DAM OF CHELSEY D.

Editor Of the Horse Breeder:-I notice
that Chelsey ID. is giving a good account
of himself. Up here, where he was bred,
we consider it II great horse that can
Jump from green one to record of , lis
in so short a time as Chelsey ID. has done.
In your report of races at Hampden
Park, his dams pedigree is given as by
Hugo, son of Jefferson Prince. This is
an error, as the dam of Chelsey ID. Is an
other Hugo.
The sire of Chelsey DIS dam made sey-
eral seasons here. His pedigree is as fol-
lows: Hugo, by Doctor Parmley, by
Rvsdyk's Hambletonian. The dam of
Hugo was by imported CONSERVATION.
Chelsey ID. thus has two crosses to i'm
ported CONSERVATION, and one to Bacon's
Ethan Allen, through the dam of his sire.
Hugo was brought here by Mr.. W. A.
Hough, now of Lyons, y. Y. This
horse (IIugo) was bred by Mr.. Allen
of Johnstown. this State.

DAM OE PEACOCK.

For several years we have endeavored
to ascertain the breeding of the horse
Peacock, said to be the sire of the dam of
s. ID. c., says the Mirror and Farmer.
Recently we received letter from Silas
II. Towle of Fairfield, VT, who says;
Peacock was raised in this town by
James Ryan, now deceased. Mr.. Ryan
bought mare III foal by sherman Black

horse-of cattle buyer, who said if the
mare had colt it would be worth more
than all the horses Mr.. Il. had. He also
lett the breeding of the horse cone of
Sherman's posters which was pasted into
an old book. This old book cover Mrs.
Ryan gave me several years ago. Among
the list of fast horses by Sherman named
in the hand-bill is General Knox, 2.26,

cannot give the breeding of Peacock S
dam. If could find one of his old bills
it would doubtless give it, but Mrs. X.
has hunted many times without being
able to find one.
Peacock was seal brown about 10
hands, and weighed between $50 and
1000 pounds. lie was the gamiest, hand
soonest and most horse of any ever In
this vicinity. The expression is now
often heard, lie is as handsome as old

THE MORGAN REGISTER,

A Register intended to include all stations of
merit that trace in direct male line to Justin
Morgan and having Mt least one sixty-fourth
of his blood All such stations foaled in or
before 1880 are admitted tree. A fee of one
dollar is charged tor registering each stallion
oaled since 1880, and for each mare whenever
foaled. All mares are eligible that have the
descent and inheritance above prescribed lot
stations. The first volume, the final sheets
OF which are now being revised tor the press
will contain about four thousand pedigrees,
carefully compiled from original sources, a
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
portraits of Morgan horses, and handsomely
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed but will be as 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 dlscrim-
mating rigidly between what Is known ana
what is unknown, and setting down nothing
as ascertained which is in doubt. Sources OF
Information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work Tor
himself. Full descriptions OF the animals reg
istered will be given, and tables showing the
merits of the Morgans, as compared with 9th
er families Tor both speed and endurance on
the track, will be appended. Entries will be
received for Il short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

"There is no doubt about his sire;
never knew of his breeding being con-
tradlcted here. lie was always known
as a Black Hawk horse, and his stock
were called Black Hawks"
Another correspondent at Enosburgh
Falls, VT, writing of the dam of Nor
gan stallion owned by him, says:
''Her sire, old Peacock. was by Sher-
man Black Hawk, Reg. No. 142, by Ver-
mont Black Hawk (Hil's) No. 5. Dam of

Billy Root
The dam of S. d. c., known as the
Punchard mare, was purchased by Mrs.
Punchard of Andover, Mass, some
twenty-five years ago, of a travelling man,
who brought her and another mare from
Vermont, and said she was sired by the
horse called Peacock. When Mrs. Pun
chard died, the mare came into possession
of her nephew, Amasa Clark of Brook
line, Mass. She was the best family and
driving horse-eXcept one-we ever
knew. She could go in $50 and was an
immense roadster, and stood without ty-
ing anywhere. Besides S. ID. c., She
was the dam of a very fast gelding own
ed by G.. ID. Welch of this city. and of
the stallion Belknap Wilkes, owned by
James w. Cogswell of Gilmanton
We print this account of Peacock in
the hope that some one of our numerous
readers in Vermont may be able to give
us further information in regard to his
breeding, especially of his dam, where
!, she was raised, who owned her, etc., and
also of his get, and possibly the name of
the man that sold the pair of mares to

Morgan died on the farm of Clifford
Bean. There was a Black Hawk in Tun-
bridge that went to New York; bay;
foaled there and kept there seven or
eight years.
Silas Parker of Thetford, born 1909,
says: 81 owned little white-faced
horse, bay. 900 lbs, called Young Shark,
that got at auction at Fairlee. Smith
owned him before. A very proud horse.
Sold him to Daniel Batchelder of Coven-
try, who kept him some time. There
was gray horse when | was boy, part
Morgan, called the Kasson horse. Bowen
of Cornth had him. He liked to have
killed old Kasson. Kasson lived at Top

had been to Boston in the trucks. Bow

He was built like the Morgans, not very

Mr.. of East Corinth says

that he kept six or eight years. The
kasson horse was Morgan horse. He
was ugly"
Mr.. Rowland of East Cornth says

