DANIEL LAMBERT. 517 



«even heats; and Ethan Allen Jr. has Prince Allen, 2:27, and Allen, 

 ■2:28:^. The absurdity of all this nomeuclatnre needs no comment — 

 ihe only thing to dim the celebrity of the family. 



In addition to the foregoing, American Ethan, another son, has 

 ■George H. Mitchell, 2:26; Favorite, 2:30; Fanny Raymond, 2:30. 



Honest Allen, another son, has Prince Allen, 2:26i; Alton Boy, 

 ■2:294; Shakespeare, 2:30; and still another — the names having been 

 ■exhausted — called Son of Ethan Allen, has to his credit, Clifton Boy, 

 ■2:23^; Lizzie Kellar, 2:30; Nira Belle, 2:2!); and Zephyr, 2:30. 



His greatest son, however, is 



DANIEL LAMBERT. 



This is one of the most distinguished of living stallions. He was 

 foaled in 1858, and was owned for many years by Edward Bates, Esq., 

 of Boston, lately deceased, and is yet held by the executors of that 

 g'entleman. The dam of Lambert was Fanny Cook, and she must be 

 regarded as a mare of extraordinary merit, and her blood was such as 

 should have ofuaranteed g-reat merit. She was a daughter of Abdal- 

 lah, and her dam is asserted to have been a daughter of Stockholm's 

 American Star, son of Duroc, from a daughter of Messenger. This 

 •of itself, going no further, would make her a mare of great blood 

 •excellence; but we are further assured that the grandam of Fanny 

 •Cook was a Red Bird mare, and it is claimed that she was daughter 

 •of the horse Red Bird, by Bishop's Hambletonian, dam by Red Bird, 

 a thoroughbred, which was brought into Eastern New York at a very 

 «arly period. This is now regarded as the authentic pedigree of 

 Fanny Cook, the dam of Daniel Lambert, and so many other excel- 

 lent horses. 



Fanny Cook was foaled in 1854, and i-aised fourteen foals, six of which 

 ■were by Ethan Allen — the majority of them being chestnuts in color. 

 Such is the color of Daniel Lambert; he has a white snip on his 

 nose and one hind foot white. He has all the lofty carriage, the fine 

 form and the matchless style of his sire and his grandsire, Vermont 

 J31ackhawk, in perfection. He retains much of the Morgan, and yet 

 has engrafted upon it the real qualities of the Messenger as they were 

 •exhibited in Alidallah, except in his rough and homely exterior. He 

 ■seems to be the one stallion that combines Abdallah's great trotting, and 

 I may also say, his rich breeding qualities, with all the beauty and 

 symmetry of Blackhawk. Still more, so far as it has yet appeared, 

 the infirmities inherited from the dam of Ethan Allen have been
