SCOTS HIATOGA.

A few "reminiscences of this remarkable
horse-I say remarkable for the reason
that, all things considered, he was prob
ably the most remarkable horse of his
day always looked upon as a horse of
plebeian blood, and despised PAGER. So
it was when he was in his prime. Indiv-
idually, SCOTS Hiatoga was the beau
ideal of the thoroughbred, standing fully
l6 hands high, rich bay, black points,
legs, muscles and sinews of whipcord and
hoofs of steel; fast, at the pace, as the
wind. 1t is not generally known that
Scott's Hiatoga was ridden over the hills
of Jefferson and Carroll counties, o.,
thirty odd miles, and at Carrollton was
put in race the same day, and distanced
the field the first heat in 2:26 under a
strong pull but such is the case. There
are plenty of living witnesses to this fact.
He could, in his nineteenth year, show
quarters in "a sec.
l do not believe that one-half of his get
are credited up in "Wallace's Year Book"
that should be. know of few myself

of 2 80 at Carrollton, o. Il think this was

PHOENIX MORGAN.
EAST ALBURGH, VT,
June 10, 1889.

JOSEPH BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sir MIR. c. II. Clark remem-
bers Phoenix Morgan quite we'll. He
says he was chestnut, no marks, l5-2,
weight, 100 lbs; bred by VIM. Miller
of Alburgh, VT; sired by old Phoenix
dam, bright bay, bred and owned by
VIM. Miller aud sired by Olive Branch.
VIM. Miller sold Phoenix Morgan to Ia
Dor Sewell of Alburgh. Mr.. Clark says
that Phoenix Morgan was very hand
some horse. Old Phoenix was owned by
Lyons Smith of South Hero, VT, but Mr..
Clark cannot remember in what year.
There is a son of Lyons Smith in town.
| will try and see him if you wish; per-
haps he can tell more in regard to ole
Phoenix.
Yours truly,
f. II. BRAYTON.

The performance Of Guy, in which he
reduced his record to 2 ia for wager
of 81 at Cleveland, Ohio, July 10, was
remarkable one. The quarters were
made in 32a, 32t, 32l, 33i. He wore "a
ounce shoes and l0-ounce toe weights.
An effort is being made to get Jay-Eye-
See and Guy together at the coming
Cleveland Grand Circuit meeting. A
$1,000 purse will be given. The same
association will offer handsome sum of
money to the great three-year-old Axtel
to beat the stallion record, 2:l3t
Axtell, the great two-year old, stands
1929 hands, and measures the same over
rump as at the withers. The dav he
made his record he weighed 1850 pounds.
and was regarded as fifty pounds too
high in flesh. His shoes weigh five
ounces forward and three ounces behind.
Mr.. c. w. Williams, owner of Axtel.
is decidedly in luck. The same day he
drove a three-year-old to a record of
2:l53, he put a record of PA on another.
Ellerton, of the same age, in a fourth
heat, and in the easiest possible manner.
Allerton is by Jay Bird; dam by Mann
brlno Boy, sire of the dam of Axtell, by
Mambrino Patchen. By the way, Mr..
Williams intimates that Axtell's fee next
season will be $1,000. As two-year-old
he received one patron at $50. This year
he got seventeen at $500. "Nothinp
succeeds like success" and the best way
to advertise young stallion is to put "A
fast record on him.

DANIEL LAM BERT.


finished Mace leaped from his sulky,
bounded into the judges stand and,
swinging his hat, declared that Lambert
was the greatest three-year-old trotter in
the world, Offering to match him at from
$500 to $4,000 side against anything of
his age that could be produced.
In his five-year-old form Daniel LAM
bert was bought by Mr.. A, c. Harris for
r. 5. Dennev, then living in Boston,
who used him one season at Saratoga, y.
Y, for road purposes, beating the best
trotters found at that famous summer re-
sort. A few years later Mr.. Denney sold
him to Benjamin f. Bates, who sent him
to A. c. Harris, then located at Cream
Hill Stock Farm, Shoreham, VT, where
the horse remained from 1866 to 1877. 1t
has been supposed by many that Mr.
Harris owned an interest in the horse.
but that is a mistake. Previous to his
being sent to Shoreham he got but few
foals. During the time Mr. Harris had
charge of him he was bred to 1912 mares,
but the number of foals resulting is not
definitely known. His service fee during
his last years at Cream Hill was 500 the
season. From Shoreham he was taken to
the Bates Farm, Waterfowl, Mass, where
he stood in charge of William Tourte-
lotte until the fall of 1880. when he was
bought by David Snow of Andover
20 Io, 4, =
tythird year. Alter passing to the own
ership of Mr.. Snow his service fee was
advanced to 5000 and later raised to $500
the season. In the fall of 1854, when in
his twentyseventh year, he was bought
at public sale by some Middlebury, Vt,
gentlemen for $3.50. probably the larg-
est price ever bid for horse of that age
in America.
The season of 1855 he made at Middle
bury, and was then taken to the farm of
Joseph Battell in Weybridge, two miles
north of Middlebury village, where he
made the season of 1886. In these two
seasons he got about thirty foals, about
the same number each season. This
practically closed his stud career, though
he is said to have produced two foals in
1887, one of which, however. was born
dead. These thirty children of his old
age have all the vigor, elegance and
speed promise of those of his prime, and
are very highly valued. The only one
we know to have started in race was a
bay tilly bred by w. w. Moore of Shore
ham breeder and owner of Gillig, 2 :234 3,
and she won the yearling race of the
Vermont Breeders association in 1887
oyer large field, with great ease. Dan
iel Lambert himself was shown both to
bride and in harness at the Breeders
meeting at Rutland in August, 1883, then
thirty years of age, and commanded uni
versal applause for his action, style and
fire. He was frequently exercised in
harness up to the time of his death,
which occurred on June 20 last at Mid
dlebury, He ate well and was active up
to the day of his death, which was not
apparently, from old age, although he
was then thirty-one. but from an acute
attack of mad staggers, from which he
died in about seven hours. He was still
owned by the Middlebury company, but
from 1885 Mr.. Battell owned a majority
of the shares.

Trust.

A little violet grew down in deep dell,
beautiful for it's fragrance, beautiful for
it's contentment, beautiful for it's trust.
1t was shut in by high banks SO that it
saw naught of what was passing in the
great world around it; it could onlylook
up to the blue sky SO far above it's head,
which the tall banks on each side seemed
almost to touch, and trust. 81 am only
a little thing" it would say, "but l do
what | can" And it sent it's fragrance
far and near, so that the passers-by easily
found it, though it was small, and they
loved it for it's beauty, and sought the
dell for it's fragrance. Day after day it
sent it's one little talent abroad in the air
tillit seemed multiplied a ahundred-fold. All
the summer it grew and blossomed, and
when it died people said owe miss thefra-
grant life of the little violet; and the les
son of trust it taught us.'-From the
Back Seat.
