Crops in Johnston Badly Damaged by
the Hail.

We have heard a good deal said
about the hail of last Sunday. From
near PeacOck's Cross Roads it trav.
eled easterly. From the nelghbor-
hoods of Mr.. III. M. Johnson, Mr..
ID. j. Wood, near Zealand Freewill
Baptist Church, Mr.. W. N. Rose,
Mr.. d. H. Williams and BentonviIle
we hear of hail but only slight dam
age to crops. After it crossed Neuse
river in the eastern part of the
county it was very severe. Below
the Major W. A. Smith farm, in
some places, it is said to have ruined
the crops. The hail area was only
about mile wide. 1t fell about 10
o'clock. At four o'clock Mr.. J. M.
Oliver visited the hail-stricken sec
ton and he says that in some places
the hail drifted together by the wind
measured over foot deep when
he reached the place. Some tenants
were talking of quitting their crops
as they were SO badly damaged

blows which were inflicted with q
heavy, blunt weapon.

Kentucky and purchased by Mr.. Hughes
are incorrect.
The letter of Mr. Nichols, which we
had not seen until published recently in
the American Horse Breeder. is evident
ly correct SO far as it relates to facts of
which he had knowledge, but he prac-
tically admits that he had no knowledge
of the pedigree supposed that Mr.. Rork,
of whom he bought the colt would give
it to him, but afterward was unable to
get it from him, and thinks he refused to
give it because he sold the colt for less
than what he gave for it. Under such
admission, his added remark, that the
colt was by Whip from thoroughbred
mare is of little or no value. The pedi-
gree, too, being thoroughbred, would be
practically impossible for trotting horse
of great speed. His statement that the
colt was not related to the Canadian
horse Washtenaw Chief is also of little
or no value.
The further information is. that both
Messrs. Hughes and Aleck mot Samuel)
Gamble, who bought the horse, reputed
price $4,000, wrote to Ohio for the pedi-
gree and learned that the sire of the
horse was a Black Hawk, and presuma-
bly, that it was Washtenaw Chief, as that
quite unusual name was given to the colt.
To this is added the testimony of Otto
Holstejn, the most expert and reliable
pedigree seekers of his day, that the
horse was of Black Hawk origin; and
evidently Mr. Holstein supposed that
he was the original Washtenaw Chief by
Black Hawk.
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1907-11-08

In this he was unquestionably mis-
taken, but it was quite remarkable that
this stallion was in Kentucky several
years in the stud and certainly at about
if not at the time the colt was begotten,
and therefore, might well have been his
sire. Unfortunately we have no fully
reliable dates of what year Washtenaw
Chief, 3D., after wards called Niagara, was
foaled or what year Washtenaw Chief
went to Kentucky from Michigan Thus
far all the accurate dates we have are
that Mr.. Rork purchased the colt when
a yearing; that Mr.. Nichols afterwards
bought him, kept him about year and
sold him. Feb. 1861, to Messrs Hughes
and Lewis.
We are not able to give the dates when
Mr. Tracy's letter about this horse APP
peared in the Breeder and Sportsman.
1t was copied from that paper into the
horse department of the Middlebury,
VT, Register in 1889, unfortunately the
date it was written not being given. But
it would be possible 10 get those dates,
which might help some. Otto Hostein
died Feb. 1888.
AS the matter stands the claim that
this horse was by MambrinO Chief, is
entirely swept out. 1t would be an
almost incredible pedigree for the horse
which is described as very stylish, whilst
Mambrino Chief was remarkably coarse.
So that the only pedigree with any
authority is that his sire WAS Black
Hawk: dam thoroughbred. This pedi-
gree. which agrees with both the de-
scrption and character of the horse, is
handed down from those owning him
when young. who were written to for
information, could undoubt dly have got
it at the time. and either did get it or
made up from full cloth a pedigree that
would hardly have been thought of if it
was not founded on fact.

THE BREEDING OF NIAGARA.

Editor Breeder and Sportman-I have
been trying to trace the breeding of the
horse known by the name of Niagara,
and formerly known by the name of
"Washtenaw Chief" for the last six
years, and as it is uphill work for me
ask you to assist me by publishing this
letter in your valuable journal that some
of its readers may assist us. The horse,
| have been informed, was brought to
California by Thomas Hughes of Fresno,
but Mr.. Hughes does not know the
breeding of the horse. He got him in
Ohio, and he said that the horse came
from Kentucky to Ohio. Three years
ago | wrote to the late Otto Holstein
asking him if he could assist me in trac-
ing the breeding of Niagara, and his re-
ply was that he had tabulated pedi-
gree for "A gentleman living on this slope
of the horse Washtenaw Chief. The
horse is now dead, and great many of
our California turfmen know that he
produced speed; such noted ones as the
Croker mare, the Stark mare (knOwn
as Lady Hoag) and the brown gelding
Cobb, record 2:31, and very fast horse
now used in New York city the Croker
Mare.) Mr. o. A. Hickok and others
know well that she could trot close to
2:2O, and II my memory serves me right
timed the Stark Mare a mile in 2:22.
In one of our city daily papers, in 1877,
saw an account of her working very
fast at Sacramento and it also stated
that the late j. L. Eoff said that she was
the fastest nag that ne ever saw up to
that day. AS we have some of this
horses mares in this State, look at it as
the interest of all our breeders of Cali
fornia to know if possible the correct
breeding of this horse Niagara. formerly
Washtenaw Chief. Enclosed please find
letter received by me from Mr.. Holstein
in regard to tabulated pedigree for a
gentleman on this slope. as we may find
this gentleman and gain some informa-
ton to the correct breeding of the horse
Niagara, formerly Washtenaw Chief.
