Harvey Judevine, West Concord, Vt., writes : " His stock here proved 

 superior to that of any other horse in this locality. I knew him well when 

 first taken to Concord, four years old the best four-year-old I ever saw ex- 

 cepting some of his colts. Mr. Knight lived about one mile from my home. 

 The Billy Root was sometimes on the same route with Knight's Horse. 

 They were gaited very much alike. Knight's Horse had no training for 

 speed ; a good roadster, and style was the rage then ; a powerful horse, good 

 knee action, square trotter, quick motion, not as long gaited as the standard 

 of to-day ; a hard horse to beat on the road ; kind and easily managed ; 

 had very heavy fore parts, Roman nose ; was called black, but was not a coal 

 black. I recollect many chestnut-colored colts. His colts were remarkable 

 for kindness of disposition". Died 1848 or '49. 



Mr. Judevine also sent us the following poster: "The People's 

 Choice : Knight's Horse ! The Vermont Champion ! Will be at the follow- 

 ing places for the use of mares during the ensuing season : Mondays and 

 Tuesdays, Concord Corners ; Wednesdays, S. Allen's, Lunenburg Corners ; 

 Thursdays, until 2 o'clock P. M., Wallace's, Dalton, N. H. ; remainder of the 

 day, W. G. Cushman's, Dalton, N. H. ; Fridays, O. G. Hale's, Waterford 

 Lower Village; Saturdays, J. Gage's, St. Johnsbury East. The horse is so 

 well known on the above route, generally, that we deem it unnecessary to 

 say one word in favor of him ; we consider it sufficient to merely let the peo- 

 ple know where he can be found. The knowledge of the horse and his 

 stock is sufficient ; and we are grateful that we have a horse which is perfect-
