Other Great Producing Mares 251 



Directum Kelly, four-year-old record 2.08^. 

 Among the 108 producing daughters of Dictator 

 are the dams of Lockheart, 2.o8|, and of Nancy 

 Hanks, 2.04, an ex-queen of the trotting turf. 

 Here we have the brother of Dexter transmitting 

 extreme speed from generation to generation. 

 Alma, 2.28|, Astoria, 2.29^-, and Aida are three 

 producing sisters of Dexter. Almera, by Ken- 

 tucky Prince, out of Alma, is the dam of five in 

 the list, all by Kremlin. Kearsarge (1864) by 

 Volunteer is a producing sire, and his sisters, 

 Corinne and Hyacinth, are producing dams. 

 Metropolitan is one of the producing sons of 

 Hyacinth, and Reina Victoria is her great pro- 

 ducing daughter. She is the dam of four with 

 records, including Muscovite, 2.18, and Princeton, 

 2.19J, both good sires of speed. Galatea, dam of 

 Prefix, dam of Liberty Bell, 2.24, sire of Tommy 

 Britton, 2.o6|, is a daughter of Hyacinth; and 

 Prefix, dam of Prince of India, 2.23^, sire of 

 Prince of Orange, 2.o6i, is out of Galatea. We 

 follow the blood of Clara link by link, and as the 

 chain lengthens discover extreme speed. This is 

 a supreme test of merit. Twilight, the second 

 dam of Jay-eye-see, was a thoroughbred by Lex- 

 ington out of Daylight by imported Glencoe.
