ZONA 2 =39%, and winner of n races, ch. m.; foaled 187-. Trotted in Alabama and New 

 Orleans, 1878-81. 



The whole number of these ten-race winners is 665. Of these, 185 have Morgan sires 

 (115 Black Hawks, 7 from Sherman Morgan other than Black Hawks, 19 from Bulrush 

 Morgan (17 Morrills), 1 6 from Woodbury Morgan, 15 Pilots, 4 Davy Crocketts, 2 Brandy- 

 wines, 7 Miscellaneous); 172 have Messenger sires (117 Hambletonians, 46 Mambrinos, (8 

 Champions, 5 Abdallahs), 6 Bishop Hamiltonians, 2 Maine Messengers, I Financier) ; 74 have 

 sires descended from imported Bashaw (Clays 44) ; 52 trace to thoroughbred sires other 

 than those above mentioned (16 to Diomed, 5 to Drew); 69 trace to Canadian sires other 

 than those mentioned above (15 to Royal George, 12 to Columbus, 7 to Morse Horse, 8 to St. 

 Lawrence) ; 112 are from unknown sires or from sires but partly known (12 American Stars, 

 8 Blue Bulls, 8 Hiatogas, 7 Biggart Rattlers). 



A reasonably accurate analysis of the dams of these trotters shows that 257 are entirely 

 unknown, and 47 more but partially known (14 American Stars). Of the remainder, 114 have 

 Morgan sires (70 Sherman Morgans, (62 Black Hawks,) 14 Woodbury Morgans, 3 Bulrush 

 Morgans (2 Morrills), 5 Pilots, 2 Davy Crocketts, and 20 " called Morgan "). There are 58 that 

 trace in male line to Messenger (27 Mambrinos (18 Mambrino Chiefs, 6 Abdallahs, 3 Cham- 

 pions), 17 Hambletonians, 7 Maine Messengers, 4 Bishop's Hamiltonians, 3 Misscellaneous). 

 25 have Bashaw dams (14 Clays'); 90 have dams that trace to thoroughbred sires other 

 than those above mentioned (43 to Diomed) ; and 55 have dams that trace to Canadian 

 sires besides those that so trace in the Morgans and part-breds. 



The great part of the grandams are unknown; of those known there are 40 Morgans, 22 

 Messengers, 8 Bashaws (3 Clays), 21 Canadians, and 82 tracing to other thoroughbred sires, 

 34 of which to imported Diomed; 13 more get Diomed blood through the third and 

 fourth dams.
