of dazzling snow which are rendered even
more dazzling by the clear atmosphere
and brilliant sunshine of America. One
of its safeguards lies in the remarkable
structure which is popularity termed the
shaw" and scientifically the "nictitat-
ing membrane" This is a sort of third
eyelid set beneath the true eyelids, and
capable of being drawn at will over the
eyeball, thus performing the double duty
of shielding the eye from the direct glare
of light and clearing its surface from
dust or any other foreign substance.
This membrane is seen in perfection in
the birds of prey. so that the proverbial
statement that the eagle trains itself to
gaze at the midday sun has some founda-
ton in fact.

THE MORGAN REGISTER,

A Register intended to include all stations
OF merit that trace in direct line to Justin
Morgan and having at least one sixty-fourth
OF his blood. All such stations foaled in or
before 1850 are admitted free. A fee OF one
dollar is charged tor registering each stallion
foaled since 1850, and tor each mare whenever
foaled. All mares are eligible that have the
descent and Inheritance above prescribed for
stations. The first volume, the final sheets
of which are now being revised for the press,
will contain about four thousand pedigrees,
carefully compiled from original sources, II
sketch of the origin and history of the great
Morgan family, and much other new and orig
inal matter. The book will be illustrated with
portraits of Morgan horses, and handsomely
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed but will be as low as can beafforded, so
that the work may be widely distributed.
The work has been done throughout on the
plan of first exhausting all practicable means
OF getting ana verifying information, discrim-
mating rigidly between what is known and
what is unknown, and setting down nothing
as ascertained which is in doubt. Sources of
information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work for
himself Full descriptions of the animals reg
istered will be given, and tables showing the
merits of the Morgans, as compared with 9th.
er families, tor both speed and endurance on
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received tor a short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

dam was imp. Clockfast, gray horse.
The third case Major Thomas gives is
" In 1866 Annie Laurie, chestnut mare
by imp. Yorkshire, bay, foaled gray
filly by Walnut, chestnut stallion"
The Stud-Book Is In error here. Walnut
is reported as a chestnut colt, foaled in
1850, by imp. Glencoe. dam Lucy Dash
wood, gray mare. have letter from
Mr.. James Surget of Natchez, Miss, say
ing that the horse Walnut by Glencoe,
was Il gray, and that he had him on his
place at one time that the horse was run
off to Texas during the war and brought
back afterward, and died near Natchez.
If Major Thomas can give me IA single
instance in his experience, which has
been great, l will have to acknowledge
that there are some exceptions. | have
no doubt that he can go through the first
volumes of the Stud-Book and find in
stances that apparently contradict me. [
have examined "a great many such, and in
every instance where investigation was
possible, found errors in the record. With
! the badly mixed data for the work, it was
impossible for the compiler of the Stud
Book to be accurate in the matter of dates
of foaling and colors. The wonder is
that the work we have could be wrought
from such chaos. 1t is impossible even
at the present day to get the color of foals
correct. The animals are reported when
foaled as bay, brown, or chestnut, and
they go into the Stud-Book on the report
of owners; but when the foal sheds off in
the fall, if it is gray, no correction is
sent to the compiler of the Stud-Book.
| know of one colt, Roscoe, that appeared
black, and was so called, until he was
four years old, when he turned gray.
have discovered number of such errors in
the English Stud-Book, where foals are
reported as bays, blacks, chestnuts and
roans, but the racing calendar gives the
color as gray when they appear on the
turf.
| have not written this in controver.
sial spirit, but hope that if any of your
readers know of single instance contra
ry to my views, they will report it to you

SPOTTED COLT 2:25I.2.

