Mr.. Raymond OF New L DIX, HORSE Duy-
er, seen at Addison House, says that the
Messrs. Williams of Georgetown, Ky,
took Canadian stations to Kentucky. He
also says that Somers took Black Hawk
stallion from Addison or vicinity, that
was kept at DR.. Hers; black horse, some
white, very good horse. | bought a
Black Hawk mare of Alexander. called

dam was bred by Mr.. Austin of Georgia.
Was got. by the Blake horse, son of Whale
bone. The Blake horse was owned by
George Blake of Georgia and sold to
Manchester, n. H., or Lowell, Mass.
Mr.. d. Eastman of Pawlet, VT, 81
years old, says that the Moultons said
that the sire or grand-sire of Biggart's
Sir Henry was the best horse he ever at
tended. TO question: think his name
was Leonidas. Biggart's Sir Henry kill
ed one man. He was a kicker. Rather
somewhat so, but better horse. Bar
ney Henry was a great heavy, coarse
horse, but good looking horse and had
the air of the Hambletonians. They, the
descendants from the Bishop Horse. were
the most airy horses you ever saw. He
got two kinds of stock, perhaps three.
Some great wooden heads that didn't
know anything, but very few of these;
the others took after himself. | never
saw the Bishop Horse, but my father did
and admired him very much. 1t was all
riding in those days. Some of the judi
son colts would stumble. Had the best
ankles and strongest joints, never saw II
SPAWN on any of them. They were in
clined to spring-halt, were spirited and
plucky. The Harris Horse was here one
season; no such snowy horse as the judi
son Horse; lower headed no such strong
coupling or back, eXcelled in shoulder;
withers of Judson horse not very high,
but head right up. The Underhills of
South Dorset brought a running horse
called Spectator here, an active horse.
l have seen lots of his stock; they were
highly priced. There was chestnut
horse called Spectator here afterward,
owned by Briggs of Manchester, blind;
sold to Western n. Y; splendid colt.
The filly of the mare that Fuller bought
of Lincoln had four colts. Two were
sold to Ezra Andrus of Pawlet, one to
Hiram Smith of Rupert, one TO Phelps,
McWain & Co. The dam of Biggart's
Rather was called the old Wilbur mare.
Kinney was a son-in-law of Fuller and
got the Fuller mare. The Andrus Horse
was good depth in chest, where he excel
led his sire. If he had been deep in chest,
would have been perfect horse. The
stock were great feeders and hence
were somewhat inclined to heaves. Mag
mum Bonum was great stock horse.
Long had two Eclipse horses. The first
good one the last not. Henry not
very good horse, but Long was good
company and great on pedigree. Mr..
Fuller who owned the Fuller mare was
buried the day we were married, 50 years
ago. The Hopkins horse was raised by
Jonathan Ransom of Rupert. Brutus
was big bay horse. used to see him
when boy. ] think he was little con-
trary; 1913 hands, 1000 pounds, blocky
built horse; this about 1920. Judson's
brother had horse that he claimed was
Morgan, This was about 1927 or lit
tie later. The first Morgan horse | re-
member was kept at Cambridge, at pub
lie house. Durrill had him. lie went to
Illinois and came back. This was over
80 years ago; bay horse, not large, 1000
pounds. The next one was old Clifford
at Walpole. | took my mare to Royal
ton to Green Mountain Morgan; three or
four days on trip. never was so struck
with any horse as with the Green Noun
tain. The colt was good one weight
at two years and some days, $50 pounds;
