ROYAL GEORGE.

The Toronto (Ont.) correspondent of
the New York Sportsman writes: Ihave
been asked repeatedly by horsemen and
breeders how the dam of Royal George,
founder of the family bearing his name,
was bred, and also if the correspondence
that appears in American papers about
once year respecting her is correct. l
have on different occasions seen it stated
that she was got by Harris Hambleton-
ian, also that she was by horse called
the Bristol Horse, who was supposed to
be son of Harris Hambletonian. The
story ran that a Mr.. Ellington was TAX
ing two mares to Michigan. One of them
went lame near st. Thomas, and was
traded to Amos Barnes, who bred her to
Black Warrior and got Royal George.
This looked very probable, in fact so
probable that the breeding was accepted
as correct, and Royal George registered
as being by Black Warrior out of a mare
by the Bristol Horse.
Now / always had my doubt about the
breeding of the dam of Royal George,
and had time and again decided to ask
Barney Barnes about it the first time we
met, but by slip of memory forgot it.
So | wrote him few days ago, and re-
ceived the following answer:
ST. THOMAS, March 10, 1888.
DEAR MOOSE The dam of old ROYAL George
was brought from the old country by an OH
Ger. She was a hunter. That is all any one
knows about her. Yours,
BARNEY BARNES.
The writer of the above is son of
Amos Barnes, who bred Royal George.
He has been in the horse business all his
life and is now man between 55 and 60
years old, so that he must have been Is
years old when Royal George was foaled.
Barney is one of the best known Canadi-
an trainers of trotting horses and has now
ence to the mare being imported by an
officer from England proves that she
must have been almost if not strictly
thoroughbred. This would make Royal
George very high-bred horse, as Black
Warrior, his sire, was also out of thor.
oughbred mare and accounts for what
seemed for many day contradiction
that there was nothing strange in Royal
George string Palermo, the winner of the
Queens Plate in 1862.
Royal George was, as far as can learn
a horse very much like Clear Grit. He
could hold his own in half-mile heal
race with any horse in this section, and
could trot race when called upon. Hi:
blood is breeding on and is creeping slow
ly but surely into the 2 20 list.

Jos. BATTELL, ESQ,
Dear Sir Mr.. Geo. B. Elmer has
handed me your letter about the sire of
the dam of "Mrs. Pratt" and the address
of her breeder. do not know the adj
dress of Mrs. West. Fred Stevens adj
dress is Virgil, Ontario, and he is the
only person who can tell you about the
pedigree of the Black Warrior who sired
Mrs. Pratt's dam.
He wrote me, March 16, 1886: "Her
mother by horse of French blood; the
Wager, very speedy horse-am not
sure whether he had a pedigree or not"
Under date of March "a, 1886, he wrote
me: 'The mother of the Fred Pratt
mare was Black Wayier mare got by
a Duroc Messenger mare. The Black
Wayier was a very speedy horse" Bill
Secord owned this Black Wayier mare.
He went from here to East Saginaw,
where he died. He traded her to Mrs.
West and she had these two Niagara
Champion mares and bought them from
her and sold them to Fred Pratt.
Old Messenger Duroc stood in Batavia
and over in Niagara county at Lewiston,
and elsewhere, but that was prior to
1885. He stood in Niagara, Canada, which
is close by Virgil, in 1882. He was
known as Duroc Messenger and by 9TH
err names. There were several Black
Warriors in Canada and one or more in
Michigan. Old Black Warrior. the sire
of Royal George. stood principally at
London, st. Thomas and those neighbour
hoods, but his sons were all over the
eastern part of the Canadian peninsula. 1
don't think of anything else to say in this
connection. Yours truly,
II. BEECHER.
IS. Did you ever hear of a son of
Justin Morgan called Peter Jones? He
was taken into Allegheny Co., N. Y. He
sired Peter Jones, Jr., and he sired Or
phan Boy, brown geldng, record 2 80 or
2 1904. This Peter Jones is usually COM
founded with Jones' Cassius NJ. Clay,
but is another horse entirely. He some
times went by the name of Black Hawk.

about in few days.

told me by William Needham, now deceas-
ed, an old resident of Bristol. All horse
men who remember Mr.. Needham would
consider his sayings correct, as he was a
man Of great memory and no one would
dispute his word. In 1876 lived in part
of Mr.. Needham's house and we talked
horse good deal and about the Harris
Hambletonian stock. Mr.. Needham own
ed Green Mountain Maid when she was
three and four years old also the mare
Nankeen, both by the Harris Horse. He
sold them both to New York parties.
Green Mountain Maid beat Flora Temple
in race to wagon after she went to New
York; think he told me over the old
Fashion course. He also won race at
Middlebury with Nankeen, think over
the old track by Chapman hill. The
Chilson Horse and Hardness Horse were
by the Mobiles Horse and the Mobiles
Horse by Harris Hambletonian; also
Sontag and True John as well as the Han
chett Horse were by the Harris Horse,
He said Sontag used to pace; he used to
drive him and True John. He also owned
Little Ethan by Ethan Allen. Little
Ethan sired the dam of the Squires Horse,
owned now in New Haven.

A Free Trade Champion.