Mr.. Andrew j. Hough of Orwell, the
breeder of May Be, 2 "a, writes us under
date of Nov. II, 1889, as follows:
8 | saw in one of the Middlebury pa
pers some time ago that you did not know
the breeding of Spotted Colt. He was
by the horse that had, and Mr.. n. Buck
lin of Sudbury raised him. and his widow
sold him to CHI. Smith and he sold him to
CHI. Goodell of Brandon, and he to James
Harting of Brandon, and Mr.. Harting
sold him to Mr.. McCalley of New York,
and he took him in car load of horses
from Brandon. If he is now alive he
would be 2G years old. | saw him in
Providence in ~, and could swear that it
was the same horse by the dark spots on
his hips. He was a very homely horse
with not much tail, and | was always
ashamed to own him as from my horse.
Mr.. Hough is entirely mistaken as to
the identity of this horse. Spotted Colt,
= POD, was got by Il horse called Joker
that is said to have been brought from
Canada. Mr.. Wallace has also been de-
ceiyed in regard to this pedigree as he
gives in his "Great Table" in the
Year Book for 1883, the following:
Hambletonian (Hough's), son Of
Hambetonian (Andrus) dam by Bar
ney Henry; pedigree and history not re
corded. Spotted Colt, sp. g., dam Spot.
ted Mare, not traced-lS14-l0."
This, so far as it purports to give any
information as to the breeding of Spotted
Colt, is all wrong.

GRAY COLOR IN HORSES.
From the Sportsman.]

from the sportsman
Five weeks ago letter on the above
subject, written by Mr.. Lucas Broadhead
to the Stock Farm, was published in the
Sportsman. The writer then stated that
gray was the weakest of colors, and was
never produced unless when the sire or
dam was gray. Major Thomas cited three
exceptions the following week, but Mr..
Broadhead shows by the following letter
that the Stud-Book and not his investiga-
tiOns are incorrect:
SPRING STATION, KY, April 26, 1888.
Dear Sir In your issue of March %
you published my letter on the subject of
gray color in horses. In that letter | was
very positive in the statement that gray
ing gray. | wished to provoke contra
diction, if any of your readers knew of
exceptions to this rule. There must be
some exceptions, but so far have failed
to learn of one that is well authenticated.
In your issue of March 30, Mai. G.. b.
Thomas answers my letter, and | thank
him for his interest in the matter. | agree
with him, thinking that most defects and
| colors are transmissible. The failure of
the gray to conform to what have looked
upon as one of Natures laws, astonished
me and led to an investigation that has
confirmed me in the belief that gray is
only produced by the sire or dam being
gray. The cases Mai. Thomas cites are
only combinations of my theory. In all
three instances he gives the sire or dam
loas gray. He was misled by errors in
the Stud-Book in giving the colors, as |
will show below. | have investigated
each case, with many other similar ones,
and found no exceptions. Major Thomas
says: SIN 1880 Anna, bay mare, by
Truxton, bay, foaled gray colt by Sir
Richard, bay stallion" This mare An
ma was owned in Davidson county, Tenn.
In the american Turf Register" (vol. l,
p. 464) find the gray horse Sir Richard
advertised to make the season of 1880 at
Thomas FOXhal's, in Sumner county,
Tenn. This Sir Richard was full broth
er to Monsieur Tonson. As this mare
and stallion were owned in adjoining
counties in Tennessee at the same date,
have right to infer that Annals gray colt
was by this gray Sir Richard, rather than
bay Sir Richard that was bred and
owned in South Carolina, date of foaling
not given. The second instance cited is
sin 1884 Antoinette, a bay mare by Sir
Archy, IA bay horse, foaled Jewess, gray
filly, by imp. Luzborough, chestnut
stallion, and in running back this case
have not found another gray" Major
Thomas was misled by the Stud Book
giving the color of Antoinette as "A bay.
She was gray mare. See American

