THE MORGAN HORSE 



America, a sorrel, which went to Boston; all other foals bred by him 

 from the dam referred to were by Sherman Black Hawk, and were 

 black. It is possible this mare was one of these by Sherman Black 

 Hawk, but apparently she was much too old. Her breeding is un- 

 known. Aristos was sold, spring of 1888, to Lester Fish, Rutland, Vt. ; 

 price reported, $10,000. We think he was kept the season of 1887 

 at Plattsburgh, N. Y. He carries himself proudly, and moves with the 

 precision of machinery. Has trotted, in stud condition, a quarter 

 in 33 seconds ; and had the distinction, for nearly eight years, of having 

 got the horse which had trotted the fastest mile ever trotted, H. B. Win- 

 ship, 2:06 with running mate, in '1884. Aristos was awarded ist pre- 

 mium for Morgan stallions at meeting of the Vermont Horse Breeders' 

 association at Rutland, Vt., August, 1888, and has taken numerous other 

 premiums.
