Being "retired to the stud" in his ease meant being practically retired from everything, as he had access to almost no mares in his home locality, and it was not until, 1906 that his name appeared in the table of sires, his initial performer being the trotting mare Nealy W. 2:27% (dam of Nealy Stanley 2:24%) bred by Col.

Being "retired to the stud" in his ease meant being practically retired from everything, as he had access to almost no mares in his home locality, and it was not until, 1906 that his name appeared in the table of sires, his initial performer being the trotting mare Nealy W. 2:27% (dam of Nealy Stanley 2:24%) bred by Col. Mayberry and at present a member of the band of matrons assembled at Hemet Stock Farm. In 1908 he gained his first 2:10 performer in Silver Dick 2-09%, who won a number of races in Califor- nia taking his fastest record at Santa Rosa. About this time or a bit before, he was purchased by Mr. Whittier and mated to a few good mares with grati- fying results. In 1912 his three-year-old son Hemet (out of Ladv Zombro 2:24%, by Zombro 2:11) won the pacing divisions of the State Fair and Breeders money in the Occident stake, with Rags again having the best of the argument. The season just passed witnessed several additions to his list of performers, and a newcomer to his 2:10 circle San Jacinto reducing his record to 2:05% in the last heat of a winning race at Sedalia m which the time was 2:06%, 2:05%, and 2:05%. Handi- capped by the sickness of his regular trainer and driven usually by catch drivers, San Jacinto never- theless gave a fair account of himself, and wound up his performance for the year by setting the pacing record for the new half-mile track at Riverside at 2 09% on Dec. 26. That Geo. W. McKinney's post- humous honor will exceed that accorded him m life is probable, as Hemet Stock Farm, and other parties, have numerous promising youngsters by him. That his daughters will breed on is evidenced by the per- formances of Nealy Stanley 2:24%, Alhambra 2:27, and Will Durfee's good trotter Alarich 2 HEMET (3) 2:08%, BY GEO. W.
