PILOT JR. 2 g 3 



sold my half of Pilot Jr. to Heinsohn. He sold to Dr. Herr, I think, 

 for eleven hundred dollars, and Dr. Herr sold same day to Mr. Alexander 

 for one thousand dollars in advance. Pilot Jr. was a trotter, and I think 

 could trot in 2 135 ". 



The following paper concerning the pedigree of Pilot Jr. was on file at 

 Woodburn Farm, Kentucky, as early as 1858 : 



" PEDIGREE OF PILOT JR. 



"Pilot Jr. was sired by Heinsohn & Poe's celebrated stallion, Pilot, 

 dam Nancy Pope, by Havoc ; he by Sir Archy ; grandam Nancy Taylor, by 

 imported Alfred. This is the pedigree given him by Mr. Pope, who owned 

 the dam and grandam of Pilot Jr". 



At the time this letter was written Mr. Pope was in the employ of 

 Heinsohn & Co., and though he may have been mistaken in the pedigrees 

 of Havoc and Alfred, he must have known what horse got Nancy Pope, 

 bred by him. Mr. Bates, who bred to Havoc, left a memorandum stating 

 that he was by Sir Charles, son of Sir Archy. 



The following letter is from John Funk, son of Peter Funk who owned 

 Havoc : 



HENDERSON, KY., Dec. 20th, 1878. 

 Mr. R. S. VEECH, Louisville, Ky., 



Dear Sir: Your favor of i6th to hand and contents fully noted. I 

 gave you in my last as near the particulars regarding Havoc as I could. 

 Havoc was undoubtedly thoroughbred, on one side closely descended from 

 Diomed, on the other side Buzzard. My father did not breed him, but pur- 

 chased him. He never disposed of him, but he was poisoned and died on 

 his place about the year 1827, as my mother says he died while they lived in 

 the old house, before the brick house, now on the place, was built. 



Yours truly, JOHN FUNK. 



At another time Mr. Funk wrote : " Havoc was a very dark chestnut ; 

 was purchased by my father while on a trip to Philadelphia, and he lived 

 three or four years, when he was poisoned". 



A horse called Havoc, probably this horse, is advertised at Lexington, 

 Kentucky, 1827, described as bay, sixteen hands, and thoroughbred. 



A memorandum made by a gentleman in Louisville, who bred to this horse, 

 states that his dam was the celebrated mare Priestly, by Chanticleer, son of 

 Symme's Wildair. In this memorandum no mention is made of the sire. 

 Chanticleer by Symmes' Wildair is said to have been bred by Dr. A. T. Dix- 

 on, Charles City, Virginia ; dam by imported Pantaloon ; second clam by Bur- 

 well's Traveler ; third dam by Mark Antony ; fourth dam by imported Aristotle ; 

 fifth dam Young Bonny Lass, by imported Jolly Roger; sixth dam imported 



Bonny Lass. 



We add the following interesting letter of Hon. Charles Anderson of 

 Kentucky. It is dated at Kuttawa, Lyon county, Kentucky, March 6th, 

 1879, addressed to J. H. Wallace, New York, and first appeared in "Wallace's 

 Monthly, " April, 1879 :
