BLOOD STALLIONS. 85 



tucky a brown horse, Friendly Tiger, descendant of Cook & 

 Blackman's WliijD. This stock for " all work " had no superior, 

 and were particularly valuable for coach horses. 



Cadmus, by American Eclipse, out of Die Yernon, she by 

 Florizel and Washington, by Timoleon out of Ariadne, she by 

 imported Citizen, were imported from the old States in 1838. 

 Washington stood in Dayton two seasons, getting some of the 

 finest stock we have. 



In 1839, Capt. Riley's imported Barb horse Mayzube, was 

 brought to Ohio. Some of his get were very durable, tongh, 

 hardy horses, as farm horses and roadsters. 



In 1840, Civil John by Tariff, the son of Sir Archie, &c., 

 out of Mary Haxhall by Haxhall's Moses, &c. Good stock. 

 Also a Medoc horse brought from Kentucky. 



In 1842 or 1843, Mr. William Y. Barkalow, of Franklin, War- 

 ren Co., introduced Com. Stockton's imported horse Langford, 

 also ten or twelve fine brood mares and fillies, and established a 

 stock farm in the " Jersey Settlement." Among the mares, 

 both native and imported, were of the former Miss Mattie and 

 Caroline by Eclipse. These were of the best. The get of 

 Langford and Eclipse mares constitute decidedly the best cross 

 we have, all large, fine, good temper, gentle and kind, and of 

 the most durable. We have at present very few well authenti- 

 cated pedigrees of brood mares in Western Ohio ; the cause is 

 negligence, very little attention being given to the Register. 

 Also in 1842, the famous old horse Bellfounder, not more than 

 a half bred, if that, took up his quarters in Butler Co. His get 

 are large, moderate trotters, looked upon as good coach horses, 

 of early maturity, doing their best at 4 and 5 years and old 

 horses, at 7 and 8. Also, the half bred Archie Lightfoot, from 

 Kentucky, son of Archie of Trans23ort ; getting fine, large coach 

 horses, early maturity — ^bays mostly — not lasting. 



In 1845 and 1846, two fine thoroughbred Kentucky horses, 

 Gazan and Marco, bred by Doctor Warfield, Lexington, Ky., 

 both got by his famous horse Sir Leslie, son of Sir William, he 

 by Sir Archie, made three or four seasons in south-west Ohio. 

 The stock is stylish, superior quality ; both of the horses aie now 

 in Western Illinois and are greatly prized for their produce.
