SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. $, 1890.
MIR. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear SRI received from Mr.. l.. V.
Shippee, stockton, CAL, correspondence
from you respecting the breeding of
Katy Tricks. As was her owner dur
ing the notoriety she gained through
Empress, Condo and others, | presume
| can give you all the information of
her breeding that can possibly be gain
ed. Her breeder and original owner
was Archimides IIanan of Dayton,
State of Washington. The Information |
had from him was that the dam of Katy
Tricks was mare he called Jude. She
was purchased in Illinois and her owner
said she was an Ohio mare. The horse
Colonel was also purchased in Illinois,
and the owner said he was half Morgan.
Hanan took them across the plains in
1854. Colonel served Jude and she pro-
duced Il stud colt in 1886. At two years
old the colt served Jude, his own moth
er, and she produced Katy Tricks.
Katy Tricks is the dam of Tricks, quite
fast mare that could trot in , :35; her
sire was a horse called Bailey, pedigree
unknown. Katy Tricks was also the
dam of Sally Tricks, that could trot in
2 40 as "A three-year-old. Her sire was
Vernon Patchen, he by George NJ. Patch
en-, dam Lady Vernon. Her next colt
was Empress by Whipple's IIambetoni-
an. Whipple's lIambletonian is regis
tered, so you can trace his breeding, as
well as that of his sire. Guy Miller,
which was by Rysdyk's Hambletonian.
Her next colt was Judge by Bill Hay
ward. Judge was quite fast PAGER !;
never was trained. Her next colt was
Emperor by Bill Ralston. Emperor was
fast and won the three-year-o,d purse;

trained, but could trot in about 40.
Her next colt was Condo by Abbots-
ford. You know his best time 2 is
double. Her next colt was Conference
by Steinway. He is East and do not
know his time he was fast colt. Her
next colt was by Steinway and died

Mr.. Larabie brings home fromhis recent
trip some of the finest horses to be seen
in the United States-Allen, Waukesha
and Ned Wilkes.
Allen is bay stallion, with a 2.3l4
record. He was foaled in 1880, is l54
hands and weighs 100 lbs; was sired
by Star Ethan. son of Daniel Lambert,
Star Ethan's dam by Churchill horse,
by Hills Vermont Black Hawk.
1st dam by David Hill, son of Green
Mountain Morgan; ID dam by Hills
Vermont Black Hawk; 3D. by Billy Root
by Sherman by Justin Morgan; 18th dam
by imported Telescope, thoroughbred.
Allen is King of the Morgan family.
He is a typical Morgan in every par
ticular and combines more desirable
qualities than any Morgan that eyer
lived ethan Allen not excepted. AL
len has bone and muscular development
to a marked degree, with extra size for
his family, with gait and characteristics
that only belong to that family, and
with all he possesses the speed of a race
horse. Allen was purchased by Mr..
Larabie (for himself and brother) at a
long price, to crafty their ideas and to
prove that the Morgan, for all purposes
is the greatest family that we have. Al
len, and span of his colts, which will
be used as team, were purchased at St
Adams, Vermont.

was chestnut. She could trot 20 miles
with most any horse at her time. She
was brutally treated by her former
owner, who got her to sulking so that
she would not go on the track. though a
good mare on the road. She was about
l4b hands high, well put up and had
pair of iron legs and feet, and never had
a blemish on her. James Golf, the noted
trainer, that had driven Flora Temple in
her day, pronounced Katy Tricks her
equal could she have been driven on the
track. Empress was the most remarka-
BILE mare | ever saw. She was chestnut
and rather small, say 10 hands. She
was not halter broke till after three
years old. and when broke she could not
trot Il mile i'm ten minutes. She was
pronounced by horsemen total failure
and would not have brought $40. l.,
however, thought differently and insist
ed that she should be broken properly.
She was broken by colored man that
| had in the stable and worked by him,
and in four months out of the breaking
cart she trotted full mile in , :235 over
the Oakland track; the track was in bad
condition and she had to be driven in
the middle of the track The fastest
time at that date was made by Elaine,
2:2l5, as a four-year-old. am sorry
that | cannot give you more and better
information respecting her breeding
and that of her dam, Jude, and of Colo.

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 30, 1890.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear ,Str:-As you are the recognized
authority on the Morgan stock of horses,
write to inquire if the pedigree of II
horse called Wildair by Black Hawk has
ever been traced by you or whether you
know it to be authentic He was bred
by l.. w. Pease of Shoreham, VT, sired
by Vermont Black IIawk-if that was
the name of the sire of Ethan Allen
dam Messenger mare. Mr.. G.. f.
Needham of Bellota, Cal, a native of
Shoreham, tells me he knew the Pease
mare, gray mare, and always under
stood her to be a Messenger mare.
The horse Wildair was taken to Utica,
Licking Co., Ohio, where he was kept
for many years, getting some splendid
stock, the descendants of which are
sure to come to the front, and the old
horses pedigree and his history ought
to be preserved, that the old stock may
receive their share of credit for the per-
was taken to Ohio about 1857 or '5s, was
black horse of about 1850 lbs, and
could trot on our half-mile track at
| Utica in about , ;35. Mr.. l.. W. Pease,
his owner, married a Miss Bingham of
Cornwall, | think, and belieye still
lives in Vermont somewhere. If you
have ever printed the history of Will
dair, or ever do so, wish you would
send me a copy of the REGISTER con.
tanning it.
Yours truly,
