 famous roadsters, and trotters of some note ; his colts were all picked up at 

 an early age and taken out of the country. He also got a stallion called 

 Morgan Black Hawk, that was kept entire until 12 years old, then 

 gelded. He was quite fast for a horse that was never trained. * * * * 

 Since my grandfather's time our whole family have been infatuated with the 

 Morgan horse, and I am glad to see that some one is looking after their in- 

 terest".
