he said that when he began breeding
trotters he was in the ice and dairy bust

horses my business so engaged my atten-

that bred horses very much as a man

Very truly yours,
DON'T thinker" WITH THE
STANDARD.
From the Horseman.

Elsewhere we publish the standard as
at present in force and administered by
the American Trotting Register associa-
ton.
The standard was the idea of Lucas
Brodhead, the estimable and able mind
that has guided WOODBURY. farm to world
wide renown as nursery of trotters and
race-horses. Mr.. Brodhead early recog-
nized that there must be some standard
some qualification which horse must
reach in point of Inheritance to be eligi-
BILE to the stud-book Of trotting-bred hor-
ses. He saw that aristocracy in trotting
blood must be founded upon turf per-
Torrance, or the inheritance of perform
ing or producing blood, and he based his
rules upon the > 80 list. In many minds
the erroneous impression so sedulously
encouraged by j. II. Wallace that he
(Wallace) was the author of the standard
prevails. Mr.. Wallace was often apt and
cunning in appropriating the ideas of
others, and was never averse to taking
credit for what other men wrote that
seemed to be good So he seized upon
the Brodhead standard and had it. in a
disguised and somewhat amended form.
adopted by the National association of
Trotting-Horse breeders in 1879. 1t has
become in some quarters fashionable to
sheer at the standard, and there are
writers who seem to see in every Leon
ard Rose or McDoel that appears an alb
solutely conclusive argument that the
way to breed trotters does not lie in the
use of blood that has trotted that is fash
ionable and well bred. But no student
OF trotting breeding who is the possessor
OF well-regulated mind broad enough to
discriminate between good idea and the
Objectionable administration of it during
the Wallace regime will dispute the asser-
ton that the standard has been a great
educator and wisely directing factor in
forming new breed. 1t is no argument
against the standard that some men can
not choose between what is really good
trotting blood and what is simply stand
ard There are worthless thoroughbred
horses and worthless standard trotting-
bred horses, and there always will be I'M
less some teacher shall be sent who shall
read the laws of heridity with clearer Wis
Ion than has yet been youehsafed to men.
There is no stud-book, no herd-book. in
the world that does not record WORTHLESS s
animals of worthy blood, and no rules of
admission can be devised that will keep
out failures unless we come down to the
"bed rock" principle that blood shall
count for nothing, and honor come only
from performance. The standard. in
short, was not devised to and cannot sup
ply brainless men with brains and I'M
read men with intelligence.
In 1887 the standard was revised. its

QUERIES AND ANSWERS.
JOSEPH BATTELL,
MiddleburY, Vt.

DUNDEE, Ill.,, July %, 1891.
Mr.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sr:-Linsley, in his book, men
tions the Hebard Horse, foaled at
n. Royalton, VT, in 1927, sired by Wood
bury, no dam mentioned In pedigree
of Peters Morgan, the I'd dam was sired
by Gen. Hibbard, by Woodbury.. Mr.. c..
l.. Bristol, Robare, Mont, writes us he
has a letter from G. w. Bliss of Bethel,
VT, saying that Gen. Hubbard lived with
in forty rods of where he now lives, and
that he knew the horse well, and that the
dam of Gen. Hubbard was by Young Bull
rock, by Old Bullrock, :. t. b. by an import
ed English Horse, and that the dam of
Young Bulrock was by Justin Morgan
This would seem to indicate that there
were two horses, one called the Hebard in
Iinsley, and the other Gen. Hubbard,
raised within few miles of each other,
but at different dates. Can you tell us
whether this was the case or not, and, if
there was but one horse, which breeding
and which spelling is correct? Your
early reply will much oblge.
Very truly yours,
MORGAN HORSE Co.

