Her foal ol 1888 was a bay with near 'ikle white. If this description fits Mr. Ott's Sidmore, he is undoubtedly the sire of Marchioness. Mr. Haney's letter follows: Modesto, Cal., May 7,1905. John Ott, Esq , Pacheco, Dear Sir:—I noticed an article in tbe Breeder and SPORTSMAN inquiring about Marchioness, oDce owned oy tbe late Lee Shaner. I know a great deal about the mare and also Sidmore, as I was a trainer at Petaluma when they were colts, and as I think one horseman should help another will give you the in- formation. I know Marchioness was foaled in 1890 or 1S91—I am not sure but can find out. She has a two- year-old record of 2:29} and was, I think, the fastest yearling the world has ever seen. When eleven months old she trotted a quarter of a mile in 37.] seconds to harness, and could show a 2:16 clip beside a cart with jockey stick, the way Shaner most always worked his colts. She was sired by Sidmore, which I Endorse the Selling Race Plan. Woodland, Cal., May 14,1905.
