92 THE HORSK. ^ 



tend to make the blood cattle something of a hnsiness hereafter, 

 as well as line horses. 



I will give you a list of stallions now owned and kept in the 

 State, which I consider very superior horses. 



" Green Mountain Black Hawk " will be six years old in 

 July, is a beautiful golden chestnut, 16 hands high, and weighs 

 over 1,100 lbs. ; was bred in Addison Co., Vermont, and got 

 Sherman Black Hawk — who trotted at the Xational Show in 

 Boston, last fall, in 2.35 — he by Hill's Black Hawk, who was by 

 Sherman Morgan ; he by the original, or Justin Morgan, by 

 True Britton ; by Moreton's Traveller, imported ; * he by the 

 celebrated OTvelly, or English Eclipse, &c. ; Justin Morgan's 

 dam was by Diamond ; he by the Church Horse ; he by im- 

 ported AVild Air. The dam of Black Hawk was a large black 

 mare from Lofty by Wild Air; Grand dam Doll by Wild Air; 

 she was a fast trotter. The dam of Sherman Morgan was im- 

 ported, and a fast trotter. Sherman Black Hawk's dam was from 

 Messenger, Leonidas, and Bellfounder. The dam of Green 

 Mountain Black Hawk was got by Gifford Morgan ; he by 

 Bnrbank, who was the original or Justin Morgan ; grand dam, 

 a Morgan mare, supposed to be by Sherman Morgan. 



It Avill be seen by the above pedigree, that Green Mountain 

 Black Hawk possesses the orginal Morgan blood, in such purity 

 as is seldom found at the present day, and descended througli 

 two of his best sons, "Sherman" and " Burbank." 



He combines size, style, beauty, speed and action, in perfec- 

 tion — very rarely found in one horse. Among his ancestors are 

 numbered the best trotting stallions ever known. He can trot a 

 mile under three minutes. 



" Vermont Hero." — Black ; sired by the same horse ; dam, 

 a Hamiltonian mare ; fast trotter and of large size ; owned by 

 A. C. Fisk, Coldwater. 



" Black Prince."— Black ; got by Old Black Hawk ; fast 

 trotter; medium size; stands at $25 the season; owned by 

 A. C. Fisk, Coldwater. 



* This pedigree as given, which I omit, is all erroneous. Moreton's Traveller 

 was by Partner, dam by Bloody Buttocks. See Catalogue of Stallions.
