Porse Department.


The increasing prosperity of the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't a tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. AS such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
MS hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, g. s. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. s. of Biggart's
Rather, and many others.
This is prominently the kind of informa-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees not
only the minated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.
Terms, $3.50 per year. Tell your neighbors
Spread the circulation. We want the REGIS
TER to go upon every farm in the country,
from Maine to California and there are sew
eral it does not yet reach.

LAST MOMENTS OF A HORSE
DEALER.
From the Turf Register, 1872.

thC u iottii iCf-.J
In a small room situated above the sta
bles of a certain yard which shall be
nameless lay stretched upon a bed of
death the scarcely animate corpus Of Mr..
Jonathan Ginger, horse dealer, livery
stable keeper, and h%ackneyman. The
pallid and bloated cOu~ntenance, the eyes
deeply sunk in their orbits, and which
erst sparkled with so lively an express
sion of cunning, but in which there was
now, alas. "no speculation and the
short and gasping respiration, betoken-
ing the too oft repeated inhibition of
Barclays double stout and Hodges treb-
led distilled, indicated but too truly that
if Mr.. Jonathan Ginger had not discov-
cred ''death in the pot" he had succeeded
was now lying at the mercy of the grim
monster, whose claws were already out
stretched to seize upon their prey, with
whose period of mortal agony he seemed
playfully to daily, even as the wanton
young Grimalkin is wont to whet her
appetite for slaughter by the exhibition
of certain fugitive efforts of the crippled
victim of her talons.
The uncertain light admitted into the
bedroom which was situated under the
covered ride of the yard scarcely sut1iced
in conjunction with the feeble rays emit
ted by a mutton dip, to display the orna-
ments with which the walls were decor
ated. After the eye had become some
what habituated, however, to the sort of
claire-obscur, which reigned in the apart
ment, the difficulty of discerning sur
rounding objects became sensibly dimin-
ished and it was then apparent that the
taste of the proprietor had furnished his
sleeping-room principally with certain
implements with his business, as divers
neat crops and thongs, arranged in spe-
cial order one over the other; sundry
pairs of spurs, some straight and stout,
others bent upwards at a trihing angle,
and others again whose shafts declined
in a slight degree in the opposite direc-
ton; curious bits of almost every mag
Unable form; and stirrups of every des-
cription-slight and finely tempered for
the jockey; stout and serviceable for the
road or field; opening with a spring for
such as deemed their power of horseman-
ship scarcely capable of securing them
from a tumble rough bottom and smooth
bottom; squarish, semi-circular, and ell
liptical.
Above these choice specimens of our
dealers fancy hung colored prints in
oaken frames, whose subjects were Won
derfully typical of the spirit of their pos
SCISSOR. Here might be seen two fighting
cocks, each with spur on leg and out
stretched neck anxiously waiting for an
opening to commence the attack and sci

move on the part of his adversary where
by he might leave unguarded some little
spot wherein to drive the shining steel

SUNDRY

We are receiving constantly letters of
very valuable information upon the hors-
es of the country. Among Others lately
has sbeen one containing pedigree and
history of Old Sam, or Pruden's Blue
Bull. This comes from an absolutely re-
liable source and includes the breeding
of his dam. We have evidence, too, that
makes it certain that if Mr.. Stone, breed
er of the great Blue Bull, to date the
greatest of all sires of $50 performers,
is correct as to year he was foaled, 1854,
he was not got by the Pruden's Blue
Bull. Our own opinion is that Mr.. Stone
is wrong in his date, but it will all come
out in good time. We give below two
valuable letters recently received-one
from Randolph Huntington, the other
from Geo. w. Bradstreet, Esq, of Roy
alton:

Dear Sir:-Iours with blanks received,
and will fill them out as well as | can.
| have a memorandum book that | left
with the probate Judge, as my account as
administrator was on 1t; also the pedi-
gree of Morgan Black Hawk; but | think
| can remember as written out by G..
Freeman, y. H.. the man | bought him
of. | will here say Mr.. Sager was a New
Hampshire man, went to Philadelphia
and made a fortune and when his father
died the farm came into his possession
and he made it a stock farm. He had
seen old Black Hawk, and went to Bos-
ton and tried to buy a mare owned by a
doctor, but he would not part with her.
She was said to be the fastest and best
bred mare in Boston. Mr.. Sager tried to
hire her to raise a colt. but the doctor re-
fused to let her, but Mr.. Sager insisted
he should set a price for her use to be
sent to Black Hawk. He said he would
take 500. Mr.. Sager paid it and paid
David Hill 500 for the service of Black
Hawk. The result was the black stallion
