LADY of the Manor, holder of the world's pacing 

 J record for mares, was foaled May 31, 1894, sired 

 by Mambrino King, dam Princess Chimes by 

 Chimes. She was worked some as a three-year-old, and 

 soon gave evidence of possessing great speed. I first 

 started her in the 2.24 class at the Detroit meeting, in 

 1898, where she won the first heat in 2.09 J^, but had to 

 be satisfied with third place in the race. Her first win- 

 ning race was at Cleveland, where she won the third, 

 fourth and fifth heats in 2.15^, 2.10^, and 2.1 1. She 

 also won at Hartford, Columbus, Fort Wayne, Glens 

 Falls, Fort Erie, Portland, Readville, and two races at 

 Lexington. 



At Lexington she took a race record of 2.08^. She 

 also started at Louisville, but was unplaced. From 

 the above statement it will be seen that in her first 

 racing season as a four-year-old she was first in ten 

 races, third in one, and unplaced in one. Her record 

 of 2.08^ advanced her to a very fast class in 1899, but 

 she was first in three out of the six starts she made 

 that season, and they were all great races. Her first 

 winning race that season was at Glens Falls, where 

 she won the second, third, and fifth heats in 2.04^, 

 2.1114^, and 2.08^. She won at Hartford, in straight 

 heats, in 2.06 j4, 2.05^, and 2.08^. At Readville she 

 won the first and third heats, in a three-heat race, in 

 2.05 5i and 2.07^. I never saw a horse that possessed 

 more speed than did this mare. She had shown me a 

 half mile in one minute, and I firmly believe that she 

 would have made a record of two minutes or better 

 had she remained on the turf a season or two longer ;
