OUR COMPLIMENTS.

To our friends who take special interest in
this department we are pleased to offer II New
Years gift in the shape of an added page, Civ
ing double space, and, we hope, more than
double value. The exceeding favor with
which our work has been received by the pub
lie, and the abundance of excellent material
that has accumulated in our hands for want
of space for publication in this department has
seemed to us to warrant and demand this cX-
tension. We hope and expect, by increased
effort to promote the interest and value of
this branch of our work in even greater de-
If the coming year shall give us the measure
of success that Ithe past year has foreshad-
owed, our paper at the next New Year will be
one of the first of the New England Weeklies,
and the Horse Department among the most
popular as well as the most valuable publica-
lions of its kind in the land.
Our work on Morgan Pedgrees is progress
sing rapidly, but we are not yet able to ans
wer the many inquiries as to when the book
will be published. We hope to complete and
give il to the public before the close of the
present year. In the meantime, send us the
pedigrees of Morgan stations. We want all

ual methods of furnishing testimony re-
specting doubtful or disputed pedigrces.
We cndcavor,as far as possible, to enable
any reader to arrive at his own conclu-
sions respecting these questions, by Civ
ing him the whole testimony Just as it
came to us. We only take care that the
evidence shall be respectable and worthy
of credit, and then give it entire, al
though we may have plenty of reason to
suppose that the witness is mistaken or
the evidence inaccurate upon some points.
This appears to us to be the best and sur
est way of arriving at truth, as well as
the more interesting way for the reader,
who then has an opportunity to exercise
his own Judgment and is not bound to
rest upon opinions cut and dried for him.
Moreover, if evidence is to be given to
testimony is all in, it will be found very
dangerous to suppress any portion as be-
ing erroneous. because it not infrequent-
ly happens that the truth lies in state
ments that the expert in these matters
would at first reject as obvious errors or
sheer fabrications. On the other hand,
while pursuing this method it would be
obviously unfair to hold us as vouching
for, or in any way committed to, any
statement of fact or theory that may APP
pear in such testimony. We shall ex-
press our opinion eventually upon all i'm
portant questions raised, but until so cX-
pressed we do not wish to be understood
as holding any given view by reason OF
any evidence appearing in the course of
publication.

THE PRINCE OF THE WOODBURY.
MORGANS.

Six sons only of Justin Morgan are
known to have been used for stock pur-
poses: these were Sherman. BulruSh,
Woodbury., Revenge, the Hawkins Horse
and the Fenton Horse. The first three
only founded families. the others appar-
emily having done but little service with
the exception of Revenge, whose stock
was for some time favorably known
about Claremont, y. H.. and to which
some pedigreeS now make uncertain
claims to trace. 1t has been before no
ticed that from each of the three sons
whose blood was perpetuatcd, one or
more families of trottcrs have sprung.
From Sherman came the Black Hawks,
with numerous and excellent sub-fami-
lies, among which the Iamberts are now
the most distinguished; from Bulrush
day by the Winthrop Morrills, the Fear
naughts and others. Articles on these
two lines of blood have already been Civ
en- in these columns. We now turn to
the descendants of Woodbury. Morgan,
and find among them two rising trotting
families-the Magma Chartas and the
Golddusts.
The above cut is said to be an excel
lent likeness of Golddust at four years
old. He was then magnificent colt six
teen hands high and of the color of pure
gold. He always bore himself, as did
his grandson, Clifford, like the lord of
many lands. lie was horse of unsur-
passed beauty and symmetry of form, had
high carriage and intelligence and an
easy and powerful natural trOtting ac-
ton. At maturity he weighed 1873
pounds and was as perfectly sound and
lively at sixteen rs at three years of age.
No description of him could aid the
above excellent portrait in giving an i'm
preston of the form and appearance of
Golddust. We have, through the kind
ness of Mr.. Dorsey, a Autograph of Gold
dust at sixteen years from portrait
from life by Van Dusen. This picture
shows little finer muzzle, somewhat
more arching neck and little greater
depth of barrel, as would be natural at
full maturity; otherwise it is precisely
the same horse given in this Illustration.
His marks were white off hind ankle
and the suggestion of a star in the fore
head.
Golddust was bred by l.. l.. Dorsey,
Esq, at Eden Stock Farm, near Louisville,
Ky, and was foaled in 1850. His sire
was Vermont Morgan, son of Barnard
Morgan, by Clifford, by Woodbury.,
by Justin Morgan. The dam OF
Golddust was deep red chestnut mare
sired according to Saunders) by Zilca
die, chestnut Arabian horse presented
by the Sultan to Mr.. Rhind and by him

BEING A TRUE HISTORY OF THE DAM OF
ETHAN ALLEN.

"Didst heed, Horatio; I'll take the ghosts

A few weeks ago | had occasion tol
drive over to III, and whilst there made
enquiries in relation to the dam of Ethan
Allen. l was referred to Mr.. William
Arthur as the most reliable authority in|
such matters; and as a man of most
wonderful memory.
Pretty much all, perhaps all, of what
purported to be authentic testimony hith-
erto published about this mare has BEEN
given by Wallace. In the April number
of his magazine for 1877, in an article of
much merit entitled "History of Ethan
Allen by the Editor" Wallace says:

Good Results of Advertising.

There is no better evidence needed to
prove that business is reviving through
out the country than that afforded by the
advertising columns OF the newspapers.
1t is a well-known fact that the more
prosperous the times are the greater is
the amount of advertising. Every one
who has anything to sell desires to reap
his snare of the harvest. 1t is possible
that the novice in business may waste
part of his advertising fund in hand bills,
circulars, and other comparatively
worthless methods OF advertising, but the
advertiser of experience looks to the
newspaper-that is the genuine newspa-
per-for the best results from his efforts to
attract the attention, and secures the
patronage of the public.
The newspaper not only prints his
advertisement, but it presents it to
thousands of probable customers, who
have the money with which to purchas e
what the advertiser has to sell. The in :
experienced advertiser, who seeks pub
licity through mediums other than tn e
newspaper, has only to look into the
waste baskets of his neighbors and in the
cutters of the streets to discover that his
money has been wasted.
One of the most notable instances of a
change in the method of advertising is pre-.
scented by the great soap house of Colgate
& Co. This house had not used the news
papers until lately for several years, but
had been quite liberal in all other kinds of
advertising. Within the last week or two,
however, the firm has been Ding a large
amount of very effective advertising in
the shape of page and one-half page car
toons. such as have appeared in the
MORNING NEWS. This course of a
wealthy, careful and conservative BUSH
ness house, as Colgate's is, is one of
the best evidences OF the superiority of
newspaper advertising to all other kinds.
1t is stated-and the statement shows the
value of newspaper advertising-thatt the
sales Of the Colgate soap in this city have
more than doubled since the advertise
ment of it appeared in the MORNING
NEWS.
The tendency to increase the size OF ad-
The MORNING News has now
several contracts for page ad-
Yertisements. Two CITY iirms who have
entered the arena OF mammoth advertis-
ing report very gratifying results. They
say that the effect ia instantaneous.
Other and smaller advertisers also daily
give testimony OF the good effects of ad.
vertising. There is no doubt, however,
that the more attractive an advertise
ment Is the greater the results to adver-
Users are.
