$3.50 class, these 20 heats haveN been
scored the first season. Johnny Porter
sold at Tie to a company of gentlemen,
for $4,000, at two years old, (this is a
full brother to Aristos, that made an

$4,000 has been refused.) This Johnny
Porter made marvellous time on the ice

Brandon, sold one at three years to Mr..
Dorman at Swanton for $4,000, and one
at auction not long since for $3.50, to
Henry Sollace, Bridport. (These
young stations are both very fast. The
older, Star Ethan, took the first money
as a three-year-old at St. Adams, fall of
1876, again as a four-year-old at the
same place, fall of 1877. His full broth
err, Echo, took first as a t~hree-year-old,
fall of 1877, and again as a four-year-
old, fall of 1873, when Brandon Boy,
the one sold Mr.. Sollace, took first
money in the regular t~hree-year-old
class, and second in the special three
year-old stakes at the same place the
day following.) E. r. Clay sold a fine
bay gelding last year for $500 or 5000.
One was sold from Cream Hill stock
farms at two years for 5000, and $500
refused for another. Mr.. Battell is
leady to take him at the same price
now. Earl Warren, Orwell, sold a pair
to a Boston gentleman for 81 900, and
II. Young, a pair for the same price.
Mr.. Lewis of vergenhes, a mare for
$3.50. DR.. Gale of Orwell, sold one
lately for 800, or at least that is the
price reported.
We could extend the list much long
er, certainly, enough to make another
string of suckers that would prove to
have brought more than could be OBJ
tanned for any string of porpoIses or
what-nots sired by any Patchen or
Hambletonian stallion kept within the
State, and leave this string out. Lett us
see what the summary amounts to; TAX
ing only the actual sales and leaving
out the offers or refusals, the number
foots up to 26 sold for S29 no, and an
nexing S1,145 each, within a moderate
number Of months, all sired by one of
the despised little Morgan stations that
Col. Stowell tells us get stock that there
is no demand for. These do not in
clude a large number of sales of the
stock of the same horse sold years be-
fore at still higher prices. These were
all sired at Cream Hill stock farms
within a few years, and since the time
Col. Stowell has been breeding Oh his
theory of large, coarse stations of the
Patchen and Hambletonian strains and
others of the same strains have been
kept within the state during the same
time, and what can he show 10 prove |
there is a much better demand for hor-
ses bred according to his theory, and
that there is no demand for the Nor
gans. He certainly can show no such
array OF sales and prices received from
any of stations reared according to his
theory, and we doubt if all that have
been kept during the time within the
state. We know that Col. Stowell will
claim that there are many of the same
STOCK hat are unstable, and will not
bring such prices, but we are sure that
investigation will show that there is
a large per cent. of the PatchentoDians
that will not bring remunerative prices.
There are many farmers in Cornwall
that would be glad to sell stock from
such stations as the colonel would wish
us to believe are always sure TO get
,olts that will pay the breeder, and
sell at anything like prices that {
Will pay. A large, young bay mare
vas sold in this town within a few
ears for 300, that was sired by Wall {
Kill Chief, and we are informed that |
here are many more about Burlinptonlt
their owners would be pleased to !
ealize even less than cost for. IL
There are several more stations of
lorgan descent within Vermont that =
ould furnish lists of sales from their
took, quite equal, probably superior .
0, those from the stock from the larg-,
4, coarser stations. Halabird's Ethan
lien is making his mark as a getter of
seryiceable and good selling horses |"
ne Of them has been sold within a yearI
n $4,000, having made n record OIL

Large numbers of the stock of De- "a
ng's Ethan Allen and of Daniel Lam W

prices. Two of them, bred by W
