MORGAN BLOOD IN THE 2l5 LIST.
AN ADMIRER OF MORGAN BLOOD FINDS
INIT EiGHTY-FOUR 2:i5 HORSES.
From CIark's Horse Review.

From Clark's Horse Review.
In the list of :l5 trotters and PAGERS,
comprising 42j performers, eighty-f0ur
have Morgan blood, either through sire
or dam, grandsire or grandam. The
list below will be found correct up to
the close of 1893, and, as the breeding of
some of the new performers that have
gained admission to this list is not
known at present, it will no doubt be
materially increased in numbers when
the breeding of each new performer is
known. The figures following the
names of the performers signify the age
at which the record was made. Of
course, the number of heats placed to
the credit of each performer has been
greatly augmented the past season. 1t
will be seen that there Is Il strong pacing
tendency in the Morgan family, as wit
ness the performances of Saladin 2:053,

tasy 2:0S8, the fastest three-year-old

of whose dams were Morgan mares.
Saladin, the fastest PAGER, has for dam

handsomest horse | ever saw, and his
success in the stud is assured. He ais 0
holds the half-mie track record of 2:ll3,
made at Trenton, N. j., Oct. 6, 1892.
Outside of the two acknowledged
trotting families, Hambletonian and
Mambrno Chief, Morgan blood will be
oftener found in the pedigrees of the
great trotters and PAGERS than any other
trotting blood. 1t should be remember
ed that with the advent of Hambletonian
the Morgans have suffered an eclipse.
SO great was the popularity OF this
family that the Morgans were almost
entirely forgotten, only by a few breed
ers who knew them best and still con-
tinued to breed their favorte strain.
Had they been bred with the same eX-
press purpose and in the same numbers
as other families, the Morgans would
need no apologies as to their merits as
performers and speed producers.
Does any one doubt that the Morgan
blood that figures so conspicuously in
the dams of Rarus and Hopeful, the two
greatest trotters except one, taking TIE
number of heats in , 80 as the test,
helped them? Surely it did not detract
from their campaigning qualities. 1t is
as sires and dams of stout, handsome,
cheerful road horses that the Morgans
are especially noted. Horses with feet
and legs of iron, sound. hardy cOnstitu-
tions and useful to an age when their
fashionable competitors have long passed
their usefulness. Many breeders sub
ordinate everything to the sprinting
quality to such an extent that their rec
ord-breakers are usually poor roadsters
and campagne"s.
The old pacing war horse, Johnston
2 :064, whoat the age of seventeen and
at the close of 1892 had ninety eight win
ming heats to his credit, and has been
winning races in the free-for-alls the
past season, Is evidence that Morgan
blood is prime factor in this great and
lasting campaigner. Therefore breeders
using Morgan blood need not be deferred
by fear of its lack of campaigning
quality, while their chance of produc-
Ing handsome roadster will be thereby
greatly increased. MORGAN.

arrived at the same time from Pao-

clan to the Nez Perez for about nine
months. He is a young man not
yet out of his twenty's, and is en-
thusiastic over the possibilities of
the reservation when it is finally
opened for settlement.

Register Morris was up from
Lewiston in time to register and

that they have as yet received no

settlers, but that the bill specifies
that one half is to be paid in two
years, and the balance at the date
of making final proof.
Denver claims the distinction of
being the grain center of Camas

tenants on the Town Co.'S. farm,
has just finished threshing 1000
bushels of barley and 5000 bushels
of wheat. He has also stacked
about 1000 bushels of grain hay.
James Cross, who also has a part
of this farm leased, has threshed
over 5000 bushels ofgrain, making
total of $4,000 bushels of grain
raised ON the old Morris place this
year. The Brockman boys have
harvested 5000 bushels of barley
and $500 bushels of wheat on
their fathers place adjoining Den
