BEN FRANkLlN'S GLORY.
RECORD OF THE SEASONS PERFOR
MANCES OF HIS CHILDREN IN
PUBLIC RACES.

Ben Franklin may his tribe increase;
and Judging from the performances of
his children this season, the demand for
the progeny of this grand old hero will
increase the number thereof greatly
The record of his sons and daughters this
season stands without parallel in New
England. No other New England sire
can approach him in presenting such Il
roll of honor as his. Not alone in the
number of , 80 performers is his merit as
sire of fast ones permanently establish
ed, but also in the number of horses trot-
ting on the edge of the charmed circle,
their owners desire to do So There is
one fact to be considered in the perfor-
mances of these horses whose names and
marks are printed below that gives their
performances special merit, and the
horseman will appreciate this fact, viz
With one exception, every record was
made on Il half-mile track, and the turtle
and the laity. too, know full well what
this means. 1t means that had they trot-
ted on mile course their marks would
be lowered fully six, and probably more
seconds. The records fail to make any
such showing by any New England stall
lion as Ben Franklin's. Handicapped a,
he is by all the disadvantages of training
horses in Vermont, his roll of honor
grows all the more bright when com
pared with the opportunities that Other
great sires have in other States; anC
when this fact is considered, his merit IA;
a producer of speed makes his rank higf
indeed. There is another factor in thi.
problem of speed showing that is worthy
of special mention, and that is, these
marks were not obtained in private trials
neither are they "tin cup" records. They
were in public races, in competition will
other horses, and over regulation courses

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 sixtN-fourth
of his blood. All such stations foalcd 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 fot
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
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed, but will be us 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 and verifying information, dscrim
mating rigidly between what is known and
what is unknown, and setting down nothing
rs asccrtaincd which is in doubt Sources OF
information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work foi
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 Oh
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received for short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

statement that New York Beauty's
the fact that Wallace seems not to be
inspired to make any explanation of the
matter; the fact of Wallace's utterance
of three distinct and contradictory pedi-
grees for this mare; the fact that he has
authoritatively announced in his maya
zine that New York Beauty was the
sire; the fact of his not having pub
lished word of testimony about the
matter; and the final fact that the tes-
tmony given in the above letter is the
precise evidence relied upon to sustain
every perfectly authenticated pedigree

together would seem to warrant the
suggestion that if Wallace really mean:

DAM OF THE TAFT HORSE.
CROWN POINT, n. Y, Nov.S, ISIS

CROWN POINT, n. Y, Nov.S, 1889.
JOSEPH BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sir IL have made some progress
in looking up the breeder of the dam of
the Taft Horse. Have found several
men that will state and all agree that
she was bred by the late John Cross
man of this place. Samuel Crossman,
his only son left here, says that his fa-
ther bought mare of John Kinds of
Addison, VT, and that she came from
Long Island after being bred to a thor
oughbred running stallion, being then in
foal. The produce was a very fine bay
mare from which Mr.. Crossman raised
several colts and fillies from Sir Charles,
Sir Henry and Post Boy stations.
Among the lot was bay mare that he
sold to the late Allen Sturtevant of
Schroon River, \. Y, and after few
seasons of hard work she got sprained
and Mr.. Timothy Taft of this town trad
ed for her and bred her twice to Black
Hawk and got the stallion and also a
Hammond, called skate Taft and was
sold by Gen. Hammond for long price
for those days. This story only proves
that her grandsire might have been thor
oughbred, and it is doubtful whether you
can ever ascertain just what stallion sired
her, as it must have been fifty-tive or
sixty years ago. Mrs. Root has for
warded me some papers showing the
agreement that he Russell Roof had
with Mr.. Bailey in regard to two horses,
which shows conclusively that one of
them was named Peacock" and the 9TH
er they call "True Britton," which shows
that there may have been three stations
belonging to Bailey, viz, Peacock,
"True Britton" and Bolly Morgan; but
it is more likely that he called the True
Britton horse Bolly Morgan after he
went West. The horse Peacock was

Sunol made another record by this per-
formance by making the fastest mile ev-
err accomplished by a California-bred
trotter. The successful achievement was
greeted with wild cheers by the great
crowd, while more than one of the lady
enthusiasts on the club house balcony
split her glove in applauding the crack
trotter of the Pacific coast. Margin, on
his return to the stand, was met with Il
genuine ovation.
Suno is beautiful dark bay flly,
foaled in 1856. She is by Electoneer,
son of Rysdyk's IIambletonian, and sire
of Maugarita, 2lG; Anteo, 2:lG; Adair
2I7t; Antevolo, III, and twenty-foul
others that have trotted in 2 80 or better
Her dam is WaXana, by Gen. Benton
second dam Waxy, by Lexington. Sumo
is the product of theory warmly advo
Gated by many breeders, that the thor
oughbred cross in strain produces speed
and endurance. This theory has beer
often sneered at, but performances o
horses reared in this way indicate tina
there is something in it. Maud 5. is 81
bred, so is Jay Eye See and Clingstone
Sunol was bred and reared at Palo Alto
and has always been handled by Charlie
Marvin. In the stables catalogue ap
pears the sentence: "Sunol will be tn
sensation of 1885," She verified the pre-
diption hv rnal,inu tba fastest two-vpa,
old record, lis, and now she has mad
