PRINCESS.

PRINCESS.
Regarding the history of the trotting of
the famous trotting mare Princess, now the
| property of Robert Bonner, there has always
been much doubt; some writer's claiming
that she was raised in New Hampshire and
others crediting her to New York. In
/ Wilkes Esprit of the Times" of June IA,
1873 we find lengthyarticle from Allen ".
| Thompson of Woodstock, Vermont, an in.
telligcnt horseman, who gives documentary
and conclusive proof that she was raised in
Middletown, VT, by l.. b. Adams, and by
him sold to JIM. Densmore of Hartand, Vt.
Mr.Adams. received for her two-horse lum-
Der wagon and paid 500 boot in the trade.
William Cowdry Of Hartford Vt, was pres
ent when the trade was made. This was in
1892, and the next year Mr. Dcnsmorc
snapped her for another horse with Rev.
John G.. Bennett, of Hartford, VT. who
soldier soon after to A. NJ. Billings, of
Claremont. n. II.
In Mr., Billings hands she began to de-
velop her speed and attract attention among
horse f,rc;ors and IL te.. .,', e

n Mr.. Gage for 5000. She rose rapidly af-
ter this and stood for time the queen of

Equal doubt existed as 10 her pedigree,
but Mr.. Adams states ro,itiyclv that sho
