DENNING ALLEN.
SIRE OF LORD CLINTON, RACE RECORD
2:lO Ia.

2:lo Ia.
Denning Allen arrived at Middlebury
on the 18th inst, and was Immediately
taken to his new home at the Bread Loaf
Farm, two miles down the river from the
village. Although he had been full
week on the cars, he came in full of life
and play, looking like a young race
horse Since his arrival he has been
visited by many of the local horsemen,
and by several from other towns within
and without the Estate. 1t is too little
to say that he has been the center of adj
miratlOn from ali corners. No one eX-
pected to find such an example OF the
highest equine beauty, combined har-
moniously with the nOblest exhibition
of strength and substance. Old admirers
of Ethan Allen see in Denning Allen
faithful copy of his handsome grandsire,
with increased size, more substantial
limbs, darker bay color, and less abund-
ant name and tail. In carriage, contour,
marks and disposition, he is very close
counterpart of Ethan Allen, the eagle
of our hills.
Denning Allen is very dark bay
horse, with two white hind ankles, one
fore foot white and a touch of white on
the other, with small star and snip; he
stands full l51 hands and weighs 1850
pounds. He was foaled in 1874; bred by
: |. B. Bowman of Lexington, Ky, and
got by Honest Allen, son of Ethan AL
len. His dam was Rena, by Wards
Flying Cloud, son of Vermont Black
registered in the American Trotting
Register as by the Brooks Horse, son of
Sherman Morgan. The dam of Wards
Flying Cloud was by the Iackett Horse,
Morgan.
Thus, without considering remoter
crosses, it appears that Denning Allen is
, among the strongest inbred Morgans
r Morgan breeding, matched with his
; noble individuality and his success as a
cire, that induced Mr.. Battell to pur.
| chase him in Little Rock, Arkansas, and
cestors to lay anew the foundation of a
] future race of Morgans, with all the
= beauty, pride and intelligence of those
of the Olden time, but with increased
, size, and the power to attain the highest
trotting speed.
Denning Allen has been KEEP in re.
; gion of no trotting bred animals, and
has done little service in the stud, being
used largely as driving horse. lie got

, Lord Clinton, at the end of last season
had list of 81 trOtting victories to his
; credit, 60 heats in 80 and better, and a

McALLlsrER ON cREsrs.
The Champion American Ass F..yors tn,
Idea ola Yankee IIcrald.s ONCE.

New York Herald: II propose
said Ward McAllistcr, "that the
American hcrald's office should be es-
tablished as one of the departments
of the federal government at Wash
iugton. This is very practical sug-
gestion. The government would he
able to put tlNon armorial bearings
and in that way raisea large revenue,
as the English government does. 1t
is one of the lappiest ways of raising
Il tax i can think of. Members of
fashionable society and all the other
persons taxed would be pleased by it,
and no one, think, can show any
good reason against it.
81 know it is easy for you to assert
that Americans have no business with
coats of arms and such things because
they are relics of fcudalism. but that
is nonsense. They are not any more
harmful relies of feudalism than
many of our social customs. Fashion
requires lis to use them, and fashion
must be obeyed. 1t is merely a mat
ter of fashion. A man with a coat of
arms is not likely to be more dam
gerous plutocrat than a rich one with
out one. Besides, armorial bearings
are ornamental and look we'll on sill
yer and china. That is one of the
hest reasons for havintr t1nm r
must say few words as to who has a
right to use them. 1t is not neces-
sary that family should obtain
them by a grant from the English or
some other European king. 1t is
enough if they have been used since
the beginning of this country's his
tory, or for three generations. In
England any respectable person not in
retail trade can get coat of arms by
paying tor it,"
