the sons dam was by Liberty; second dam OF
of Smiths Young Columbus, by Arab, owned by
Harvey Yale, Middlebury, W.T. son of the Bing
ham Horse, by Young Dey of Alglers, son of
imported Dey of Algiers, Arabian; third dam
known as the Dart Mare, brought from Wind
sor county, Vermont. to Addison county, YER
mont, by Mr.. Dart, and said to be Morgan.
| would in connection with the transfer of
the sire OF the dam Of Smiths Young Column
bus from the Harris Horse to a son of Sir
Charles, suggest that with clean records the
name of Hills Sir Charles appears far more
in the pedigrees of noted horses bred in Yer.
mont than does that of the Harris Horse. In
Guided among these is not only Lou Dillon,
the first two minute trotter, but Major Delmar,
the second.
OF the other horses referred to, credited to
Harris Hamiltonian, are the dams Of the
trotters Sea Foam 2;24 }, Panic 2:2S, Nelly
Holcomb = ;2S and Annie y. ? :2S, the dams
of the sres of Major Edsall and Morse Horse,
and Gray Rose, the dam of Cuyler and Still
son. The dam of Sea Foam was brought to
Vermont from Boston; her pedigree never
was known. Panic | traced to his breeder in
northern New York. He was not got by
Sherman Black Hawk, as generally recorded
but by son of Hills Sir Charles, and his
breeder wrote me that they were never able to
trace the pedigree of the dam. SO, too, breeders
of dams of Annie G.. and Nelly lIolcomb are
entirely unknown and their breeding unknown,
although there was some reason to think that
the dam of Nelly Holcomb was by the Harris
Horse l have little accurate information
which makes it very certain that the dam of
Major Edsall was Morgan mare. | have re-
newed my efforts to trace this mare and am in
hopes of yet being able to learn her breeder
in Vermont.
Gray Rose, the dam of Cuyler and Stillson
was bred by Mr.. Brow, of Bristol, VT, and
foaled several years after the death Of the
Harris Horse, but was probably got by son
her dam Morgan mare brought from Fort
Ann, n. V, and thought to have been got by
Clifford Morgan when he was kept at For,
Ann.
| have breeder and breeding of the dam OF
the Morse Horse. She was not by the Har.
ris Horse. Wallace recorded her as got by
the Harris Horse and stated in his magazine
that she was got the year that Jack Williams
kept the Harris Horse. This was in IS46,
the last year of the horses life, and the only
year Jack Williams ever kept him. The horse
got that year thirteen colts, but the Morse
Horse was foaled dozen years before.
