Dark sorrel, or chestnut gelding, with white stripe in face and white hind feet, about 15 hands high, foaled in 1830, bred by a Mr. Libby, of Farmington, Me., got by Winthrop Messenger. Dam, a roan mare, brought from Westbrook by Mr. Libby; her pedigree was unknown, but her appearance indicated good breeding. Mr. Libby sold the colt, when one year old, to Mr. Gleason, and he to Jonathan Perkins, also of Farmington. In March, 1834, Perkins sold him to Charles Simonds, of Maiden, Mass., for S125. Simonds sold him to a butcher in Charlestown, where Mr. Oliver Walton saw him and bought him and took him to ISTew York. In 1837, Oct. 5, over the Centreville course, he beat Rattler, under the saddle, three-mile heats, in 7.59 — 8.09, which was the greatest time as yet recorded. In May, 1838, on the Hunting Park Course, Philadelphia, he trotted a race of three-mile heats against jN'ed Forrest, for $5000 a side^ to go as they pleased. Daniel D. won the first heat in such style that Gen. Cadwallader, who owned Ked For- rest, sold out his chance in the race for $500. Anderson and Splcer, of New York, bought it, and put Forrest in harness, but Daniel D. won it without anv trouble. Time of first heat, 8.07; second heat, Forrest distanced, first two two miles done in 5.30. After winning the race, Tompkins challenged any horse in the world to trot him three-mile heats, over the Hunting Park Course, at Philadelphia, for the sum of $1,000, without finding a taker. Mr. Woodruff, in his " Trotting Horse of America," says of Daniel D. Tomp- kins, that " he was a good little horse with pluck enough for the biggest that ever trotted." He was afterwards owned by Mr. William Fetterall, of Philadelphia. IIESSEXGER STOCK. 39 He had a fine full eye, was lov/ over the withers, with an oblique shoulder, and fine back and muscles. Sorrel mare, 15| hands high, and weighed 1.000 pounds, foaled about 1825, bred by Sullivan Pullen, of Anson, Me., got by Winthrop Messenger, dam, a bay mare, pedigree unknown. Mr. Pullen sold her, when seven or eight years old, to H. Stone, who then kept the Somerset Hotel at Anson. He sold her, shortly after- wards, to John Swan^ of Anson, who trained her a few months and took her to Boston, in 1832 or '33, and sold her to a Mr. Lull, for S300. She remained in Boston one season, and trotted a number of races on the Ded- ham turnpike against a pacer and a trotting mare called Blinker. She was then taken to 'New York. " In 1835," — see the Horse of America by Frank Forrester, vol. ii., page 158, — " the sport of trotting became more and more popular, and there was a scarce a gentleman in ^N'ew York who did not own and drive one or two fast horses. Among the patrons of this noble sport, then in its infan- cy, I can name now Mr. Coster, with Fanny Pullen, the mother of the incomparable Trustee." In 1836 Harry Jones had Fanny Pullen, and she was entered in a sweepstakes race, two-mile heats in harness, over the Centreville Course, against Dutchman and Confidence, for SIOOO. The betting ran very high on the race. Dutchman won it in two heats, and Fanny, second; time 5.17^ — 5.18-|-. The first heat was the fastest two miles that had been made in harness. This closed her public iDerformances. She was subse- quently purchased by Mr. James Bridges, and bred to Imported Trustee. 40 NOTED MAINE HOIiSES. Pier first colt, called by Frank Forrester the " incom- parable Trustee," and widely known as Trustee, the twenty-miler, was the first horse to trot twenty miles in- side an hour, which he accomplished in '59, 35^. The race against time took place over the Union Course, Long Island, on Friday, Oct. 20, 1848, and Trustee won for himself imperishable renown as a trotting-horse, and accomplished at his own gait what it is not, by any means, every thoroughbred hunter that can perform at a gallop." " An hour after the match," says the edi- tor of the Spirit of the Times, " we visited Trustee in his stable; he exhibited no distress, and on the following day was as fine as silk. We have seen him half a dozen times since, and he never looked or trotted better. He is a prodigy, but blood will tell." Mr. Bridges bred another colt out of Faniiy Pullen, by Imported Trustee, an own brother to the twenty-miler. This colt was the sire of the dam of the renowned George M. Patchen, and was himself a fast and stout trotter. He was gelded young, and was driven for many years by a gentleman in "Westchester county. In 1839, Fanny Pullen was purchased of Mr. Bridges, and taken to Boston, by Mr. Spencer J. Yinal, of that city. She was at that time about 15 years old. Mr. Yinal kept her" several years, and finally had her killed, and dumped off Commercial Wharf into the dock. Dr. Woods, the veterinary surgeon, preserved one of her fore-legs. Fanny Pullen was a pale sorrel, with a coarse hip, low over the withers, and trotted down-headed. Under the saddle was her place to trot fast. In looking over the history of Fanny Pullen. I find I have omitted two races in which she was engaged. They are as follows : August 20, 1835, at Harlem , 2^. Y. , she won MESSEKGEn STOCK. 41 a race, beating Craz}^ Jane and Snowball. Time, 2.44, 2.36, 2.33, 2.35. Crazy Jane winning tlie third heat. Oct. 15, following, at the same place, she beat Crazy Jane and Fire King, in 2.33, 2.37, 2.40. While Fanny Fallen was owned in Anson, Mr. Pullen raised three colts from her. The first resembled his dam in color and general appearance. After having several different owners, Mr. Swan trained him awhile and took him to Mass., and sold him about the time he did his dam. Her second colt was a sorrel, with a white stripe in the face. He too was sold j^oung, and taken out of the State. Her third colt was a gray mare, and like the others was sold young, and taken away, and ail trace of her lost. By the untimely death of John Sv\^an, the only man, probably, who could give their Avhole history, all trace of them is lost beyond recovery. The gray mare, " Celeste," and chestnut gelding, " Henry," with many others, passed through his hands, and some of them were, doubt- less, descendants of Fanny Pullen. ZAC TAYLOPt, Sometimes called " Gen. Taylor," was a sorrel gelding, 15f hands high, foaled in 1841, bred by Dr. Safford, of West Gardiner, Me., got by Quimby Messenger, dam, a mare used on the stage from Augusta to Bangor, and said to be well bred. Benjamin Hodges, of Hallowell, bought him in the winter of 1846, and-sold a one-half in- terest to Capt. Sager, who then kept the Hallowell House, and they sold him, the following March, to Oliver Wal- ton, of Boston. Pie was afterwards owned by C. P. Relf, of Philadelphia. Mr. Woodruff says " he was a very famous trotter and sticker." He trotted successfully against Lady Suffolk and Tacony. is'ov. 8, 1848, he won 42 NOTED MAINE HORSES. a race, at Philadelphia, against Grey Eagle, under saddle, for $2,000, winning the first, third and fourth heats, in 2 32, 2.33, 2.38.

