FIVE GREAT TROTTING BROOD MARES OP THE WORLD. 227 



Beach's Cadmus — a thoroughbred son of American Eclipse, 

 son of Duroc by Imported Diomed. Duroc's dam was by Im- 

 ported Messenger ; this mare, Shanghai Mary, was half-sister • 

 to the old-time pacing mare Pocahontas, 2.17£, which she very 

 much resembled, being marked exactly like her and partaking 

 of the color and markings of her sire, Iron's Cadmus. 



The converted pacing stallion, Smuggler, with a trotting 

 record of 2.15^ (which was the world's trotting stallion record 

 for several years), was a grandson of this same horse, Iron's 

 Cadmus. Consequently, when we take into consideration the 

 facts in reference to this " great mother in Israel" carrying in 

 her veins the blood of the old-time celebrated Fireaways of 

 England (through imported Belfounder), the blood of imported 

 Messenger (through his grandson, Duroc), the blood of im- 

 ported Diomed (through his son Duroc and his grandson, 

 American Eclipse), then we cannot for a moment dispute her 

 legitimate right to have been a fast and gamy trotter herself — 

 had she been trained for that purpose ; or her ability to pro- 

 duce sensational or uniform speed, and her ability to breed 

 on in the speed lines, through generations yet unborn. (See 

 the Electioneers, Chapter X.) 



BEAUTIFUL BELLS. 



Beautiful Bells, 2.294, was a bay mare by the Moor, her 

 dam being Minnehaha, by Bald Chief (Stevens), dam Nettie 

 Clay, by C. M. Clay, Jr. (22), son of Cassius M. Clay by old 

 Henry Clay. 



This mare is the dam of fifteen foals, seven of which 

 have records from 2.12f to 2.30f, with three to be heard from, 

 and she is again in foal. Six of the nine foals with records are 

 by Electioneer. 



MISS RUSSELL. 



Miss Bussell, a gray mare by Pilot, Jr., whose dam was 

 Sally Kussell by Boston. She is the dam of nineteen foals, 

 seven of which have records from 2.08| — in Maud S. — to 2.28 

 in Kussia, by Harold, and own sister to Maud S., and dam of
