OTHEE SONS. 465 



ALCALDE. 



This was a large bay stallion, dam by Pilot Jr. He has the credit 

 of Hylas; dam also by Pilot Jr., 2:24+, and six heats in 2:30 or better; 

 and Enigma, 2:26, and three heats in 2:30. 



JOE HOOKER, 



Another son of Mambrino Chief, and one of many excellent crosses, 

 was very much in appearance like the old Chief. He was about the 

 same size, or perhaps hardly as large; the same in color, and had the 

 grey hind leg in perfection. His first dam was by Canadian Chief; 

 his second by Kavanaugh ; his third by American Eclipse; and had 

 the order of these been reversed, I should have selected him as the 

 best bred son of Mambrino Chief. The starting point, Canada Chief, 

 a son of Davy Ciockett the pacer; next Kavanaugh, a race horse, I 

 believe by Grey Eagle; and lastly, a mare by American Eclipse, 

 from such a dam and gran dam, would have furnished a mare equal in 

 blood qualities to any that Mambrino Chief received; but I have 

 observed that he did not breed a reproducer from any mare near or 

 strong in the blood of a Canadian or pacer. This stallion, however, 

 has one good one, Maud Macy, 2:27f. 



MAMBRUNELLO. 



This stallion was one of those selected on account of the supposed 

 excellence of his blood, his dam being by Hunt's Commodore, 

 grandam by Grey Eagle, etc., a thoroughbred mare. He was not one 

 of the best of his reproducers, while a cross of Duroc blood in the 

 foreground would have made hini a success. He is credited with 

 one performer with a good record, Tom Britton, 2:26, and seven heats 

 in 2:30 or better. 



Mambrino Chief also produced Kentucky Chief and Brignoli, 

 lately called Mambrino Prince, 2:29f, and two sons that contend for 

 the name and honors of Ashland Chief. Another called Mambrino 

 Chief Jr., the sire of Proctor, with record of 2:23. 



Mambrino Chief left several sons from thoroughbred mares, which 

 deserve notice. As might be expected, those showing in themselves 

 the highest degree of trotting excellence were from mares by Ameri- 

 can Eclipse — a Duroc-Messenger. I have already in Chapter X, 

 given an account of Alhambra, and the other of like breeding is
