Brown Chief at a sale of Richard John
son, Scott Co., Ky, January 2G, 1868.
have IA catalogue of a sale of horses
held by James B. Clay, Lexington, Ky,
Sept. II, 1857. In this catalogue is a
dark bay colt, foaled May, 1857, with
same pedigree as Brown Chief. have
no doubt this is the same colt that Mr..
Alexander subsequently bought at John
sons sale. This is the more probable
from the fact that II. NJ. johnson pur-
chased other stock at the same sale of
James b. Clay, among them, the dam of
Stevens Bald Chief.
James b. Clay, having been the owner
of Mambrino Chief, and having sold a
colt of same age as Brown Chief and
with pedigree identical with Brown
Chiefs, in all probability was the breeder
of Brown Chief. Still | do not personally
know that Clay did breed this horse, for
1t is possible that there were two differ
ent mares that were each by Bay Mes
senger and out of mares by Hunts
