 second (columns 2 and 3), the number of performing sires (that 

 is, sires with speed records 2 : 30 or better), with their get ; 

 third (columns 4 and 5), the number of non-performing sires, 

 with their get. For convenience there is added (column 6) the 

 track record of those stallions (of the 165) which were themselves 

 " performers "; for example, line 6: this sire made a record of 

 2:23 on the track. He produced 149 performers, 19 perform- 

 ing sires that got 1 1 1 performers, and 24 sires that never made 

 a record on the track but that produced 89 offspring that were 

 performers. The entire table, covering 165 individuals, is given 

 in order that the reader may have at hand the me'ans of making 

 individual comparisons, many of which are, to say the least, 

 remarkable. Names have been omitted, but the reader may be 

 interested to know that line 65 is Geo. Wilkes, 70 is Hamble- 

 tonian 10, 120 is Nutwood, and 121 is Onward.
