The Fallacy of Pedigrees.
National iSfOcb,Jn1l

The death of Linden Tree, the Arabian stall
lion presented 10 General Grant in 1878 by the
Sultan of Turkey, has brought out anumber of
stories about Arabian horses and the length of
their pedigrees. One is to the effect that Lin
den Trees pedigree was on record for "only
800 years, but his ancestry extended back to
Solomon's time" All of which isrot. Meth
er Linden Tree nor any other stallion has re-
corded pedigree 800 years old, and as to Solo,
mons era it is quite possible that many east.
ern horses trace to that time, but the fact and
the generations that intervene are not matters
of record, but mere tradition. The thorough
bred has the Oldest recorded pedigree, about
200 years, and he came from the horse of the
desert and surpasses his remote ancestors in
speed. endurance. size and prohahlv everything
save disposition. Arabian pedigree stories, like
most other Arabian horse yarns, are myths.
