Mr.. WALLACE APPRECIATES THE
MORGANS.

MORGANS.
In the last issue of Wallace's Monthly
appears the following editorial note at
the end of an article entitled "Honest
Advertising"
There never has been more valua-
BILE family than the Morgans for what
they could do. The difficulty has been
for years that their owners have repre-
scented them as a trotting family, and the
false expectations thus raised not being
realized, their owners have cast them of
in disgust. These false claims have
greatly injured the whole family in the
public estimation. When they are bred
and used in their proper sphere there is
no better tribe on the face of the earth.
We are glad that the Monthly begins
to see the error of its way. 1t will
doubtless make a further effort in this
direction and perhaps at some future
time may be led to perceive that the
family that has produced an inbred
member like H. b. Winship, ;06, that
has trotted mile two and half seconds

lived and another like Frank, whose
2 :OS4, made in race, is faster than the
fastest mile ever trotted by any member
of the so-called "trotting" families ;
perhaps the editor may be led to per-
ceive that this family might without i'm
propriety be represented as trotting
family" If he needs helpful sugges-
ton we could call his attention to the
fact that Justin Morgan was the first
horse that left three sons each of which