Sorrel gelding, with star in the forehead, 15i hands high, foaled in 182-, got by Winthrop Messenger ; and was formerly owned in Bangor, by Mr. Strickland. He was finally taken to Mass., and trotted in the thirties. BELLE OF PORTLAN^D. Sometimes called Lady Walker. Dark bay mare with black points, 14.3 high, foaled in 1850, bred by Josiah Hinkley, of Mercer, Me., got by Witherell, dam, pedigree unknown. Hinkley sold her to Dr. Boland, of New Sharon, and he to Hannibal Belcher, Esq., of Farmington, in August, 1854. In 1855 Mr. Belcher sold her to Oliver Walton, of Boston, for S175, and Walton took her to Winthrop, shortly afterwards and sold her to William Beals. Mr. Beals sold her to James Jack, of Portland, and he to James Irving, of New York. In 1857, at the Union Course, July 29, she won a race MESSENGER STOCK. 43 against Harry Walton, in which he was distanced in the second heat, for a purse of S2000. At the Kew City Course, N. Y., Oct. 10, 1861, she won a race against George Cooley and Pill Doctor, in which four heats, all under 2.30 were made. Belle of Portland winning the fastest in 2.26. She was subsequently pur- chased by Mr. J. J. Burgess, and died on the farm of her owner at Belleville, New Jersey, on Friday, Feb'y 1st, 1867. Wilkes' Spirit of The Times, of Feb'y 9, 1867, in speaking of the death of the " celebrated trotting mare, Belle of Portland," sa^^s: " she w^as in her day, one of the best and gamest trotters on the turf, and gave promise during last fall of coming back to her old condition, and of being able to repeat, in the coming spring, some of her previous exploits. It was the intention of her owner to have trotted her for one season more, and then to have retired her finally for breeding purposes." It may not be uninteresting to state that Mr. Belcher sold her for $175, because she was unable to see anything after it became dark. BELLE STEICKLAND. Sorrel mare with white stripe in face, and one white an- kle, 16 hands high, and weighed 1080 pounds at four years of age, foaled June 4, 1860, bred by Mr. Dobson, of Har- mony, Me., got by the Merrow Horse, dam, by Witherell.

