LABOR NOTES.
A State Jurisdiction for the
Engineers.

The stationary engineers, who belong to
the National Association, have received in
telligence from that body that a State juris-
diction will be granted 10 the California
associations. While this is not quite all
the San Francisco body asked and hoped for
it is a step in that direction, and considered
a big improvement on the old plan. The
local body has plans and ambitions of its
own, and has found itself greatly hampered
by not being able to move without the con-
sent of the national body. 1t was ON this
account that separate jurisdiction was
asked. AT the election Of officers of the
National Association II. w. Smith, delegate
from this city, was elected door keeper.

Niger BABY (2:27'4 .

Editor Of the Horse Breeder:-I saw an
inquiry concerning the breeding of Mig
ger Baby in Horse Notes of Nov. %.
Niger Baby was foaled in Washington,
VT, the property of Il Mr. WATSON, and
was sired by Yankee Bill. His dam was a
brown pacing mare, pedigree unknown.
Niger Baby paced at first, but was
brought out and driven in his first eight
races by j. \. Whitney of Tunbridge, VT.
This horse was owned in Orange county,
VT, until he was sold to c. +. Mosher of
Lawrence, Mass. | notice Ludlow, VT,
wants the credit of Niger Baby. A man
told me that he was in Ludlow, and the

that Belle Hamlin was raised there.

LETTER FROM JOSEPH HARKER.
EVERETT HOUSE,
NEW YORK, April ID, $3.50.


Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Ny dear Sr:-Yours of the 9th receiv-
ed Kate was purchased about 1856 In
Canada by an Irishman by the name of
Gourley, now dead, who had small
stock farm short distance from New
burgh on the North river. He raised
Brunette, Bruno and Daniel Boone. He
sold Brunette as three-year-old for $500.
He sold Bruno and Daniel Boone at one
and two years, l think, for $3.50 for the
two. He then sold old Kate to Major
Norton, neighbor, for 800. The Major
raised Young Bruno, Miss Brunette and
Bruso, and then l think he gave the old
mare to Mr.. Backman. | bought Bru-
nette and Bruno from Mr.. Monot, now
dead, as four and five-year-olds, for S30,-
000 They trotted in 1867 to my road
wagon weighing $50 lbs. in 2:254. If
Bruno had been as steady as the mare,
they would have trotted in 2:15. They
trotted half mile four days previous to
their trial on the Fashion track in :06-
first quarter in 81. second in 81. | bought
Young Bruno at five years old and Miss
Brunette and Breeze when two and three
years old. | owned Lulu, Gazelle (form-

as four-vear-old and let Mr.. Wander
bilt have her as a special favor. | paid
$50, 900 for her; in 1856, the year after
VIM. Ii. Vanderbilt sold her to Mr.. Bon
ner, | offered the latter for a friend OF
mine 100000 for her. | sold my brood

that he could take Billy and go to haul

not help himself. Holcomb never claim
ed Billy to be anything but a Black

A MICHIGAN MORGAN.

SPOKANE FALLS, W., Jan. l, 1889.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear .Sir-While up on the Colville
Indian reservation $50 miles northwest
of here), about 10 days ago, CHANGED to
pick up copy of the Middlebury REGIS
TER and in it read your notice in regard
to a morgan Register, which | con-
slider grand undertaking, and it is a
great pity the matter has not had prop
err attention years before this. But
''better late than never" Years ago,
along in the sos, | had some experience
with the Black Hawk Morgan stock.
My brother, Eugene Smith, and B. w.
and r. II. jerks of st. Clair, Mich,
bought Crown Point Black Hawk of
Foster Breed of Whitehall and used him
exclusively as breeding stallion. |
was quite young then and used to take
care of him winters and drive him Just
enough for exercise. | consider that he
was about as perfect horse as ever
made a track in America; and, although
the brood mares in Michigan at that time
were generally all rather cold-blooded,
his progeny were A. No. ! and invaria-
bly, showed up the Morgan blood in
grand style. His colts were without ex-
ception elegant drivers and could 90 to
the end of the road if required. and some
of them were quite fast for that day.
My main object in troubling you with
this letter is to ask if you will kindly
look up this horses history and give him
proper notice in your new Register.
He was sired by the old David Hill
Black Hawk. a very nice Black Hawk
horse was also bought in your county
by Ben. jerks and taken up into Michi-
gan. He was black with star and one
or two white feet, | think. lie was
called Hardwood, and left some fine
colts in Michigan. | am raising a few
heavy draft horses, which Fay very well,
as they are the only kind of horses want
ed at present in new Western cities.
They are Percherons and Clydesdales.
| take no pride in them; they are too
much elephant and not enough horse for
an old horseman to enjoy himself with
| think in the course of year or two
shall call down into your county and try
to pick out something with as much of
the old Justin Morgan in them as posi-
BILE to get and bring back with me. In
conclusion permit me to say that | am
very anxious to see your new Register,
as | claim and think | can prove that
the Morgan horse is the best ever known
in America. | have been with them on
all kinds of roads and in all kinds of
weather, both in harness and saddle, and
never knew of one that was found want
ing.
