borse Department.

The Middlebury REGISTER now for more
than year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. 1t intends to con.
tinue publishing such information from week
to week, giving ut least n 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 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-
cs 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 ana
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 horsemen 1t should also be an OK
ccllent medium for advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.
Preserve your files, for they will form, with
the full indexes thereto, most valuable ana
available cyclopedia of horse matters.

whether they are living now or not. The
whole of them were doctors. There are
several old men here that knew the old

Old DIR. John Muzzey died in 1881. DR..

LETTER FROM RANDOLPH HUNTINGTON

ROCHESTER, y. Y, May u, 1856.
EditOr Register Permit me to thank
you for the good work you are doing.
have watched your columns carefully al
! could the past three months, conSider1
ing my many cares. and have longed I'd
encourage you. Many years ago | was
induced through letters addressed to me
by j. II. Wallace to assist him in his
compilations by giving him information
relating to horses in this country. His
first volume was, To me. a large colec-
ton of errors; and | presumed to pointU
some of them out to him. and continued
to do so until found that it was not sd
much the truth that he wanted as it was
the money for registry; and even then,
certain class of sustaining influence.
combining vanity with preiudices Com
ceited ignorance Once this influenced
was secured, his financial condition
would be ample for all time. My re-
plies to his inquiries continued until |
was so Thoroughly disguised with the |
man whom had never seen, and haveI
not to this day, that ceased TO answer
him; from which time | have frequently
been libeled in his so-called oracle. Val
ldce'S MOHthly. to none of which have |
in any way replied. 1t was impossible|
for a single individual to contend against
the hvdra-headed enemy his increasing
worshippers arrayed against me, earnest
for blood and breeding in the horse,
rather than prejudice and printed ink
breeding, which IIdUNce's Monthly and
1rOtiiNg RegjSter were establishing.
Young men, also middle-aged and even
old men engaging in horse trading,
learned to rely upon Wallace as authori-
u N M
of money for his investigations and reg
istry, after which they would back him
with their pile to sustain his errors.
Ii was this that decided me To compile
from my diaries of years CLAY his
tor; and later, to bred a perfectly pure
family of horses, beginning with the
blood of Henry Clay, which horse and
his &c 40 man, living or dead. knew as
much about rs myself. Repeatedly. the
past four years, | have been imporluned
by letters from gentlemen at different
points to register my horses and colts
with j. II. Wallace; that it would be 10
my financial interest to do 50. My re-
plies We're always the same, asking the
question, in what way. Every head of
my brood stock in mares and horses |
knew from the time they were born. as
did their sires and dams; then as | put
my own stations and attended the mares
at time of foaling, noting down every
mark upon the foal while its skin and
hair was yet moist, could not for the
life of me see how this compiler of false
pedigrees could improve upon what |
knew with my own eyes, and which he
had never seen.
As have not written a letter of inn
pOrtance, or sent manuscript by way of
contribution To any man or Journal in
forty years without first taking Il copy
in my letter press, am pretty strongly
fortified Wishing you success, am
Truly yours,
Il. HUNTINGTON.

and that he thought the offer very liberal;
that the pedigree was of no value to him
and that he would return it, and wanted
to know how much it would take to pay
the claim. 1t seems Mr.. Holabird had
forgotten in regard to the letter he wrote
Mr. Crane. the same as he had forgotten
the name of the one he had the mare of.
The offer of the services of the horse for
pay was provoking; one can think Of the
trouble and expense of taking IA mare one
hundred miles and back, and the risk of
having a colt. a letter was written stat
ing that fifty dollars would settle the bill.
There was no reply. We did not feel in
a hurry to press the claim, as we thought
it safe, but the first we learned Mr.. IIol-
abird was dead and his estate settled.
We inferred he was not exactly pleased
with the pedigree. The Walker blood
not only gives speed when crossed with
trotting blood, but it gives size. 1t was
from the Walker horse that the dam of
llolabird's Ethan took her size, and it
was his blood that caused her to transmit
it to her progeny. The Walker horse
was blood bay, 16 hands high, and
weighed at times 1850 lbs. OF course he
had no speed himself, though it was
claimed he could trot in three and half
minutes. Yet he sired quite a number
that trotted in three minutes and 2 40.
The Rooney horse, that has two in the
2 80 list, was by the Walker horse.
1t will be seen that Wallace in his first
volumes gave to this horse the usual
Messenger dam, upon some authority
which he doesn't care to state, although
he admits it was not that of his owner
and breeder. Had it not been for the re-
searches of Mr.. Thomson, which Wal
lace had nothing to do with, this pedi-
gree would still be doing service. as that
of the dam of the Morse horse. Young
Columbus, Goldsmith Maid and thou
sand others more or less continue to that
are equally false.
Mr.. Wallace mas done good deal-we
might say great deal-of good work in
compiling pedigrees of the trotting horses,
but it is questionable whether if his books
were not revised he would not accom-
plish as much harm as good for they
contain truth and error in about equa
proportions, and there is no way to dis
tinguish between them. His books may
be valuable in forming a basis upon
which others may build, and by accurate
honest and persistent work produce ;
volume that in all respects will be relia
Bile. 1t is greatly to be regretted tina
Mr.. Wallace has not himself the qualtie,
necessary to do this work. but he ha
M
city won't do it. He is also able. bu
he lets his passions run away with hi
ability. lie has not that loyalty to trutl
that plods on through all difficulties t.
find it, not permitting passion, preiudic
or interest to interfere. without whicl
no such work can be accomplished. Tn
public will have to look elsewhere for au
thority upon the breeding of the trottin!
