 dlesex, Montpelier and Plainfield; is eight years old, dark bay, full 15 hands, 

 well-proportioned for strength and speed and is a very fast trotting horse, per- 

 haps not excelled by any in the country. All persons desiring to raise colts

 W T heelock, Danville, St. Johnsbury and Lyndon, Vt. 



SILVER GRAY 



About 15 hands, built like the Morgans, and said to be Morgan. Brought 

 by a Mr. Wheelock, it is thought from New Hampshire, about 1830, to Wash- 

 ington county,Vt., and kept at Montpelier and Calais. He was a nice traveler 

 and a very beautiful horse. This is quite probable NewelPs Gray. 



Sire of dam of Paris' Hamiltonian. 



BROOKS HORSE 



Lightish bay, good size. Owned, about 1835-45, by Samuel Brooks, 

 Sherbrooke, P. Q., and known to be a Morgan, but we have been unable to 

 obtain his pedigree. Mr. Brooks used to drive him the distance between 

 Montreal and Sherbrooke in a day. This may be the Brooks Horse that got 

 the dam of Honest Allen, and was said to be a son of Sherman Morgan. 



FAY HORSE 



Foaled about 1840 ; bred by Mrs. Fay, St. Patrick (about 36 miles above 

 Quebec), P. Q. ; said to be Morgan. James C. Heaney, Sherbroke, P. Q.,

 horses that ever trod the earth. The Clark Horse was owned by James 

 Clark, his sire was the Fay Horse, a Morgan ".
