There was horse here in early times,
seventy years ago, called Humbird. En-
gineer was good horse. The landlords
father, Mr.. Bromley, owned him 80 or
more years ago. The Googins horse
think he would sell now for vast
amount of money. Barden went West

Mr.. Weed of Pawlet says the dam of
Highland Grey was gray mare, coarse
boned, 1000 to HOO pounds, 15-24; a
strong, rugged mare. Some authorities
claim that she was not got by the Mobiles
horse. Dayre, a marketman at Albany,
n. Y, is the owner of Billy NJ, and Bill
ly NJ, is by Little Mac, son Of Farmers
Beauty.
DR.. Sargent says there was buckskin
horse called Conrad, guess 0years ago

built after the coach pattern. The Hoad-

Green Mountain Morgan.
ID. Eastman, Rupert, VT, says the dam
of Bggart's Rather was Dutch mare
from Sempronius, near New York. My
son-in-law came from there and knew
this mare. She was a coarse mare, very
strong, with hairy legs; bony heavy
mare, heavy carriage, nothing fancy.
Mr.. Herrick said she was Dutch Ste
phen Kelly owned her at the time the
colt (Biggart's Rattler) was foaled. See
Jacob Burnham, who sold Rather.
think Conyer brought the mare to Dan
by. S. Kelly married one of his daugh-
tiers. The mare fell into his hands. Her.
rick married a daughter. The sire was
called Biggart's Henry. Potter of Gran
vile claimed that Sir Henry's dam was

Henry. The Googns Horse had Rat
tier and Raymond Horse blood. My ia

Belle of Pawlet, by War Hewlett, dam by
the Andrus Horse; trotted her private in
2 :26. The first colt from this Andrus
mare was from Giant Morgan, big dap
pie bay horse with heavy tail that got
likely stock. Giant Morgan was son of
Green Mountain Morgan, fine looking
horse. l think his stock were the best
we had around here; all good roadsters.
The Judson Hambletonian l called al
most black. He was a dark seal brown
with white stripe in the face, smaller
around the barrel than the Andrus Horse !:
smaller horse, not so tall. hundI ed
pounds difference, certain; a nervous
horse and more like Daniel Lambert, but
not so high headed. The Andrus Horse
was more of blocky build than the judi
son, more like the Morgan breed. Green
Mountain Morgan, two good ends, more
bone and muscle than his sire. The judi
son looked like speedy horse, a thor
oughbred runner. He died here. The
Judson Horse was pretty horse, but
never saw so pretty horse as Daniel
Lambert when in his prime. l bought
War Hewlett spring of 1863 when two
years old and sold him to |. V. Baker of
Comstock's Landing, who kept him
number of years and then sold to Toron-
to, Canada.
