A MORGAN STABLE.
w. E. WOoLLEY'S PRIVATE STABLE
OF HANDSOME COLTS.

in Their Cosy Hamilton street Quarters
Something Concerning the Pedigree
of Each.
Few people, aside from horsemen per-
haps. realize the number of stables of
fine horses quartered here throughout the
year. In fact Saratoga in winter Is al
most as much of a mecca for blooded
horses as in summer. They are, how
ever, private stables mostly of trotters
and coachers, and are owned by gentle
men to whom, so far as their own horses
are concerned, the paddock and track
have no attractions.
One of the promising stables of colts
and one which has been here for three
years, is owned by w. E. Woollev of
Buffalo, one of the proprietors of the
Grand Union hotel. Mr.. Woolley is as
conversant about horses as he is of the
hotel business and concerning the latter
he has mastered the Alpha and Omega.
The stable is on Hamilton street and
scarcely stones throw from Broadway
and yet hardly anyone in town knows of
its existence and of the eight handsome
MOrgans quartered there, some of which
nave over thirty crosses of old Justin
Morgan without an OutCross.
A few days ago Saratogian represent
alive visited the stable and spent an hour
looking over the handsome beasts. All
were quartered In large box stalls. in
'front.' OF which long wide alley gives
Daniel keehan, the trainer. plenty of
room to work out the equines In extreme
cold weather, while on warm DAYS thew
are allowed to run loose in the paddock.
occupying adjoining stalls were three
sisters, Janet, -" Hazel" and " Lorna 8"
The former, rich deep bay, is marked
by star and black points. She is seven
years OF age, stands fifteen hands and
weighs at present $40 pounds. She was
sired by Peters Ethan Allen I'd, son of
Peters Morgan by Peters Old Vermont:
dam by Edward Mackev horse. son of
old Flying Banner, by Hammet horse.
son of Black Hawk.
Hazel, six-year-old bay with black
points, the prototype of her sister
Janet Is exactly the same height and
weight.
" Lorna" the third of the sisters. is
also bay marked with star and dia-
mond on the tip of the nose and black
points. She is five years old and weighs
exactly five pounds more than her sisters.
Inc pedigree of Lorna and Hazel is the
same as Janet. The three horses were
shown together and while they were
frollcsome as kittens, their gentleness
was marked characteristic.
Wanda " and Sir Radge," brother
and sisters, were next shown. Both are
dark chestnuts, the former being marked
by a star and stripe. Wanda is five
years old, stands fifteen hands and
weighs $50 pounds. She was sired bv
Peters Ethan Allen I'd, son of Peters
Morgan. by Peters Vermont; first dam
by Taber horse; second dam by Billy
Root; third dam by Ethan Allen.
Sir Radge, who has the same ped.
gree as his sister, is four years old and
weighs 925 pounds at present but his
frame gives promise of filling out to the
plumpness of his sister in few months.
Doris" five-year-old chestnut with
a small star and faint stripe on her fore.
head and white left hand coronet as
distinguishing features was then brought
out for inspection. In every respect she
is handsome animal and that she is
closely bred to old Justin Morgan is
shown by pedigree. She was sired by
Ethan Allen I'd, Peters Morgan by Pet
ers Old Vermont; dam by Croker horse,
son of Freeman horse, by Hunters horse,
son of old Courier; second dam bv
Charlestown horse, son of Ethan Allen.
Dorothy" handsome four. year.old
bay, with small star and black points,
stands fifteen hands and has almost per
feet action. She is closely inbred to all
of the best strains of the Morgan horse,
having been sired by Peters Ethan Allen
I'd, Peters Morgan, by Peters Vermont;
first dam by Defiance, son of General
Lyon. Dorothy is the namesake of Dor
othy Garrans, the little daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. ii. NJ. Garrans of Buffalo.
The handsomest horse in the stable is
80. Marie" a seven year-old bay with
black points. She was sired by Young
Eastern Boy, son of Old Eastern Boy, by
General Knox. First dam by Peters
Morgan son of Old Vermont. The
breeding of second dam is untraced, but
is known to be a Morgan mare.
From the brief description given of
these promising colts it will be seen that
they trace directly back to all the best
defendants of Old Justin Morgan. Pet
ers Ethan Alien I'd is by Peters Morgan,
son of Old Vermont, Grandson of Green
Mountain Morgan, by Chords Morgan
Chords Morgan by Woodbury. Morgan,
son of Old Justin Morgan; Peters Ethan
Allen I'd, dam was by Ethen Allen. 1t
will also be noticed that there are several
crosses of Ethan Allen in the pedigree of
nearly all of these colts.
a more detailed pedigree of the colts
can be found in the second volume of
Battell's Register of Morgan horses soon
to be published.-Saratogian.
