statement on this point was true. Mr..
A. d. Bentley of Oriskany Falls, who
had LOOMS Bogus on shares about 10
years ago, also stated to us that this horse
was bred by Geo. w. w. LOOMS of San
gerfield, and was got by Lame Bogus,
and referred us to his son, Mr.. LOOMS of
Hlgginsville, for further information.
There is no question whatever but that
the dam of Loomis' Bogus was a dun

and got by the Casoll Horse, as stated to
us by this Mr.. LOOMS of Higginsvile,
son of G.. w. w. Loomis. 1t will be re-

for further information on this Casoll
breed of horses to Rodney Ackley, long a
reputable breeder of Hamilton, n. Y.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't a tenth part of what we intend 1t shall

the world on the true history and pedigree oil
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. lts
Horse Department is worth many times lts
mbscription 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-
ca 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, &. $. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. s. OF Blggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is pre- eminently the kind OF ln1orma
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence des1re
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. It is the American gentle
mans paper for the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
ocal and general history. Indeed, the trac
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to "a romance, in which one sees no,
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty Of
the country through which he travels.

own, 1t has seemed fair to expect rush
of new records from their offspring. 1t
is, therefore, with surprise and regret
that we record the fact that the entire re-
turns down to date fail to show soli-
tary performer by either of these sires
excepting Solicitor; and that the judi
cious committee were in error in credit
ing Solicitor with two performers, as the
official records show that he has but one,
Tiny, 2 :2l5, and he never won race; so
that the generous three points in 25O
which the committee thoughtfully award
ed to Solicitor and to Ben Franklin for
character of offspring" should, in the
case of Solicitor, have been reduced to
one and a half. That is, it so seems to
us. But perhaps Mr.. Busby, who had
such eminent success in explaining this
award in the Turf, Field and Farm last
winter, will, by another of his luminous
efforts, set the matter in clearer light.
The last and most notable contribution
of Addison county to the list of new win
ners in 2 80 and better is the brown four
year-old stallion Gillig, bred and owned
by w. w. Moore of Shoreham. Gillig
broke the slate by capturing the Clay
stakes of $1,000 at Island park last week
in straight heats time, 2 :243, :233, 2:25.
Gillig is son of Arstos q :2Sa), another
famous son of Daniel Lambert; first dam
by Pearsall, he by Jupiter, son of Long
Island Black Hawk; second dam, Lady
Snow, a mare said to have been a trOtter,
whose breeding is untraced. The race
was for the 2 80 class, and Gillig's six
competitors seem to have been all aged
horses. They were as follows, and in
this order: (2d) Aline, b. M, by Almont
Boy (this mare was credited with a rec
ord of 2 :274 last season and would ap-
pear to be out of her class here). (3d)
Kentucky Blanche, b. M, by Kentucky
Prince (sire of Guy, 2:12). I4th) Farm
er's Boy, b. g., by Thomas Jefferson
q :23); dam by son of Jackson's Fly
ing Cloud. (5th) Violin, b. g., by Will
liam WEIGH, by Hambletonian, dam by
Blue Bull. (6th) Gretna, b. M, by Nam
brine Dudley (2:19aD; dam by Peace
maker. (7th) King Bird, IN. g., by Jay
Bird, by George Wilkes. Farmer Boy
was the fayorite and was confidently eX-
pected to win, but three heats by the
Vermont four-year-old below 2 20 in the
first race of the season was doubtless
something of surprise to the talent.
This victory, added to Gillig's triumphs
as two and three-year-old, marks him
as one of the best young horses of the
day. We shall expect to hear of ever
faster work by him before the seasons
over.
On the whole, the fact that the little
county of Addison has contributed these
three newcomers to the , 80 list before
the 10th of June would seem to indicat,
that the Addison county breeders may
be on the right track after all.

PEDIGREES.
WHAT is AUTHORITY?

We are led to this question by remarks
made by Mr.. Chester in the Turf, Field
and Farm of June 81, concerning our
late researches in Central New York on
the dam of Flora Temple. Mr.. Chester
republishes from the REGISTER the very
terse and complete letter of her breeder,
Samuel WEIGH. Mr.. WEIGH states, as ex-
plicitly as it is possible to state, that he
bred the dam of Flora Temple to Bogus
that he took her to the horse himself and
saw her covered, and that she was not Ia
ken to the horse but once. He has re-
peatedly before stated that this horse,
Bogus, was the sire of Flora Temple, and
has never stated or limited otherwise.
Against this positive assertion of repu-
table breeder Mr.. Chester places the
probability arising from his suppOsition
that Mr.. Alexander, when he purchased
Edwin Forrest satisfied himself that
Flora Temple was by One-Eyed Ken
lucky Hunter" and says, sat that time
the facts were fresher in mems minds,
and must continue to pin my faith to
the old version of the breeding of Flora
Temple" Facts cannot be fresher at one
time than another to the minds of per-
son who do not know them. What mems
minds does Mr.. Chester refer to? 1t can
not be that of Mr.. WEIGH, who of neces-
sity must know the facts in this matter
proposition which cannot be maintain
ed as to any other person alive or dead.
There has never been, so far as we know,
any evidence shown to the public to con-
tradict the breeding as given by Mr..
WEIGH. There has been a large amount
of indefinite assertion tending to cast
doubt on this pedigree, as there has been
in many other cases. Any author, or
compiler of records, can pin his faith to
what he chooses; but we believe that if
it is generally understood that the author
credits the vagrant report and disregards
the statement of the breeder, the public
will not be apt to spin their faith to his
books. The explanation of this Kentuc-
ky Hunter story is patent. LOOMS had
sold Bogus before Flora Temple became
famous, and was interested, as were ma
ny others in that county, in the Kentuc-
ky Hunter stock.
Mr.. Chester touches another point as
follows; 'Mr. Battell's researches con-
yinced him that LOOMS Bogus was got
by Lame Bogus, and one of the LOOMS
brothers, now living at the age of seven.
ty years, informed him that his dam was
Casoll mare, the Casolls being a breed
of horses brought to Central New York
from Vermont about sixty years ago. II
is little singular that this should be the
first heard of this Casoll breed, and it is
more likely that the mare was once own,
ed by some man of that name and called
the Casoll mare"
We perceive that Mr.. Chester is guess.
ing again. There is no question but that
there was Casoll breed of horses, and
there is no question but that LOOMS