Mr.. Sawyer of Corinth thinks that Mr.
Boyce of Newbury bought the kassol
horse of Kasson; he doesn't think Bower
owned him. Mr.. Sawyer says: 81 wa

geldings that has stood the test for many
years, and is likely to remain untouched
for some time to come; and it was this
same blood transmitted by Timoleon
through his other less distinguished but
scarcely less worthy son, Stump-the-
Dealer, softened and refined it may be by
its intermingling with that of the best
and speediest pacing families we have
yet known, that enabled Little Brown
jug to get mark in three successive
heats in harness that stood unapproach-
ed from 1881 until 1890, when the almost
unbeaten Hal Pointer, a son of the same
record and that distinction against all
comers, and that also enabled the great
Brown Hal, when in a crippled condition,
to win the third heat in one of the most
holly contested races ever seen upon the
American turf in 2;125, and defeat one
of the most game and speedy horses the
turf has ever known.
st was this same blood that enabled
Bonesetter to win some of the most stub
bornly contested races eyer trotted II
America, and to hold for years the dis
tinction of trotting more heats below
2 80 than any stallion that ever started
in race.
without claiming upon general prin
ciples that the blood of the thorough
bred is desirable or beneficial in the trot
ting or pacing horse, and without eX
pressing any opinion upon the subject a
an abstract proposition, yet it seems t
me that there is or can be no escape fror
the conclusion that in the instances
have mentioned the warm and speed
sustaining blood of the great Timoleo
and Diomed, grandsre of both the dar
of Boston and Timoleon, contributed a
much to the success of the great tul
celebrities through whose veins this il
: estinable blood flows as all the trottin
and pacing blood combined. =. NJ. B.

THE PEDIGREE OF BESSIE G.

Considerable time has elapsed since
Guy +. Crosse, Esq, of Santa Rosa first
tried to establish the pedigree of Bessie
G., the dam of Sunset and Anteeop, but
patience and perseverance have helped to
surmount the difficulties usually arising
in Investigations of this sort. Mr.. Crosse
purchased the mare from j. B. Hinkle of
Petaluma, that gentleman having got her
from Daniel Cutter. Mr.. Cutter has sign
ed the following document, which clears
up the breeding as far as it can possibly
ever be known:
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. l3, 1890.
hereby certify that the mare which
sold to j. b. Hnkle of Petaluma was
raised by me; when in my possession
called her Nellie" but understand
they have changed her name to Bessie
g." If she is still alive, she will be
eleven years old this spring; she wa;
sired by liking Philip" a son of Whip
pies "Hambletonian" 125. The dam o.
"Nellie" was by George Nj. Patchen
Jr.' but | cannot trace the pedigree Of
the second dam. DANIEL CUTTER.

criticise the eourse Of Salisbury IN
the dispute with Portugal until he
was more fully informed as 70 the
details OF the case. Referring to the
United States and her plans for an
enlarged navy, he said that country
is still enjoying the comforts and
blessings Of a restricted trade, and
therefore would pay 40 or 50 per cent
more 10 build a navy than it would
II content to compete on equal terms
with other nations. But It's resources
are so great that it can ahord TO pay
for the luxury Of protection. The
worst was that, while America
would cite England's example for
enlarging her navy. England will
give a similar excuse fer a further
naval increase. Referring to the
Parnell commission, he said these
cumbrous proceedings constituted a
case Of oppression practiced upon an
individual by a legislative chamber
and an executive government with

Rx-President Cleveland Expresses
HI. Views on the Matter.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Morrison
Muuford. editor Of the Kansas City
Times, who is visiting New York,
has had an interview with ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, which he tele-
graphed to his paper tonight. The
following portions OF general interest
are taken, for Mr.. Cleveland has
lost none of the zeal on tariff re-
form which inspired his celebrated
message:
'It is most gratifying to me-" he
said, .'that the masses, rs well as the
leaders Of the party, are taking hold
Of the tariff issue with such spirit
and evident determination to win.
NY letters from every part OF the
country show the extent and depth
of the agitation. / am greatly
pleased to find a degree Of earnest
ness and fervor beyond that OF men
engaged in politics. From my OBJ
servations in New York and from
my correspondence, l conclude that
thinking men Of the nation are
massed almost solidly on the side OF
tariff REFORM"
al then said to Cleveland that
the democratic party were already
preparing for 1892, and were looking
forward to that campaign with con-
fidence and a sentiment virtually
unanimous that he should be our
lesder."
Gas to that, 4" he replied, at is our
cause, and
NOT PERSONAL CONSIDERATION,
that should concern US. If l con-
suited my own feelings | would pre-
fer to have some one else take the
lead"
"But no one else is thought Of
among the Democratic masses"
"Men who have claims TO leader
ship develop rapidly, and il is a long
time till 1892" quickly replied the
ex-President. cit is not a matter Of
men, but principles. 1T would be a
pity not to carry forward the work
which the party has 50 grandly in
augurated, and there should be no
halt until the aims they seek are
ACCOMPLISHED and the people are in
the full possession Of the benefits and
blessings which an accumulation OF
inequalities called into existence 10y
apathy on one side and self-interest
on the other have diverted from
them. l rejoice in feeling that the
Democratic party is a repository Of
the hest principles and purposes;
that its ranks TEEN with the intelli-
gent young manhood OF the country;
that il enjoys a complete monopoly
OF every American policy not merely
sectional or time-serving."
