PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity OF the REGIsTER1 Is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
ISN'T 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-
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. :. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leondas reputed e. 5. OF Blggart :
Rather, and many others.
This is pre- 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 Il 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.

ROYAL AND ELMWOOD.

The chestnut gelding Royal (2:4D,
which has been quite generally credited
to Royal Fearnaught, should, according
to the statement of Mr.. Nicholson, who
drives him, be credited to another horse.
Mr.. Nicholson says Royal is eleven years
old, and was bred by Mr.. Aristides
Welch, Chestnut Hill, near Philadelphia,
Pa. Mr.. WEIGH was noted breeder of
thoroughbreds, and bred Parole and
other celebrated runners. He sent one
of his thoroughbred mares to Volunteer
and get colt foal, and this colt is the
sire of Royal. The dam of Royal, says
Mr.. Nicholson, was a daughter of See
ley's American Star. This son of Vol
unteer performed but little service and
never was honored with name, but he
left good horse in Royal.
The Maine-bred, four-year-old Elm
wood, by Hambletonian Chief, dam, Pet
Knox, by Gilberth Knox, trotted the
half-mile track at Lewiston, Me-, recent
ly in 2 :23 in his work. He ought to get
close to 2 30 on mile track like Mystic

first money in the $4,000 stake for horses
eligible to the :22 class, winning his
three heats in the marvelously fast time
of 2 is, 2:l74 and 2:l5. At Hartford he
won the first heat in the $4,000 stake in
2:l4t, but was defeated in slower time in
the next three heats by Alcryon. He has
now turned the tables upon his grey vic
tor by capturing the $4,000 stake here.
Alcryon won his first triumph in the
grand circuit at Buffalo in the $1,000
stake for horses eligible to the 2 :24 class,
putting in two heats in 2:171 and 2:17t
At Poughkeepse he won first money in
the Rupert stakes of $1,000, in 2;l6i,
2:l7 and 2l71. At Hartford he captured
the $4,000 stake after Nelson had won
the first heat, and at Springfield he won
first money in the $4,000 stake for horses
of the , % class, in straight heats. Best
time, 2:lS3. He is exceptionally well
bred, as the tabulated pedigree shows:

DUNDEE, ILL, Sept. ID, 1889.

DUNDEE, ILL, Sept. 13, 1889.
MR.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir Our Woodstock fair was a
complete "walkaway" for the Morgans.
Over 80 stalls of Morgans were represent
ted. 1t was by far the largest exhibit of
horses upon the ground of any one class.
With very few exceptions they were
descendants of Colbys Young Green
Mountain. Mr.. James Saylor's horse was
also represented by stock--one from
Herod and another from Comanche (son
of Dorsey's GolddusD. The whole thing
was the stirring event of the fair so far
as stock is concerned. My horses Sui
tan and Selim received premiums as best
stations; Sultan, first, and Selim, second
prize. Their sire, Young Green Noun
tain, received first premium for stallion
and stock-(my stations being repre-
sentative of the stock) and Saylor's horse
second premium for stallion and stock
| will send to you the report of the fair
as soon as received. By the way, wish
to state that Sultan and Selim were called
out alone by request from the orator of
the day, Gov. Alger of Michigan, and ex-
hibited before the grand stand and their
attractiviness was so great that next day
there was a special request that they be
driven by a lady, which was done with
great ecldt.
Very truly,
A. w. HINMAN

NOTES.



In the autumn of 1874 the bell rang at
Mystic Park over the first national stall
lion race ever held in the United States.
1t was known as the Blanchard Stake.
In it Smuggler defeated Phil Sheridan.
II. w. Genet, Commonwealth, Vermont
Abdallah and Mambrino Gift in , :23.
2 %, 30. The deciding heat equaed
the stallion record that Mambrino Gift
had been, together with Smuggler, Joe
Brown aud Pilot Temple, defeated by
Thomas Jefferson in the $4,000 stallion
race at Buffalo. The "Black Whirlwind
of the East was entered in this race. but
was withdrawn at the last moment.
Seven years afterwards at Beacon Park
second struggle for the championship
took place among the stallion kings.
There were just three startels-Santa
Claus, who had reduced the ive-year-old
stallion record to rs while in Califor-
mia, Piedmont and Wedgewood. The
latter had made his remarkable trip
through the grand circuit the year be-
fore, and Piedmont had not been defeat
ed that season until he met Edwin
| Thorne at Hartford. Santa Claus. on
the other hand, had lost his form after
coming on from the Pacific coast. and
after being defeated in the memorable
stallion race at Rochester, when Fran
ces' Alexander made his record of ? 10
and defeated one of the best fields of en-
tire harness performers that ever scored
for the word, he was laid up for the big
event at Beacon, which he won i'm
2:l1a, 2:lS. 2:l9, after losing the first
heat to the son of Almont, and was dead
lame at that. Upon this race the talent,
who backed Piedmont, lost heavily. The
third race for National Stallion Stakes
was trotted over Mystic Park just four
years ago, the starters being King
Wilkes, Montgomery, Pilot Knox, King
AlmOnt and Westmont. 1t took lust
three heats to settle the championship
the honors going to Pilot Knox in ? :19a
2 :2O3, 2:2O. The fight was between
King Wilkes, Montgomery and the win
ner, and in the final heat Montgomery
was beaten by less than half length.
} The fourth race of this kind took place
at Beacon Park, after several postpone
ments, on the Odd inst, the result O
which is fully set forth elsewhere.
The average time of the three tastes

No other trotting or pacing sire cal
make such showing as this in the mat
ter of extreme speed. Brown Hal anC
Little Brown jug are brothers, and thu
former has the pacing record for stall
lions.
Up to the present time but one horse
Johnston, has paced mile better thai
2:ll, and outside of Johnston the only
one to beat 2:l2 is Little Brown jug
2:lla. Maud S. among the trotters and
Johnston among the PAGERS stand GU
prominently as the only horses at thei
respective gats that have beaten 2:l0.
