LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES.
LISBON. July 10. 1889
Dear Mr.. Parlin: - Your interesting
articles on Black Hawk carry me back
to the time when this remarkable horse
stood at the head as sire of roadsters
and trotters. | knew him well when he
was owned by Benjamin Thurston of
Lowell, and when he had just common
ced his service. Not long before that he
had been jointly purchased by William
were greatly attracted by the speed of
the colt which his owner had brought
TO Haverhil for sale. In describing
the young horse Thurston once said to
me: she trotted so fast that he was
scared" He soon became well known.
on account of his style and power, in all
that region. Once week Thurston
used to lead or drive him into my native
town, North Andover, graceful, reso-
Lutte little horse, which attracted great
attention, and was used by owners of
some good mares in that town, which
had descended from Old Belfounder,
through powerful son, owned by Col
Moody Bridges, named Roulston.
From stylish and excellent Morgan
mare owned by my father. Black Hawk
produced most remarkable colt. known
afterwards "a the Reed Horse in Lowell.
and the johnson Horse in Salem: stvl-
ish. beautiful horse, about l5.2, of the
finest bay coloi, with an even, resolute
gait of about 2.40. Black Ralph was
sired about the same time, out of Rouls-
ton mare. bred by Major Adams, large
farmer in the town. Lady Lawrence.
dam. small-sized, powerful, gray mare.
was bred by Josiah Crosby, made her
aforementioned and beautiful race at
Cambridge, | think, was owned after
wards by Jonathan Phillips of Swamps-
colt and was killed by lightning while
in his possession. Were Lady Lawrence
alive today she would be a queen of the
track. Her gait was perfect, her stride
was great, and her action and style were
magnificent. From that day until now
have been so fortunate as to keep a strain
of Black Hawk blood in my stable, either
from the old horse or from his son Trot-
ting Childers.
A son of Trotting Childers named DON
caster, which ! sold to Mr.. Paran Stew
ems, was a small horse of great speed
and untiring endurance. He could trot
better than $50, and never knew him
to be tired. He left colts in and around
Salem which We're remarkable for cour-
age and power. Only two, think, re-
main. \ pair of old horses, one by
Childers and one by son of Doncaster.
are now in my stable, with a great rec
ord of labor and merit. A brown mare
out of the white mare, a daughter of
Doncaster, is, | think, as nearly perfect
as horse can be, and granddaughter
of Doncaster, by George Wilkes, Jr., dam
by Smuggler, promises great speed, and
has courage and energy. This mare,
now four years old, has George Wilkes
as a grandsire on her sire's side, and
