IMPROVING THE BREED OF ROAD HORSES

IMPROVING THE BREED OF ROAD HORSES
BY LEGISLATION.
In the year 1I05 we have the Act
18th, Henry VII, c. IL, the first attempt
of the legislature to increase and i'm
prove the English breed of horses. We
may suppose that the Wars of the
Roses, which greatly reduced the popu-
lation of England and caused much land
to go out of cultivation. were the true
cause for the neglect of horse breeding
and for the degeneracy which the pre-
ambe of the Act admits, though an al
together different reason is assigned:
In the year l530-l, there is Il further
Act, 22d, Henry VIII, C. Z, strengthen
ing the Act of 1895 by increasing the
penalty to 4os. per spoil" for removing
out of the realm any "horses, geldynges,
mares, colts, oxen, stores, bullocks,
calves. kyne, or shepe,n without the
Kings special license given under his
Great Seal of England.
The next Act, that of the year 1910.
32d Henry VIII, C. 10, For bryde OF
Horses" seems to have been passed by
the House of Lords, with great enthusi-
asm, The entry in the journals under
date June 10, 1910, translated, reads
thus: At length the bill is read this day
for encouraging the breed of horses of a
larger stature, and dispatched with uni
nous consent, and without dissentent
voice.
The only other remaining Act OF
Henry Wills reign-whlch continued
till the Dist, James l., 1924, and was
then repealed, with many other Acts,
which we may suppose had fallen into
disuse-was that of 33d Henry Will, C.
CA. d. l542). 1t is of great interest,
because it shows how greatly trotting
horses had become to be valued.
This singular old act was drawn SO
precisely that it would seem impossible
to escape its penalties, a proviso being
made to meet even such case as lady
wearing velvet, in the lining or any part
| of her gown other than the cuffs, or in
her kyrtel; or her wearing any petit
coat of silk; her husband being. there
upon, obliged to find and maintain one
stoned trotting horse. The last clause
is, however, the most valuable, because
it plainly distinguishes the trottine
horse of that day from the cart horse
and the sumpter horse, from one Of
which varieties some modern authorize:
have supposed the English Hackney OF
roadster to have been descended.

WHEREIrC CONES FROM.

we regret we nave not the space TO re-
publish a column article from the pen of
L. c. Underhill on "Mixed Bred Trotters
and PAGERS" In it the writer clearly
shows, as we have often endeavOred to
do in this department, that pacing an
cestry is what makes the so-called trot-
ting bred PAGER pace. In showing up
the large amount of pacing blood in
Robert j.. Joe Patchen, John II. Gentry
and Rubenstein, Mr. Underhil adds:
The fact that the sires of any or all of the
four PAGERS mentioned above have sired
trotters or even never sired another pac-
er has no bearing as to the purity of the
trotting blood. If "A pacing cross has
been bred at any time on either side of
the pedigree the purity as regards gait
is destroyed. For myself | do not be-
lieve that it Is possible to breed a PAGER
without a pacing strain or cross in at
least one parent. The breeder of Robert
J. has said that the foal never trotted
a step when young. That alone is suf-
| icient to show that the pacing gait was
| inherited.
After showing the pacing blood in
Robert j., John X. Gentry and Ruben
stein, he adds:
One has not far to seek for the pacing
proclivlty in Joe Patchen. His sire,
| Patchen Wilkes, , :299, can pace as ma
turally as he can trOt, and why should
he not? He is full of pacing blood ON
Doth sides. His sire, George Wilkes,
could pace as fast as he could trot, and
he must have inherited strong pacing pro-
clivities from his dam, for we know he in
herited no pacing tendency from Ham
bletonian. Experience has shown that
the get of George Wilkes is almost as IL
able to pace as to trot. When, in adj
dition, "A pacing cross was in the pedi-
gree of mare bred to George Wilkes
the produce was almost sure to pace.
As Mambrino Patchen inherited pacing
cross from his grandam, whenever the
blood of George Wilkes and Mambrlno
Patchen was wanted, the result was al
most certain to be miXed-gaited produce.
Patchen Wilkes had for dam an inbred
MambrinO mare, so that the pacing pro
clivty was intensified in him. Joe Pat
chen also inherts remote pacing crosses
through the pedigree of his dam, by Joe
Young, :l91, and of course every pacing
cross added intensifies the instinct.
1t would be freak of nature if horses
bred like Happy Medium, Nutwood , :lSf,
Onward, Psi, Pilot Medium, Strathmore
and many other prominent sires with pac-
ing crosses, did not sire PAGERS or add Il
pacing tendency with their blood TO any
pedigree. Happy Medium was out of Il
mare that paced naturally. Nutwood
traces in direct line to Pacing Pilot
The grandam of Onward, , :25t, Direct
tor, , IL, and Thorndale, , :22i, was a
PAGER, sired by a PAGER. Pilot Medium
gets pacing tendency from his sire. and
his dam was daughter of the half pac-
Ing-bred Pilot j. Strathmore PAGES ma
turally, and so did many of his ances
tors.
But why continue the list? The so
called trotting stud book is full of like
instances. and pacing crosses are being
constantly added. In the face of al
these facts. is it not farce to refer tC
such pedigrees as being trotting-bred, OF
to call the PAGERS resulting from such
pedigrees trotting-bred pacers:- Horse

ASTORY OF HONEST ALLEN.
TFrom American Sportsman.


Dave Mucllle tells a good story about
the race that Honest Allen and run
ming mate won at Prospect Park, L. l.,
In the fall of 1870. \ match was ar
ranged between the Morgan stallion and
Goldsmith Maid and running mate, the
amount being $500. Up to the day of
the race w. l.. Simmons had given or
ders that Honest Allen was to be
worked out with an old brown gelding
called Jim. He could not pull them bet
ter than 2:25 to save his life. The
Dobe family was correspondingly hap
ply, as it knew that Goldsmith Maid and
her mate could step three times better
than 2 20 if necessary. The night be-
fore the race Dave Muckle drove over
from New York behind white-fOOted
gelding that could run some. He had
driven him a mile to a wagon that year
in 2:02. Under the cover of night Dave
slipped this horse into stall, locked the
door and walked off with the key in his
pocket. The next afternoon, when the
bell rang, Honest Allen popped out with
the white footed geldlng for partner.
There was some looking when he came
down in front of the stand, but the
smiles of the Goldsmith Maid party had
fled when Honest Allen marched off his
three miles in 2:lS4, 2:l74 and 2:2l4.
The Simmons family got all the money.
Dave Muckle says that Honest Allen
was much faster horse than Ethan
Allen, although he never got mark
better than 2:30. Hooked with rum
ming mate one morning Dan Mace drove
him mile in 2:l4. At the time Mace
had both Ethan Allen and Honest Allen
in his stable, but as soon as u. f. Sim
mons heard of the trial he transferred
the horses to another trainer.
