POSTWORD. 



The stable of the late George Houstoiin Waring, of 

 Savannah, at Annandale Stock Farm, where the first 

 Georgia Morgans were raised, consisted of four Morgans 

 brought from Vermont and New Hampshire. They were. 

 Enterprise, No. 423, chestnut with flaxen mane and tail ; 

 Paragon Black Hawk, the handsomest horse I ever 

 saw, black with white star, very showy in tandem ; Clive, 

 beyond compare in Morgan perfection, for whom, at four 

 years of age Mr. Waring refused $4,000; Bay Comet, 

 perfect in form and disposition, dark with black points. 

 There were fifty mares, nearly all INIorgans. The finest 

 of these was Rosalie Morgan, from A^rmont. She was 

 exhibited many years at the Georgia State Fairs, and at 

 each would take the prizes for the best brood mare, best 

 mare with colt at her side, and best trotting mare. When 

 she appeared in these three classes no other mare stood 

 any chance. Finally she was ruled out. She had nine- 

 teen colts, two of which I know sold for $600 each. 

 Rosalie died at thirty-two years of age. 



I bought from Mr. Waring a Bay Comet colt, daugh- 

 ter of Amanda Morgan, and named her Jeannie Dean. 

 Jeannie was like a member of my family for thirty-one 

 years. She was the perfect type in character and form. 



Frank, a grandson of Enterprise, one of the later 

 and best known Morgans was owned and trotted by 

 William Henry Stiles, in 2:iS]4 ; l"ie inherited all the fine 

 traits of "Old Justin Morgan." 



Annandale had a half-mile track, and every equip- 

 ment for the care and comfort of this transplanted race.
