McMYRTLE George Wilkes Electioneer Standard and Registered. BY McKINNEY 2:11%, SIRE OF 24 AND THE DAMS OF G IX 2:10; HIS SONS HAVE SIRED 31 IX 2:10. Dam, Myrtlednle, by Iran Alto 2:12*4 (sire of 16 trotters, 1 pacer), fastest and most prolific son of Palo Alto 2:08%, and out of Elajne 2:20 (dam of 4 trotters, 1 sire, and 2 dams of S trotters and 1 pacer), by Messenger Duroc 109,-whose immediate descendants are almost exclusively trotters. Second dam, Nettie Nutwood (dam of Hillsdale 2:15, one of the best three- year-olds of his day, and Twentv Third, dam of Sterling McKinney 2:D6H' and Unimak 2:22^), by Nutwood 2:18%, sire of 2 and the dams of 20 in 2:10; third dajn, daughter of Ethan Allen Jr. 2903, one of the prolific members of the great family of Black Hawk 5; fourth darn by Williamson's Belmont. It is a significant fact that members of the four families represented by the first four dams of McMyrtleâElectioneer, Belmont, Black Hawk 5 and "William- son's Belmontâhave 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 breedâlarge, 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, CAL. Terms, $30 the season, $40 to insure. Best of care- of mares, but no respon- sibility assumed for accidents or escapes.