Dazzle, by Messengjer Duroc. MORGAIf STOCK. 49 MOHa^N STOCK. JUSTIN MOEGAK. Next to "Wintlirop Messenger, Maine is probably more largely indebted to the descendants of the famous Justin Morgan, for whatever speed she may possess, than to any other source. This horse, Justin Morgan, was a dark bay with black points, and no white marks, about 14 hands high and weighed about 950 pounds, foaled in 1793, bred in Springfield, Mass., and died near Chelsea, Yt, in the winter of 1821; got by True Briton; also called Beau- tiful Bay. Mr. Wallace in his Trotting Eegister, Yol. II., says: "It is altogether probable that the sire of Justin Morgan was thoroughbred, and that his dam had some of the blood of Lindsey's Arabian, in her veins." He was blood-like in his appearance, but there is no evidence that he was a trotter of any considerable speed. Among his descendants, who have been in the stud in Maine at different times, are the following — viz.: MoRaAN" C^SAR, taken to Maine, in 1833, or 34, by Spaulding Smith, of Wilton, and was known in Maine, as "Morgan Post Boy;" got by Woodbury, by Justin Morgan, dam, by Quicksilver. He was the sire of Mac, Pizarro, etc., etc. He was taken to Yermont, in 1842. 3 50 NOTED MAINE HORSES. MoRGAisr Eattler, known in Vermont as Royal Morgan, was brought to Maine, when a colt, and kept until 1829, when he was taken to Derby, Vermont; he was also known as the Steele Horse, Crane Horse, and in some places as the Chamberlain Colt; got by Sherman, by Justin Morgan, dam, by Justin Morgan.

Bulrush, a son of the original Justin Morgan, stood for service in the State in 1831 and '32. Sherman, another son, was driven from Lyndon, Vt., to Portland, Me., in a team for several years, and left some descend- ants in Maine. MORGAN STOCK. 51 WHALEBOKE. Sometimes called the " Clark Horse," was a chestnut stallion, about 15 hands high, and weighed 975 pounds, foaled in 1830, bred by Kobert Bradley, Fryeburg, Me.,* got by Sherman, by Justin Morgan ; dam, not traced. Mr. Bradley sold him to Merrill Wyman, also of Frye- burg, and he in 1840, when ten years old, to Gen. Philo Clark, of Turner, for $350. Gen. Clark kept him until 1853, and he was then sold to Alvah Merrill, also of Turn- er, for SIOO. He had become partially paralyzed some three years before, in consequence of an injury. After having several different owners, he died in Phillips, Me., in 1858. He was a horse of fine style and carriage, and was a favorite parade horse. In all his leading character- istics, he bore a striking resemblance to the best type of the Morgan breed of horses, and alwaj^s exhibited in a high degree, those qualities that have given them their justly earned celebrity. POLLAED MOKGAK. Black stallion, with white in face, about 15 hands high, and weighed about 950 pounds, foaled in 1847, bred by Col. James Hersey, of Sumner, Me., got by Whalebone, dam of Messenger descent. Col. Hersey sold him when three years old to Demus Kicker, of Hartford, for $65, and Ricker sold him when five to Maj.

The dam of the Guild Horse was by Old Win- throp Messenger, and he was said to have been " superi- or to his sire in beauty and quality." When four years old he met with an accident, injuring his hip so that he was lame ever afterwards. After being owned in Sidney several years, Mr. Guild sold him to his brother Samuel Guild, of Augusta. He finally sold him, and he died shortly afterwards. YOXJKG MORGA]^' OTHELLO.

Mac's dam was a large powerful brown mare, by Bush Messenger. Mr. Kecord sold him when three and one-half months old, to Mr. Samuel Harlow, of Canton. Mr. Harlow kept him a stallion, until the fall after he was three years old, during which time he got about fifteen colts; Mr. Harlow then gelded him, and in December, 1846, sold him to Ambrose Merrill, of Hallowell, for $95; Mr. Mer- rill sold him to Benjamin Hodges, of Hallowell, for S300; Hodges sold him to Oliver Walton, of Boston; he to Harry Jones, of Kew York, who in turn disposed of him to Mr. John McArdle, of Albany, who named him. Mr. Woodruff says, " Mac was a very famous horse and very fast." June 5th, 1849, he won a race at Providence, R. I., under saddle, in three heats, the fastest of which was 2.- 29^, beating Lady Suffolk, and two others. June 14, he trotted on the Cambridge Course under saddle, against Lady Suffolk, and Gray Eagle. The first heat was Mac's in 2.31 and the Lady second. Gray Eagle was then drawn.

