Notes:
* Sweeney's FLY, dam of GRIP, was probably the greatest bitch ever in America . In addition to the Gas-House Dog, she produced, when lined to
Gallivan's OLD PRINCE, the great dog, Thornton's PETE, who beat Jenning's CROPPY, and died immediately after. To the lining of imported Rafferty, she produced Quinn's TONY, who was unapproachable in his time at 23 pounds, and Harrington's DICK, a first-class 19-pound dog. Her last litter was by Burke's TANNER, and but one bitch was saved from it. This bitch had but one litter of certified record, but in that litter was Gallivan's PUP and Gallivan's YOUNG PRINCE, the dog who sired TURK, who defeated Con Feeley's JIM at Chicago in 4 hours 58 minutes of the fight. This battle is mistakenly called the longest on record, but Tugman's PADDY and Lloyd's TOBY fought 5 hours 09 minutes without a turn or a pickup.
