TRANSMISSION 



What light, now, does this throw upon our query ? We re- 

 member the disadvantage occasioned to the performing sire by the 

 interference of track engagements during his racing years, and 

 we remember, on the other hand, the advantage that comes from 

 his enhanced reputation and the superior class of mares offered. 



This table, taken as a whole, shows that these 165 leading 

 stallions (being the ones of highest note that produced both per- 

 forming and non-performing sires) produced 5688 offspring and 

 17,029 grand offspring with track records of 2:30 or better.
