A FOREIGN ^lARKET. 95 



to suit the English taste. I know of some travelling sires, 

 boastiuof the best bloocl iu the world, who can manufocture 

 stock 'after their kind,' which would work wonders with 

 your best mares. I should like to see ' Vanderdecken,' 

 'Make Haste,' 'Knight of the Garter,' and others, mated 

 with such mares as 'Lulu,' and their produce offered at 

 Tattersall's.

I have read this letter to show that there is a new mar- 

 ket to be opened, and that the American horse is to enter 

 into the commerce of the Avorld. Good, strong American 

 horses are coming into demand everywhere, and the English 

 are looking to this country for their horses. We can, then, 

 step forward, if we will, and enter into the commerce of the 

 world, and supply England with her best cavalry and best 

 driving horses. I read that simply as a tribute from an 

 English breeder, and a man who knows something of what 

 we are doing here. Your Morgans, and Messengers, and 

 Hambletonians, and Patcheus, and Morrills, are unequalled 

 for general use, and the best experts throughout the world 

 know it ; and I am of opinion that nowhere in the United 

 Kingdom can a supply of horses for all work be purchased 

 with so much ease as they can be in many parts of the United 

 States. 



Now, gentlemen, this is my opinion about the horse. I 

 have bred my own horses, and drive them, and like them; 

 and I think it is in our power to raise what we want, if we 

 will exercise good judgment, and that we are not compelled 

 to rely upon accident or chance to reach a satisfactory con- 

 clusion. We have it in our own hands. 



Adjourned to two o'clock.
