His sire, General Tracy, is full brother tv Kentucky, being by Berlin (imported), dam Jenny Tracy (imported). . Hiram Woodruff (that great authority on ' Trotting) drove Jenny Tracy a mile m 213} before she left 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 U^&wo minutes, Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty.
