PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity OF the REGISTER is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't a tenth part of what we intend 1t shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
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 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-
bs 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. s. of Biggart's
Rather, and many others.
This is pre- eminently the kind of intorma-
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-
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.
Terms, $3.50 per year. Tell your neighbors
Spread the circulation. We want the REGIS
TER to go upon every farm in the country
from Maine TO California and there are sew

BROOKLYN, March 81, 1888.
G. j. HAMLIN:
only notice the opening paragraph of
your last terrific gale of wind, otherwise
called cyclone, to say that the only
"running" that | haye witnessed by
breeders since you issued your challenge
was the "run" after you to get you to do
as you said you were willing to do,
"prove your faith by your works.
| have exhausted my ingenuity in franz
ing propositions which would settle, so
far as two horses can settle, the issue
you have raised between sires having a
record of ? % or better, and those having
a slower record or no record at all. These
propositions were, as it seemed to me,
eminently fair and just, giving to neither
an advantage over the other, but so
framed as to determine with accuracy
whether horse with record of , %
was as good or better sire than horse
having no record at all. But you have
''run' and seem to- be still running
from every such suggestion. If you were
really DESTROYS of ascertaining whether
your horse without record sres a high
er rate of speed with greater uniformity
than horses with Il record better than
2 ~, you would, as it seems to me, have
accepted my offer. The only way by
which that fact can be determined is the
one which proposed, namely, to select
large number of the colts sired by each
horse in the order in which they were
foaled, and then trot colt against colt,
timing each colt separately, and thus OBJ
tanning their average speed.
Such proposition | made you: To
trot the produce of Kentucky Wilkes,
2 :2li, against the produce of Mambrino
King. Instead of accepting this PROPOSE
ton you fly from it, and propose instead
to trot three-year-old by Mambrino
King against three-year-old by Ken
lucky Wilkes and one two-year-old by
Almont, Jr., against one two-year-old by
Mambrno Dudley. What brave offer
this is; By your catalogue l observe
that you have % two-year-olds by NAM

Hambletonian side. He possessed in a
marked degree that peculiar power of the
strong-bred horse of stamping his pro-
geny with his characteristics. 1t made
but little difference what he was bred to.
his colts all resembled HIM They were
uniformly large, mostly 16 hands high,
with long necks, bony and resolute heads,
long, sharp pointed ears, lofty carriage,
with the best of legs and feet, and pos
sessed of that long slashing gait which
pleases the eye of the horseman. He
sired Badger Girl, record 2 :22a; Clason
mare, that could trot in 80; Cloud Black
stallion, owned byJ. B. Hays of Horizon,
Wis; Storm, owned by c. S. Dole of
Crystal Lake, ILL.,; Frank Forester ;
Black Diamond: Banner Boy; and a
number of other good ones.
Badger Girl is the only one of his colts
that has ever been trained. He has pro-
baby sired more than hundred colts
that could trot in three minutes. They
have usually sold on account of their
beauty for first-class carriage horses,
some matched spans selling as high as
$1,000. They have been taken to all the
principal cities of the United States-St.
Paul, st. Louis, Milwaukee, Chicago, De
troit, Toledo. Buffalo. New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Petersburg,
Va, and Havana, Cuba, have each their
representative of Black Flying Cloud.
Hundreds of his colts have been taken
to New York alone. Some of the
shrewd horsemen of that city have made
small fortunes out of few carloads of
Black Flying Cloud colts, which they
have picked up through Dodge, Jetler-
son and Waukesha counties. Black Fly
ing Cloud died at the stable of c. II. Fer
rev, Watertown, Wis, on the 2Sth day of
March, 1875, of old age.

BLACK FLYING CLOUD.

RANDOLPH, Wis, April Il, 1883.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir Having seen in the Middle
bury paper that you take considerable in
terest in looking up the pedigree of
celebrated horses, | will send you that of
Black Flying Cloud.
He was beautiful black, with white
face and three white feet, standing about
l6 hands high; bred by S. w. Jewett of
Weybridge, VT. He was brought to Wis
consin by Knapp & Granger about 1866,
who sold him soon afterwards to Thomas
Marshall of Oak Grove, Wis, for about
$1,000. Since the death of Mr. Marshall
he has been owned most of the time by a
stock association and by Ferrey & Wood
ard.
Black Flying Cloud was foaed in 1851 ::
he was sired by Hills Black Hawk: his
dam was also by Hills Black Hawk; she
was bred by ID. Edgar Hill and S. W.
Jewett, who owned her dam in partner
ship. The grand-dam was bred by Chas.
Howe of Bridport, VT; she was by Har-
ris' Hambletonian, who was from the
Munson mare, by Bishops IIambletoni-
an, both by imported Messenger. AL
though Black Flying Cloud was three
fourths Black Hawk, he did not resemble
that stock very much, being larger, heav-
ier-boned and having longer stride /;
this he doubtless inherited from the

BROWN HARRY.

that of his offspring. Brown Harry was
bred by Mr.. II. Woodward, now of this
