dollars. This horse was a stock horse that improyeel 

 our breeds for bone, size, and speed. Of his get many 

 are of note on the turf, his mares are highly appreci- 

 ated on oui" breeding farms, and his horse colts kept 

 as stallions have been sold at high figures and left our 

 county. One is still here kept for service; this is 

 Black Harry Clay, foaled in the spring of 1859. He 

 was bred by Wm. Owen, and owned by him and Brad, 

 P. Doty, but has always been under the control of 

 Brad. This horse is a trotter, and his get are trotters. 

 One of his colts was sold to Gen. Kilpatrick for four 

 thousand dollars in gold, and taken to Chili. Cassius 

 M. Clay, the sire of Cassius M. Clay, Jr., stood for 

 service in Montgomery, and died in the same stable 

 that the Black Hawk died in, July, 1854. He was 

 driven to death, and Black Hawk doctored to death. As 

 this family of horses all have their representatives at 

 the present day, we must give space and time for 

 those that are still on the stage of action. We will leave 

 this by giving a history of the celebrated stallion 

 Hambletonian and his get.
