SIZE OF HORSES.

From Breeder and Sportsman.
In recent article under the above cap
ton, the Rural Spirit of Portland, Ore,
very correctly says: 1.-The question now
among breeders is how to produce an an
imal that will give the best returns for
the money paid for its rearing But as
the value is rated by quality, size cuts no
figure, unless the breeder should deter
mine that greater size could be added to
animals that now appear to be the most
popular"
The declaration that ''size cuts no fig
ure,' so long as the quality is kept up
permost in sight, is amply borne out by
the performances of some of the greatest
turf horses, both trotters and gallopers,
that haye so far appeared upon the
American tracks. Among the former
we had Jay-Eye-See, barely - hands
high, with Il record of 2:l0 Phallas,
2:l3i, so small that Notwithstanding he
had the best stallion record of any living
horse, Mr.. Corbitt purchased the untred
Guy Wilkes in preference to him; and
Alcazar, , 20, barely over ID hands and
an inch high, but so beautifully formed
that no man could guess within an inch
of his true height. Moreover. the once
famous May Howard, 2,24, was by Pad
dy MCGEE, a little gray pony l44 hands
high, with a record of 1871.
Among the gallopers we recall the
famous three-miler of olden times, Little
Flea, by Grey Eagle out of an imported
mare by ActHon. He was but III hands
high, and not only did three miles in :334
but subsequently drove Red Eye out in a
second heat of four miles in ;39i. Sher-
rod, who won a second heat of three
miles in 5:34, and Tapped Molly Jackson
out in third heat in :2S3, the record to
this very day, although the race was run
twenty-nne years ago, was even small
er horse than the Flea. Underhand, one
of the cracks of the English turf, won
| the Northumberland Plate three year con
| secutively, carrying l22 pounds in his
victory of 1859. He won the great Ebol
| handicap at York, with l27 lbs. up, and 6
Queens Plate, with l29 lbs, at five year.
old. Underhand was not fifteen hand;
high till he was five years old.
Imported Albion, who headed the win
ming sres of 1853, and was second tC
Revenue in the list of 1860 by only 81
of winnings, was black horse Is hands
high. Glencoe, the greatest of all oul
imported sires, was barely Is hands two
inches. Bonnie Scotland was under tina
height, and Luke Blackburn, his great
est son, never reached thattigure till h
was past six years old. King Alfonso
who beat both Ten Brock and Chesa
peake, was barely l5b hands, and hi
world-famous son FoXhall was evel
smaller. Bramble, the crack two mile
of 1879, was barely u hands high, an,
was known as the "Tennessee Runt" al
through his long turf career, and it i
doubtful if more consistent performe

colors to victory.
Hence we say the first question in tn
purchase of sire is accuracy of form

Time makes changes IN all WlRgS. The
English race horse descended from the
Arab, but varies now largely from
his Arab ancestor As rule he is taller
and larger; still the general characters
ties of the Arab horse are sustained.
The Morgan horse of the present day
has also undergone development and
as seen now in our part of Vermont.
where perhaps there is as much of the
blood as anywhere. has become some
what taller and more rangy ;lcharacteris-
tics which are adapted to the increased
speed demanded for the successful road
horse of the present day: but in every
essential feature of high finish, great
courage and long endurance he sustalns
the reputation and conforms to the char
acteristics of the Morgan horse OF 90
years or more ago. He still is incom-
parably the best horse we have for all
purposes; and even as race horse has
with US thus far demonstrated his super
iority over all other breeds introduced
into Vermont
The time has now come when to pres
erve the characteristics of the Morgan
horse. Derhaps TO still further develop
and intensity them. a Register has been
formed for the registration of animals
OF tins breed according TO rules when
have been adopted; for. il is thought. n
family or tyne can be created that will
be as marked in its form and quality and
reproduce itself with the same certainty
as the different breeds of cattle do, or
dogs. or fowls. or sheep. or horses. as
the Shetland ponies or Normans or
Percherons or thorougIlbreds. Believ-
Ing with the old maxim THAT what
ever is worth doing at all is worth doing
WELL" in preparing the register we have
considered it very desirable that the first
volume should be AS compiete as Doss-
Bile in the record of all Morgan stations
of note. since the founder of the family.
