466 DESCENDANTS OF MAMBUINO CHIEF. 



IDOL. 



This stallion was bred by R. P. Todhunter, of Fayette county, Ky., 

 foaled in 1855; his dam by American Eclipse; second dam Kitty 

 Muse, by Shakspeare; third dam Eliza Jenkins, by Sir William, etc., 

 etc. — all thoroughbred mares. 



This was one of the stoutest and soundest of the sons of the Chief 

 from thoroughbred mares, and his trotting quality was of the highest 

 order. He has left much excellent stock, and was in Kentucky a 

 very valuable and highly esteemed stallion. During the war he was 

 owned by Capt. Ryland Todhunter, and followed the fortunes of the 

 Confederate army, and was used as a pack horse and in various other 

 ways. In 1871 he was sold to Dr. Cheatham, of Nashville, Tennessee, 

 and soon afterward to Wm. H. Peck, Esq., of Hartford, Conn., and 

 is now owned by that gentleman. I know of no more valuable son 

 of Mambrino Chief coming from a thoroughbred mare. 



BOUEBOK CHIEF. 



This was a bay stallion, not quite so large as the average sons of 

 Mambrino Chief, but one that showed excellent quality. He was 

 regarded as a fast horse, and has to his credit that excellent trotter 

 Calmar, with record of 2:23^, and twenty-three heats in 2:30 or 

 better. His dam was the race mare Puss, by Grey Eagle, and she 

 was a thoroughbred. 



ASHLAIiTD. 



This was a bay stallion, not large, but exhibiting a good degree of 

 Cjuality. He was bred by James B. Clay, and as a two-year-old was 

 sent as a present to Edwin Thorne, and after being struck by light- 

 ning and barely escaping alive, was sold to George C. Hitchcock, of 

 New Preston, Conn. His dam was the noted mare Utilla, by Mar- 

 grave, also the dam of the race horse Ulverston, by Lexington. 

 Ashland has produced some winners, and ])articularly one daughter 

 from the old mare Highland Maid, won a stake at an early age. He 

 has one son, Joe Pettit, with r> o )rd of 2:30. He has also a son, 

 Highland Chief, that was at three years of age a handsome stallion. 



MAMBUINO ECLIPSE. 



This horse was foaled 1862; his dam was by Zenith, a thoroughbred 

 son of Eclipse, and was a thoroughbred. He has been owned mainly 

 by C. B. Carpenter, of Tolono, Illinois, but I know of nothing produced 

 by him that would indicate that he was a success.
