Page $50 of Vol. II (Jan. s, 1910 is a
letter on "The Morgan Breed of Horses"
from Geo. Barnard, with remarks by the
editor, who says of IA Morgan horse he
had driven and ridden: ale was deep
blood bay, with no other white than
star, about - hands and an inch high;
his light, clean limbs and small. finty
hoofs would compare with those of many
high-bred cattle; his head was light and
well modelled, with superb eyes and
small, tapering ears, both set wide apart,
denoting high courage and the least
taste in lite of gentle blood; his fine
la nd thin a<,,ahaiya tril -hnnll
not be unnoticed; he was especially
roomy between the jowls, with a large
throttle, afiording free play to his
respiratory organs. One of his finest
points was his chest, which was deep
and capacious, as if modelled on that of
Eclipse; his broad, oblique shoulders,
too, rising high on the withers, with the
blades inclining well back in the way,
were calculated to give him that fine,
spirited action of his fore legs which has
been so remarked. A Morgan horse
strikes out boldly with his fore feet and
never stumbles or shuflles. His barrel
was of moderate length, but his long,
broad ribs extended back almost to his
stile like the engravings of the Kings
Plate horses of the last century; like
them. too, his back inclined to II roach,
with no more tuck in the flank or cutting
up in the waist than Shark or Gimcrack.
He had great width between the whale
bones or points of the hip, with arched
lions of singular strength, muscular
thighs and gaskins and broad, fiat hooks
In fact, without any remarkable display
of muscle or strength, his wiry, hardy
form was so perfectly proportional and
his propulsive powers so well placed and
balanced that he could sustain with I'M
fiinching spirit the most extraordinary
that he has ended Journeys in fine plight
after fatigues under which horses of less
stamina and thorough game have sunk ex-
hausted. The Morgan horse does not take
on fat; turn him out for season to grass,
or grain him highly 10 the stable, or keep
him well and work him hard, and no
difference is perceptible in him; he
always looks and is in condition"
Mr.. Barnard in his letter asks, "What
horse is the sire of the celebrated trotter
Edwin Forest: 1t was said he was got
by small Canadian sOrrel horse called
Tuscarora, owned in his old age by Gen.
Emory of Centervile, Eastern Shore,
