THE DEMAND FOR THE VERMONT Nor
GAN AORsE,
1Continued.7


Lambert stock is desetYedly popular
and the call for young stations of this
blood is in excess of the supply. Mr.. ID.
w. Bliss of the Bread Loaf stock farms
takes to Indiana this week two colts
foalcd in lSS3-Foamng Water. by Mo
ton, dam White River. by the Warren
Horse, son of the Churchill Horse, by
Black Hawk, and Ripton by Thought,
dam Never Mind dam of Motion, , :29).
These colts have recently been sold to
parties in Indiana.
We have received many letters inqur-
ing for Morgan stock. specimens of which
are given below. Mr.. Oliver Severance
of Middlebury has IL chestnut weanling
colt by Motion @ :29), son of Daniel
Lambert, and out of daughter of Abra-
ham by Daniel Lambert, that he offers
for 5000; it is "A colt of model form of the
Morgan type. Mr.. VIM. NJ. Partch of
New Haven, VT. has IA colt coming two.
by Motion, dam by Cassius NJ. Clay. 3D.,
for which he has refused $500, but in
considered one of the best trottmg colts
in the county. There are many more
such colts; if owners want to see GUS
toners, they should advertise in the REG
IsTER. Moreover. our Vermont breed
erS should prepare to meet the
demand for this stock which is
fast becoming universal through
out the country. We have, all things
considered. the best horses in the world
and the public are finding it out. Every
worthy Vermont Morgan that leaves the
State creates demand for more. 1t is
no boast to say that it is largely through
the efforts of the REGISTER, which now
circulates from Maine to California, and
is gaining largely each week, that the
great public have been informed where
these horses are to be found. Now let
| known through our columns and both
will reap Il benefit:

information. | own the sire of l.. j. D. and
| will worry your patience Il little in giving

! the Morgans, and especially in the Lambert
strain, having been born and raised in the
same town where Ethan Allen, Daniel Lam

lily which have distinguished themselves on
the turf were raised. My horse, Aristos, jr.,
! has never had a seasons work on the track,
but has been worked little three falls latter
making a season in the stud. He met with Il
bad accident in shipping from Ticonderoga to

three years after he came here; but he has en-
tirely recovered, and is rs sound when
foaled. / trotted him three races in the fall

him intend to let him serve ten mares next
spring, then work him ana try and give him a
record to beat any made by any
other Lambert stallion. This may sound
like Boosting, but he has shown me
speed enough to lead me to believe
he can trot good mile track when in good
condition close to q 20, ifnot better.
