A GREAT HORSE 



a 2 130 trotter, while his daughters have produced 

 seven, one, Belle Price, being the dam of four 2 130 

 stallions that are all 2 130 sires. 



Mambrino Howard must have passed from Mr. Bar- 

 ker to Gen. Howard, both now dead, at a comparatively 

 early age, as he was standing in New York state as 

 early as 1871, in which he got the dam of Archie Sher- 

 man, 2 :29J, but he was taken to Kentucky soon after, 

 as he certainly made the seasons of 1876, 1877 and 

 1878 there, and in those seasons got the dams of all 

 but two of the ten performers that are out of mares 

 by him. That he was either owned or managed, or 

 both, at that time by the late B. J. Treacy is also certain. 



Mambrino Howard was never stood by General 

 Howard as anything but a roadster stallion, the Gen- 

 eral not having seriously begun the breeding of trot- 

 ters until in the fall of 1879, when he bought of Mr. 

 Treacy the afterwards well-known sire, Wilkie Collins. 

 Any later trace of Mambrino Howard I am unable to 

 find ; as before said he never got a 2 130 performer, 

 but his daughters have produced ten, the fastest, aside 

 from those out of Mabel, the dam of Cresceus, 2 :o2j, 

 and Nightingale, 2:ioJ, being Walter King, 2:i6J. 



At Lexington, Kentucky, November 13, 1897, tne 

 late Dr. Herr and Mr. Treacy held a joint sale. The 

 latter sold forty-three head, of which there were five 

 weanlings and two yearlings by Howard's Mambrino 

 (as he was then called). There were also several head 

 sold by the lamented Allie West, 2:25, who had died
