WHEATON, Dec. 10, 1889.
j. BATTELL, Esq,
Dear Sir Your letters received; will
help you all | can, but | am too old to re-
member all you want to know. do not
remember the name of the horse that
sired the mare you refer to, but he was
as white as could be and was called Old
Messenger suppose the first Messen-
ger imported. She was sired in 1928
her dam by Old Magnum Bonum in 1922,
dam by Old Kersaul, Messenger as white
as he could be; Magnum Bonum as black
as a crow; Kersaul, cream, with black
name and tail and black list on his back,
as my memory serves me. He sired the
third dam in 1916. The owner or tender
of these horses do not remember, ONLY
one of them his name was Purdy, and |
cannot call to mind which one it was.
The Messenger stood only two years in
our neighborhood, as l remember; then
he was taken to his former place. do
not remember where-but it seems as
though it was near Jersey City, but am
not certain.
do not know anything as to the colt
sold to Cation.
The horse sold for $4,000. | raised
him and sold him as colt for $3.50 to A.
Ballard, Nominee. He is dead. He had
him eight or nine weeks and sold him for
$500 to man at Adrian, Mich. He
trained him and beat Dexter; the same
day sold him for the above amount and
he was taken from the track. His pedi-
gree was changed, but never made any
trouble. | went to see him in 1873, and,
when | found it universally said that he
was the best horse there ever was in
Michigan, said nothing; told only one
man when was there that | raised the
colt. am too old to call to mind these
things unless some one is talking to me
about them. Two years ago / was in
Vermont all summer. met III. Horton

you might find some old person in Paw

be able to give you all the information
you want about these old horses.

horse, as the mares from him are sought
after here. Two classes are sought after
very much, one by Morgan Rather, the
other by MacCracken's Black Hawk, AS

that trotted several races in the :4O's and
had some of his get trot close to 80 that

How the Governments Work Was Done
When Peter Force Began 1t.

Two thousand Ave hundred men and women
young, middle-aged and old-toil for Uncle
Samuel in the Government Printing Once. An
enormous building, remarkable alike for its
dimensions and its frailty, is devoted exclu-
sively to the work of printing for the uses Of
this government. What q contrast between
the Government Printing Office of today and
the little affair Congress depended upon in
1915. Peter Force told the story of the antique
in letter which he wrote regretting his ina
bility to be present at the celebration of the
fftieth anniversary of Columbia Typographical
Society, on January II. 1865. The letter reads:
''It may not be improper, however. to avail
myse elf of the opportunity thus afforded me to
speak OF the public printing in this city in the

the vessels with the entire outfit from New
York reached Georgetown until Wednesday,
the 29th Of November, but when Congress met
on the succeeding Monday, December 4. the
Office was in complete order and the printing
was commenced at once.
To look back to that timo II seems almost in
credible that, considering the vast establish

it could then have been accomplished BY one

will be informal, but the presence Of many Of
the leaders in the republican party will be
taken advantage Of, it is said, to review the
political situation. There seems to be an i'm
preston that the meeting may result in the
formulation of plan by which harmony can
be restored in the local ranks and an end put
to faction sighting until the republicans have
grown numerically strong enough to permit
them indulging in such an expensive luxury
without inviting political bankruptcy.
