ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 993 



Page 882; Idol 2:27. This pedigree is as given in "Wallace's American Trotting 

 Register," but we think incorrect. J. F. Akers of Friendship, Ind., writes us that Lindslay 

 Akers is dead, but he does not think he bred Idol. In "Wallace's Year Book" Bob Ridley, 

 that appears as the sire of Idol, is given a record of 2 143. The stallion Bob Ridley 2 143 

 got his record in Logansport, 111., in 1879, and if he was the sire of Idol must have been 

 at least twenty-six years old when he got his record. Idol was taken to New Orleans, by 

 W. F. Wood of Indianapolis, who writes us that she was bred at, or near, Noblesville, Ind., 

 and got by Brown's Tom Crowder. 



Page 883; Jack Draper 2:27. The best information is that the dam of Jack Draper 

 was purchased of a Mr. Weaver of Redwood, X. Y., by Archibald Branaugh, who sold to 

 Chas. Draper. 



The record of Jenny Lind should read 2:33 instead of "2:40." 



Page 887; Kitty Thorn 2:35. This mare was bred by J. X. Sawyer, now of Littleton, 

 Mass., and got, as he writes, by Young Morrill instead of "Pathfinder." The dam was bought, 

 when three, by Mr. Sawyer from a nock of colts, breeding unknown. 



Page 888; Lady Franklin. The Lady Franklin owned by Chas. Leggett is believed to 

 be the mare bred by Luther Hayes, but this is not proved. 



Lady Scud. This mare was bred by Wellington Baxter, Salisbury Mills, X. Y., and got 

 by Wm. H. Beede, son of Edward Everett. The dam of Wm. H. Beede was by Hector. 



Page 889; Lady Sheridan. Record should read 2:28%. 



Page 890; Lady Yernon. The history of this mare as given was sent us by parties in 

 California who had been interested in the mare. Since this was received we have been in- 

 formed by John Moore of Fleetwood Park, X". Y., that Lady Yernon was bred in X T ew 

 Berlin, X. Y., and got by a blind, gray horse said to be a Messanger. She was owned at 

 Xorwich, X . Y., and went from there to Yernon, X. Y., where she was used on a stage, and 

 afterwards passed to Somerindyke. Mr. Moore knew the mare in X'orwich, and after she 

 came to X'ew York. 



Latham, second line. For " Brockton " read Rockton. The sire of Latham was by 

 Black Hawk, son of Sherman Morgan. 



Page 891; Lewinski 2 :25 1 4- C. H. Olmstead, Columbus, O., writes : "Lewinski was 

 bred by a colored man near Lexington, Ky., got by Big John, son of Mambrino Pilot : dam 

 by Denmark." 



Lew Scott. Lew Scott was bred by Hain Herron, Leesville, O., and got by Scott's 

 Hiatoga. 



Page 892; Lizzie O'Brien 2:23 l e . This mare, we understand, was by a Canadian 

 horse. She was first reported to us as by a thoroughbred, a statement that we had little 

 confidence in, and so entered her with a "said to be." 



Mac. Mac was the greatest trotter of his day, beating Lady Suffolk seven in ten times, 

 and when she beat him he was lame. John Record, Livermore Falls, Me., son of Thomas 

 Record, breeder of Mac, writes : "Mac's dam was a bay mare with dark points, breeding 

 unknown. Father bought her of Dr. Cooledge of Canton, Me. She was fourteen years old 

 when father bought her. He owned her two years before she had Mac. She was a good 

 mare and one of the best road mares of her clay." This makes the mare foaled in 1827.. 

 Bush Messenger has been said to be the sire of this dam, which is impossible, as he was- 

 foaled in 1833, or six years after the mare. 



Page 895; May Bird. H. Steers writes: "I bought the dam of May Bird from E.. 

 Simmons, who then owned Geo. Wilkes, she was sorrel, said to be bred in Dutchess county,, 

 X. Y., and got by Seely's American Star. She showed Star breeding all over and cold trot 

 in about 2 =30." 



Page 896; Miller's Damsel. The dam of this mare was a ring-boned, bay mare, said 

 to be by Little Duroc, kept by Jarvis Wilson, and a son of Duroc. 



Molly Morris, second line. Read Essex county, Ont., instead of "P. Q."
