THE FIRST TROTTER.

The Gentleman From the Home of the
Horse Promulgates a Few Facts.
zone reason" remarked the colonel
to company of Interested listeners.
THAT we raise better horses i'm Kentucky
than are raised anywhere else on earth,
is that we not ouly have the water that
makes bone because of the lime that is
in it, and the finest grass in the world.
but we have all over the Blue Grass
region, where the great horses come
from, an elevation of thousand feet and
more above the sea, which gives Just the
right kind of air for horse to breathe
to become the right kind of a horse.
Did you ever hear of really great
horse bred and born at sea level?
And speaking of horses" continued
the colonel, show many of you know
when the first trotting horses-that's
the kind | take to market-made their
appearance in this country, or in any
country for that matter? OF course,
there have always been trotting horses,
for that is the animals natural gait. but
| mean trained trOtting horses. Well.
the father of trotting horses in the
United States, and generally. for the
trotting horse may be said to have
originated in the United States, was
Messenger, thoroughbred, imported
from England, in l7SS, at the age of
eight years. and for twenty years there
after at the stud in the neighbnrhood of
Philadelphia and New York. He was
gray horse, with a long pedigree, which
includes some of the best English strains
as well as Arabian, from which he
probably took his color. He had
numerous progeny by thoruughbreds
and cold .bloods, and almost Invariably
these latter produced horses which
showed the trotting instinct, and strange
ly. too. the sons of his thoroughbred
sons showed the same trotting quality.
1t took some time, however. for the
trotter to get of of the road, and divide
turf attraction with the thoroughbred.
but il was bound to come. and in the
year ISIS. ten years after Messengers
death, the first public trottng race of
which there is any record in the United
states took place, when the gray gelding
Boston Blue was matched to trot Il
mile IN three minutes, "a feat deemed at
that time TO be impossible All the
same, the gelding went the mile in less
than three. though what the figures were
nobody knows, as records were not kept
then. as they are nOw."-EXchange
