BY McKINNEY 2:11%, SIRE OF 24 AND THE DAMS OP 6 IN 2:10; HIS SONS HAVE SIRED 31 IN 2:10. Dam, Myrtledale, by Iran Alto 2:12% (sire of 16 trotters, 1 pacer), fastest and most prolific son of Palo Alto 2:0S%, and out of Elaine 2:20 (dam of 4 trotters, 1 sire, and 2 dams of 8 trotters and 1 pacer), by Messenger Duroc 109, whose Immediate descendants are almost exclusively trotters. Second dam. Nettle Nutwood (dam of Hillsdale 2:15, one of the best three- year-olds of his day, and Twenty Third, dam of Sterling- McKinney 2:06*4 and Unimak 2:22%), by Nutwood 2:18%, sire of 2 and the dams of 20 In 2:10; third dam, daughter of Ethan Allen Jr. 2903, one of the prolific members of the great family of Black Hawk 5; fourth dam by "Williamson's Belmont. It is a significant fact that members of the four families represented by the first four dams of McMyrtle—Electioneer, Belmont, Black Hawk 5 and William- son's Belmont—have been productive of 2:10 speed when mated to McKinney or his descendants. McMYRTLE is an extremely handsome individual, rich chestnut In color, hands in height, and weighs 1150 pounds. He is a clean-going trotter, with a trial of 2:17 before retirement to the stud. His opportunities as a sire have been extremely limited, but his colts are the kind that it pays to breed—large, solid color, handsome and good movers. Only a few have received the slightest education, but these have developed impressively. Some of the best prospects at the Pleasanton track are the get of McMyrtle. SEASON OF 1913 AT PETALUMA, CAX. Terms, ?30 the season, $40 to Insure. Best of care of mares, but no respon- sibility assumed for accidents or escapes.
