484 BLACKWOOD AND SWIGERT. 



I have seen a statement made in Kentucky, having reference to the 

 stud service of Blackwood there, before he was purchased by Mr. 

 Durkee, that out of ten of his produce when he was three and four 

 years old, which have been handled for speed, six became winners. 



It is believed he has other progeny that will surpass any of those 

 now before the public, unless it be Protine.

 of a son of Hungerford's Blucher, which was bred at Cleveland, Ohio,
