302 CLAY HAMBLETONIANS. 



from home. He is said to show excellent qualities as a roadster and 

 as a sire. He has a three-year-old son in the West, owned by Wm, 

 Bonner, Esq., of Beaver Dam, Wis. He is called Maitland, and was 

 bred by David Bonner, Esq., of New York. His pedigree is as fol- 

 lows: By Blackstone — dam Dolly, by Parrish Hambletonian ; second 

 dam by Duroc Messenger; third dam by Russell's Eclipse; Parrish 

 Hambletonian by Harris' Hambletonian, he by Bishop's Hamble- 

 tonian, son of imp. Messenger. 



One of the largest breeders of Wisconsin, and one of the best 

 judges of horses known to me, describes this colt as quite equal to his 

 pedigree, which certainly presents a combination of the finest trotting 

 strains anywhere to be found. 



This horse, while not strictly of the Clay cross, belongs, on the 

 dam's side, to the Bashaw family, and hence his sketch is inserted here. 



black's hambletonian. 



This is a bay stallion, foaled 1868. He is dark in color, has a large 

 star, and below it a strip that extends downward to the end of the 

 nose. 



He was bred by C. R. Bull, of Orange county. New York, and is 

 owned by S. Baxter Black, of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania. He 

 was bought by Mr. Black when one year old, from his breeder, for 

 13,500. His dam was Kitt, by Long Island Blackhawk — a very 

 superior mare, that could trot in three minutes. 



He has been kept exclusively for stud purposes, but is a good 

 gaited horse, and esteemed good for 2:30, with no great amount of 

 handlino-. He is a good breeder, and has some very handsome pro- 

 duce. Though young, they can show in 2:40 or better, but have not 

 been yet entered on the race courses. He is a cleanly formed horse, 

 is fifteen and a half hands high, and has a splendid back and loin. 

 He has good quarters, and shows the caste of the Hambletonian 

 family in high degree. 



His blood ought to make him a valuable horse, and such he is 

 regarded, and will, with age, have the fruits to show for the excellence 

 of his form and his high breeding. 



This horse being also of the Bashaw cross is inserted here.
