ARABIAN HORSES.

lCOncluueu rom last week.
Whence came the Mambrino Chief
family BY union of the blood of import
ed Messenger (Arabian) with that of a
big, coarse cold blooded western farm
mare, whose progeny had she been bred
to horse of like quality, would doubt
less still have been vying in occupation
with our inexperienced breeders noble
mule" instead of having the notoriety and
value of Pancoast, Patron, II Princess,
or Woodford Mambrino in whose veins
were united the thoroughbred Arabian
blood of Woodford with the Arabian
blood of Messenger through Mambrino
Chief. What man of common sense will
for moment insist that the trottng
blood in the Mambrino Chief family was
inherited from this cold-blooded dam of
Mambrino Chief rather than from the
Arabian blood of imported Messenger
which produced trotters from all classes
of mares.
Whence came the Clay family of trot-
tiers, so much sought after by the
breeders of Kentucky to increase the
speed of their stock? They came by the
union of the blood of the Imported Ara
bian Grand Bashaw with that of the
mare Surrey. This union produced
Henry Clay, the founder of the Clay
family. Has any one the effrontery to
claim that all the trot in the Clays came
from the mare Surrey? The Arab bred
Andrew Jackson, the sire of Henry Clay,
was one of the fastest trotters of his time
and sired trotters from mares of all
grades, so that we cannot possibly give
Surrey credit for all the trot in the Clays,
but should instead score another point
for Arabian blood in producing trotters.
Whence came the hardy Morgans, the
noted Morrills, the beautiful Black

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 sixtytourth
OF his blood. All such stations foaled in or
before 1880 are admitted free. tee OF one
dollar is charged tor registering each stallion
foaled since 1880, and for 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 tor the press,
will contain about four thousand pedigrees,
carefully compiled from original sources, n
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 rs can be Afforded 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 rgidly 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.
err families for both speed and endurance on
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received for short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

RIPTON.
Trul'

WEsTPoRT, Conn.,, Nov. ~, 1889.
JOSEPH BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sir :-Ripton was bred by the
late Burr Meeker, Sem; the year |
cannot state. He was sired by horse
called the Heron Horse. All can state
about the origin and history of the He
ron horse is that the late Morris Ket-
chum, the New York banker, whose
country residence was at Westport,
bought mare with colt by her side
somewhere on Long Island. He sent a
man up to this place with the mare and
the colt. The man rode the mare and
the colt followed by Der side. This
journey gave the colt what are called
sand heels. from which he never recover
ed. He always had punches on his heels,
but they meyer made him lame. The
colt grew up an entire colt and when
old enough sired Ripton. The dam of
Ripton was good-sized brown mare,
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1889-12-06

no white on her, low headed and no
speed. l cannot now ascertain where
Meeker, ST., got her. She was quite old
when she foaled Ripton. The sire of
Ripton grew up and became mature
horse and was traded about from place
to place; was owned at one time by
the old Heron family of Redding
Ridge, Conn, and then by the late
Nathaniel Lyon of Dodgingtown, few
miles north of Redding Ridge. Then he
was returned to Westport and an Irish
carman by the name of Welch owned
him and used him as a cart horse. While
he was thus owned by Welch he covered a
number of mares at nominal sum.
Welch used to run him short distances
over our common roads for small wagers
and he was always the winner. When
the colt Ripton grew up William Meeker,
the son of Burr Meeker, ST., used to ride
him and man by the name of Henry
Nichols of Weston, Conn.,, owned a
horse that could then trot mile in about
three minutes. Ripton was about a
match for him. Sometimes one would
win and sometimes the other. 1t very
soon became noised about that Ripton
was a trotter and Samuel II. Blackman,
then of Norwalk, Conn.,, bought him of
Burr Meeker, ST., for $3.50 and then
sold him to man by the name of
Hutchinson of New York and he then
went into the hands of the late Hiram
Woodruff of New York. | am aware
that this letter falls far short of def
mite and exact pedigree of the horse
Ripton, but it is the best can do aided by
a gentleman by the name of W.. Finch
of this place, who is personally cogniz-
ant of all the above facts. Burr Meeker,
Sr., died March 20, 1860, aged 70 years.
Morris Ketchum is also dead Any
other information possible will be cheer
fully furnished you on request.
Yours respectfully,
MOSES w. WILSON.

