Great Producing Mares 247 



IS out of Sweetheart, has a record of 2.19, and 

 one of his trotters is Chain Shot, 2.06J. 



The success of Beautiful Bells emphasized the 

 fact that a chain of producing dams is desirable 

 in a pedigree. 



The Moor, who sired Beautiful Bells, died at 

 the age of eight, and among the six trotters 

 sired by him was Sultan, 2.24. He was a brown 

 horse of commanding appearance, foaled in 1875 ; 

 dam Sultana by Delmonico by Guy Miller, an 

 inbred son of Rysdyk's Hambletonian ; second 

 dam Celeste by Mambrino Chief; and third dam 

 by Downing's Bay Messenger. He sired 42 

 trotters and 10 pacers, and 21 producing sons 

 and 22 producing daughters, and died at Ab- 

 dallah Park, Cynthiana, Kentucky, having been 

 sold by Mr. Rose to W. H. Wilson. The most 

 distinguished of Sultan's get was Stamboul, 

 dam Fleetwdng by Hambletonian; second dam 

 Patchen Maid by George M. Patchen, 2.23J; and 

 third dam by Abdallah. Fleetwing also pro- 

 duced Ruby, 2.19!; and Lady Mackay, dam of 

 Oakland Baron, 2.09^-, Lucy R., 2.18I, and Semi- 

 Tropic, 2.24. Mr. Rose, who bred Stamboul, was 

 an optimist, and the stallion was kept constantly 

 before the public. A glamour w^as thrown around
