364 THE HORSE OF AMERICA. 



he made his record, was the best son of Drew Horse. He was a 

 brown horse, and in appearance much like his sire. He was 

 foaled 1856 and came out of a mare that has not been traced, but 

 was doubtless a pacing mare. He was bred by Horace MeKinney, 

 Monroe, Maine, and passed to David Quimby, of Corinna, Maine, 

 and died 1884. He made his record of 2:29 in a single heat and 

 never was on the track again. Four trotters and two pacers by 

 him entered the 2:30 list. Two of his sons became the sires of 

 three trotters, and five of his daughters each produced a per- 

 former. He left others with and without records that were fast 

 and stylish drivers. 



HIRAM DREW, at first called Bay Morgan, was a son of Old 

 Drew, and his dam was a small bay mare, owned near Bangor and 

 said to be of Morgan blood. This horse was on the turf some 

 years and was engaged in some locally important contests, but 

 never was able to make himself standard either by his own or the 

 performances of his progeny. His best performance, I believe, ' 

 was 2:3H. 



WINTHROP was a bay horse, foaled 1864, got by Drew Horse; 

 dam by the Eton Horse and grandam by Stone or Simpson's Mes- 

 senger. He was bred by E. J. Greene, Newport, Maine; taken 

 to California 1870, and there owned by Judge W. E. Greens and 

 L. E. Yates, of Stockton. It does not appear that he ever was 

 trained, and consequently has no record. His opportunities, 

 probably, were not very great, but whether or not, he was not 

 successful in the stud. He left one trotter and one pacer and 

 the dams of one trotter and one pacer. 



This family never was large, and its popularity was up and 

 down just as a few individuals might be successful or unsuccess- 

 ful on the turf. To start with, it had a very weak inheritance 

 of trotting instinct, and that weakness did not strengthen in suc- 

 ceeding generations. Of late years it has failed to maintain 

 itself as a trotting family, and is now practically out of the- 

 reckoning of trotters. 



HIATOGA, generally known as Eice's Hiatoga, was a bay pac- 

 ing horse and was bred in Rockingham County, Virginia, and 

 taken to Fairfield County, Ohio, by Edward Rice, some time about 

 1836. He had the reputation of being a fast pacer, and was sold 

 to William Shiruo, of the same county, and by him to William 

 Munger, in whose possession he died. He was got by a horse
