350 THE CHAMPIONS. 



in motion, but lack the ease and frictionless manner of the Abdallah. 

 They go with great display of power, and they are real trotters. 

 They have the trotting impulse or instinct in high degree. The 

 family has attained to great distinction on the trotting turf. 



King's Champion, son of Grinnell's Champion, produced Nettie 

 Burlew, with a record of 2:24, and four heats in 2:30 or better; 

 George B. Daniels, 2:24, and eight heats in 2:30 or better; Charley 

 B., Col. Barnes and Sorrel Dapper, (or Auburn horse), each with a 

 sino-le heat and a record of 2:28^. 



Gooding's Champion has to his credit Castle Boy, 2:21, and 

 nineteen heats in 2:30 or better; St. James, 2:23:^, and forty-two 

 heats; York State, 2:23:^, and five heats; Chauncey M. Bedle, 2:24, 

 and Eva, 2:25^, and eight heats in 2:30 or better. 



The dam of Castle Boy was a Morgan mare of good breeding. 

 The dam of York State was a common mare of no breeding. The 

 dam of St. James was a very small mare, called by some a pony, but 

 a mare of ffreat endurance. 



Matt Tanner, by Gooding's Champion, is from a Morgan mare, and 

 has a record of 2:31f ; made in winning the last three of a race of 

 six heats. 



Belle Cleveland has a record of 2:33^. 



Geneva, from a Morgan mare, has a record of 2:42. 



Zeppo, from a mare by Old Henry Clay, has shown a mile, as 

 stated, in 2:24, but his record is 2:504-. 



Montour Maid has a record of 2:35. 



SONS OF Gooding's champion. 



Tim Gooding, bay stalHon, five years old, dam Queen Anne. 

 Queen Anne, by Fashion Clay, son of Henry Clay, second dam by 

 King's Champion. This should be a Champion. 



Mambrino Champion, a bay, live years old, dam by Ericsson, 

 by Mambrino Chief; said to be a handsome horse. Just here I 

 may say that the Ericssons, of all the family of Mambrino Chief, 

 resembled in gait the Champion family the most. I should commend 

 the breeding of this last colt without seeing him.
