 qualities upon his get, and none, that I am aware of, 

 ever became distinguished upon the turf. Of the 

 other great horses that have since been owned and 

 bred in the State it is not my purpose at this time to 

 speak, but this summary should, I think, be sufficient 

 to show that, as regards material upon which to work 

 and facilties with which to accomplish results at the 

 beginning of my career, I at least enjoyed no advan- 

 tages not possessed by other drivers and trainers in 

 other and more favored sections of the country.
