GENERAL HANCOCK died poor man
All the property he left his widow and
grandchildren was household furniture,
which Mrs. Hancock declares in her
application for letters of administration,
does not exceed 81 900 in value. The
deceased General was in position where
he might have acquired riches, but be-
ing man of strict integrity and honor,
he did not avail himself OF his "opportu-
mites" His pay barely suficed to
maintain his social position, and he was
not Saving man." Congress should
provide for Mrs. Hancock. 1t is not
creditable to a great nation to leave the
widows of it's dead heroes to the cold
hand of charity. In this case, public
subscription has raised fund for Gen
eral Hancock's widow of about $50, 900.

BISHOPS HAMBLETONIAN.

In the History of the Town of shore
ham, by Rev. Josiah f. Goodhue, pub
lished in 1861, on page Ga appears the
following:
Bishops IIambletonian was intro
duced about forty years since, and was
kept here several years. His progeny
were of dark bay color, well formed,
rather tall in proportion to weight of
body; were good travellers, high spirited !;
among the best horses for the road and
were favorites in the market in their day.
Much of the valuable stock in this town
originated from him.
We have not yet been able to verify by
living witnesses the statement that this
horse stood in Shoreham. Among a
number of old gentlemen of whom we
have asked the question, only one, Lo-
renzo ID. Larabee, has such an impress

sion, and he is not certain, but remembers
that the stock of Bishops Hambletonian
was there. We have positive evidence
that the horse stood one or more seasons
at Casteton, Vt. If he stood at Shore
ham, we should be glad to learn how
many and what seasons.
Having learned that an old gentleman
named Phillips, who formerly had the
care of Bishops IIambletonian, was liv-
ing at Clarendon Springs, VT, we adj
dressed letter to him, which was an
swered by y. 5. Walker, Esq, of that
place, who says that Mr. Phillips has no
recollection of the horses standing at
any other place than Granville, n. Y.
Although this does not seem to be the
case, yet it tends to show that the horse
was not away from Granville very much.
We will be obliged for any information,
from our Shoreham friends, or others, on
this matter.

SECOND TRIP TO TT.

y number of weeks passed after visit
ing Woodstock before we were able to 90
again to ii. Finally there came fine
day in November that we could get away,
and, in company with the same gentleman
as before, we went. 1t took two strong
horses to pull us through the clay mud al
though the roads had partly dried since
the rains. 1t was mild day, very, for
the time of year. \ part of the time the
sun glanced out on the earth: then the
clouds darkened over the sky, the south
wind was rising and threatened IA storm
but it cleared away in the night with but
little rain.
Our first stop was at Mr.. John \.
Child's in Weybridge. He said: '.Phi-
lander Hanks of Addison had a black
horse, l5-3, weight 1850, by Edrick
Adams horse (of Panton), son of Black
Hawk; sold it to \. Drake and myself.
Ed. Everest of Nergennes had charge of
Adams horse. Adams horse was sold
West. Everest will know about him.

a grandson of Black Hawk, bought of
Reuben Sampson b. h., 1000 lbs. (; correct
proportional horse, say II II to - II
pretty good trOtter; trotted at Vergennes
with a horse called White Stockings.
Sent this horse to Morgan of Kentucky,
who dealt in Morgan horses. Never got
his pay. Guess this horse was son of
PhilO Jewett's Black Hawk. Thirty odd
years ago there was great show of
Black Hawks at Saratoga. Sherman
Black Hawk was there; think Ethan
was"
Leaving Mr.. Child's, we rounded the
north end of Snake Mountain, passing
first through the meadows of the delight

north and west; it is decidedly the plain
of Vermont, and so extensive as to sug-

who was visiting a relative there. Mr..
kingsland is straight, tall, elegant and
active gentleman, whom it seems impos-
sible to believe to be eighty-five years of
age, but such is the fact, he having been
born in 1900. Mr.. Kingsland worked for
Allen Smith in 1924 on the new house
Darius Myrick worked with him. Con-
corning the early horses of this region he
said:
81 rode Smiths Liberty when he was
three or four years old, at "A training at
Middlebury. must have been fifteen
or sixteen years old; the horse was foaled
about 1910 to 1872. Father sold him to
Allen Smith when about five years old
for pair of gray mares.
"Old Gen. Whitney had an Arabian horse 4:

same mare that brought Liberty. She
was large brown mare, pretty well
made; would weigh 1000 to 100 lbs.

her or not; she was a young mare and

SIRE OF ETHAN ALLEN.

Ethan Allen was foaled in 1919. The
advocates of the Flying Morgan story
have always claimed that his birth was
late in the season, to conform to the al
legged visit of Flying Morgan to III. the
previous September. The significant dates
from the stud book of Black Hawk given
in our last issue. settle the time of his
birth and show that the unvarying testi-
mony taken by us in III. last fall, to the
effect that he was foaled in June, was
dam of Ethan Allen was bred to Black
Hawk July 0, 1913, and June %, 1919,
prove conclusively that Black Hawk
was the sire, unless it can be shown with
equal clearness that she was bred to some
other horse within very few days of
the aforementioned date: such proof
would make the question of his paternity
doubtful, and of course it could never be
settled. 1t is needless to say that bar
room gossip or letter from reckless
and disgruntled breeder stating fact
qualified by ''that is, if half is true that
folks say" is not proof nor has any thing
in the nature of evidence that any other
horse than Black Hawk could possibly
have been the sire of Ethan Allen. ever
been offered to the public. What has
been offered is as Intellectual to establish
a doubt of the pedigree as would report
of wayside talk be to disturb IA title evil
denced by a valid deed forty years upon
the record with possession accordingly.
On the other hand, it is doubtless true
that in every controversy, long and loose
ly carried ON. as this has been. erroneous
statements will be introduced and relied
upon as facts, frequently without fault
either of the narrator or the user. Thus.
in the present case, Il late letter from Al
bert dialogue shows that he was mista-
ken in stating that he remembers of the
mares being bred to Black Hawk the
year previous to the foaling of Ethan
Allen; rs he was not in charge OF Black
Hawk till the season of 1919. The state
ment is probably an error, also, that the
dam Of Ethan was kept at Brdport
through the summer of 1913. unless she
was so kept two seasons, as she was there
La Roque's first season. 1919. 1t is not
impossible that the memory of Mr.. Yale,
also, may he at fault as to the year that
DIR. Russell drove Flying Morgan to III.
1t is fortunate that the fact is not at the
mercy of uncertain memories, but stands
upon contemporary and unanSwcrable
record.
