1ippona, which took mark of ? 81 in
the = 80 class at eastern Maine fair of
1890, is a daughter of Gray Dan from a
Drew mare. This is the mare which the
"Great Compiler" persists year after year
in calling Hoppona. In Thompson's Vol.
ii of Noted Maine Horses, p. l67, we find
the name Lady Hippona claimed for a
gray mare by Gray Dan, the first part of
the name being dropped when she came
to be entered in races. She was evident
ly named for the psychological person
parsonage known as Hippona, goddess of
stables, a meaning or intention so obvi-
Gus that it is really wonderful it should
have escaped Mr.. Wallaces attention So
long.
The Drew horse lived to be twenty
four years of age, when, meeting with al
accident, he was destroyed. His oppor-
tunties were meagre as compared with
those enjoyed by our well-bred sires of
today, but he accomplished wonders
when we fully consider his chance. From
present indications there is no danger OF
the blood being lost, contained as it is il
many high class trotters.

in the stud, having come to this country
little too early. Frank died, | think,
about 1865.
He left some very fine stock, which was
valued very high, and their descendants

And if the man owned the horse now

never paid much attention to his horses,
as he used to exchange horses often.
Mr.. Kendall was a truthful man and one
could believe what he~aid. If | remem-
Der correctly Mr.. Kendall said he swap
ped and got the mare of Mr.. Whit
comb. He brought her into Strath-
bridge from somewhere in New IIamp
shire, think Nashua. Kendall snapped
her to Bundy for another horse. What
Bundy did with her never knew and no
one would ever inquire if she had not
brought Green Mountain Morgan into
the world. She was rather heavy built.

look of Morgan about her. | never heard
her mentioned IN connection with
Green Mountain Morgan until Mr. TIaE
bought him and was anxious to have a

In color are my Marie's eyes
Like sapphires in the night,
And in their joyous radiancies
Like diamonds in the light,
Her lips are dainty rubies twain.
Like cherubs of the spring;
My heart doth yearn to hear again
Her laugh of silvery ring;
Her ears unfold like coral sheaths
In tint, in curve, in curl,
Her speech perfume of amber breathes
And falls with gentle purl:
All! true thou art a jewel, love,
A masterpiece of old,
But better still than all above,
Her pa is eighteen karat gold.
