the horseless age.
The Morgan stallion, Flying Star 1916
is pronounced the best representative liv-
ing of the old style Vermont Morgan that
gave the Morgan name a worldwide
fame and which embodied qualities which
the federal government is seeking to per-
petuate today through careful breeding.
Flying Star has beauty, style, conforma-
ton, hardness and nerve force In him
is combined the blood Of Justin Morgans
three most famous sons, Sherman, Wood
bury and Bulrush, and through them he
traces to Justin Morgan in over 80 lines,
making him a Morgan unexcelled in
breeding. Flying Star was foaled at
Maple Grove Farm in West Claremont,
N. H.. April a. 1899. His dam was by
Henry Dundas and combined the blood
of Black Hawk and Ethan Allen. Flying
Star is at the head of Morgan stud
owned by c. " Paddock, jr., of West
Claremont, N. H., and his owner within
two years has refused to part with him
for a cool $4,000. Mr. Pad1ocks string of
eight or ten Morgans included Morgan

Star. standing 1872 hands, weighing 1000,

has become one of the fixed and valued
features of the Valley Fair, furnishing
small horse show in itself. The veteran
Electmont was again at the head of the
stud and for the tenth consecutive time
was a blue ribbon winner. In all he has
taken about 40 such trophies winning
both individually and with his get. At
the New England fair in 1905 and 1906
with four of his get he beat al corners

some notable stations. Electmont has a
record of 2.22h, trial PIP and is sired by
Chimes, dam Cologne by Mambrino King.
Chimes is the sire of The Abbott 2.03h,

by Baron H, 2.19, he by Baron Wilkes.
This mare is the dam of two with fast
records The brood mare Annette had
by her side a colt sired by Electmont.
Annette is the dam of Dodle K, 213, the
only mare in the United States to win
five straight races in 1905, and other fast
ones, and is justly regarded as one of
the greatest brood mares of New Eng
land. There were some particularly
promising fllles sired by Electmont in
tn string. A black gelding sired by
Electmont has shown speed enough to
warrant the statement that he will beat
2.2O when given the chance. The black
stallion Electriole, sired by Electmont,
is a beautiful individual, and of a very
desirable type in getting gentlemen's road
horses.