The Bangor Wing says that ''among the
by the democratic State Committee is
Col. John K. Fellows, District Attorney
for New York City. When this Col. Eel
lows ran on the Democratic ticket for his
present office there was such a revolt in
the Democratic ranks on account of his
record. which was thoroughly ventilated
in the Democratic New York World. that
an appeal was made to Reformer Cleve-
land to save the machine candidate. The
President was advised not to do this
thing, all the leading papers in New York
Democratic as well as Independent, being
solidly opposed to the election of a man so
manifestly unfit for the office. but the
President turned deaf ear to their coun-
sci and wrote letter that is to-day res
ponsible for the election of Fellows.
When Democratic papers get to work on
one of their own number they usually air
his record very thoroughly and for weeks
the World showed up the private and
public character of Col. Fellows in a most
astonishing light. Now this man, who
thought so little of his country in the DAYS
of the rebellion that he left New York to
serve in the Confederate ranks. is here in
Maine telling the people how they should
vote. In this case the champion, however
is perhaps worthy of the cause he is sent
to defend. A man who turned his back
on the Union during the war is well fitted
to argue the cause of the party who
would now destroy the industries of the
country as they once sought with the aid
of this same Col. Fellows to destroy che
government itself" \ man who served
jeff Davis as private secretary while the
rebel chief was outraging humanity by
starving Union soldiers and doing his ut
most to destroy this governments hardly
a fitting instructor of the people of Maine
in their political duties, though he may
be an appropriate advocate of British
Free Trade. which seeks the injury of our
and the control of our
markets.

THE WOOL INDUSTRY.
A Few Facts Which Concern Those In
terested In The Sheep Business,


farmer in South America or Africa oil
Australia or India may be the owner of halt
a million or million sheep. and half doz-
en- shepherd men at $40 month each,
with dozen shepherd dogs, will guard those
large focks to and from pasture, while in
this country you can find 900 farmers who
do not own such focSs of sheep, yet the
small focks of so or 500 which they all
have require hundred times more constant
earnest care during our long and severe
winters than those large fiocks which roam
the plains of South America and Australia.
Even with free lands the farmers OF Ameri-
ca cannot and could not compete with those
of other lands in the production of sheep
or in the growth of wool. Even under the
present high tariff it is seen that they cannot
compete or shut out the foreign article,
coarse or fine, when in the last eleven months
we have imported 102, 500, 900 pounds of the
raw staple; and as some of this wool was
thoroughly cleaned and secured, it will
readily be conceded that our imports even
now loom up to thirty -fve per cert of our
whole clip. 1t is admitted that the rrice of
all fine woods is relatively cheaper than ever
known before.

Reform in Connecticut.

The New Haven Register (Dem.) pub
fishes panicky appeal from the Democrat {
State Committee, and remarks in comment
on it
1--WE may as W II be frank, while we are
upon the subject, and state the situation as il
is. The chances to-day in Connecticut are
against the Democrats. The issues upoI
which the election will turn are not so simple
that they can be understood in a moment
The plausibilties of protection must be
cleared away by logical argument"
This talk about clearing away the sophis
tries of protection" by free trade arguments
is all very well at this early stage in the
campaign, but the less the free traders have
to say about free trade when the work has
begun in earnest, the better it will be fol-
them. The Democratic party's chances OF
carrying Connecticut depend very largely
upon the party's ability to hedge. But even
that is likely to fail them. The workingmen
of that State are not easily cheated by that
lying device this year.

The electionsering campaign in
America ought to be most interest
ing to the English people for his
torical, political. philosophical and
economic reasons. The
main question of issue is English
free trade against the Continental
system of protection. The repub-
lie is on trial. Good, conservative
government, under Cleveland. is
opposed by the rule and ruin party
of Blaine, whose friends nominated
Harrison, and who would certainly
be the Secretary of State under a
Harrison administration. Thus
the American people are directly
involved in the contest through
their pockets, which will be affect
ed by the tariff, and their future,
which would be seriously influenced
by the restoration to power of such
fire-brand as Blaine, with his home
rule sympathies and anti-Canadian
policy. The American election is
infinitely more important to
Englishmen than their own internal
politics just at this juncture, and
they should observe every phase
of the campaign closely and under
standingly. 1t is from this point
of view that the eopious dispatches
to the Sunday Times are cabled.
The result of the American election
will help to decide many important
issues in Great ain.-London

Address
An Able Reply to the Free Traders

Mr.. Blainc's Bangor speech is one of
his best, and like his Paris review of
Cleveland's Free Trade message, strong
and unanswerable. The remarkable sue
cess of Protection in this country since
1861, its favorable influence on the growth
of population and wealth, and its benefits
to wage-vorkers, have never been more
ably stated. 1t shows mastery grasp
of facts and thorough comprehension of
their meaning. Its logic is incisve and
exact, its style of expressing clear as
crystal, and its argument perfect as a
cube of polished granite. This compre-
hensive lucidity and solid strength of Mr..
Blaines addresses on economic questions
greatly add to their effectiveness and
command public attention. His COM
parative statement of the influence of
Free Trade on the savings of wage
workers in Great Britain, and of Protec-
ton on the savings of the wage worders of
the United States. is complete answer
to the Democratic newspapers which have
recklessly denied his former remarks on
the subject. All the lying sophistries of
his critics and political opponents are
swept away by his authoritative statistics
and convincing logic. Dry As Tariff ques-
tions may be to many minds, Mr.. Blaine
has the faculty of always discussing them
i'm manner to make them interesting to
the popular sense of appreciation. His
Bangor speech will be read with lively
interest throughout the country. and can
not fail to exert powerful influence on
the pending political campaign.
