Moses Wheeler, of Claremont, purchased a half interest in 

 him, and the next season purchased the other half. After 

 keeping him one year, Mr. Wheeler sold him, and he passed 

 through many different hands. He was kept near Connec- 

 ticut river at Claremont, Croydon, Cornish, Wethcrsfield, 

 and immediate points. In 1835 or 1836, he became the 

 property of Edwin Billings, of Claremont, who kept him 

 until he died. In April, 1837, Mr. Billings drove him to 

 Chester, Yt., intending to go to the western part of the 

 State, but here the horse was taken sick and died suddenly. 

 Revenge was a dark bay, or light brown. In the spring 

 after shedding his coat he might almost be called a black, 

 but in the winter he was often called a bay ; he was about 

 fourteen and half hands high, and weighed fully one thous- 

 and pounds; he had less action than either Woodbury or 

 Sherman; but he had a very close knit form, with excellent 

 back, loins, hips, and limbs ; his chest and shoulders were 

 not so fine as some of the others, nor did ho have a very 

 smooth, easy gait, but he never paced nor hitched. He had 

 plenty of life, great endurance, and, as one of his owners 

 said to us, " he was an ugly customer to get away from on 

 the road." His stock were dark bay or brown, and occa- 

 sionally chestnut. They had good size, wore strong, har- 

 dy, and enduring ; generally free drivers, but had not as 

 easy action nor as good style as the stock from the others; 

 and some of them would both pace and trot. When a colt, 

 Revenge was frightened by the breaking of some part of the 

 harness or carriage, and ran away. From the effects of 

 this fright he never fully recovered, and if driven single 

 would pull hard when a little excited, but wc have not heard 

 of his ever running, except on the occasion just mentioned. 

 He was perfectly sound.
