Horse Notes,

The following complimentary words
for the popular stallion "Cobden,
owned by W. S. Bailey, of East Hard
wick, whose advertisement appears in
this paper, we take from the An1erj-
can CultiUdtOr:
Mr.. William II. Tourtelotte, mana
ger of the Bates farm in Watertown
for many years past, has handled a
large number of Lambert's offspring.
Some two weeks since Mr.. Tourtel-
otte remarked that Golden was I'M
doubtedly the best bred entire son OF
| Daniel Lambert, and the best driving
Lambert that he ever sat behind. AL
though very spirited horse he is per-
fectly fearless, and so kind that any
lady can handle him in a carriage
with safety. He is "upheaded" and
resolute, but easily guided, drives as
straight as an arrow and never SHES,
or shows the least disposition to do
anything wrong, and knows no other
gait but trot. These are among the
most valuable qualities that a gentle
mans roadster can possess. Golden,
so far, has had but little opportunity
to show his capacity as sire. The
few foals he has got, however, are of
good size and substance, possess
pleasant dispositions, are natural trot-
tiers, and are strongly marked with
the best characteristics of the Lambert
family. His choice breeding is a suf-
ficient guaranty that when crossed
upon mares of even a fair share of
merit he will produce elegant gentle
mems roadsters, and no son of the
renowned Daniel Lambert is better
entitled to perpetuate the valuable
Morgan characteristics or surpass
their sire in getting speedy trotters.
