HOBklRkS SIR HENRY.

Editor Dunton's Spirit ofthe TurJ:-Can
you give me the complete pedigree of a
horse known by the several names of
Hobkirk's Sir Henry, Chase's Sir Henry,
and before this Cady's Sir Henry. Also
give me some particulars of his history.
j. O. n.
Ans.-The horse was a bright, beauti-
full bay or brown about l54 hands high,
foaled 1880, and was brought from Brat
tleboro, VT, by Mr.. James Biggarts, to
Kenosha, Wis. Wallace gives his breed
ing as follows: Sir Henry by Garrett
Horse by imp. Leondas; LIST dam by
Bishops Hambletonian; I'd dam a mare
imported by Capt McDaniels, of South
Carolina. This Sir Henry was the sire of
Biggart's Rather, who, in turn, sired Cali
fornia Rather. Sir Henry was sold to
Mr.. Cady of this city, who took the horse
to Milwaukee. He was afterward sold
to Mr.. IIobkirk, of Waupun, Wis, where
the horse died in 1854. While in Milwau-
kee Sir Henry sired the somewhat cele-
brated Mary Barden, who trotted trials in
2: 26, and obtained record of , :32, and
was the dam of Edna, who has a record
of y: ~. But before leaving Vermont Sill
Henry sired the noted horse Blggart's
Rather, the sire of California Rather
| The latter's owner at one time thought
no horse could come to California anC
beat him. And Nick Ehle of Kenosha
Wis, while in California some time about
1861, was offered 100000 to take horse
to the Pacific coast that could beat Cali
fornia Rather. Accordingly he came bach
to the States and made IA contract for tn,
the bargain, but Draco being down Soutl
at the time the war prevented the con
summation of the contract.

Dear Sir II owe you an apology for
not answering your letter last spring in
regard to sold Blood Chief" The letter
got misplaced among my papers and in
some way overlooked until on looking
over my papers was found and remem-
bercd. In regard to the old horses speed;
he was never handled strictly for speed;
was put in fine show shape nearly every
fall after IA full season; he never missed
making II full season from the time he
was three years old till he died. While
he had no fast record, he was able under
favorable circumstances to trot mile in
, 80 while in my stable. His 2 :35 mark
that some people speak of is no record,
as he did not make it in a regular race.
. 1t was for gentlemen's driving horses.
They gave him three heats without more
than ten minutes between heats, Blood
Chief winning the ribbon, trotting the
