THE MORGAN HORSE 



dam Gray Fanny, bred by David Graves, got by Eureka, son of Long Island 

 Black Hawk ; 2d dam Kate, gray, bred by Miss Vincent, Dover, N. Y., got 

 by Vincent's Messenger, son of Dover Messenger. Owned at different times 

 by Z. E. Ricker, Norman Fuller, A. W. Fawcett, N. E. Bussell, and since 

 July, 1883, by Walter I. Hayes, Clinton, la. He has been kept most 

 of his life at Rochester, Minn., but made seasons at Oskaloosa and Cedar 

 Falls, la. In a letter dated Clinton, la., 1885, Judge Hayes writes : "Star 

 of the West is 26 years old, but is well preserved, full of life, vigorous, and 

 apparently good for years of service. He is a horse of great style and sub- 

 stance, and notwithstanding he has trotted all over the United States, in 

 season and out of season, for some 17 years, he is without blemish or 

 unsoundness. In his campaigns, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific, 

 he justly acquired a reputation for speed, endurance and indomitable game 

 second to no trotting stallion of his day. He is sire of more fast trotters 

 than any other stallion in Iowa. During the two seasons that he has been at 

 Ringwood Park, has proved himself to be a remarkable sire, and his colts 

 seem to be all that could be desired". Died 1891.