Shades of the illustrious Arab coursers
that were progenitors of the English
race horse and of the much vaunted
American trotter, you whose names are
embazoned on the pages of the stud
books of England as sole progenitors of
all horses noted for speed at the run or
trot,-come forth and defend your noble
dead from the calumnies contained in
that article "Off bis Base" and from all
other defamers of the Arab horse.
Bring them before a jury of horsemen
and by your living descendants impeach
them for wilful misrepresentation or
total ignorance of the subject of which
they write and speak. Point to them the
picture of that old gray stallion, Import
ed Messenger, on the cover of Wallace's
Monthly, which the editor has placed
there as the exponent of his horse belief,
as the idol of his horse faith, and which
he has for years endeavored to show was
the source of all trotting inheritance.
Defamers of the Arab horse. look at that
representation of Imported Messenger
and at his trotting descendants in the
stud of nearly every breeder in this
country; on the trotting coursers in the
stables of nearly every gentleman driver
of fast road horses, and then determine
if you can fairly side with the defamers
of the Arab horse, and with them eX-
claim, Magnificent Arab pony, useless
except to carry on his back the CORY
the desert" How many believers will
you gain in your venomous attacks on
the Arabian horse by such perversion of
facts, so plain to every one who knows
anything of horse history.
We would now call attention to the
great trotting family of Wilkes's, win
ners on nearly every trotting course in
the United States. The Wilkes's were
produced by uniting the blood of Impor-
ted Messenger with the blood of the i'm
ported Arabian Grand Bashaw. TO show
the effect of uniting Arabian blood nearer
its fountain head, we would instance that
celebrated family, the "Golddusts' of
Kentucky. They came by the union of
the double Arabian blood of Justin Nor
gan with a daughter of the imported
Arabian Zilcaadi out of an Arabian bred
dam. This union produced Dorsey
Golddust, the founder of the family, who
was himself a fast trotter and one of the
best trotting stations in every respect
ever bred in Kentucky. He was the sire
of several in the 2 80 list, including Lu.
ellie Goddust with 81 heats to her credi,
better than 2 80 and with record OF
2:l6f, yet, in the face of these facts, that
inexperienced" writer breeder says that
"Arabian trotters exist only in the per.
verted fancies of demented cranks." Yet
it appears from the records that there
have been several of the immediate de
scendants of the Arabian that have beer
winners in fast time on the trotting
tracks of this country.

ARE BLINkERS HURTFUl?
From Public opinion,


When horse is used for the saddle
no one thinks of meddling with his
eyes and we allow the animal to use
them freely, as nature has directed.
But no sooner do we put the same ami
NAL into harness than we think our
selves bound to fasten black leather
flap over each of his eyes, so as to pre-
vent him from seeing objects at his
sides, and to limit his view to those
which are in his immediate front. This
is done with the very best intentions,
the object being to sage him from being
frightened by startling and unwonted
sights, and only to leave sufficency of
vision wherewith to guide his steps.
Herein, as in feeding and stabling the
horse, man judges the animal by him.
self, forgetting, or rather having failed
to notice, that the eyes of the horse are
exceedingly unlike our own. Our eyes
are out in the front of our heads, so that
if blinkers were fastened to our temples
our range of vision would be but slight
ly limited. But the eyes of the horse
are placed on the sides of the head, and
are rather prominent, so that the ami
NAL can not only see on either side, but
by rolling his eyes backwards, as we
see in vicious horse, can see objects
almost in his immediate rear.
The effect of the binker is both physi-
cally and mentally injurious to the
horse. In the first place, especially
when large and brought near the eyes,
it has the effect of heating them and
hindering the free passage of air over
them. In the next place, it causes the
eyes TO be always directed forward, and
thus produces most injurious strain on
the delicate muscles. We know how
painful sensation is felt when we are
obliged to strain our eyes either bac =
ward or upward for any length of time,
and the horse suffers no less inconveni-
ence when it is forced to keep its eyes
continually strained forward.
The worst examples of the blinker that
have ever seen were in the United
States, where the blinkers (or cylinders, y
as they are there named) are often
brought so closely together in front by
means of strap and buckle that mere
narrow strip, barely half an inch in
width. is left for vision. This again is
done with the best intentions, the object
being to save the animal from being af-
flicted by snow-blindness. Now the
horses eyes are in many respects different
from our own, and are not affected, as is
the case with ours, by the vast expanses
