so except the very strong probability that these pacers all came from one 

 stock. If they did so come, the Gravelin Horse was probably by Copper- 

 bottom, or by the horse that got Copperbottom, and Copperbottom, or his 

 sire, might well have been by the original Justin Morgan. 



But however this may be, we may be reasonably sure that the Morgan 

 qualities so marked in the Canadian pacer and trotter, existed there 

 because of his, in part, Morgan origin ; and that the great influence 

 of the Province of Quebec Pacer, or Dansereau breed of horses, on 

 the breeding of the fast American trotter and pacer, is only another phase 

 of the very great and very widely spread influence upon American breeding, 

 known to have emanated from the Morgan horse.
