, and their 

 trotting action is yery superior. Like himself, they are all perfectly kind and 

 docile, eyen when they have come from vicious and untamable mares. 



He is now doing' service at Peru, Indiana, and has one son that 

 is no discredit to him as a sire. Tliis son is now three years old 

 and the description of the sire will apply to the son, except that the 

 latter has no white and is a darker but very rich bay. 



The following is his pedigree: 



Euripides. — Bay stallion, foaled 1875 by Abd-el-Kader; first 

 dam Abby Bacchante, by Lakeland Abdallah; second dam Mambrino 

 Bacchante, by Mambrino Chief; third dam Grey Bacchante, by Down- 

 ing's Bay Messenger; fom-th dam by Whip Comet; fifth dam by Grey 

 Messenger, he by Dove, by Saratoga, by imported Messenger. The 

 pedigree of Grey Messenger in full, is given in the Chapter on Ham- 

 bletonian. 



This colt, I may say, is regarded by those who have seen him as 

 worthy of his high breeding. As he and his sire are owned by my- 

 self, I only include this reference to them from the feeling that they 

 have too much merit individually and as descendants of Abdallah 

 Chief to pass unnoticed. »
