have rehearsed these historical facts in
order to stir up your minds by way of re-
membrance, hoping that you may all return
to your q" first lore" if so be you had be
come Indifferent to the continuation of this
excellent breed Of horses. | cannot believe
that our intelligent farmers are willing to
let them become extinct, when pride, wealth
and pleasure leod an influence for Their
perpetuation, especially State pride, for all
Vermonters feel proud Of their native State
and the race Of horses that has made Il,
renowned from Maine to California from
Canada to Mexico and which has attracted
and will continue to attract the attention Of
all lovers of these valuable animals. Per.
haps you deem me too enthusiastic in favor
of the Morgans if SO, | can say am not
alone in my enthusiasm, for thousands have
got Morgan on the BRAIN as well as my
self.
Do hear some one inquire, how shall
we regain our former standing with this
stock, as the race has degenerated so that
but few good specimens Of them are now
liying?" To this would answer, indiyid.
ua enterprise | fear will not do it, but
company, with generous outlay Of means,
similar to the Vermont horse stock com.
pany," might be successful, if men could
be found who would enter with the same
spirit into the undertaking. | should like
to see the experiment tried, not doubling
its utility; for should we not have the Nor
gans within our State with which to COM
mence this enterprise ten thousand dollars,
the price paid for Waikiki Chief might
fnd one or more in some Of the states, flor
enterprising men have made us bankrupt
in our finest specimens,) descended direct
from one Of Vermont's favorites. To-day
good mares can be found direct from Black
Hawk aud Green Mountain Morgan but
let this matter pass along unheeded a quar-
ter of a century without an effort to regain
our former prestige, aud the race will be
lost and lost forever Let Inc appeal to
you, in conclusion, to think Of this matter,
and think earnestly, and decide now and for
all time to come. whether by indifference
you will allow the Morgan race Of horses
to become extinct-be forever wiped out

prise.

One other erroneous statement was made
that the Morgans had degenerated in speed
and powers of endurance. This statement
| think is VIGOROUSLY untrue. | do moi
remember Of any authentic record Of any
trotting by any Of the immediate descend
ants of the Justin Morgan in ? 90; but il
has been done over and over again by very
many of his progeny Of the present gene
ration, and we have never met horsemau
thoroughly acquainted with these horses
who believed any of the immediate descend
ants of the Justin Morgan would have had
a shadow of chance against Lady Sutton

man Black Hawk, Beppo, Vermont Boy.

others we might name. The Farmers

The Morgans of the present day pos
sess the spirit, compactness, strength Of
constitution, power of endurance, and gene
raj structure of the body, of their illustri-
Gus ancestors in an eminent degree. There
have been, and are, doubtless, more fast
horses Of the Morgan breed than of any
other one variety in the Uunited States"

that were used for stageing in Vermont,
when Cottril Of Montpelier was the stage
king, acknowledged 30 in New England,
some thirty years ago They would handle
a stage coach, with some some eighteen or
twenty passengers, aud baggage 20 cores

ing pleasant, lively aud agreeable. | think
even at the present day, travelling as We do
by steam power, we should not object to an
occasional ride in light, handsome Concord
stage coach, drawn by four or six horses Of
the best specimens Of the Morgaus. 1t is
my opinion that this class Of horses have
lost a good deal Of their sprightincss and
ambition, or 10 use common phrase with
horsemen, their VIM which distinguished
them above all others. II seems that The
horses selected by our stage propretors
did have more Of the qualities Of this race
that made them so famous, aud gave them
such a reputation for smartness energy and
endurance. [ well remember while travel.
