FEARXAUGHT 2:23^ (champion trotting stallion of the world 

 when his record was made) was chestnut with off hind-foot white, 

 fifteen and a half hands high, and weighed ten hundred pounds. He 

 was bred by Greenleaf C. Brown, Stratham, New Hampshire, got by 

 Young Morrill, son of Morrill and was foaled in 1859. His dam, 

 Jenny, was bay with black points, no white, fifteen hands, and weighed 

 ten hundred pounds; a high-headed mare of great courage and speed, 

 that it is said could pull two men to a heavy wagon better than a 

 forty clip; foaled 1849; bred by Nathaniel Batchelder, Pittsfield, 

 New Hampshire, and sold by him in 1854 to Greenleaf C. Brown, 

 who owned her until her death in 1879; got by Napoleon Morgan, 

 son of Flint Morgan ; second dam, dark bay, bred by Nathaniel 

 Batchelder, got by Vermont Beauty, son of Ballard's Quicksilver; 

 third dam, brown, bred by Nathaniel Batchelder, got by the Piper 

 Horse, a young horse brought from Vermont to Pittsfield, New 

 Hampshire, 1819, called a Morgan; fourth dam, black, a fine mare 

 bought of C. Clay, Nottingham, New Hampshire, and said to be 

 thoroughbred. 



Sold by breeder to B. S. Wright, who sold him for twenty-five 

 thousand dollars to Col. H. S. Russell, proprietor of the Home 

 Farm, Milton, Massachusetts, whose property he died in 1873. 



He was a horse of great elegance as well as speed. His record 

 was made at Buffalo, in a winning race, trotted for a purse of ten 

 thousand dollars, July 29th, 1868. 



S. W. Parlin, the accomplished turf writer, in an article on Fear- 

 naught, after mentioning his races, says : 



" His success in trotting, together with his remarkable beauty, 

 elegant style and superior road qualities, gave him very great popu- 

 larity. In the show ring he was quite as successful as upon the turf. 

 His last victory as a prize-winner was at the New England fair of 

 1872, when he received the premiums and gold medal offered for the 

 best stock horse. His death occurred at the Home Farm, Milton, 

 in 1873. During the last few years of his life Fearnaught's service 

 fee was two hundred and fifty dollars". 



We add the following very interesting letter from J. J. Batchel- 

 der, Warrensburgh, Illinois, relating to the dam of Fearnaught and 

 his ancesters, and dated February 22d, 1890:
