Maria had no white. Iii Sessions traded
for Cub of my brother to whom | sold
him. | think he traded a pair of bob
tailed bays for Cub and a mate Alanson
had got for him. | sold this colt to my
brother 81 or - years ago. Father
bought once bay sucking colt, kept it
through the winter and gave it to me: it
was good while after Black Maria was
born. When he gave me Black Maria he
had one colt that he drove that was older
than Black Maria. | had the bay mare
Doll in 1851; she was then old.
Horace Thomas of Salisbury thinks the
dam of Black Maria had, first, Cub; sec
second, the sorrel horse Shay had; third,
Black Maria; fourth, Doll, last sure; not
great while between. (Mr. Thomas is
certainly mistaken about the sorrel Mr..
Shay had, as Mr.. S. bought in 1881 and
this colt was then five or six Yeas old).
Cub was good roadster, good size
one of the best horses around here then ;
over 1000 lbs; the sorrel was bigger.
These four were all this mare had. |
think Alanson had Cub in 1897. Alanson
bought his farm of Guernsey; he got
Cub about that time.
Hiram Sessions, who is one of our most
experienced and most astute horsemen,
says: The dam of Black Maria was a
good one, trotter; somewhat blocky-

At Harvey Yale's, in looking over his
papers again l found a stud-book for
1884 from June to July Is, about 20
names, but VIM. Wanwright's does not
appear. As this corresponds closely to
the time Mr.. Yale bought and sold Young
Cock of the Rock, and as Mr.. Yale says
he had no other stallion at that time, this
must be the book for Young Cock of the
Rock, and shows that this horse did not
get Black Maria, at least while Mr.. Yale
owned him. | also found the original
entries for 1925 and '2G from which the
list in the book before seen and that ap
peared to be for 1926. was copied Thi:
shows that it was in 1925, instead OF
1926, that VIM. Wainwright bred to Mr.
Iale's horse. 1t is marked in the boob
that the mare was bred to warrant at So
and this is copied as paid: so that in 1S2t
Mr.. Wainwrights mare must have had
colt from Mr.. Iale's horse; this colt W,
know must have been from the Oar
mare. and as there were but two RAISED
from her, it must have been either the
sorrel horse sold Shay in 1881 or the dan
of Black Maria. In these old books o.
