POTENCY OF ^lORGAN BLOOD SHOWS MERIT IN BREED- 

 ING. 



The prepotenc}- of the ]\iorgan blood, shows itself as prominently 

 down through many generations of outcrossing as that of any other type 

 of our horses. The characteristics of form, style, prompt action and 

 endurance is still manifest more particularly in the admixture with the 

 descendents of old Messenger, the remote fountain of the trotting horses 

 of today. A combination of Hambletonian, lo, Mambrina Chief, ii, and 

 almost any branch of the Morgan families, gives compactness of form, 

 rapid aciion, level head, good finish and graceful carriage. By careful 

 analysis of many of our best pcformers in harness races of today, will 

 be found the combination above represented, added to this will be found 

 the thorousfhbred blood, of many different strains.
