of 'Hippomenes'. He had been previously known as the Porter 

 colt. He produced there a marked sensation, not only on account 

 of his matchless style and beauty, but for his remarkable speed also, 

 which was sufficient to make him the acknowledged king of the road, 

 even at that famous resort of noted horsemen. While he has proved 

 himself far superior to any other horse that ever stood in New Eng- 

 land as a progenitor of trotters, yet as a sire of handsome, stylish, 

 spirited roadsters, with speed enough for a lively brush on the road, 

 he has now still greater distinction, and in this respect has probably 

 never been equalled. There are scores of his sons and daughters 

 used as roadsters, which were never trained for speed, and never 

 stepped upon the track, that can beat a 2 130 horse down the road 

 with ease, and have beauty enough to win the admiration of any 

 horseman. The most of Lambert's get are pure, open gaited trot- 

 ters which need neither boots nor weights. They are also free, 

 cheerful drivers, willing at all times to do their best without stimu- 

 lation from the lash".
