RECOKD OF THE FAMILY. 361 



element was the germ from which they sprang. Their tjrpe is too 

 much of a fixed character, and they adhere to it with too great 

 tenacity, to admit of their having had any mongrel origin. 



FAMILY EECOED. 



The following summary taken from the 2:30 list will show the posi- 

 tion and standing of the descendants of old Tippoo, the sire of Royal 

 George : 



Royal George has to his credit as a sire the following performers in 

 the list of 3:30 or better: 



Belle of Toronto, 2:30, and two heats. 



Lady Byron, 2:28, and seven heats. 



Lady Hamilton, 2:30. 



Royal George Jr., 2:26-2-, and nine heats. 



Sir William Wallace, 2:27-|-, and four heats. 



Tartar, 2 :28|-, and three heats. 



Toronto Chief, 2:24^, under saddle. 



Old Tippoo, his sire, has a son, Sager Horse, sire of Clara, 2:27, 

 and five heats; another called Tippoo Horse, has Jas. H. Burke, 2:27^, 

 and four heats. Sportsman, another son of Old Tippoo, has to his 

 credit Taconey, 2:27, and six heats. 



Field's Royal George has Byron, 2:25^, and fourteen heats. 



HoAve's Royal George has Caledonia Chief, 2:29^, and two heats. 



Grantham Chief has Commodore Nutt, 2:29, and two heats. 



I find a Black Warrior, pedigree not traced. He is a pacer and 

 has to his credit Idol, 2:27^, and ten heats; Morrissey, 2:26:|-, and 

 eleven heats. I have no means of determining whether he belongs 

 to this family, having no jDcrsonal knowledge in the premises, but the 

 range of the time, his name, and the fact that he is a pacer, are sugges- 

 tive of a descent from this stock. 



Toronto Chief has to his credit Thomas Jefferson, 2:23^, and thirty- 

 nine heats. 



Royal Revenge, son of Toronto Chief, has to his credit: Fred 

 Hooper, 2:23, and thirty-two heats; John Ellis, 2:29. 



Buzz, by a son of Toronto Chief, 2:28+. 



His son, Niagara Chief, has to his credit Ben Flagler, 2:26^, and 

 eleven heats. 



Thos. Jefferson, his son, has to his credit Mike Jefferson, 2:29^. 



This makes a total of twenty-one pei-formers credited to this family, 

 if we take the two by Black Warrior, the pacer, and an aggregate of