On the 10th, he trotted two-mile heats, under sad- dle, against Lady Suffolk, and Jack Rossiter, and won in two heats, the Lady being last in the first heat, and then drawn; the time was 5.9, 5.18. Frank Forrester in his "Horse of America" says, "Mac's performances in 1849 were enough to prove him, what he was, a first-rate animal for his day. He made his mile once in 2.26, and his two miles in 5.9, 5.10." The last race of which we have any knowledge, in which he was engaged, was on the 5th of October, 1854, against Flora Temple, mile heats, three in five, in harness, for a purse of $1000. John McArdle still owned him, and he had been injured by over driving, and had got " the thumps," still he was very famous for his many contests with Tacony, and when matched with Flora Temple, was thought to be as good as anything out. But the mare beat him with great ease in three heats, the fastest of which was 2.31:|. WHALEBONE.

From Portland she went to Boston, where she become the property of Mr. Thomas Trant, corner of Washing- ton and ]!!^orth Hampton Sts. Here she became quite noted for her performances on the turf. May 24, 1865, she trotted a matched race for $1000, against a horse called Gen. Grant, over the River- side Park, winning in three straight heats, with such ease that it was evident that she was only driven to win ; time 2.38, 2.43^, 2.44. Her best performance, and that in which she won her fastest record, was at Boston, July 2, 1866, in a race against Panny Allen, for S5000, which she won in three straight heats, in 2.28|, 2.30^, 2.31.

The originator of the famous Drew breed of horses was a dark brown bay stallion, with black points, 15^ hands high, and weighing, in good condition, about 1000 pounds; of genteel form, and fine style and action, but like all our older horses, he was untrained to trot. His appearance has been described as follows, by one who saw him shortly before his death : " Shoulders extreme- ly high, broad and deep, neck light at the head, well arched, and deep at the body; face a little rounding, eyes not very prominent, ears good length and well cut, body small, loins a trifle arched, hips very long and beautifully turned, limbs large, pasterns long, feet high, black and nice, mane spare, tail in waves, and hair short and fine all over the body." He was foaled in May, 1842, bred by Hiram Drew, then of Exeter, Me., and dropped on his father's farm, where he then lived. He was got by a three-year-old bay colt, 16 hands high, said to be thoroughbred. Said colt was bought of an English officer in Fredericton or St. John, N. B., and brought to Maine by A. G. Hunt,^ then of Exeter. His dam was said to have been brought from England in foal DREW STOCK. 61 by a thoroughbred running horse, and this colt being the produce. At Exeter, Mr. Hunt turned him into his pasture which joined Mr. Drew's, from which he was taken several times. Here in Mr. Drew's pasture he sired the colt afterwards known as the Drew horse, which is probably the only colt he ever got, as Mr. Hunt had him castrated shortly after, and sold him. The dam of old Drew was a bay mare, afterwards taken to Boston, and known as Boston Girl. (See Boston Girl.) Although the statements of different parties concern- ing the pedigree of the old Drew horse are somewhat vague and unsatisfactory, it is clearly established that he was a highly bred horse, and surely the generations that have sprung from him should be conclusive in regard to the purity of his blood. He imparted the trotting faculty to his offspring in a remarkable degree. He never passed out of Mr. Drew's hands. He died in Mr. Burrill's stable in Fairfield when 24 years old. He was found in his stall in the morning with his leg broken, and had to be killed. GEH. McCLELLAK. Bay stallion with black points, 15^ hands high, and weighs about 900 pounds, foaled May 16, 1854, bred by N. B.

McKenney sold him in 1864 to Capt. Sanford, of Bangor, for S7000, and he was subsequently purchased by David Quimby, of Corinna, Maine. He is a horse of fine style and carriage, and not only one of the fastest walking stallions in the country, but is a horse of the finest speed and courage as DREW STOCK. 63 a trotter. Indeed, he is regarded by many as the most famous son of the old Drew horse. He has been very successful in the stud, and is the sire of Little Fred, Black "Walnut, Bully Brooks, Hard Road, Maine Girl, and many others of note. In 1864, Sept. 24, in a race against Gen. McClellan at Belfast, he won the first heat in 2.29, since which time he has been kept wholly for stock purposes. JOH]^ BRIGHT.

