took his daughter of Messenger Silvertail and bred her to the son of Messenger Hambletonian and the produce was the famous One Eye which will be described in her place. There appears to have been no other line through which the blood and qualities of Silvertail were transmitted. She died the property of Ebenezer Seely in Orange county retaining in her old age the game and will of her youth.-Mr. Helms Theories of Breeding the Trotting Horse.ANOTHERinstalment of Mr. Helms views has appeared and we must make our notice of them very brief. This time he describes the three sons of HambletonianAdministrator Knickerbocker and Florida and he does it in a very readable and attractive style. As a matter of course we think many of his theories very wild if not absolutely injurious; but we will limit our review for Nike Air Max 90 the present more to certain assumptions of facts than to theories. Coach Outlet Store Online In Coach Outlet Store Online speaking of Administrator he says:His dam was by Mainbrino Chief whose dam may be set down as a grand-daughter of Duroc. His third dam was by Duroc Messenger a grandson of Duroc. This gives this horse two crosses of Duroc blood which is risible in only Nike Australia one particular in his entire composition. He has a thigh. J inches in length but has not a trace of the Duroc element in his gait.Will our friend please tell us on what authority it may be set down that the dam of Mambrino Chief was a grand-daughter of Duroc? We have personally spent a great deal of time and labor in trying to determine the question as to what blood this mare possessed but without ever getting a single step towards the truth. There was quite a controversy between our friends Mr. Daniel B. Christian Louboutin Outlet Haight and Mr. Edwin Thorne as to the qualities of the mare but we never have before heard any one assume to say what blood she possessed; for no person in Dutchess county ever knew anything about Nike Shoes Australia it. Christian Louboutin Outlet She was brought from the west along with other horses for sale and was bought by a Baptist minister. Now if Mr. Helm has any historical information as to the blood of this mare every man owning a descendant of Mambrino Chief is exceedingly Nike Air Max anxious to know it. When he says it may be set down as a truth we must take it for granted he has some reason satisfactory to his own mind at least that it is true. If the reason for his positiveness has any history in it we do not hesitate to urge our friend to make it public. If however it rests merely on the length of the mares thigh bone we will advise him to say nothing more about it.In further extension of this pedigree our friend goes on to say his third dam was by Duroc Messenger a grandson of Duroc. This makes Administrator the sixth remove from Duroo in that line; and even to admit the thigh bone pedigree of the dam of Mambrino Chief the fifth remove in that line. These two lines coming together Mr. Helm argues make the thigh bone of Administrator iyinches in length and this appears to be the only Duroc element he could find. Now does not Mr. Helm know that Mambrino the son of Messenger was a great deal larger horse than Duroc and consequently had a great deal longer thigh bone? Is he ignorant of the fact also that Mambrino Paymaster was a much larger horse than Duroc? What sense or reason then is there in Coach Outlet Store Online going back through a line of immediate and large ancestors to a comparatively small horse six generations away and saying the large quality came from him? The whole trouble appears to be in
