THE VERMONT EXHIBIT
OF MORGANs AT THE WORLDS FAIR,
NLINANn

We are informed by Mr.. Harry r.
the committee on selection of Morgan
horses at the Worlds Fair, who called at
our Office last week after a trip of in
spection over the State, that there will
quota spoken of-tifty horses. We I'M
derstand that the stations Gilig and
Mack will be among the number to be
sh own, and also worthy descendant OF
the Green Mountains, owned in the east
ern part of the State. There will be
several other stations and the rest of
the exhibit will consist of mares and
colts, with perhaps one or more fine
Morgan pairs.
We are glad to see by the following
notice, which we take from the Rutland
Herald, that our friends at the West are
also moving in this matter and that the
great State of Illinois will be properly
represented in this department. We
shall hope also to see at Chicago proper
representatives of the great Golddust
family and of that excellent Michigan
stallion Royal Fearnaught, as well as
Royal Fearnaught himself. We shall
hope also to see the beautiful stallion
Allen, owned by c. X. Larrabee, Fair
haven, WASH, and kept at Home Park,
Mont. We are happy to say, too, that
we have received information of several
other representative Morgans that will
be shown:

THE YEARLlNGS OF 'e2.
WONDERFUL INCREASE IN THE NUMBER
OE IMMATURE IROTIERS.


OF IMMATURE TROTTERS.
The gain in trotting speed is in no way
more clearly made apparent than in the
increase in the number of immature trot-
ters-animals of three years and under
that yearly enter the 80 list. With the
increase of breeding and campaigning,
and the greater system and accuracy of
the trotting records, more and more at
tention was paid to this method of esti-
mating the worth of blood lines, and
champion youngsters were made the
standard-bearers of the farms where they
were bred, as well as of the families
from whence they sprang. Nearly two
decades have passed, says The Horse
mi IN, since the first three-year-old en-
tie led the list, and in the twelve years
that have elapsed since two-year-old
yeetheart trotted in :26I at Sacrament
to two and three-year-olds with speed
enough to take mark well down toward
the twenties have become quite common.
In this desire for early speed even the
yearlings have not been overlooked, and
two years ago the first yearlng trotter
entered the list in Freedom, a son of Sa-
BILE Wilkes, who made a mark of = :29f
at Napa, CAL, Oct. Is, 1890.
Last year there were five additions to
the baby = 80 list, two of them being
PAGERS, and the champion trotting mark
for the age was placed at 2:254 by Frou-
Frou, a daughter of Sidney, while Rollo,
by jerome Eddy, paced in PSI, which
was afterward reduced to 2:22f, by
Fausta, by Sidney, which gave the fast
est records at both gaits to the get of
Valensin farms great young sire.
This year three trotters and two pa
GERS have also made records below 2 30,
but we have seen no youngster approch
Frou-Frou's mark of :251. though Belle
Actions pacing record of 2:2l! is some
)ints better than Fausta's :22f. But
as a few weeks make considerable diff.
ference in yearing, and as the cham
pions of the age generally hail from
California, where trotting will continue
for some time, it is likely that the clos
ing months of the year will see some
others beat 2: 80, and baby may ap
pear who is able to reduce the champion
mark for the age. At this time a glance
at the breeding of these precocioul
youngsters may be of interest.
The pedigree of Leone, the first of the
trotting yearlings to make her mark
as well as the fastest of the three, is herr
given:

THE MORGANS AT CHICAGO.

HOW OUGHT THE AWARDS TO BE MADEp
~ suppose you have been consulted as
to how the awards for Morgans at the
Columbian Exposition should he made.
Will deep. blooded, typical Morgans be
awards be made with special reference
to speed?'
We have not been consulted on this
point, but certainly should not expect
the awards to be made on the basis of
speed alone, by any means = we should
expect the first prize to be given to him
who exhibits the animal best realizing
the ideal for which the breeders of Nor
gans are striving; such an animal as the
most intelligent of such breeders have
in mind for type. We should certainly
expect this animal to lave compactness
of form, pride of carriage, dOcility of
temper and intelligence of mind; he
should also have a fine thin ear, full
bright and pleasant eye, a wide forehead 4;
small lean head, tapering to the muzzle
thin, elastic nostril of large capacity
firm mouth limbs not too long, but very
strong and symmetrical; deep chest,
round barrel, sloping shoulder, short
back, long hip; full, flowing name and
tail, fine, lustrous coat and perfect feet.
He should be an animal of distinguished
beauty, and should have the nerve force
and courage that would keep him up to
a rapid road gait for long distances with a
considerable load behind him. He should
be easily controlled both by rein and
voice, but should respond with resolu-
ton to slight suggestion of his driver
that more speed was In order. With
these characteristics that mark the Nor
gan horse, the more speed he had at a
pure gait the better. But as between the
two, he should rather have the capacity to
to do rapid road work for long distance
than the ability to trot very fast mile
and repeat it two, three or four times
In other words, he should be Morgan
horse.

