producing qualities. The close doubling of the 

 blood of Hambletonian returned in this case 

 highly gratifying results. 



Victor Bismarck and Idol 



Victor Bismarck by Hambletonian, dam Hattie 

 Wood (dam of Idol and Gazelle) by Harry Clay, 

 second dam Grandmother by Terror by Eclipse, 

 went from Stony Ford paddocks to Kentucky, 

 where he achieved success. The climatic cross 

 may have aided him. The fastest of his trotters 

 was Edgemark, 2.16, the sire of Miss Whitney, 

 2.07^. Edgemark had the benefit of another 

 climatic cross, as he was transferred from Ken- 

 tucky to Massachusetts. The fastest trotter by 

 Idol, brother of Victor Bismarck, was Idolf, 2.13I-, 

 and the fastest pacer was Fidol, 2.04J. Gazelle, 

 the sister of Victor Bismarck, trotted to a record 

 of 2.21, and at Palo Alto entered the great brood- 

 mare list. Louis Napoleon, by Volunteer, out 

 of Hattie Wood, also passed from Stony Ford 

 paddocks to Michigan, where he sired 23 trotters 

 and 1 1 pacers. One of his producing sons is 

 Jerome Eddy, 2.i6i, sire of Fanny Wilcox, 2.10J. 

 The sons and daughters of Jerome Eddy are 

 also speed producers.
