R. S. VEECH AND INDIAN HILL 



was Farce by Princeps, dam Roma by Gold- 

 dust, second dam Bruna by Pilot Jr. She trotted 

 to a record of 2.29^, and her sister, Romance, to 

 a record of 2.29^. Speed came from both. Bon 

 Voyage, the bay colt who won the two-year-old 

 Futurity at Lexington, October 5, 1904, in 2.15, 

 2.15^, the fastest of the class for the year, is by 

 Expedition out of Bon Mot by Erin, and she out 

 of Farce. Jack Axworthy, bay gelding, foaled 1902, 

 and who beat Bon Voyage at Lexington the week 

 after the Futurity in 2.15^, 2.16^, is by Axworthy, 

 out of My Trinket by Stamboul, she out of Trinket, 

 2.14, by Princeps. These were the two best two- 

 year-old performances for the season of 1904. 

 Ouida, dam of Trinket, was one of the great brood 

 mares at Indian Hill. Her sire was Princeps, and 

 her dam was the running-bred mare, Morning Glory 

 by imp. Consternation. Trinket was a sensational 

 trotter, and Ouida is now recognized as a fountain 

 of speed. Toto, the sister of Trinket, is the dam 

 of three, and her daughter Charm, by Santa Claus, 

 is the dam of eight in the list. Triton, the brother 

 of Trinket, trotted fast the spring he was three years 

 old, but was injured and thrown out of training. He 

 is a sire of speed. Mr. Veech was rewarded by ad- 

 hering in the face of ignorant clamor to speed-sup- 

 porting blood. Epaulet, who trotted to a five-year- 

 old record of 2.19, and who was sold for $22,500, 

 was by Auditor (son of Hambletonian and My Lady 

 by imp. Trustee) out of Pantalette (dam of Esco-
