 ger. Owned by John S. Carr, Boston, Mass. Kept, 1875, at Ionia, Mich., 

 by A. F. Kelsey, and returned to Boston. Naturally fast. T. S. Lang 

 writes : " I owned the grey mare Phantom. She was a beautiful, fine- 

 stepping mare, got by Homan's Messenger, dam by Witherell, as I was 

 Informed. I bred her, 1863 and 1864, to Gen. Knox; gave away the colt, 

 foaled 1864, I forget to whom". From this letter it would appear very 

 probable that Landseer was bred by Mr. Lang.
