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 in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. AS such, 1T 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
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, e. 5. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed &. s. 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 tor 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 u romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the lite and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

ANDERSoN'S JOHN RICHARDS.

After several years of diligent search
for the breeding of Anderson's John
Richards, sire of the dam of the famous
brood mare Grand Duchess (2:264),
which brought Cohannet (2:171), Gala
tea e :23D, Mary Ann 2:2S4) and other
fast ones, Mr.. William Mason has finally
obtained information which establishes
his breeding beyond the shadow of a
doubt. He was bred by Mr.. Anderson
of Kilgore, Carroll County, Ohio, got by
a horse called Young John Richards,
owned by Mr.. Cogsil of kilgore, who
brought him to that place from Virginia.
A poster dated March 16, 1910, gives the
breeding of Young John Richards, sire
of Anderson's John Richards, as follows
"Young John Richards was sired by the
famous horse John Richards, he by Sir
Archy dam by Rattle grandam by Med
ley ; great-grandam by Wildair, etc. The
dam of Young John Richards was Flor
eta, raised by the late Mr.. Nicholas
Young of the District of Columbia, and
got by Medley grandam, by Fox great
grandam by Whynot.
"Young John Richards was trained
when three years old at Washington city,
and his performances were not excelled
by any colt at his age and handling
When put in train he never had worn a
bride. With two weeks handling he
made a half-mle trial in fifty-five seconds
and repeated in fifty-six seconds" The
names at the bottom of this poster are j
n. Hoskinson and Baker Nicholson. Mr.
Anderson, who bred Anderson's join
Richards, is not living, but his son, Jane:
Anderson, states that his "father at one
time owned Pointer mare, which he
bred to this young John Richards whel
owned by Mr.. Cogsil, and the result wa;
Anderson's John Richards" Nothing i:
said of the breeding of this Pointer mare
This adds another famous producer to the
long list of the descendants of that CRANE
old Derby winner, imported Domed
which by the way, traced eleven times tC
the famous Godolphin Arabian. Import

paratively short crosses to the same

A MORGAN FOR TENNESSEE.

The following, from one of the best
posted men on Morgan horses that can
be found, will be of interest to our
readers:
Editor of the american Cultiuator
Agreeable to my promise | write to let
you know that arrived here with the
stallion Rancho Tuesday morning, the
18th inst. | called at your office, in
company with my friend, f. c. Manches-
ter, to have you see the horse, but found
you were away enjoying that good old
New England holiday, Thanksgiving. l
was very sorry that you could not see
Rancho, for his pedigree shows him to be
as pure-bred Morgan as can be found
anywhere, and his form shows the Nor
gan from the tip of his ear to the end of
his tail. He is the observed of all OBJ
servers here. Even the children throw
down their playthings to see him go by.
| have brought him here, feeling per-
fectly confident that he will do for Ten

gan did for Vermont, so many years ago
that is, lay the foundation for the best
breed of horses that the world has ever
seen. | feel sure that in the future
history of Tennessee will be found re-
corded that in the year 1888 b. Hubbard
brought to this State the Morgan stallion
Rancho, which was the founder of the
best and most useful breed of horses
thar has ever been known, and that has
added millions of dollars to the wealth of
the State. ! am with ID. III. McGavock,
who has splendid farm of 1900 acres,
and has fourteen well-bred Morgan mares
and fillies, which he very justly feels
proud of, and know of no more worthy
persons to be the pioneers in furnishing
their fellow citizens with class of
horses that is destined to add so much to
the wealth of the State than Mr.. McGav-
ock and his son Frank. b. HIBBARD.

DEATH OF VOLUNTEER.

A dispatch dated Washingtonville,
Orange Co., N. Y, to the New York
Tribune says: "The old trotting sire
Volunteer died at Walnut Grove Farm
this morning at the advanced age of
thrty-four years. His death was doubt
less fastened by the approach of winter,
for the famous stallion was apparently
in as good health as he has been for
years, and gave no sign of his approach
ing dissolution. His teeth were good
and he was able to to eat ten quarts of
oats every day.

noted as that of his sire Hambletonian,
and his fastest colt, st. julien @ IL 1-4)
has a record six seconds lower than Dex-

Hambletonian. Volunteer has been
owned by the Goldsmiths, father and
son, since he was eight years old.
Though bred in Orange county, he was
sold to r. C. Underhill of Brooklyn and
was kept there until the late Alden Gold
smith purchased him and took him back
to his native county. Owing to the pop

Peruvian WhistIing Jugs.

The silvadors or musical jugs found
among the burial places of Peru are
most ingenious specimens of handi-
work. A silvio in the William S.
Vaux collection at Philadelphia con-
sists of two vases, whose bodies are
joined one to the other, with hole or
opening between them. The neck of
one of these vases is closed, with the
exception of a small opening in which
a clay pipe is inserted leading to the
body of the whistle. When liquid
is poured into the open necked vase,
the air is compressed into the other,
and in escaping through the narrow
opening is forced into the whistle, the
vibrations producing sounds. Many
of these sounds represent the notes of
birds; one in the Clay collection of Phil
adel phia, Pa, initiates the robin o
some other member of the thrush tribe
peculiar to Peru. The closed neck of
this double vase is modelled into rep
resentation of birds head. which is
thrush like in character. Another
water vase in the same collection, rep
resenting a llama,, initiates the dis
gushing habit which this animal pos
sesses of eiecting its saliva when en-
ragged The kissing sound which
accompanies this action is admirably
initiated. A black tube of earthen.
ware ornamented with a grotesque
head in low relief, to which short
arms are attached pressing a three
tubed syrinx to its lips, deserves special
mention, as it suggests the evolution
of this instrument from a single tube
to more complicated forms.-The Clay
Worker.