KNAPP. . Sorrel stallion with white star in the forehead, and white hind feet, 15|- hands high, foaled in 1857, bred by George Snell, of Turner, Me., got by Old Eaton, dam, by Whalebone. Snell sold him when a weanling to Silas Mitchell, of Buckfield. Mitchell kept him until he was two years old, and sold him in August, 1859, to the Eus- sell Bros., for $200. In 1860, when three years old, he stood for service a part of the season in the vicinity of Buckfield, and got a few colts, among which were Shep- herd Knapp, Jr., and the sorrel mare. Caoutchouc. Before the season closed, he was sold to Mr. Emery, of Portland. He afterwards went to Kew York into the hands of Mr. Genet. When four years old, he was trained, and trotted a very severe race of five heats, losing the first two, and winning the three subsequent ones, the best of them being 2.41. The next year, while in train- ing for a race with Harry Clay, he continually hit him- self in the elbows, by reason of excessive knee-action as it appeared, and this prevented the bringing of him up to the mark. He was afterwards sold to Mr. Senter, and taken to England. In 1864, he was matched to trot two miles and a half with a horse called Express for $1000 a side, the race to come off at the Bois de Boulogne near 96 NOTED MAINE HORSES. Paris, France, on the 31st of January, 1865. Express was an American, also, and was owned by a French gen- tleman at Rouen, in IsTormandy. The race was won by Shepherd F. Knapp in 6.14, being a trifle better than 2.30 to the mile. In 1866, much excitement was caused in sporting circles on the announcement that a great Inter- national match had been entered into between two horses, the representatives of England and France, in which £600 were deposited. The horse chosen as the representative of France was Abdallah King, an American, while Shep- herd F. Knapp was selected as the champion of England. Abdallah King was trained at Paris, while Knapp went through the '^ grand preparation" at Ealing, and only took a trip across the Channel on the Friday preceding the race, which took place at the Cascade, on the Bois de Boulogne, Paris, on Monday, Feb. 12, 1866. The distance was one mile in harness. The elite of the Parisian sport- ing world were present, although the race as it turned out, was a hollow affair. Knapp literally "walked in," and won as he liked by nearly fifty yards. SHEPHERD KXAPP, Jr. Bay gelding, with narrow white stripe in face, spot on under lip, two white stockings forward and one behind, with white hairs mixed in all over his body, about IS^- hands high, foaled in 1861, bred by John E. Bonney, Turner, Me., got by Shepherd F. Knapp, dam, by Royal Oak (which see). Bonney sold him when a sucking colt to the Russell Bros., of Buckfield. He was originally a pacer, and followed that way of going until he was four years old, when he left it for a better one, and com- menced to trot fast. He made his first appearance in EATON STOCK. 97 public at the Maine State Fair of 1866 at Augusta, Me., where he won the five year old purse and a record of 2.36. At that time he wore forward shoes weighing 2\ pounds each. He was then sold to George M. Delaney, of Augusta, for $3,250, and went into the stable of George H. Bailey, the well-known trainer. His first race in Mr. Bailey's hands was at Augusta in Oct., 1866, when he beat Emperor and Johnny Schmoker. ISTov. 1, same year, he met and defeated, in straight heats, the stallion Draco Prince, and the celebrated twenty-miler, John Stewart, over the Mj-stic Park, Boston. The time of the heats were 2.33, 2.33|-, 2.36, and in the third heat Knapp gave a taste of his quality by trotting a quarter in 33^ seconds. The next season, 1867, Mr. Bailey had Knapp in train- ing at Riverside Park, Boston, where he was very success- ful. Wliile owned by Mr. Delaney he trotted fourteen races, and won eleven. He was sold that fall to Charles O. Conant, of Boston, foT" $6,500, and trained by the late William Woodruff. The next season, 1868, he was sold to Dr. Page, of Boston, his present owner, who paid $10,000 for him. May 27, 1869, at the Prospect Park, he beat Old Put, Darkness, Com. ^utt. Western ^N'ew York, and Surprise, in straight heats, for a purse of $3000; time, 2.30, 2.30^, 2.34. June 7, same year, he beat the black stallion Dark- ness in three straight heats to wagon, for $2000. The race was at the Riverside Park, Boston, and Knapp won in 2.33, 2.301-, 2.29^, which is his fastest public record. He has since passed through the hands of several of the most prominent Boston trainers, and has been trotted all over the country, but has been very unsuccessful until the past season. In July, 1873, he was returned to Mr. 5 98 NOTED MAINE HORSES. Bailey, his old trainer, in hopes that the same treat- ment he had formerly given him might produce the same results, and that he might be able to turn the tables upon those horses that have been defeating him for the past five years, by again appearing in public as a winner. The result, while it is very flattering to Mr. Bailey's skill as a patient, careful, and intelligent handler of the trotting horse, must be also very gratifying to the friends of the little white-legged Knapp, who have stuck to him through so many adversities. He started in ten races last fall, and won nine of them, receiving one forfeit, having lost but one race through the fall campaign. At Waterville, Me., July 25, he beat Gen. Lightfoot, Bed Jacket, White Stockings, Little Ed, Pomp, and Ama- zon; best time, 2.37. Lewiston Driving Park, Aug. 29, received forfeit from White Stockings in a match for $500. Same track, Aug. 30, match for S500, he beat Buf- falo Bill in straight heats; time 2.34, 2,33^, 2.32. At Maine State Fair at Bangor, Sept. 10, he won the Swee^o- stakes purse, beating the stallion Gen. Lightfoot, and the St. John's horse, Andy Johnson. The time was 2.41, 2.35, 2.35, 2.37, 2.44^. Andy Johnson won the first two heats, and the last was trotted in a gale of wind and rain. In Sept., at the Forest City Park, Portland, he won the " free for all " purse of ^400, beating Buffalo Bill; best time, 2.36. In the last heat of this race, Knapp, by a bad break, fell several lengths behind, but getting steadied as he reached the three-quarter pole, he trotted the last quarter in the remarkable time of 30 seconds, winning the heat and race. At Taunton, Mass., Bristol County Fair, Oct. 2, he won the "free for all" purse of $700, beating Billy Platter and Climax; time 2.33^, 2.34^, 2.34f , 2.36; Platter winning the second heat. At Beacon Park, EATON STOCK. 99 Boston, Oct. 11, he beat Fannie, Bristol Bill, and Joe Hooker in straight heats in 2.31, 2.32|, 2.31|. At Law- rence, Mass., Oct. 24, he won the last three out of five heats in the 2.29 purse in 2.36|, 2.34^, 2.35^, beating Fan- nie, Bristol Bill, Frank Palmer, and Ki-Ki. At Man- chester, ]S". H., Oct. 30, he again beat Frank Palmer, Ki-Ki, Bristol Bill, and Ked Wallace. This was his last appearance in 1873. f GRAY STRA:N'GER.

