Leander S. Drew, Farr's Corners, Wis., writes : " He was one of the best 

 stock-getters. His stallions were unlucky ; the one Kidder raised got into 

 bad hands. Job Mills raised one ; it was burned up in Iowa. A. Ackerman 

 had one, that got kicked and ruined ; but his mares have done better, and are 

 the dams of some of our best horses". 



C. A. Lewis, Calliope, la., writes : "He took ist premium at Wisconsin 

 State fair at Janesville, also at many county fairs. When 18 he was still king 

 of the turf, beating all stallions that fall at the county fairs. Disposition 

 quiet and gentle, quick, lively stepper, very honest, always keeping at his 

 trot without a break. Stock very fine. His time about 2 140".
