"BncK H,wE." the famous stallion owned
by David Hnl Of Bridpori. died a, the stable CT
his owner last week a, the mature age Of % years.
Black Hawk was fOAled in 1888, and was then
the property Of winga,c Twombly, OF Greenland,
y. II. Ills sire was Sherman Morgan. and his
grandsire the original dustin Morgan" His
dam was 10 or "a blood English or Thorough
was purchased by benjamin Thur.an Of Lowell.
and used as a family horse until lsii, when he
was purchased by Mr.. Hill. in whose hands he at-
tanned celebrity second to that G. no horse in the
country.
Black Hawk was about 10 hands high, and
weighed about 1000 pounds. Ills color was black
like that Of his dam and his colts have been black
bay or chestnut, with scarcely an exception lie
possessed the peculiar characteristics Of the Nor
gan family in an eminent degree. lie was sym
metrieal, muscular, and compact In his 6rm, aud
his elastic style Of action, speed and endurance.
rs we'll as doeiliy. which qualities he impaired to
his progeny, rendered him one Of the most yalua-
Bile stock horses ever owned in the Uni,el States.
His stock can be found in almost every town in
Vermont and in nearly every State in the Union.
Probably there is instance on record Of any 9TH
err horse that show many colts Of extra quail
ity and high price, not Of which but possesses
many Of the Distinguishing features Of the sire
Among his most noted progeny are - Ethan Al.
lem" TIE fastest trot,ing stallion in the world
/" Lancet" who has beaten the best time Of " La
dy Suffolk -; " Black Ralph -; " Belle Of Sara
toga -; d" Black Hawk Maid" &C.
Black Hawk could trot his single mile in q 40
and exhibited great bottom in longer races In
1912 he won 4 match for $1,000, by trotting on
the Cambridge course inside Of sixteen minutes
i In 1913 he won race Of two mile heats, beating
two competitors easily In 6.43--5-is--5.i7. II,
subsequently troltci on the Saratoga Course a.

won a match for $1,000, mile heats, hest two IN
three. In 2.42.
He was fortune to his owner, Mr. Hill having
received for his services in twelve years over fort,
thousand dollars, Of which the receipts Of the past
year were seven thousand dollars, and he was al.
ready booked in advance for FIVE thousand dollars
But he has proved still greater fortune to th,
State, Probably no other horse has done as much
in giving character to the horse stock OF any sec
ton Of the country as Black Hawk. His colt,

THE 100000 KANSAS APPROPRIA-
TION.

Editor Of the Permont Ph9Hir, Dear Sir -
Our Legislature at near the close Of the last sess-
ion was. It seems, induced by some outside inauen-
ces brought to bear upon them, to reconsider the
vote the bill apPropriating twenty thousand dol
lars for Kansas settlers, previously defeated, and
were finally brought to the point Of assuming the
responsibility Of the appropriation. The bill pass
ed and has become law; the money to be appro-
priated by the Governor in his discretion
This MEASURE is regarded by many men Of COM
petent ability to judge in the matter as one Of very
questionable ccns,itutionaity; yet the people APP
pear to settle down quietly under II as a measure
from which there is no escape.
As an old inhAbtant of the State, now aud for
many years large tax payer, feel that this mca-
sure should not be suffered to pass and become an
established precedent for future legislation in our
State, without some expression Of feeling on the
subject by those who feel asgrieved, and view ii as
an arbitrary assumption Of legislative power. All
must thus view 1t. think, who will take the troub-
lie to look at 1t in all ts bearings. However meri-
torious it may be regarded for individuals or asso-
Citations to bestow their charities in that direction,
1t cannot be regarded wise nor judeious for any
legislative body (even il possesses the eonstitu-
tiona power) to assume the authority of saying to
me and all taxpayers in our State, you must be-
stow your charities in this that direction in pre-
scribed amounts and at specific Zines.

deem too arbitrary and dangerous to DO exercised

for the relief Of Vermont settlers In Kansas, why
may they not with equal and even more propreiy
give money to relieve the poor unfortunate stock
and bond-holders in our railroads which have add
ed so much to the wealth and prosperity Of our
State.
Should the money be sent to Kansas with all the
care, caution and good judgment which our worthy
Governor can exercise. II may not be certain TO
reach the needy and those really entitled to our
sympathics. Notwithstanding all that has been
said in the heat and excitement Of the late Prcsi
dental election Of suffcrings in Kansas, and al
hitting these to have been with many severe in the
extreme, would aslccan II be considered judicious
for the State Of Vermont. with no revenue except
that derived from direct taxation Of the people, who
are now heavily burlened by State, school, eoun-
ty, town and village taxes, to assume the respon-
sibiliiy Of assessing the people fr sueh an objcc,i
Is it not establishing an unsafe precedent for fu-
ture legislation II our legislature has the power
to appropriate $4,000 for such purpose. why
may they not to give goo, 900, or any other sum,
and where is the limit 10 their power.
To my mind there appear no good, valid reasons
our sympathies above all other They have
gone there with their eyes open to all the Difficult
ties attending settlement there, giving to that To-
caly with all It's a,tcndan, evils the preference ov-
I er the many attractive regions Of the great West.
Why then should the State be called upon to make
this bcques? Why not leave it to be done by in
dividuals and associations as such charities US
ualy bestowed
Under all the circumstances OF the case. were
the friend aud adviser Of our Governor, should
beg Of him to weigh the matter WE'LL to look a, tho
subject in all It's bearings before sending dollar
Of this fund to Kansas. Should he upon delibcr.
ate reflection decide to withhold It entirely. pre-
die, he would resrc, his decision. for II would
