Porse Department.

The Middlcbury REGISTER now for more
thania year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. II intends to con-
tinue publishing such information from week
to week, giving at least Il page to its Horse
Department. When sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place it in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and afterwards Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers. In the latter we hope to include
all 2 80 performers, with their breeding, so far
as can be ascertained; also to distinguish be.
tween things that are known and things that
are not known, in every pedigree. In all cas-
es the evidence upon which the pedigrees are
based will be given to the public through the
columns of THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER. This,
we are satisfied, is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason of this extensive
information and this method OF giving it, is
rapidly becoming Indispensable to all breed
ers and horsemcn. 1t should also be an eN-
eellent medium for advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.
Preserve your files, for they will form, with
available cyclopedia OF horse matters.

Charles b. Clarke of Boston. The dam
and colt were black in color and were ex-
hibited at the United States National
Agricultural Exposition held in that city
in 1850. This colt was sold by the side
of its dam. and under eight months of
age, for Sl40O Just before old Black Hawk
died, leaving this heir to carry more of
the sire's blood than any other of his get.
About this time moved West. thence to
California and kept no trace or account
of his merits"
A Western editor vaguely hints that
the secret of the size of Black Flying
Cloud was due to the fact that "a large
Clay horse was a near neighbor of Hills
Black Hawk in his lifetime" but fails to
mention the name of the Clay horse in
question. Mr.. Jewett's standing i'm the
community and his statement of facts
which came under his own observation.
however. are sufficient to settle that
point. The increase of size resulting
from in-brceding in the Black Hawk fam

who knew her as standing from 10 ID to
sixteen hands in height, and weighing
100 pounds.
Many of the characteristics of this mare
were strongly stamped upon her son and
transmitted by him to his offspring
Breeding Black Hawk to his own pro
geny had tendency to intensity these
characteristics. and one of the conSequen

THE DEMAND FOR MoRGANS.

There is growing demand in all parts
of the country for the descendants of the
old-fa>hioned Morgan stock. and those
who have been breeding from its best
branches during the past few years are
sure to be well paid for their staunch
friendship toward this most useful family.
which for beauty. hardness and docilitv
combined have never been surpassed.
Gentlemen of wealth and refinement are
becoming more particular in their tastes.
and demand that their roadsters shall
possess beauty. style and finish as well
as speed. These are just the qualities
that the Morgans can impart to their of
spring when crossed with the most dis
tinguished trotting families. and that. too.
without detriment to speed. The Nor
gan star is surely in the ascendency, and
those who argue that their good qualities
have long since been washed away by
largely diluting the original blood are adj
vancing a theory which can be sustained
only by mathematical calculations.-C

BLACK FLYING CLOUD.

rom ne American NultlNatOr.I
1t is generally admitted that the in
breeding of trOtting stock has a tendency
to diminish size. While this may be true
in most cases, there are notable eXcep-
tons. Remarkable instances of the latter
are found in the Black Hawk branch of
the Morgan family. Aristos (2.27 "a,
Lambertus, Champlain, Addison Lam
bert (2.27) and Ben Franklin (2.29).
were all by Daniel Lambert, grandson of
Hills Black Hawk. from dams of Black
Hawk descent, yet all are good-sized
animals, and get stock of the same de-
scription.
One of the most notable instances of
found in the Black Hawk family is Black
Flying Cloud, sire of Badger Girl
(2.22 l-2). This stallion was bred by
Mr. solomon Jewett, well known all
over the country as an old-time enter
priSing breeder of tine-woOled sheep IT'S
well as horses. In letter to the Guilt
vator some years ago, Mr.. Jewett states
that concerning the vexed question Of
close breeding, | am in possession of
some remarkable facts showing the
characteristics of the Black Hawk stock
in this direction
"While at Weybridge, VT, bred a
Black Hawk mare, at three years of age,
to its sire, with marked success also with
repetitions. One of her first three-quar-
tiers Black Hawk was early settled at
Medina, n. Y, and was afterwards re-
moved to Whitewater, Wis. At four
years this horse, Black Flying Cloud,
measured fully l6 IL hands in height
and weighed 100 pounds. This same
horse was probably the sire of as many
high priced Morgan colts as any other
American horse in his day, many of
which were noted for speed and as fine
roadsters. Colts of his get were sold at
prices ranging from $1,000 to $1,000 each.
"A sister to Black Flying Cloud,
weighing over 1000 pounds, at four years
of age foaled a horse-colt, seven-eights

THE BREEDING OF THE HACKETT HORSE
AND FLYING MORGAN.