July 4, 1855, as Stranger, he trotted in a race at Bangor against Lady Litchfield and Bay Morgan (afterwards Hiram Drew), and although beaten in the race, Stranger won the third heat in 2.30 and the fourth in 2.33. CAOUTCHOUC. •Sorrel mare, 15^ hands high, and weighs 975 pounds, foaled in 1861, bred by Orville Bridgham, Buckfield, Maine, got by Shepard F. Knapp, dam, Witherell.

At the New England Fair at X^owell, Mass., Sept. 5, 1872, she won the race for horses that never beat three minutes, in a field of twelve, in straight heats. Time 2.- 41J, 2.41f , 2.41^. At the Kew England Fair of 1873, at 100 NOTED MAINE HORSES. the Mystic Park, Boston, in. the 2.40 race, she won the second heat easily, with a record of 2.35|:. DAjN"IEL BOONE.

At Forest City Driving Park, Portland, Me., Aug. 30, 1871, he beat Hector and Honest Shaker, in straight heats, in 2.46i, 2.45, 2.48. June 26, 1873, in a race at Bangor, Me., he won the first heat, 2.39, but we think he has a faster record than even this, in an unpublished race. WHAT IS IT. Chestnut gelding, 15f hands high, foaled in 185 — , bred by Samuel Daggett, Farmington, Me., got by the Beals Horse, by Eaton, dam, by Witherell. He was purchased by C. G.

He was owned by a Mr. Gilman, who was in the Legislature, and his son-in-law, Mr. Griff'eth took him to Canton to winter. He was said at that time to be, by an imported thoroughbred horse, and out of a French mare. In March following, Messrs. G. & C. Hayford, of Canton, bought him for $150, and stood him in that vi- cinity during the season of 1842. He died at Canton of lung fever, April 27, 1843. The dam of Kising Sun was a bay mare owned by Mr. Young, noted for her breeding qualities, got by Duroc, a white stallion, brought from Long Island, about 45 years ago, by Bennett Pompilly, of Turner, Me. He (Duroc) was a noted running horse and ran many races, and was well known throughout the State. He possessed many of the characteristics of the thoroughbred, and was said to be by a horse called Duroc, but how related to Duroc by Imported Diemed, we are unable to say.

