ATOKAS PEDIGREE NOT CLEAR. . The pedigree of Atoka which, set the .American record for three-eighths of a mile at 33 at Butte, Montana, last Friday, is given on the programs-of that meeting as "chestnut gelding, aged, by Gorman Dolly." This is thp same horse that ran In the name of Edwin Gaylord of Denver, at some of the minor meetings hi the west last year, but was owned by Stokes and Spargur. He Is not registered in the American Stud Book, hut there is an Atoka registered as a five-year-old bay mare by Adamant Carllla II. She was bred by Stubbs Brothers at Dodge City, Kansas, and as far as is known was never raced. The chestnut mare Dolly, by Joe Aiken, owned by J. W. Fuller at Wills Point, Texas, is evidently the mare given as the dam of this gelding Atoka. She has been bred to Gorman persistently. The stud book gives her produce as follows: 1893, b. c, Jim Gore II. gelding, by Gorman. 1899, ch. f, Dollynet, by Gorman. 1001, ch. t, by Gorman. Atoka is probably a foal In one of the years not reported. In the list of foals published annually by the Jockey Club In the Racing Calendar,, the only public record of produce since the publication of Volume S, of the American Stud Book four years ago, the produce of this mare is given thus: 1001, ch. f, Deogratis, by Gorman. 1903, b. f, Miss Crow, by Gorman. 1904, b. c, Toy Boy, by Gorman. In the list of foals for 1904, and likewise in Horses In Training, the produce of Dollynet, daughter of Gorman, is given as bay filly Madge Roman, by -Gorman. Thus It would appear that Dollynet was bred to her sire to produce this filly. Either a flagrant case of Inbreeding or a. mix-up in the records.
