S6orsc Department.

The steadily-growing popularity of the
Morgan horse, and the increasing demand
for animals bred from the best existing
lines of that blood, with pedigrees that can
be vouched for as authentic, has led the ed
itors of this department to undertake the
collection and veriication as far as posi-.
ole, of Morgan pedigrees from the time of
the original Justin Morgan to the present
In connection with this work we are also
investigating the pedigrees of all trotting
horses that have proved their powers of en-
durance by trotting fifty or more public
and recorded races each. We have already
received from original sources a large
amount of important information in both
these lines, much of which will be given in
these columns. For the completion of our
work, which will be published In book
form, we want pedigree, description and
history of every meritorious stallion de-
scended in direct male line from Justin Nor
gan that has ever been used for stock pur-
poses. Blanks for this information will be
furnished free on application. Questions of
public interest concerning Morgan horses
will be answered in this department. AL
communications in this department may be
addressed to w. H. Bliss, Rochester, Vt.

But with his usual habit of guessing
where he don't know and guessing
wrong, Wallace states in his 3rd VOL
that this mare probably came from
Canada, and in the 9th, after several
years of investigation, he calmly places
her to the credit of Benedict Morrill,,
and on her record and that of Tom
Pink makes Benedict a STANDARD"
The above facts show beyond question
that this mare was by Hutchinson Nor
rill, whose pedigree is given below:
Hutchinson Morrill,, sometimes called
Smith Morrill,, was a dark bay horse
with black points, standing l6 IA hands
high and weighing 1900 lbs; foaled July
IA, 1859; bred by j. w Smith, Tun-
bridge, VT. sired by Old Morrill,, son
of Jennison colt; dam by Gen. Hib-
bard, son of Woodbury. Morgan; sec
ond dam by Bulrush, SOL of Justin
Morgan. He was owned by his breed
er till May, 1879, when he was pur-
chased by Hezekiah Hutchinson ofTun-
bridge, at whose stables he always
stood. lie died in March, 1885.
This horse was always we'll patron
lied and was widely known as a getter
of large and powerful roadsters, many
of which showed speed; they were
eagerly sought by purchasers and CON-
manded good prices.
Mr.. Charles l.. Woodwork, who dis
covered the above pedigree of Fanny,
has the brown colt Keenankle, son of
Hutchinson Morrill, dam by the Charles
Smith horse, son of the Peck horse, by
Vermont Black Hawk; second dam by
Rocky Mountain, which he will use in
the stud in Cadyville, N. Y, and vicin-
ity. This promising colt was foaled in
1888. lie is the result of a cross that is
becoming very popular-Morrill and
Black Hawk-and will get stock like
himself, of good size, high finish and
plenty of speed.

A BRIDAL FREAK.
The Funny Couple that Drove Around the
Streets i'm Wedding Garments.

Baltimore American.
The sight of blushing bride, in full bridal
costume, sitting in an open buggy on Baltimore
street, met the eyes Of all passers-by yesterday
afternoon. The bride-who looked Old enough
to know better-wore a wreath OF orange bios
SONS and smilax and veil. while her hands
encased in white kid gloves, and her feet in
white kid shoes. At her bosom she wore large
bunch Of orange blossoms. The white contrast
ed greatly with her raven black tresses, which
fell in rngets about her neck Her hus
band wore a full suit of store clothes, and
straw hat. He had great difficulty in steering
the poor horse, and the buggy looked AS if it
would fall to pieces. The bride and groom rode
up and down Baltimore street, much to the
amusement of the crowds on the street, and i'll
vain tri ed to find a photographer who would
take them. At last they found one near Gay
street When the groom found the place, he had
much trouble In getting the horse and buggy up
to the curb, and at last had to get out and lift
the buggy into position. Then he lifted his wife
out, and she stood on the pavement in all her
bridal glory and finery, the observed of all OBJ
servers; but she did not mind that, and seemed
to care more for the safe disposal of bandboX
and a lace shawl than the crowd who watched
her. The couple went into gallery. but
there they could not be taken large
enough, and they came down again
and went into another The groom put
on his white kid gloves, and they had per
fectly assumptions time sitting for their
picture in bridal costume. Several plates were
used before good negative secured, be-
cause the groom insisted upon kissing the bride

got out a white bonnet and put it on Then the
couple left The groom went into tho middle of
the street, and, after taking off the steamboat
hawser that tied the horse to the htching-post,
turned him off so the wheel would not dirty
the brides white dress, and the lady, unassisted,
hoped into the buggy. He followed her, and
soon the vehicle and it's precious load went
down the street and out of the city toward Phil
adelphia.

but was returned by the officials because
it would be in the way and use up air which the
prisoner would require. A smaller lamp with a

tedium of prison life uncompainingly. although
evidently despondent at times. AT first, he did
