Do you wonder that despair seizes

Doctors fail, standard remedies fail,

Skin diseases are most obstinate to
cure or even relieve.
1t is an easy matter to claim to cure
them, but quite another thing to
do so.

Because for years they have met

CANNON: BALL AND HIS PRO-
DlJCE.

Editor american Horse Breeder: |
have been a constant reader of your val
liable paper for about three years, and
have read with pleasure the discussion
of the breeding of some of the old-time
horses, especially that of Vermont Black
Hawk, | noticed in a recent issue that
there is still question about the breeding
of his dam. Now | have always been of
the opinion that she must have been a
daughter of a horse that was Imported
from England in 1926, called Cannon
Ball. He was a thoroughbred, imported
by the government of New Brunswick,
and he stood in that province for stock
purposes for two years when he was
taken to Nova Scotia, and | think the
year following he, with some more val,
liable stock, was burned.
BY the description you give of her, the
color and her appearance, it leads me to
think she must certainly be by Cannon
Ball. lie was a black horse, with a few
gray hairs mixed through his coat. His
stock never were distinguished as run
ners, but as roadsters they were not ex,
celled, they being very free, r%esolute
movers. His blood has as strong an
influence over the trotter as any horse
ever taken there, and his blood lines are
found in some of the good ones, such a;

compiler of the Register with that des-
cription must have had some other mare
In mind which they no doubt believed to
be the dam of Vermont Black Hawk, but
were deceived. Several years ago we
took a. trip to Portsmouth aud Green
land, n. H., in search of information
concerning Vermont Black Hawk, and
found two men who probably knew his
dam better than any other two men that
ever lived. They were with her nearly
every day for SOM eight or 10 years,
cared for her and drove her, knew her
color, size, gait and road qualities, and
all her peculiar characteristics.
One of these men was Wingate Twom-
bly,, a son of Ezekiel Twombly, whose
property Black Hawk was foaled. This
Wlngate Twombly lived with his father,
or made his fathers place his home some
time after he became of age. He was
quite advanced in years when we inter-
viewed him at Portsmouth, n. H., and
though his memory was somewhat de-
fective as to dates lin fact, we have
found many younger men of unques-
toned v%eracity who suffer from the same
complaint), he remembered the dam of
Vermont Black Hawk distinctly.
He stated emphatically that she was as
'black as a crow and that there were
no white hairs in her coat He said she
was a very cheerful roadster, and her
ears were always erect when she was in
harness. TO use his W words, ''she
always carried her ears up as straight as
sticks" and could pull a Concord wagon
with four men 10 miles in an hour,
through the mud, and scarcely puff. He
said she was IA square %trotter, never
paced a step.
The other party that We interviewed
was Mr.. Shadrack Seavy, a very intelli.

son GOD, his blood is found, as it is also
in many other good ones.
| well remember a mare my uncle
owned that was by Young Cannon Ball,
and to my way of thinking she was one
of the finest roadsters that was ever
hooked to "a wagon. Now, If there is
any way of tracing this out, think the
facts will be found as | have stated. |
have a pretty good idea of the early
horses that were owned in this locality,
and | think that if this matter is looked
up carefully it will be found that the
mare that produced SO great II son was
by no other sire than Cannon Ball.

THE DAM OF VERMONT BLACK
HAWK.

1t is not impossible that the dam of
Vermont Black Hawk was by the horse
Cannon Ball, as suggested by Mr.. lay
lor in his communication published in
another column, but Mr.. j.. ii. Reid of
Fredericton, n. b., probably one of the
best posted of the old-time hOrsemen of
that section, is confident that he mare
which brought Hills Black Hawk was
by a thoroughbred stallion called Capt.
Absolute, that was imported in 1924, and
stood for stock purposes IN st. John, N.
b., In 1925. This horse was sold in 1928,
as we are informed by Mr.. Reid, and
taken to New York.
If we remember correctly, Mr.. Reed
once Informed us that a Wlldair mare
produced a flly by Captain Absolute,
which when first broken did not take
kindly to harness, so she was put to work
In a double team, and finally found her
way to the States somewhere about 1881.
So many years have passed, however,
that it will now be impossible to ascer-
tain the facts in regard to the breeding
of the mare which produced that distin-
guished son of Sherman Morgan.
There has been considerable written
about the dam of Vermont Black Hawk
by parties who evidently never knew the
mare, and never got any facts concerning
her from parties who did know her. She
is described in the american Trotting
Register" Vol. VIII, page 1872, as "a
black or dark brown mare with white
hairs in her coat, traded for by Benjamin
Kelley of Durham, n. H., in the spring
of 1881" 1t is also stated that ''she was
then called a Narragansett and was
always so called afterwards" 1t is
further stated that ''she was a PAGER and
mixed gaited and fast for her day"
Now the parties who furnished the

SPENCER, Iowa, June 26, 1891.
JOSEPH BATTELL, ESQ,
Dear Sir Yours of the 18th addressed
to Horace Brown of Rockford, ILL.,,
reached me today. He, thinking that |
might know something about the mare
in question, sent it TO me-. | knew many
of the different horses owned and driven
by DR.. Knight, but this particular one, if
| ever knew, is at present gone from my
mind. | knew Barnard Morgan and per-
sonally knew some of his colts, and they
we're grand horses. There must be some
mistake about his only leaving two colts,
as | certainly have seen more than that
number claimed to be from him.
/ was born in Springfield in 1892 and
lived there more than 30 years and re-
member many of the old Morgans, es-
pecially Green Mountain (the Bethel or
Hale Horse, as he was sometimes called
and his sire. Clifford. | saw Clifford the
season that he died at Walpole, n. H.,
aged 80. | saw for the last time Green
Mountain at Charlestown, n. H., at the
age of p; he was then as active as a
colt and full of native fire.
| do not think that any Fairbanks kept
a livery at Springfield as late as 1916; if
so, by going there IN person and seeing
some of these men that Mr.. Brown has
referred you to, you ought to be able to
learn something about the matter.
Often three or four neighbors by put
ting their memories to work together will
produce facts as they existed years back
that ole alone would fail to make much
out of.
| am always willing to do all in my
power to help trace any of the old Morgan
family and have just driven a short dis
lance into the country to see NJ. A.
Chamberlain, an old Vermonter from
Lyndon, VT, who is 76 years old, but his
mind is as keen as ever and he Is one of the
smartest of old Yankees. My brother-in-
law (Mr. Brown said that you wished to
know something about Red Robin. Mr..
Chamberlain has often told me about
Robin said he was the most beautiful
and perfect built horse he ever knew and
was always said to be a son of Sherman,
and he was certain that he was.
Mr.. Brown also asks as to my knowl-
edge of the DR.. A. E. Knight horse of
Springfield. | remember him well; he
vas a typical Morgan; black, with a
small star, | think very active; a fine
driver, rather nervous and a ready and
very free driver. | knew many of his
colts and never knew one from whatever
dispositioned dam that did not have the
regular old Morgan fire and rapid action.
In the 70's | used to buy horses at Rock
ford, Ill. and ship to New York have ship
ped hundreds there and never had a horse
that showed the Morgan in looks and
, action that | could not sell to the first
customer at a good price. This man
Chamberlain remembers all about the
Crane Horse, the Knight Horse, Little
Billy and Red Robin-all owned at or
near Lyndon-and he always brags about
them. Should you ever wish TO learn
anything more from Mr.. Chamberlain or
myself, let me hear what it is and we will
do the best we can for you.
Respectfully yours,
