THE MORGAN REGISTER,

A Register intended to include all stations
OF merit that trace in direct line to Justin
Morgan and having at least one sixty-fourth
OF his blood. All such stations toaled in or
before 1880 are admitted tree. A fee of one
dollar is charged tor registering each stallion
foaled since 1850, and tor each mare whenever
foaled. All mares are eligible that have the
descent and Inheritance above prescribed tor
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, n
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 us low as 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, discrim
mating rigidly between what is known and
what is unknown and setting down nothing
as ascertaiued which is in doubt Sources OF
information will be given in each pedigree so
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, viii be appended. Entries will he

tell is especially well versed in Morgan
horse lore, and likewise believe that he
has devoted much of his time and no
small amount of money in the prosecu-
ton of his work, but for all this can
not conceive of any reason for his pub
fishing register devoted entirely to the
Morgan horse. viii Mr.. Bliss please be
kind enough to give us "A better reason
than that published in his letter to the
Sportsman for the necessity of such II
work.
The principal reason thus far given,
is that Mr.. Wallace will not receive the
pedigrees of horses containing the Nor
gan blood without good deal of kick
ing. Bliss does not not say so i'm that
many words, but his friend Mr.. Battell
has so stated it, and upon more than one
occasion at that. Now | know from
experience that Mr.. Wallace will receive
a pedigree of an animal containing any
amount of Morgan blood, and treat the
same considerably and Justly, if the

as America herself has been developed.

CHATHAM, n. Y, May !, 1888.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sr:-Iours making inquiry
about a Black Hawk stallion that
raised, called Gold Hunter, has been
forwarded to me. His dam was a small
gray mare owned by DR.. Needham of
Shoreham. | think he called her Post
Boy, and have heard that Post Boy
was owned by one Col. John Doolttle.
That is all know about the dam. In
Gle David Till of Bridport had her first
colt. lie was red roam and larger than
Gold Hunter. Hill sold him to some
western parties. Gold Hunter was a
dark roam. His colts were small, but
handsome. The class of mares he was
stnted to was rather inferior, his terms
being only $40. He died when about II
years old. All of my papers of that
date are in Vermont, so that | cannot
give you the year he was foaled or died.
The stallion that julius North had of
mine was North Star. Mr.. North sold
him to parties in Central New York
Gold Hunter he knew nothing about
Very truly yours,
