4G4 DESCENDANTS OF MAMBIIINO CHIEF. 



A statement made by his owner shows that he has trotted one mile 

 in 2:26 under saddle — not a record — and has a five-mile record of 

 13:52. He won two races in 2:30^ precisely. He has a saddle record 

 of 2:20. He has to his credit, Mambrino General, 2:30, and a full 

 brother called General Thomas — has trotted in 2:30. Tliis stallion is,, 

 beyond doubt, an excellent trotting sire, and good results will often 

 be seen tracing to his career. 



BANNER CHIEF 



Was a bay horse bred by Jas. B. Clay. His dam was by Downing's 

 Bay Messenger, grandam by Hunt's Brown Highlander. He was 

 owned and spent most of his life at Jacksonville, Illinois, and left 

 . some highly prized stock. 



MAMBRINO TEMPLAR AND BRIGAND 



Were brothers, and were large bay horses, showing the Sir Archy t}^e 

 in their composition in strong degree. They were bred by Dr. Samuel 

 H. Chew, of Fayette county, Kentucky, and were from a mare called 

 " Beck}^," also the dam of Whip Clay — she was by Wardlaw's 

 Shakspeare; second dam by Curd's Kosciusko; third dam by Hephes- 

 tion; fourth dam by Whip. 



These stallions were grand and sweeping trotters, with very sloping 

 shoulders, and from their breeding, doubtless much like Fiske's 

 Mambrino Chief. Had they been kept at the right place and in the 

 right way they would doubtless have been regarded as very superior 

 stallions. During the troublesome days attending our civil war, when 

 such property was in great hazard in Kentucky, Dr. Chew ran the twa 

 young stallions over into Indiana in the charge of A. M. Payne,, 

 a young man who overheated and injured them, causing one of them, 

 and Derhaps both, to be thick-winded, and otherwise unfavorably 

 affecting them. 



They were afterward traded for other stock. Mambrino Templar 

 finally passed into the hands of M. L. Hare, of Indianapolis, and he 

 remained there until his death, not long since. 



Brigand was sold to. the Messrs. Spears, of Tallula, Illinois, and finally 

 passed through the hands of Emery Cobb, Esq., to Charles S. Dole, 

 Esq., and is now owned in Wisconsin. It has been my fortune to 

 own daughters of each of these stallions. They bred mostly chestnuts, 

 with fine Sir Archy forms, sloping shoulders, and show a superior way 

 of o-oing. I can only express the opinion, that if properly managed 

 in their earlier years, they would have proved superior stallions.
