His sire, General Tracy, is full brother to Kentucky, behlg by Berlin (imported), dam Jenny Tracy (imported). Hiram Woodruff (that great authority on Trotting) drove Jenny Tracy a mile m 2.13£ before she lefc America, and he always used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mam- brino Dudley, and says m his book if ever there was a horse could trot a mile m two minutes, Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much Btud duty, Ib is thus evident that Kentucky and General Tracy contain the very best strains of American trotting blood.
