92 ALEXANDER'S ABDALLAH. 



name at the head of the Woodburn trotting stud. He sired 

 that greatest campaigner of her time, Goldsmith Maid, 2.14, 

 Kosalind, 2.21f , Thorndale, 2.21J, Major Edsall, 2.29, and St. 

 Elmo, 2.30. He also sired thirteen sons, who, altogether, sired 

 twenty-four trotters and four pacers better than 2.30. He also 

 sired nineteen mares who have produced twenty trotters and 

 two pacers better than 2.30, besides being the legitimate grand- 

 sire of Gov. Sprague, the founder of the Sprague family. 



Alexander's Abdallah in motion was one of the grandest 

 horses ever seen. His dam, Katy Darling, like the dams of 

 most great horses, was much more than an ordinary mare. 

 She was a noted road mare of her day and was undoubtedly 

 well-bred, although, unfortunately for the breeding student, her 

 breeding cannot be satisfactorily traced.
