8o The Trotting and the Pacing Horse 



Allerton, like Axtell, is the representative of a 

 live trotting inheritance. He is by Jay Bird (son 

 of George Wilkes and Lady Frank by Mambrino 

 Star by Mambrino Chief), dam Gussie Wilkes by 

 Mambrino Boy (son of Mambrino Patchen and 

 Roving Nelly by C. M. Clay Jr., she out of a 

 daughter of Berthune) ; second dam Nora Wilkes 

 by George Wilkes ; and third dam by imported 

 Consternation. Here we have a combination of 

 the blood of Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief, 

 through prepotent sons, with Clay and thorough- 

 bred blood ; and Allerton made his record to 

 high-wheel sulky and is the sire of 1 18 in the 2.30 

 list. 



Palo Alto, bay horse, foaled in 1882, by Elec- 

 tioneer out of Dame W'innie, the thoroughbred 

 daughter of Planet, trotted November 17, 1881, 

 at Stockton, to a high-wheel record of 2.o8f ; then 

 came Kremlin by Lord Russell, dam Eventide by 

 Woodford Mambrino, who trotted at Nashville, 

 November 12, 1892, in 2.07I. October 18, 1893, 

 at Nashville, Directum by Dictator carried the 

 record down to 2.05|-. All of these represent live 

 lines in breeding.
