TO have been well patronized
and left quite numerous progeny,
whose success upon the turf has given
him reputation far exceeding that of
either of the other sons of Justin Nor
gan.
Not less than four entire sons got by
him were owned in Maine at different
times and have contributed their share
in gaining for the horse stock Of the
Pine Tree state its present reputation,
which even the best of Kentucky breed
ers acknowledge is only second to that
of the horses of the Blue Grass region.
Sherman Morgan's sons that stood i'll
Maine were the Blanchard Horse, which
was afterwards taken to St. .Johnsbury,
VT, where he died; Morgan Rat, Roy
al Morgan, known i'll Maine as Morgan
Rather and Whalebone. 1t is not i'm
probable that there were Others. Whale
bone was also known as the Clarke
horse. lie got the noted trotting mare
Blackstone Belle (2:2S 1-2) and Lady
IIamlin (2:l1 10y. lie was also the
sire of Pollard Morgan, which in turn
got Lewiston Boy, sire of Dispatch
(2:24 l-2). Lewiston Boy also got the
dams of Emperor (2:29 I2), and Knox
Boy CPS 1.2). Pollard Morgan also
got the dam of the stallion Whalebone
Knox. Whalebone, by Sherman Nor
gan, got the dam of the noted trotting
stallion Shepherds. Knapp, the best of
old Eaton's get. The dam of the Ave-
ry horso-sire of the old Eaton horse
was said to be, and undoubtedly was, a
daughter of Sherman Morgan, which
gave Shepherd F.kuapp double strain
from that source. Sherman Morgan,
Jr., another son of Sherman Morgan,
got the gray mare Dolly Warden known
as Silver Maid, which, under the latter
name, got wagon record of 2:35 l.,
and won record to harness, as Dolly
Warden, in 1881 Id Many of his 9th
err sons showed a capacity to beget
speed, the most celebrated of which
was Vermont Black Hawk.

Sixteen of these seventy have won
five races or more, and less than ten,
making in all twenty.seven that have
won five or more races each.
One of the most significant facts APP
pearing by the above table is that Dan
iel Lambert has already sired nine trot-
ters that have already trotted fifty or
more recorded races each; aud we
have good reason to believe that there
are two more, that if fully identified
under their different aliases, should be
added TO this list. The nearest APP.
proach to this record is that of Volun-
leer, who has sired six performers of
fifty or more recorded races each. No
other horse that ever lived has sired
more than three.
The facts stated in the above tables
are derived exclusively from published

Notes.

The Romans under the republic W re
prohibitionists after a fashion. Men of
honorable families were forbidden by
law to drink wine before they were o.
thirty, or to drink to excess; while
tor women of any condition, free or
slave, to touch wine on some solemn
occasion, as a sacrifice, was an offence
visited by severe penalties Hence
originated the custom of girls kissing
their parents on the lips as means of
discovery whether they had been
samping the contents of the family
amphor9. But the law, as affecting
women, was in time so far moditie
that they were permitted to drink wine
made from boiled must or raisins.

The Lincoln County leader. [volume] (White Oaks, Lincoln County, N.M.) 1882-189?, 1885-10-17

The Albuquerque Journal las d
SPECIAL spite " forninst" Sloan and
the census, because they exposed
the absurdity of the pretcnsions oi
the new town of Albuquerque TO Il
population of 10000. Consequent.
iy it has constructed n table of its
own, creditiug the Territory with
20, 600 more than it's real popula-
ton, and dividing that among the
counties according to notions Of its
own. Sierra Is credited with near
~ twice its real population. Lin
coin is deprived OF five hundred
people fully accounted for by t O
ennumeratOrs. The work cost the
officers more than they were paid.
it is true. But the Journals as
sumption that consequently they
" skinned the matter" took "thr
villages" and neglected the "iso-
lated houses and ranches" is not
true. The County of Lincoln was
the most difficult of ant % emu
merate, and the disgracetul, dcma-
gogical economy of the new ad-
ministration Of the Interior De
partment, forced the cnnumerators
to take the census largely at their
own expense. Nevertheless, we
venture to assert that no more ac.
curate census has ever been made
of large and thinly settled terri
tory. We also hazard the asser-
tn, that the census Of Lincoln
was more accurately taken than the
census Of BernalilIo. There was
no faction here dogging and tempt
ing the ennuneratOIs to make up
Il fraudulent enumeration in the
interest OF any class, interest, or
locality.
