328 OTHER HAMBLBTONIANS. 



produce of Happy Medium have annually made their appearance on 

 the turf, in difierent localities, and their performances have been so 

 numerous and creditable, that it can not be denied by any impartial 

 reader or thinker but that he has been a valuable and successful sire 

 of trotters. 



His public record of 2:324, in an easy won race, as a six-year-old, 

 was certainly a very satisfactory performance, and showed most con- 

 clusively that he had inherited all the trotting instinct of his famous 

 sire and dam; while the performanees of his colts are a most sure 

 guarantee that he perpetuates the same in his get. The following is 

 a list of the produce of Happy Medium, which is but a partial one, 

 with a brief account of their performances, both private and public, 

 as taken from the statement of his owner: 



Milton Medium, Fleetwood, Baron Luff, Sans Souci, Happy 

 Thought, Alice Medium, Frank Ellis, Dixon, Odd Stocking, Happy 

 Medium Jr., Jennie, Minnie Medium, Harry Ward, Blaze Medium, 

 Rose Medium, Blanche Medium, the Gillender Mare, Brigadier, Grand 

 Duke Alexis, Princess Medium, May Medium, Frank Medium, 

 Ellwood Medium, Helen Medium, Maud Medium, Dexter Medium, 

 Monroe Medium, Ethel Medium, and many others. 



This is a list of trotters — every one of them. 



Milton Medium, in 1876, when five years old, won a race at Suffolk 

 Park, Philadelphia, in 2:37, 2:36, and 2:37. Two days subsequently he 

 trotted, over the same course, a third heat in 2:31. Afterward he was 

 purchased for stud purposes by J. S. Mendenthal, Esq., of Clarion 

 county, Pennsylvania, for $5,000. He is now in California, and 

 Happy Medium can safely rest his reputation with the breeders of the 

 Pacific Slope upon two such representatives as Milton Medium and 

 Brigadier. 



Brigadier, as a green four-year-old, last year won his maiden race 

 in 2:33^, 2:33^, and 2:39. Three days subsequently he won the race 

 at Chico, Cal., for four-year-olds, in 2:40, 2:33^, and 2:30. After- 

 ward he won three more races, all of his engagements, only losing a 

 single heat in the five events. 



Happy Thought is well known all over the country. As a three- 

 year-old, in 1875, he won the Charter Oak Colt stakes, at Hartford, in 

 2:43 and 2:40, with commanding ease. As a four-year-old he did not 

 appear, but last season, as a five-year-old, he made a record of 2:31. 

 He has shown his owner, Mr. Morgan, of Stonington, Conn., remarka- 

 bly fast time in repeated trials.