S. w. SPINk-ANDY JOHNSON AND
SPHINX.
ACCURATE INFORMATION FROM RAN
DOLPH HUNTINGTON.

DOlPH HUNTINGTON.
ROCHESTER, n. Y, Nov. 20, 1885,
JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir-There knever was a horse
called IS. w. Sphinx" candy Johnson"
by Henry Clay, was bred and raised by
the late S. w. Sphinx, and was called
"The Sphinx Horse" until sold by him {;
after which this horse was called ANDY
Johnson"
The late A. E. DANES bred and raised Il
colt by Andy johnson from mare
known as the "Whtton Mare" and when
race, his first trotting race; and Mr..
Sphinx, who was present as one of the
judges, named the colt after himself
plain "Spink' by which name he
was known in all his races from four
years old until he died.
A. K. DANES died the summer of 1888.
and | bought "Spink' from the widow
as soon after Mr.. DANES death as COM
mon decency would permit (within a
month";, owning him until | had from
my mares all the fillies and colts |
wanted by him; then sold him to Geo.
w. Archer.
From the time he was advertised in the
stud, his dam (the Wilton mare) was
printed upon his stud bills as by imported
"7rustee.'
When "Captain Lewis" by "Spink" APP
peared in 1882, and with all possible
haste was credited to thoroughbred, |
commended for the true breeding of "Cap-
tain Lewis" sire and his dam, also of
"Spink" and his dam. As was obliged
to dispute the breeding of the dam of
Sphinx as it had been published for 10
years, upset two ,rdsp nests. one in the
house of an uniformed, untruthful and
unreliable fellow named ii. NJ. Little of
Macedon Ga mere lad at that time), and
one in the house of A. f. DANES, and
the 1casps came for me through Turf,
Field q Farm, a paper which | had done
more for, for II years, than they had
done for themselves.
The dam of "Spink" was gray mare
which ran upon one of Rockwell's ped
ding wagons until worn out, after which
DANES (then keeping tavern) got her,
and bred her to Andy Johnson, the issue
being the little horse "Spink," and the
only horse ever so christened and called
through life.
This Wilton mare was called "Gray
Kit" and was from Il mare brought from
New Jersey into Seneca county, at which
lime she was an old mare of remarkable
speed for those days, having been long
used as track mare. She was by the
Arab horse Sultan and from a Messenger
mare. A two-year-old colt, said to be
by american Eagle" by c. M. Clay by
Henry Clay, jumped into the lot with
this old mare, and "Gray Kit" was the
result.
With regard to "Nero," / knew him
from the time Douglass Benham got him
and not only rode after him often, but
bred to him in 1861. He was Black
Hawk of the Ethan Allen family. He
did not get the dam of Sphinx. | have
his breeding in full, also his breeder and
different ownerships up to the time OF
his death, which l presume you also
have.

the so-called little horse. As general
rule, the smaller horses beat the larger
ones in fast races, and the smaller horses
are at the front with the fastest records
yet made; as is also little Hopefuls rec
ord to wagon, the fastest recorded. The
little Thomas jefferson outlasted and
beat all the big stations that were pit
ted against him at the great stallion race
at Buffalo, and we might name many in
stances of the same kind. Still IL there
are any that think tall horses are the
best, because they look more lofty (and
this is the only point we shall give them),
we would say to such, select the best tall
mares you can get, and breed them to the
to height, and thus increase the size
without diminishing the quality; as the
right quality is indispensable, but the
height is not a necessary quality in the
road horse and trotter.
The reasons, then, why we should
select the Arabian in preference to
all Others to improve our present
strains of blood, is, because the Ara
bian is the only pure bred horse in
existence, and consequently is sure to
stamp many of his characteristics and
good qualities upon his offspring, so that
mares successfully bred to the Arabian
will produce foals so,nearly alike in size,
color, action and general characteristics
that they may be easily mated for double
teams, and it may also be known with
some degree of certainty what the prog
eny will be; while from our other strains
owing to their diverse origin, two foals
by the same horse out of the same mare
may be as unlike as were the Handle
tonian trotters Great Eastern and Gold
smith Maid. If we wish to secure fine
ness and perfection of form, we can get
these from the Arabian in greater de-
gree than from any other horse. If we
want suppleness, style, action and elias
ITCHY, the Arabian has these; if we want
perfection of feet, joints, limbs and gait
the Arabian has these if we want great.
er size, we must select larger mares t.
breed from, which. together with climat
ic influence and better feed, will produce
this result: if we want soundness anC
vigor, safe, rapid and long-distanct
traveller, we can get these from tho Arab
if we want docility, affection, courage
and the highest intelligence in the horse
the Arab has these; if we want speed
either at the run or trot, history show.
that the Arabian is the fountain head O.
both. and that by uniting our presen
strains of horses with him, both hav,
been increased; from present indications
and reasonable deductions from his pas
history, it is evident that speed at boil
the run and trot can be further increased
by breeding to the Arab.
The facts which favor the introduction
of more Arabian blood in our horses ar,
as plenty as the forest leaves in summer
and cannot be obliterated by writers o
by the owners, breeders or handlers o
many of the imperfect, unsound and in
termiXed mongrels that are in the stu,
at the present time. Facts are stubborn
things; Arab horses have come to STAY.