He was kept for service in Canton and vicinity until seven years old, and then sold to Farrar & Morrill, of Buckfield. He stood one or two seasons in Buckfield, and was then taken to Massachusetts. When his stock came into use, they were thought so well of that Mr. O. T.

Y., he trotted a double team race with Medoc against Kitty and Belle Collins, in which the mares were distanced in the first heat. All who have read " Horse Portraiture," by Joseph Cairn Simpson, and most horsemen have read it, have no doubt been much interested in the history and perform- ances of the horse " Kever Mind." This horse and Nabocklish are believed to be one and the same. EMPEEOR.

Black stallion, ISi- hands high, and weighs 1050 pounds, with star in forehead, stripe of white on nose and upper lip, with brownish nose, flanks and stifles; foaled in 1855. He was purchased in 1858, of Denny & Bush, of Shore- ham, Yt., and brought to Maine, by Col. Thomas S. Lang, of Yassalboro, and was then called Slasher. He was always said to be by Sherman Black Hav/k, while owned 124 NOTED MAINE HORSES. in Maine, but the researches of Mr. J. H. Wallace clearly establish the fact that the sire of Gen. Knox was Ver- mont Hero, and not Sherman Black Hawk (his grandsire) as was long published. His pedigree we give below in tabulated form : PEDIGREE OF GEN. KNOX. { Vermont Black Hawk. f Sherman Black I Hawk. \ Vermont Hero. o O dara, "by Harris' Hambletonian. dam, by Young Ham- (. bletonian. , dam, by ' HamWetofiau. ! Harri,'Hambletonian. dam, by Harris' Hambletonian. Gen. Knox's performances on the turf have been few in number and always made in poor condition, as he stood for service every season while owned in Maine. Among them, however, are the following : At Waterville, Me., Oct. 22, 1863, he beat Hiram Drew, and won a record of 2.32. In 18G4, in Sept., at the first exhibition of the jSTew England Agricultural Society, held in Springfield, Mass., he beat Draco, Duke of Wellington, and one other, in three straight heats in 2.31^, 2.37, 2.34i, making the first half mile in the first heat in 1.14, and the first half mile in the third heat in 1.15, and winning the distinction as " Champion of New England," which he has ever since held. He was in very poor condition to trot at the time this race was made, having received no training, but on the contrary had covered mares to within twenty days of the time of the race. In 1871, he was entered in the 2.30 KNOX STOCK. 125 class, at Buffalo, and during his preliminary preparation turned the track in 2.26, but a subsequent lameness pre- vented his starting for the premium. After a very successful career in the stud, in Maine, where he has left a numerous progeny, he was sold in 1872, to Mr. H. K. Smith, of Kew York, for 110,000. The Spirit of the Times, of Dec. 20, 1873, in speaking of Gen. Knox, says : " Gen. Knox is a grand horse, eighteen years old, with legs and feet as sound and clean as a wild deer's, and the sire of Camors, Lady Maud, Gilbreth Knox, Plato, and many others. He is a natural trotter, and even now can show an astounding burst of speed when given his head in his exercise. There are few sires whose get are so " chock full of trot," to use a down-east expression. " A Knox that cannot trot is a rarity," says an expert horseman who has been handling them for years. " Gen. Knox is now located at the Fashion Stud Farm, near Trenton, isT. J., and is the projDerty of its proprietor, Mr. H. IN". Smith, owner of Goldsmith Maid, Lady Thorn, Socrates, Tattler, and part owner of Jay Gould." " In this brilliant galaxy, Knox attracts a due propor- tion of interest. He received many mares last season from remote points, and the astute banker who owns him considers him a remunerative and truly valuable invest- ment." It may not be uninteresting to state that the celebrated mare Lady Thorn was bred to Gen. Knox, in 1873, in preference to Hambletonian or his descendants, and her colt foaled Feb. 22, 1874, called Gen. "Washington, in honor of the day on which he was foaled, is described by the Spirit of the Times as " a large and finely formed bay colt with black points, light about the head and neck, 128 KOTED MAINE HORSES. nostrils and ears very thin, neck long and slim, "with strong and well-formed legs," and the probability is should no misfortune befall him, he "will prove "worthy of his il- lustrious breeding, and perpetuate the fame of his sire and dam. CAMORS. Black gelding "with no white marks, 