518 THE PEOPLE'S FARM AND STOCK CYCLOPEDIA. 



ROYAL GEORGE, the sire of Toronto Chief, was a Canadian 

 horse, not a Canuck. His sire was Black Warrior, and he by 

 an imported horse. 



The sons of RYSDYK'S HAMBLETONIAN, Bruno and Brother of 

 Bruno, and their full sister, Brunette, were out of a Canadian 

 mare. They had remarkable speed and powers of endurance. 



GIFT, a chestnut gelding by Mambrino Pilot, was out of a 

 small pacing Cannuck mare. At four years old he received five 

 forfeits; his owner challenged any colt of same age to trot in 

 harness, or to a wagon, for $1,000, and found no taker. 



ST. LAWRENCE was a bay stallion of great excellence, and a 

 sire of several fast trotters. 



BLACK HAWK, often called VERMONT BLACK HAWK, was foaled 

 in 1833 at Greenland, N. H., was a son of Sherman, one of the 

 best sons of Justin Morgan, the founder of the Morgan family. 

 The dam of Black Hawk was of unknown breeding. He was 

 used for seven years as a carriage-horse in Lowell, Mass., and 

 then was sold to David Hill, of Vermont, in whose hands he 

 sired more high priced colts than any other horse of his day. 

 He was the sire of Ethan Allen, Black Ralph, Lancet, Belle of 

 Saratoga, Black Hawk Maid, Flying Cloud, and many others of 

 great repute. His colts were in great demand in the West and 

 South. It is worthy of note that, notwithstanding the great 

 excellence of his colts, only three of the fifty-two trotting stall- 

 ions advertised in 1868 are descendants of Vermont Black Hawk, 

 and all of these are part Messenger. 



TOM WONDER is another rather remarkable animal, tracing to 

 the Canadian blood. " He is by Tom Crowder, dam by Wood- 

 pecker, thorough-bred." 



Mambrino Family. The Mambrinos rival the Hamble- 

 tonians. They descend mostly from Mambrino Chief. He was 

 bred in the East, and taken to Kentucky by James B. Clay in 

 1854, where he died in 1861. His sire was Mambrino Paymas- 

 ter by Mambrino, Messenger's best son. He has a numerous and 

 noted progeny, among them Lady Thorn, Bay Chief, Mambrino, 

 Pilot, Ericsson, Mambrino Patchen, Brignoli, Kentucky Chief, 

 Ashland, etc. The pedigree and performance of his get accord.
