Maud Vernon's dam was Mag by Gen. McClellan"2:29, son of the Drew Horse out of a mare by Shark by Quicksilver (thoroughbred). Vernon McKinney 2:01% is a magnificent stallion, stands over 16 hands, a bright bay in color, and individually is as fine a type as ever was foaled. He has all the qualifications to make a sire and the few colts by him show that he trans- mits his perfect conformation, color, good disposition and extreme sDeed to his progeny. He was the fastest pacer out in 1911 and last year he paced to his present record—2:01%— when quite lame from an inju^*-. He is bred in the very best of speed producing lines. The superabundance of the blood of Geo Wilkes 2:22, through Alcyone 2:23, sire of McKinney 2:11%, his celebrated sire, Guy Wilkes 2:15%. and Onward 2:25%, and back of that cross to Mambrino Patchen and Nut- wood 2:18%, the great sire of famous speed producing broodmares, backed up by the stoutest of old line throughbred blood, makes him a remarkable stallion from which any owner of a well bred mare has a right by breeding to him to expect the fastest pacer in the world! No horse living ever paced with greater ease or has a greater natural flight of speed. The Fashiouably Bred Trotting Stallion GRAHAM BELLINI 2:11 1-4 Reg. No. 5120S.
