were late in arriving they formed one
of the principal features of the equine
department The veteran Gen. Gates
! who was shown here last year and at
Z tracted so much attention, led the
string. Age seemed to rest lightly on
! his sleek, well-turned shoulders, and
/ the quality of the youngsters who claim
Il him as a sire showed that he is still
! making Morgan history. Next to Gen.
Gates was Mr.. Battell's new stallion,
Gen. Montgomery, purchased last fall
oughly Morgan on the side of his sire,
Doodle, but his dam is a Wilkes mare
with three direct crosses to Goldsmith
Maid. He is bay and very snowy.

old stations, Plato, Victor and Ameri-
can, the two-year-old chestnut FLY,
Coming Beauty-true to her name.

Rocky Mountain and four-year-old
Ally by Moloch. With the Battell were
I two Morgans owned by Ex-Governor
Stewart Of Middlebury; yearling stall
lion and FLY, both by Gen. Gates.
Year after year the progeny of Elect
mont have shown the great speed-get-
ting qualities of this peerless standard
bred sire, but never was his ability as
Ia speed producer better illustrated than
in the string of youngsters shown by
4 the Connecticut River Stock farm of
Hatfield, Mass, this year. Old Elect
1 mont himself was here, looking as
lyoung as ever and as full of life. Then
There was brood mare, Annette, the
]dam of Dodie K, 2.13A, with an Elect
mont colt at her side; three-year-old
pacing colt, Albert, 2.26A, by Elect
mont out Of Annetta; yearling stall
! lion colt of the same breeding; three

Hcolt by Electrole-dam by Sherman
I Wilkes; a two-year-old chestnut FLY
Rby Electmont out of Daisy by Baron
] Brown, son of Baron Wilkes, this
Nfilly having gone a half in LOG. The
Remainder of the string was composed
Eof a yearling bay FLY by Electmont,
Edam by Sherman Wilkes; yearling
4 Electmont FLY whose dam is by Aller-
tton; and two road mares-Mima, 2.29A,

Acounty fair in Middlebury last year.
Beauty is by Thoughtful, grandson of
\ Daniel Lambert. He is dark chestnut
6with fine name and tail, well-turned
limbs and beautifully rounded hips. A
Spure- gated trotter with plenty of
astyle, he is altogether one of the best
of the Morgan alive.

3mont, N. H., had four Morgans on ex-
Exhibition: The four-year-old stallion,
Morgan limerick; the wo-year-old stall
|lion, Blaze; the two-year-old FLY, Re-
|bekah, and the yearling FLY, Stella.

Ito old Justin Morgan % times and is
probably the best representative OF the
Bold-style Morgan in the country. An
zoffer of $4,000 was refused for Flying

the eight-year-old Morgan stallion
REX, by Denning Allen, sire of Lord
|IClinton, 2.0SA. Rex s dam is a daugh-
Ser Of Daniel Lambert, and his quality

8he won the blue at Buffalo and the
red at st. Louis against all corners.
