OLD STUB.

CROW LAKE, S. D., August ., 1891.
JOSEPH BATTELL, ESQ,
Dear Sir :-Answering yours of the
Both ult., give you as near as | can re-
member pedigree of Old Stub, and think
| am correct. My recollection is she was
foaled about 1888, but perhaps later, the
property of Noah w. Porter of Ferris
burgh, who was my mothers father.
My father, Charles Needham, I'd, of Ad-
Olson, purchased her of grandfather
several years after and brought her to
DeKalb, Illinois, with him in 1854. Her
first foal that ! have any recollection of
was Jennie Lind by Black Hawk, about
80 or '53. Jennie Lind was the second
dam of Steve Whipple of Bellota, CAL,
raised and owned by my brother, Hon.
C. +. Needham of that place. Old Stub
Mountain Black Hawk (you have pedi-
gree, Young Justin Morgan full brother
of Green Mountain Black Hawk and
Pete Jones, the two last being taken to-
gether with Jennie Lind and Pocahon-
tas to California by my brother. Pete
Jones was known in California as Punch
and made quite record as twenty
mile horse. Old Stub died on our
fathers farm at DeKalb, H., at the age
of 80 years. She has trotted on the ice
on Lake Champlan three miles in ten
minutes, of course unframed, and used as
regular farm animal. She was con-
sidered worth too much as a farm worker
to breed from until she was quite aged.
She was a very fine styled sorrel-chest-

DElMARCH. 2:I2 IN A RACE.

Neither Nelson nor Allerton is entitled
to the first place among trotting stations
making their record in race. The bay
stallion Delmarch won in the 2 rs class
at Cambridge City, Ind, on the 26th ult
in field of five contestants, three
straight in 2:l64, 2:l4t, 2l2. The last
was the fastest heat ever trotted in a
race by a stallion, and the average of the
heats is also the fastest ever made by an
entire horse. The Western Sportsman
correspondent wrote:
"The unfinished 2:lS trot was first
called, and Delmarch was not long in
disposng of 1t. Dandy Jim again went
to the front, but did not keep it longer
than round the turn, when Delmarch i'm
medately went to the front, and increas-
ed his speed so that by the time he round
twenty yards on the lead, with Walter
+. on Il break When Doble reached the
one-hundred and fifty yards distance
stand he took the reins in one hand and
luTucu TOuuu 10 see WilaU llau become OF
his company. He then slowed up to keer
from shutting Walter +. out, and finished
the mile at "A 80 gait in , ~, the fastest
time in race for stallion, and the fast
est three heats, the average being :14t
The winner can beat the worlds record.
and Is the handsomest stallion alive to-
day. He can almost talk, and is as kline
and gentle as a child. His gait is per-
lection, and machine-like in its work
ings. His breeding is fine, and taking
him all round, he has no superior as {
trotter, or a model in FORM
Delmarch is by Hambrino, son of Ed
ward Everett by Hambletonian dan
dam of Wilkesbrino 2 :23) by Georg,
Wilkes; second dam said to be strictly
thoroughbred. Dam of IIambrino, Nam
brina, by Mambrino Chief; second dan
Susie, by imp. Margrave. Dam of Ed
ward Everett, Fanny, also said to be by
imp. Margrave. Through his seconC
dam Delmarch is said to have nea
crosses to the great race horses, Boston
and Grey Eagle. He is certainly wei
backed up by thoroughbred blood. Sine,
the above race he has reduced his recort
to 2:1l9 in contest against time.

The MORGAN REGISTER.

A Register intended to include all stations of
merit that trace in direct male line to Justin
Morgan and having at least one sixty fourth
OF his blood. All such stations tOaled in or
before 1850 are admitted free. fee of one
dollar is charged Tor registering each stallion
foaled.
Any animal in either of the following two
classes is eligible to registry in the Morgan
Register
/. Any meritorious stallion or mare that
traces in direct male line to the original JUS
tin Morgan Horse, and has ut least one sixty
fourth OF his blood.
g The produce of a sire and dam both
registered in the Morgan Register.
The first volume, the final sheets of which
are now being revised TOR the press,
will contain about four thousand pedigrees,
sketch OF the origin and history of the great
Morgan family, and much other new and orig
tnal matter. The book will be illustrated with
portraits of Morgan horses, and handsomely
and substantially bound. The price is not yet
fixed, put will be as 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 ascertained which is in doubt. Sources of
Information will be given in each pedigree so
that every reader can verify the work for
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, will be appended. Entries will be
received tor II short time further, and blanks
furnished on application. Address

THE TWO-YEAROlD TROTTING
STALLION MONBARS (2:IS).
From the Ann Arbor Breeder

From the Ann Arbor Breeder.
Some two years ago Mr.. George W.
Leavtt of this city, who was then at Lex
ington, KY, wrote us that he had found
the greatest trotting colt of his age he
ever saw. The colt was then some three
months old, and Mr.. L. could have bought
him for about Sl700. Mr.. Leavitt thought
the youngster cheap at that figure, but
had bought his limit, and as it seemed a
good while to wait for him to grow up,
he came away, much to his regret, with
out the colt, which is nov famous as the
champion two-year-old trotting stallion
of the world.
Monbars is standardized trotter.
He was bred by the propretors of FASH
ion Stud farm, Trenton, n. j.. who have
located branch of their breeding estab-
lishment in Lexington, Ky. The sire of
Monbars was Eagle Bird, which got
record of 2:2l as four-year-old, and
showed his ability to trot several seconds
faster than that. Eagle Bird was by
Jay Bird (2:3l4), son of George Wilkes
y :22). His dam was Tansey, the dam
of Butterfly (2:l94). Tansey was by
George Wilkes @ :22) dam, Dame Tan
sey (the dam of Busby, 2 POD, by Daniel
Lambert; second dam, the running mare
Charlotte, that Dan Mace drove double
with Ethan Allen @ :254). This running
mare was bred to Daniel Lambert on an
other occasion and produced Bay Star,
sire of the chestnut trottlng mare Amy
Lee (2:l74).
Most of the record-breakers, both pa
GERS and trotters, from Old Pocahontas
(2;l74) and Flora Temple (2:l9a) to
Johnston (2;0GD and Maud S. (2:Osa),
have been surprises, that is, they have
developed from animals which were not
thought to be phenomenal trotters when
young, and one of them, st. Julien
(21lD, which at one time shared the
crown with Maud S., was used for a
time on milk wagon. With Monbars
it is different He was a born trotter,
and showed wonderful speed when fol-
lowing his dam.
Jay Birds first and second dams were
both producers of ? 80 performers. His
dam, Lady Frank, was by North Star
Mambrino, which had a record himself
