 also owns the stallion Billy Root, full brother to Billy King. He writes they 

 have a good, open, traveling gait, are of the same color and size, and can be 

 driven by a lady or child in all places. Mr. James D. Ladd of Ottumwa, la., 

 writes to "Wallace's Monthly" : "A few weeks since I received by mail a 

 photograph of two Morgan horses, and on the back of the card, the follow- 

 ing pedigree : 'The Billies, bred and owned by John King, Olean, N. Y'. 

 I was very much surprised and pleased to find that two such horses were in 

 existence, wrote Mr. King for further information and have his reply, 

 stating, that they are closely matched in size, color and disposition, and 

 roadsters of great endurance and so kind that any lady or child can drive 

 them. * * * * And I assert here, that if he has what Sherman, Wood- 

 bury, or Gifford were, he has a horse of more value to the masses than Al- 

 mont, or Volunteer, or George Wilkes. This seems such a very extravagant