1^^ hands high, foaled in 1864, bred by Levi Atwood, Portland, Me., got by Gen. Knox. His dam was bred by Gen. Peleg Wads worth, of Hiram, Me., and was got b}^ a very common horse, raised and always kept in Hiram, and out of a mare whose pedigree Gen. Wadsworth does not know. When two years old Mr. Atwood sold him at auction, and he became the property of R. O. Conant, of Portland. He was afterwards sold to Lon Morris, of Boston, who named him, for over ^2000. He sold him to John F. Merrow, also of Boston, for $11,500. August 15, 1872, at Utica, N. Y., Camors won the race for horses that never beat 2.50 in straight heats, in 2.30, 2.29, 2.31^, for a purse of S3000. August 20, at the Hampden Park, Springfield, Mass., he won the 2.30 race, beating ten horses in straight heats, in 2.34f, 2.32f, 2.30^. Sept. 10, 1872, at Mystic Park, Boston, he beat Gray Eddy, Dauntless, and Lydia Thompson, in straight heats, time 2.27, 2.25^, 2.26^. His crowning triumph for the season was achieved at the Prospect Park, Brooklyn, Sept. 19, where he beat Judge Pullerton, W. H. Allen, Lulu, and Triumph, win- ning the first and second heats in 2.23, 2.21|, and the fourth in 2.23^. He wintered at the Mystic Park, Boston, and August 16, 1873, he trotted a race at Buffalo, IST. Y., against Judge KNOX STOCK. 127 PuUerton, Sensation, and other fast ones. Camors won the first and fastest heat in 2.20^, and the second in 2.21f , but lost the race. The Spirit of the Times ^ in speaking of the race at Buffalo, says, " Camors had the speed of them all, and doubtless could have beaten any one singly. The least that can be said is that he fairly surprised his most sanguine friends, and scored a record that will be pointed to with pride by the admirers of the Knox blood." " The first heat done in 2.20|- was a remarkable per- formance, under the circumstances, and if the track had been in good condition, there is little doubt but the time would have been down in the 'teens." Sept. 27, 1873, at Prospect Park, in a race for horses that never beat 2.20, for a purse of $3000, Camors, Sensa- tion,2Huntress, W. H. Allen and Gazelle were entered. Sensation won the first and second heats in 2.22f , 2.24, and Camors the next three and race in 2.23:^, 2.22^, 2.24f , making five heats, all under 2.25. LADY MAUD. Dark brown mare, over 15 hands, foaled June 15, 1867, bred by Col. T. S. Lang, North Yassalboro, Maine, got by Gen. Knox, dam, Mocking Bird, a fast mare brought from 'New York, by Abner Barrows, got by a running horse called Sabek. After Mr. Lang went to Europe, Lady Maud was sold, and finally taken to New York. August 8, 1872, at the Buffalo Park, she trotted a race for horses five years old and under, for a purse of S1500, winning in straight heats in 2.29i, 2,29f , 2.27:^, beating Zilcadie Golddust, Mary H., Rowe's Tommy and Yanity Fair. Oct. 10, 1872, she won a matched race for $5000, at the Prospect Park, beating Lucille Golddust. 128 NOTED MAI^E HORSES. The first heat Lady Maud won in 2,30|- ; the secoDd she lost in 2.29i, and the fourth and fifth she won in the re- markably fast time of 2.22f , 2.22^, which is said to be the fastest recorded for the age. In 1873 she was bred to Jay Gould, who has the fastest public record of any stallion living. GILBEETII KXOX. Black stallion, 15f hands high, and weighs about 1075 pounds, foaled in 1862, bred by Samuel Guild, of Augus- ta, 2fot by Gen. Knox, dam, the Cahill mare so called, brought from the West, and pedigree unknown. Guild sold him when about a year old to J. H. Gilbreth, of Kendall's Mills, Me. After Mr. Gilbreth's death he was sold to Mr. A. Wentworth, of Boston, for $1700.

The first heat was won by Rowe's Tommy, in 2.48|, Ben Morrill, second, and Dixon distanced. Silver Heel having been drawn, only two were left to contend for the prize. .The second heat was won by Ben. Morrill, in 2.34^, the third in 2.32f , and the fourth in 2.36. The value of this performance should not be under estimated. Xot only was the time remarkable, consider- ing the age of the contestants, the third heat being in 2.32f, and the first half in 1.13f , but it should be borne in mind that the colt had to contend against the repre- sentatives of the best blood in the country. Rowe's Tommy, being by Thomas Jefferson, one of the most promising young horses in the country, he by Toronto Chief, out of the famous Gipsey Queen. Dixon is also a scion of a noble race, his sire being Happy Medium, by Rysdyk's Hambletonian.
