borse Department,

The Middlebury REGISTER now for more
thanIa year has been giving much original
and valuablet information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. II intends to con
tnue publishing such information from week
to week, giving at least a page to its Horse
Department. when sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place it in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the MorganEIIorsc, and afterwards II Reg
lister of the more distinguished sircs and
performers. In the latter we hope to include
all 2 30 performers, with their breeding, so far
as can be ascertaincd; also to distinguish be
tween things that are known and things that
are not knownkin 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 MIDDLEBURN REGISTER This,
we are satisfiedIis 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
crs and horscmcn. 1t should also be an eX-
ccllcnt medium for advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.
Preserve your files, for they will form, with
the full indexes thereto, II most valuable and
available cyclopcdia of horse matters

We have, therefore, decided to use rec
ords in place of numbers in our Trotting
Horse Breeder in the future, believing
that our readers and patrons will be
much better served. The day is not
distant when all, or nearly all. of our
trotting stock will either have records of
their own, or be from sires and dams
which made records. For example: j..

one which cost Il great deal more trouble
to compile than is apparent on the face

which is the novel feature, shows the
number of heats trotted by each horse

performances are included, but not
double team performances. Ten years
ago | thought that the , % list must

standard of merit. and the time has al
ready passed when it should do so. And

,OO6 heats have been trUtted lin the

number is. when we consider that the
first of these heats was trotted in 1853,
and that, owing to the war, none follow
ed it until Oct. 10, 1850. only twenty
wears ago, the unmiStakablc indications
are that the coming decade will at least
treble the total. No prophecy was ever

CARDINAL.

Last week we published the very COM
plete letter of j. ii. Coffee, Esq, of Indi-
annapolis, upon this very excellent stall
lion of the olden time; and we are very
much obliged to Mr.. Coffee for so inter
esting a letter.
At one time Cardinal was said to be by
Vermont Black Hawk. 1t is evident
from this letter that this was not true.
Instead of that, he was of Canadian ORR
gin. Cardinal was sire of the gray geld
ing of the same name that, in 1867, won
a record of 80.
