"M.urice" or any other Of the an,i.Ham-
bls,onian men in.i., on comparing the
two families =. bred 10 Maine in order to
separate the sheep from the goats. le,
them compare them on some,hins like
eqi.l terms or IS they have been bred
,inee 1850, and ls, them not say 80
much about how fss, the Morg.ns are
gaining unles. they can 'ho~ mote win
ners in proportion to the number OF colts
than the Hambl,,oniAns eau. And they
can't show more by naming those IN the
2:20 list nor any other list, for ell those
named by "Msuriee" were sired before
1850, when sbou, the only Hsmbleton.
ian. that had ever stood 10 Maine were
Gideon. Constellation. Gen. wl,hers and
Daniel Boone, and the last three had
been in the stud three or four years.
And let them say no more sbou, the
Hsmbls,oni.ns being failures 10 Maine
until they can produce three stations OF
Morgan descent that have stood in Maine
no longer than Daniel Boone. Con',ells-
ton and olympu. have, and ,hI, have
sired more winners than they OF more
,ha, have sold for higher prices. They
tell us that Glenarm. Gen. Wither,
Redwood, Prescott. ETC., have got no
tro,,er., bu, Why, In heavens name,
don't they ,ro, out their KnoI and Nor.
rill stations Of the same aye aud show
u, how many tro,,er they have got, In.
stead Of telling US what ~ss sired before
Glensrm, Redwood, Prescott, Albrino,
Messenger Wilkes. Dictator Chief. Kins.
man. Inca, etc, we're fosled
We appreciate the MOrsan', bat We
think that they can be improved by
crossing with the Hamble,onians, aud
shall continue to think - unle. We are
shown that the H.mble'onisns are in.
ierior to them s they are being bred .,
this present time and for the last few
years; and "Msuriee" has no, given US
any evidence I. yet that goes to show
even in the remotest degree that such Is
the fact. II he will read Wsllsee's
Mon,hly for March he will zee the folly
OF ever trying to prove any such an i'm
