THE MORGAN HORSE 



and died the property of B. F. Fairbanks, Winthrop, Maine, August 

 1 7th, 1882. Thompson, in " Noted Maine Horses", says of him: 



"His head was after the Morgan type, clean and intelligent; 

 neck thin, long, blood-like and carried in good style ; shoulders slop- 

 ing and strong; chest deep; back stout and beautiful in contour 

 from withers to haunches ; barrel round and well ribbed back ; tail 

 finely set on and well carried ; limbs rather light in bone, but well 

 muscled; hind pasterns very straight; upper bone of forearm let 

 down low to the knee; cannon bone short; feet blue, tough and ex- 

 cellent. He traveled a carefully-measured mile on Winthrop pond, two 

 men in the sleigh, in 2 132, the last quarter in thirty-three seconds. 

 He paced this mile, but changed to the trot the following season. His 

 success in the stud, always with common, hard-worked farmers' mares, 

 is a matter of record. At the close of 1877, he- stood fifth among 

 sires of 2 : 30 performers. His get are uniformly of great courage, 

 excellent trotting action and have an appearance of high breeding".
