. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. SAN FRANCISCO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1897. SUBSCRIPTION THREE DOLLARS A YEAH Altamont. When Del Norle took tbe first heat of the 2:10 pace at Stockton, California, in 2:08, September 26th last, he not only broke the track record as well as his own, but he clinched beyond cavil the claim of his sire, Altamont, 2:265, to the title, "king of all sires of 2:10 performers," no other stallion, living or dead, having begotten sis in that ultra select list. This select half dozen of Oregon's great stallion's children are as follows: Cbehalis, 2:07£, and Del Norte, 2:08, both out of Tecora; Ella T., 2 0S£, out of Daisy Dean; Doc Sperry, 2:09, out of Kitty Kisbar; Pathmont, 2:09.}, and Altao, 2:09}, both out of Sallie M. All these fiv- ers, with the exception of Altao, are pacers, and with the possible exception of Doc Sperry, who was all but "murdered" ;n the fearful campaign of 1894, all are able to lower records Ella T. being timed separately in a race at Htidrick, Iowa, this Dast season, in 2:05$, while Altoa's mile 2:093, was finished in a jog, Altamont has still further claims to greatness. The mighty Klamath, one of the greatest campaigners that ever went down the line, uan trace his great speed and stamina to no other distinct source than h's grandsire, Alta- mont. Klamath's sire, Mo- • rookos, was by Altamont, out of unknown breeding, and his dam was also a mare whose blood lines were so indistinct as to be largely a matter of opinion among those who knew her long before she was looked on as tbe possible dam of so great a trotter. Morooku* died young, but with few op- portunities he had, showed great speed, and in form and action was the image of h:s great sire. Altamont has produced a number of other sires of speed, and one of them which is in a fair way to equal Morookus is Pricemont, whose dam is Belle Price. This stallion is the sire of Bill Fraser, one of this year's crop of pacers who al- ready has a mark