General Knox; John Virgin, 30, and
Little Fred, 2:2G. Dirigo can Justly be
called prepotent sire, as three of his
four performers are out of mares which
are given in the Year Book as untraced.
Camors, :25l, is given as being out of
mare by French Tiger in Vol. H., ono
ted Maine Horses" which would make
that horse the sire of five dams of 2 80
performers, if true. Horace, his only
son to beget 2 80 trotter, is mentioned
later on, and his only producing daughter
is Fanny, the dam of the ill-starred gel
ding Pemberton, 2 :294. Pemberton was
horse of elegant appearance and an
ideal gentleman's driver.
\ great son of the Drew Horse was
Hiram Drew, 2:315, and his achieve
ments are not confined to the first genera
ton. He got Red Jacket, who has a
mark of 2;3l, while another which will
go down in the annals of equine history
as a great Maine brood mare is Lady
Bach, the Saavey mare, who produced
foals by General Knox, Gideon and Ham
bletonian 10. Beausire, her son by the
latter horse, sold for high price under
the hammer (S5l50) and now stands IN
New \ ork or a suburb, if we remember
correctly. He was in the stud at the
charmed circle by his three daughters.
Sadie s., Stella Blake and Sweetness.
while his son Pickpocket also has three
performers in the female line. the same
being Mamie W., , %; Pickpania, PA.
and Margaret NJ, three years. 2:2l5.
Hiram Drew is also the sire of the sensa-
tional four-year-old performer Margaret
=, 2:l2I. Here we find the blood of Gid
con in his most prepotent son combined
with that of the Pennington, Me-. one
season, and the foals which he got were
all nice ones. We recall several now
which are vastly higher in quality than
any horse which stood here for a long
time. Echo, by General Knox. out of
Lady Bach, gave public exhibition mile
IN 2:2G. General Sherman, by General
Knox; Violet and Pequawket, by Gid
con, were all fast and capable of doing
miles below the , 80 mark, which was a
rate of speed much more appreciated fiji
teen or twenty years ago than at the
present time. Pequawket is represented
in Drew family, and his blood is also
found in Gray Dan, , :3ld, whose dam
was by Dirigo, and is the sire of Cover
nor Plaisted, Maud l.. and Surprise, all
in the 30 list. 1t would seem from the
above that the little leaven of thorough.
bred blood possessed by the descendants
of the New Brunswick running-b bred colt
had leavened the lump of sluggish Mes.
senger blood possessed by the gray son
of Hambletonan.
The Drew Horse lived to be twenty.
four years of age, when, meeting with
an accident, he was destroyed. His op.
portunities were meagre as compared
with those enjoyed by our well-bred sires
of to-day, but he accomplished wonders
when we fully consider his chance.

belongs ETHAN ALLEN.

About twenty-five years ago a small
photograph was taken of the noted stall
lion belongs Ethan Allen. 1t shows
his well-rounded barrel, clothed with
powerful muscles, as we'll as his strong
shoulders, powerful loin and massive
unusual constitution and yigor.
These qualities he transmitted with uni
formity.
He was potent even in his thirty-second
year, but disease being then commune
Gated to him which did not yield to treat
ment. he was destroyed in 1890. His
record of , :43 was made at four years.
\ few days later he was tried in . $50.
Twenty-Five years ago these perfor-
mances were remarkable, and his farmer
owner, thinking the colt had gained suf-
ticient glory to command patronage in
the stud, retired him permanently from
the turf.
The fame of this son of the first Ethan
Allen ;255O mainly rests upon the
service and upon the value of his female
progeny as brood mares. The , 80 per-
formers sired by him are Lucca @ :294) g,
Belle ID. (pacer, 2;244) and Arthur
(2:2G!), the latter of which was undoubt-
eddy faster than his record. Lucca's dam
was by Thurston's Black Hawk, and Bell
DIS by the Rollin Birchard Horse. The
dam of Arthur was by Canada Grey
Eagle Q :2Gt to saddle, "a to harness,
and at same rate for two niles his
grandam was by Old St. Lawrence,
which was not only consistent perfor-
mer, with record of 2: 81, but the first
stallion in American to earn the fee of
$3.50 in the stud.
Those acquainted with the produce of
the belong Horse testify that very many
more were able to beat , 80, and it was
no doubt unfortunate for his fame that
he sired class of horse that were eager
ly bought by rich men, and by them
used as road-drivers and withheld from
the track.
They were found to be hardy, their
limbs and feet to be unusually lasting,
and they were generally stylish, beauti-
full and fast; just the horses, in fact, to
please the fancy of men who had the
means with which to crafty their tastes.
1t was happily written of a son of De
.-ong's Ethan Allen that he was one of
hose that "to look upon is festival, and
70 ride after is a liberal education" |