AND FLYING MORGAN.
Martin Hackett of Hancock, VT. 20
years old says his father, John Hackett
of Hancock bred the Hackett horse; he
was foaled on John Hackett's farm in
Hancock, and was always owned by him
until he died at the age of IS years. He
was got by Clifford Morgan; of his dam
Mr.. IIackett said, q" | don't know where
he got the mare that brought the horse
and don't know of any one that does.
| have heard it said that she was a little
black mare; guess there was no Wood
bury about her, but don't know.
This is Mr.. Hackett's description of
the Hackett Horse: " \ dark chestnut
horse with some white hairs in his coat !;
good style horse, square built; would
weigh 1000 lbs in good flesh
Albert Flint of Hancock, - years old.
says the dam of Flying Morgan was a
black, Morgan-built mare with wide,
fiat legs, heavy name and tail; low-built
and would weigh about $50 lbs. She
came to Granville, Addison Co.., VT.
from Pomfret in Windsor county. and
was owned in Granville by one Richard
son. lie bred her to the Hackett Horse
and then moved to Lincoln, Addison Co.,
where Flying Morgan was foaled. John
Bicknell, now of Bristol, VT, bought the
colt. lie was carrying on Riley Adams
farm in Bristol, and Adams got half in
terest in the colt. DIR. Russell afterwards
got Bicknel's other half interest for a

CUTTERS COMET AND GREEN
MOUNTAIN BOY ALIAS FARRA-
GUT AND BAY BILLY.


We are indebted to Mr.. Hugo NJ. Book
of Richland City. Wis. for the following
in relation to the bay gelding Green
Mountain Boy, alias Farragut, alias Bay
Billy: II enclose you letter from A.
A. Spear, who writes me that Green
Mountain Boy was sired by Cutters Com
ct before the horse left Vermont. also
send letter of G.. X. Wesson. and regret
that his letter of a previous, date has gone
astray, and cannot be found Just now.
In the missing letter Wesson states that
upon the death of Mr.. White. Green
Mountain Boy (Farragut) was placed in
his hands by his estate to prepare for
sale, who took him to New York, the
horse being appraised at $1,000. Wes-
son was offered $4,000 after showing a
half in ! 90 81 on Fleetwood track. but
took him back to Worcester. Mass,
where he wintered him. That winter the
horse fell on the ice and injured both
knees. You will CLEAN the further his
tory from the letters" Mr.. G.. r. IVES
sons letter: "Farragut trotted in Bos-
ton in 1871, and won three races in
straight heats, as you will see by the
records. In the spring of 1872 / tool;
him to New York and was offered $1,000
for him after showing ! :09 81 over
Fleetwood track. The horse trotted a
mile in , %. The next fall, after getting
Il fall on the ice and banging up both
knees, | sold him to Dan Mace for $1,000.
The horse died in the spring of 1873 of
lung fever. This is all | can tell vol
about him." a. A. Spears letter: ssh
months after sold Green Mountain Boy
Robert Bonners brother in New Yorl
offered Mr.. T. c. White Go whom | solo
HIM $4,000 for him. After White pur
chased the horse he changed his name t.
Farragut. He did all his trotting while
owned by me, without training. and
sold him for $1,000. | trotted him il
eleven races and never lost but one o
them. The first race White trotted hin
on the turf was match race, 81 900 ;
side, at Mystic Park. Farragut won il
straight hcats."
Mr.. Book says further: II will men
ton another son of Cutters Comet. whicl
| regarded as slick one. one mornin.
in which Carl Bates started for Manche>
ter. Ia. said he. the horse that beat
Careless will trot three heats better than

which could have entered the 80 list Il
any time, Farragut, record. , 81 II. an,

Ter, Comet: DIR. Cutler kept no rec

never paid attention to letters abOu
them: therefore Comets get have gOn

Comet was remarkably speedy, but wa
