PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER Is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority i'll
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 It's
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-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
OF Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, e. s. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. 8. OF Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is eminently 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 animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

TEMPERANCE.

The following editorial is from the
Voice of November 10, 1888. 1t is enti-
tied, Earnest Words to Southern Men,:
"No good comes from refusing to look
facts squarely in the face. a fact is
persistent, stubborn thing. We may
scold at it, deny its existence, turn our
heads or shut our eyes, but it is still
there, unchanging and Interchangeable.
Here are several facts, men of the South;
facts that you must look at:
''rhe Democratic party is defeated,
badly defeated, having lost the Presiden-
cy and both houses of Congress and this,
Notwithstanding that it has been in power
but four years and has given the country
an administration that was little COM
planned of. After a quarter of a century
of struggle it got the reins of govern
ment into its hands, but had not strength
enough to retain them after it got them
"Another fact the Republican Con-
gress will at once admit into the sister,
hood of States, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Montana and Washington Ter
ritories. This will add eight members to
the Republican side of the Senate, and
will help every way the political suprem-
acv of the solid North. What political
folly, suicidal folly, it would be for the
South from this time on to so manage,
politically, as to array solid South against
the larger solid North. That is just what
the Dorseys, the Elkins, the Quays wish !;
1t gives them their opportunity. The
South, by continuing its solidty, is do
ing battle against the multiplication ia
Bile, and in the end must surrender to the
most dangerous elements now in control
of American politics, Dudley, Quay Il
Co. In fight of this kind the South is
helpless. Its influence upon the govern
ment will be nil. 1t is not to the adyan-
tage of the South, 1t is not to the advan-
tage of the country, that any one great
section should be denied its legitimate
influence upon the government. This is
government of the people by the peo-
pie. But if solid section continues to be
arrayed against solid section, it will be
henceforth a government of the people
by its larger and ever victorious North
ern section. 1t is great unwisdom for the
less numerous section to permit such a
division of voters day longer than it
can help it.
"What should the South do: Will it
permit us to urge upon its onsideration
what seems to us wise, patriosic course
We look at the Southern situation from a
distance. One may be too near for full
view. Distance gives wider survey, a
broader view. At any rate, we wish the
men and women in the South who believe
in the publication of politics, in temper
ance reform, to listen to our words.
ST you will interpret rightly the signs
of the hour, this your defeat is grand
opportunity. The overwhelming reed
of the country is Il re-division of voters

ANSWER.

Gen. Putnam is the sire of the grey gel
ding Major :24a), and of no other 2 80
performer so far as the records show.
He is a STANDARDIZED horse, as is De-
longs Ethan Allen, which is noted as a
great roadster sire and has several in the
2 80 list. This makes your mare STAN
dard and eligible as such to registry in
the American Tptting Register. Adj
dress John H. Wallace, Broadway, New
York. She is also eligible to registry in
our Morgan Register, for which the fee
is one dollar. Patience, her full sister,
was successful in South America and was
one of the most perfect roadsters ever
bred. She was sold for very large
price.

LADY ROLFE.
Des Nome.
From Spirit OF the Times.l

from spirit oil the Times.
In 1880 the bay mare Lady Rolfe, by
Tom Rolfe, made record of 2 :22t as a
siX-year-old. She subsequently became
the property of the late Commodore n.
w. Kittson and was placed in the stud at
Midway Park. Her first produce was the
bay mare Daisy Rolfe, by Blackwood,
Jr., in 1884. The two succeeding years
she foaled the bay colts Collector and
Rolfe, to Revenue, and in 1887 threw the
brown colt Brentwood to the cover
of BlackwOod, Jr. This year she was
bred to All So, a son of Blackwood,
Jr., and was purchased by Mr.. j. |.
Case at the KittsOn sale June last. Find
ing she was not in foal to All So, she was
bred to Phallas in July and caught. The
following month she was worked on the
roads. At the Racine fair, held in Sep
TENDER, she struck pace, and was given
several fast repeats afterward at that
gait. Sept. rs she started at Elkhorn,
Wis, and got pacing record of 2 rs. 1t
was discovered that nothing was required
to change her gait but shifting of the
bit. Oct. 2, at Kenosha, Wis, she beat
Altamura in match race, trotting the
fastest heat in 2 :23 against Il high wind
She was turned out for few weeks, and
Oct. IL started at Kenosha in match
against Star IIambletonian, which she
won, reducing her trotting record to , ~
after an interval of eight years. These
performances stamp Lady Rolfe great
mare. The dam of four colts, no reg
ular track work for four years, of un-
fashionable pedigree, the chances were
greatly against her of lettering her rec
ord and creating new one at the lateral
gait. Her colt by Phallas should be a
clinker.
Lady Rolfe's performance was similar
to that of the brown mare Vivandiere, by
Sentinel, who made a record of 1854 in
1887, and after several years retirement
started at Narragansett Park In 1885, and
reduced her mark to 2:2lb. Rigolette
by Exchequer, antedated Lady Rolfe's
performance. She was in retirement
since 1882, and on wager that she had
not lost her speed, was started at Detroit
Aug. IL, to beat her record, which was
handily done in 2:22. Several other
brood-mares reappeared this year on the
scenes of their former triumphs and re-
duced their marks, but the above men,
toned performers present the most sig
nal instances.

