ST CLAIR 769 



day or two ago I asked him about it again, and he said that he himself came 

 from Michigan, and knew something about horses here, and that he natur- 

 ally made the horse come from Michigan ". 



In a letter dated May 5, 1885, referring to the stud bill of J. E. Miller, 

 Mr. E. H. Miller states that Philip Roberts told him that he (Roberts) told 

 J. E. Miller about the time he was getting out the stud bill what the man who 

 brought the horse to California had told him, Roberts ; but that J. E. Miller? 

 on inquiry, 1873, did not remember the fact. However that may be, J. E. 

 Miller issued the stud bill given below in 1856-57, and in 1858-60-61-62, in 

 the " Sacramento Daily Union", advertised " The Morgan Horse St. Clair ", 

 giving no further pedigree. Mr. Miller has no doubt but that the represen- 

 tations made to Mr. Roberts by the man who brought the horse across the 

 plains were substantially correct. 



(COPY OF STUD BILL) 



The celebrated full-bred Morgan horse, St. Clair, will stand this sea- 

 son at $10 for the single service, $15 for the season, every day in the 

 week (except Fridays and Saturdays) at Miller's Ranch, four miles below 

 Sacramento, east of Sutterville ; on Fridays and Saturdays at Miller's stable, 

 Sacramento, corner I and Fourth streets, from the ist of March to the ist of 

 July, 1856. 



PEDIGREE 



St. Clair was foaled at St. Clair, Michigan, in 1845 ; sired by Young Mor- 

 gan ; Young Morgan was by the celebrated Morgan horse, Green Mountain 

 Boy ; Green Mountain Boy was sired by the well known horse Cock of the Rock, 

 owned by Mr. George Bellows of Windsor, Vt. Cock of the Rock was sired 

 by the original Morgan horse, Sherman Morgan, owned at Montpelier, Vt., 

 from whom all the Morgan stock originated. 



St. Clair's dam was a full-bred Canadian, and known as a fast pacer, and 

 owned by Col. Young of St. Clair, Michigan. St. Clair was purchased by Mr. 

 Jones of Detroit, and brought to California, 1849, and sold to Mr. Tilman. 

 Mr. Tilman sold to Presley Dunlap of this city ; Mr. Dunlap to B. Lee ; Mr. 

 Lee to Messrs. Roberts & Olan ; Mr. Olan to William Reynolds ; and from 

 thence to the present owner. 



St. Clair is dapple black, u years old, 15% hands high, thick set, and 

 a fast pacer, and can pace faster than any other stallion in California that is 

 standing for mares this season. A match can be had from $100 to $1000. 

 For particulars concerning this celebrated horse the proprietor is permitted 

 to refer to Presley Dunlap, John Bush, Barton Lee, C. P. Covey & Co., 

 Thomas Holmes, Live Yankee Horse Doctor, Sacramento ; R. Arthur, San 

 Francisco.

Mr. E. H. Miller states that the names of Col. Young and Mr. Tilman in 

 this bill are fictitious; the tracing from Dunlap is genuine. Mr. Miller has 

 an impression that Mr. Phillips told him the sire of St. Clair was represented 

 to have been bay and that he went back from Illinois to Vermont, but Mr.
