THE LOST TROJAN. 339 



HIS DAUGHTERS. 



The branch of the family of Abdallah represented by Jupiter 

 Abdallah, although in the male line from another family, is deserving 

 of especial notice. 



Jupiter Abdallah was by Jupiter, and he by Long Island Black- 

 hawk, son of Andrew Jackson, a member of the Bashaw family, which 

 will be considered in Chapter XIX. Jupiter was strong in the blood 

 of Messenger. His dam was Gipsy by Almack, and he was a son of 

 Mambrino. In him the families of Mambrino and Young Bashaw were 

 united, and in Jupiter Abdallah the blood of Abdallah was introduced 

 in a double current. 



The dam of Jupiter Abdallah was by Abdallah, and his grandam 

 was his daughter also. So highly has the blood of Abdallah been 

 prized, that incestuous crosses have been tolerated in that strain more 

 than in any other known to our American horse breeders. Jupiter 

 Abdallah was foaled in 1855. He is the sire of Result, winner of the 

 2:28 purse, for stallions, at Fleetwood, Oct. 16, 1877, losing the first 

 heat by a head only, in 2:24^, and taking the last three heats at his 

 ease in 2:26, 2:27, and 2:27, and, in the opinion of many competent 

 judges, was able to have trotted in 2:20. He was sire also of Roden's 

 Prince, record 2:27. Prince showed a private trial over the Fashion 

 course in 2:23 in harness, and a repeat the same day to wagon in 2:25, 

 He is sire also of Tom Moore, record 2:28. 



Lady Salisbury, a daughter of Abdallah, left a son of some distinc- 

 tion. She was foaled in 1840. Her son Trojan was by Flying Cloud, 

 a son of Vermont Blackhawk, whose dam was by Andrew Jackson. 

 This was one of several instances where the blood of Abdallah 

 and that of the Morgan families was united and resulted in a superior 

 trotting sire. 



This Trojan went into the State of Missouri and has been lost or is 

 dead, but he has left valuable stock, and the inquiries that have been 

 made for the missing Trojan much remind us of the wanderings of 

 the long lost Ulysses. We are not told whether his Penelope 

 remained as steadfast during his long absence as did that of the King 

 of Ithaca. It may yet transpire that some winning Calypso has 

 ensnared the wanderer, and if he has improved the time and oppor- 

 tunity, we may yet have some interesting returns from this wayward 

 IVojan. Before he disappeared, he produced Ella Wright, that now 

 has a record of 2:24f, and nine heats in 2:30 or better.
