446 DESCENDANTS OF MAMBRINO CHIEF. 



and Lady Thorn with her 42 inches, would, in all likelihood, have 

 given us a stallion sixteen hands in height and of the most superior 

 physical conformation, as well as the grandest combination of great 

 excellences ever yet seen. 



The unappropriated opportunity may in its suggestive lessons still 

 have some value. When her own greatness as a mare is fully realized, 

 and the substantial additions that have been made to our breeding: 

 stud and trotting stock through the other daughters of Mambrino 

 Chief are considered, then are we prepared to form a proper estimate 

 of the greatness of Mambrino Chief. 



HIS OTHER DAUGHTERS. 



Jessie Pepper, foaled 1861, was a dark brown mare; her dam was 

 by Sidi Hamet, her grandam said to be by Diomed. This mare was 

 also trained and driven in races in Kentucky, and when driven very 

 hard she showed excellent trotting quality and could trot in better 

 than 2:40. She was blind for several years, and raised colts of both 

 sexes. She was a very valuable brood mare, and it is not unlikely that 

 some of her produce will attain to distinction. I have no list of her 

 produce, but know her well. 



The dam of Alta was from a mare by Grey Eagle, and a well bred 

 mare. She produced Alta by American Clay, one of the most prom- 

 ising colts ever foaled in Kentucky. At six years he had a record in 

 2:32, and had trotted below 2:30. He died from accident. She has 

 left other valuable produce. 



Lady Eleanor was a large bay mare; her dam was a highly bred 

 mare sent from Virginia to Major Thos. Moore, with instructions to 

 breed her to the best trotting stallion in Kentucky. She was called a 

 thoroughbred, and her pedigree accompanied her, but is now lost. She 

 left one daughter by American Clay, now owned by myself. She was 

 the dam of Western Chief by Curtis' Hambletonian, now owned in 

 Minnesota. She produced a son by Mambrino Patchen that was a 

 colt of fine size and trotting action. She also produced the mare 

 Patchen Maid by Mambrino Patchen, now owned by Messrs. McFerran 

 at Louisville, the dani of the stallions Marshall Ney and Massena, 

 by Cuyler. 



Lady Eleanor was one of the finest of the daughters of Mambrino 

 Chief. She has been owned in later years by Col. H. S. Russell, of 

 Bxjston.