Nellie A., is great-bred one, and she
is pretty closely inbred, her sire and
grandam both being by George Wilkes,
while her sire, Wilkes Boy, is out of
Betty Brown, and Betty Brown is also
her fourth dam. Her pedigree is rich in
developed speed, as both her sire and
dam have records. that of the latter
made this year and the sires of her dam
and second dam are also record horses.
Nellie A. made her record Oct. II, at
Nashville, Tenn, in race.

GEN. STARK, TURK AND THE
STlCkNEY HORSE.
CORNISH, Me-, Dec. s, 1892.

NOhNlSIt, ME-, DtCs o, lCJSs
MR.. JOSEPH BATTELL,
Dear Sir MIR. Peleg |. Wadsworth
of So. Hiram, Me-, has passed to me for
reply letter written by yourself, dated
Mddlebury, VT, Oct. lG, 1892, asking for
information about the stations Gen.
Stark, Turk and the Stickney Horse.
The Stickney Horse know but little
about. He was the reputed sire of the
great-grandam of Hiram Knox and was
probably owned by Mr.. Samuel Stick
ney, then of Brownfield, Oxford Co.,
Me-, or by brother of Samuel, who
lived somewhere in the State of Vermont
and was wont to visit his brother Sam
uel in Brownfeld. Mr.. VIM. Stickney,
Brownfield, Me-, may be able to give
you some information about this horse.
William is son of Samuel.
Some 80 or more years ago-I was
then a small boy, but remember it we'll
a white stallion from Vermont, said to
be by Sherman Morgan and called Turk,
was Travelled during one stud season
through the town of Hiram and adjoin-
ing towns. The horse was hitched to a
pair of forward wagon wheels and was
driven by man with a heavy grey
beard, whose name, as | remember, was
Whitmore or something like it. Turk
proved very insure stock-getter and
sired but three colts that season-one in
Hiram, the Wadsworth mare out of the
mare by the Stickney Horse one in Par
sonsfield, and one in Lexington, all of
which were extra good ones. A curious
circumstances in regard to this horse
Turk was that his service fees were new
er collected nor called for, and the rea-
son assigned therefor was that in set
Whitmore in fit of passion destroyed
the service books-burned them-so
went the story and such was probably
true.
About 1859 |, the writer of this, farmed
of Peleg C. Wadsworth, father of Peleg
|. Wadsworth, this daughter of Turk,
paying $40 for her use, and bred her to
I
G IN. Stark, then kept at Hopkinton. n.
IL. The produce was a chestnut filly.
This filly weaned when ten weeks old
and returned the mare to Hopkinton and
bred her to True Blood, full brother
to Gen. Stark and year older. The
mare died that fall in foal. After the
death of the Turk mare the Gen. Stark
filly was the only descendant in the fe-
male line of these Wadsworth mares,
ami Mr.. p. C. Wadsworth bought her of
me. After the death of T.. g. his son,
Peleg L., bred her to Coupon, 1873, and
the produce was the stallion Hiram
Knox.
do not know as have written the
above so that you can understand it.
The full pedigree of Gen. Stark and his
brother, True Blood, may be found in
the columns of the Boston Cultivator of,
! say, 1856, or near that year. The dam

LEONE, 2S1a.

Leone is chestnut filly by Lancelot,
the son of Messenger DurOc and Green
Mountain Maid, who took a record of
2:2ia this year. Her first start this year
was atsChillicothe, o., where or Oct. 4
she won race from the colt Conforma-
ton in :35t, the fastest heat ever trot-
ted in yearling race east of California
up to that time. Two days later she was
started against time and trotted in 2:3O,
which she afterward reduced to , :2S! in
the second heat of winning race at
Mexico, Mo. She is a game, consistent
little filly, and with the wealth of blood
lines in her pedigree gives promise OF
continuing star of the trotting track.