ALLEN ST. JOE AND WHITE
STOCKINGS.

Editor Dunton's Spirit Of the Turf: | see
you are nearly always in advance of all
Others in getting bottom facts; for eX-
ample, you credit White Stockings to
Ethan Allen, Jr. The probabilities are
that Allen st. Joe, son of Ethan Allen, is
the sire, and think | shall be able to
establish that fact beyond doubt soon.
White Stockings was raised near St.
Mays, Kan, and was shipped with car
load of horses to Kansas City. The COM
mission man was told that this horse,
White Stockings, was by son of Ethan
Allen, that was owned by the governor
or ex-governor of this State" Now, the
facts are that Allen st. Joe was owned at
Topeka by Congressman Thos. Ryan, and
he sired two colts that were owned near
st. Marys. These colts were spoken of to
Allen st. Joe from Mr.. Ryan. Mr.. Ryan
did not use Allen st. Joe as a stock
horse, but permitted a few friends to
breed to him. | was told of three colts
that he had sired, two of them near Sill
yer Lake or st. Marys. That one of
these two is White Stockings, there can
be but little doubt. Enclosed is Allen
st. Joe's pedigree:
Allen st. Joe, bay horse, star in fore
head, snip on left nostril, and right hind
ankle white, l54 hands, and weighs ll30
lbs; bred by Sprague Il Akers, at their
Kansas Stock Farm, Lawrence, Kans.

Lucy Alexander by Buford's Alexander
9TH dam by Haxall's Moses 9th dam by

Allen st. Joe is one of the handsomest
horses in Kansas, and in his 2-year-old
form trotted a mile in 1850; and when
four years old, trotted mile over the
half mile track at Topeka on the first
day of June in 2 :40i. In general APP
pearance, color and marks, Allen st. Joe
is almost the counterpart of his famous
sire; but is much larger, even finer finish

IRENE, 2.22I-2, BY DUSTY MILLER


This is one of the 2 80 trotters whose
dam has hitherto been given as by Alb
dallah. From information received from
former owners we learn that Irene was
foaled in 1871 and got by son of Canada
Gray Eagle, that was owned by miller
in Philadelphia and called Dusty Miller.
Her dam was by son of Abdallah. 1t
seems that about 1914 a Quaker named
John Harvey of Wayne Co., Ind, sold
small bay mare to Charles Burkett of the
same place. About that time VIM. Thorn,
brother-in-law of Burkett, now of
Marlboro, Monmouth Co.. n. j., was Wis
iting Burkett. In 1915 Burkett moved
his family east to Marlboro, bringing his
family and effects in wagon drawn by
this Harvey mare, then about six years
old. Her pedigree then known, as now
remembered, was almost entirely of run
ming strains and Mr.. Thorn remembers
that there was a Sir Henry cross in it.
After arriving in New Jersey Burkett sold
the mare to Jacob w. Quackenbush of
Marlboro, who in time disposed of her to
James Z. Brown of the same place. She
was very blood-like and enduring; could
trot handsomely in about four minutes
and run very fast.
In lS44-5, and for several years after,
old Abdallah stood at Freehold, n. j..
and made a regular circuit Whereabouts
among nearby towns. At this time there
lived at Marlboro a gentleman named
Joseph Vandervere, who had quite a
number of thoroughbreds in fact, bred
to nothing else and raced them. Among
others he had some mares purchased of
Commodore Stockton, the importer of
Trustee and other noted horses. One of
those, pedigree forgotten, was bred by
Vandervere to old Abdallah, and the pro-
duce was a fine bay or brown colt that was
never broken thoroughly to harness, but
could trot well to saddle. He was high
tempered and hard to break and received
such injuries that he died, leaving but
gait to saddle. This son of Abdallah
was bred to Browns mare, that came
from Indiana, and the result was bay
filly, foaled about 1865, and was about the
last foal of Vandervere's Abdallah. This
filly was eventually named Minnie and
produced Irene. When a FLY Minnie
knew no fast gait but run and would
hardly strike trot even slow, and
Browns sons matched and ran her nu-
merous races until she was FIVE years old,
One day, while being driven in a team,
this team with quite stopper. He tried
to pass the team, but a race ensued as the
filly (Nlinnie) struck fast trot and stuck
to it, carried her mate to break and beat
Gordon. Gordon fell in love with Min
ME and finally bought her, put her in
training and trotted races with her. Hell
first trainer was VIM. III. Strong of Ocean,
port, Monmouth Co., n. j. Her first
race was against DR.. j. l.. Anderson's
CHI. g. Mcclellan, driven by John c. Do
ty, and Mcclellan won, but had to go in
about :36 to beat the mare. Minnie was
also matched against and beat Beppo, C
H., by American Star, at Newton il
about 2 40 in straight heats. About Il
months after buying her, Gordon sold hel
to Relf of Philadelphia, through Darius
Tallman (then Relf's trainer) and Tall
