126 ROAD, TRACK, AND STABLE. 



The Lamberts and the Knoxes are, as I have said, 

 decendants of Sherman, the handsome little chestnut 

 son of Justin Morgan. 



There are also two families of fine roadsters and 

 trotters descended from Bulrush, another son of Jus 

 tin Morgan. These are the Fearnaughts and the Win- 

 throp Morrills. Both of these families are inbred to 

 Justin Morgan, and they show a great deal of quality 

 and of spirit, notwithstanding the fact that Bulrush 

 was a coarse horse, with a very heavy mane and tail, 

 suggestive of Canadian blood on his dam's side. This 

 fact goes far to prove that Justin Morgan was well 

 bred on both sides. For if his dam had been — as 

 some writers assert — a coarse-bred Canadian mare, 

 like the dam of Bulrush, then inbreeding among the 

 descendants of Justin Morgan, especially in the Bul- 

 rush line, could hardly have produced horses so fine 

 and bloodlike as are many of the Fearnaughts and of 

 the Morrills. The Fearnaughts are usually chestnut 

 horses ; much resembling the Lamberts, but somewhat 

 larger, and perhaps a little more fiery. 



Another excellent family of roadsters is that of the 

 Drews. The original Drew, a Maine horse, was foaled 

 in 1842, his sire, it is said, being a pure thoroughbred, 

 a b3.y horse sixteen hands high. Drew was a dark 

 bay or brown, standing fifteen and a quarter hands, and 

 weighing about a thousand pounds. He had good 

 shoulders and a fine neck " light at the head, deep 

 at the bodv," and well arched. His bodv was small : 

 liis hips were long and beautifully turned. He had 

 stout legs, long pasterns a thin mane, and a nice 

 short coat. His dam also was very well bred, being 

 by Sir Henry, a son of American Eclipse, out of a
