THE REMARKABLE GET OF AN EQUINE
OF PECULIAR PARENTAGE.
From Mirror and Farmer. !

From Mirror and Farmer.l
twenty-five and thirty years ago no
family was more highly priced in Maine
than was the race of horses which forms
the subject of the present sketch, and
while much of the matter is not orig
inal with me, we shall try to bring to-
gether facts, which will, by being
brought under one heading, cause the
thoughtful breeders of our State to look
with increased interest upon the descend
ants of the Drew horse yet left within
our limits. This was bay or brown
horse (Wallace calls him bay and others
brown bay foaled in 1912, and it is prob
ably not possible for one not familiar
with him to give pen-portrait which
shall do him justice even from the best
description which can now be given.
He was slightly above fifteen hands in
height and weighed about one thousand
pounds. The circumstance which led to
his advent was an accident, he being
what is usually termed a catch-colt. He
was fine in form and finish, according to
local historians, with good style and ac-
ton, though unframed TO trot. He is
described as having shoulders which were
extremely high, broad and deep, throat
well cut up with nice crest, face little
rounding (and this characteristic may be
observed IN some of his descendants even
at the present day, body small, hips
long, limbs large, a light name, tail in
waves, and fine coat of soft, short hair.
In regard to his breeding on the side of
his sire but little is known. \ three
year-old colt was brought from New
Brunswick to Maine by Mr.. a. G. Hunt,
who lived in Exeter, Me-, on farm adj
joining that where Hiram Drew, known
as the breeder of the Drew horse, resid-
ed. This colt was said to have been
brought to England in his dam and was
called thoroughbred, standing some
sixteen hands high. He was allowed the
run of pasture adjoining Mr.. Drew's
farm, and upon whose territory he was
several times found. Here he got with
the dam of the Drew horse, a l54 bay
mare foaled about 1896, and got by Sir
Henry, son of American Eclipse, which
was brought into Maine from Connecti-
cut, and the subject of our article was
