ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 



The following additions and corrections, mostly connected with the appendix of this 

 work, have been made necessary from the fact that we did not personally superintend the 

 compilation of this appendix : 



Page 29. For "Schreger" read Schreyer. 



Page 54; last line of Cub Mare. For "know of evidence" read know of no evidence. 



Page 55. For "Vermont" read Massachusetts. 



Page 187. Honest Allen had a record of 2:171-0 with running mate. 



Page 205; Young Morrill (Perkins'). Young Morrill was sold to Town and Trow of 

 Barre, 1854, and to Mr. Perkins about 1859. A.W.Thomson, Woodstock, Vt., states that the 

 dam of the Lock Goss horse \vas foaled about 1810 (bred by Mr. Goss Sr., a brother to 

 the David Goss who owned Justin Morgan), and got by Justin Morgan. 



Page 207. Winthrop Morrill was sold to Mr. Tucker in 1859. 



Page 244; twenty-third line. Add, after word "pacer," and descended from a long line 

 of pacing ancestry. 



Page 361. Arthur T., that appears in the table of Col. Ellsworth, should be credited to 

 Waldo Chief, son of Gen. Knox. 



Page 405; Cottrill Morgan (Peck Horse). We learn from Judge C. \V. Upton of 

 Waukegan, 111., that the dam of Cottrill Morgan was a black mare purchased about 1835, 

 by Hon. L. B. Peck, of Gov. C. P. Van Ness, Burlington, Vt. This mare was said 

 to have been bred on Long Island and to be of English or thoroughbred blood* Judge 

 L T pton writes that, when a boy, he often rode her. 



Page 414; Billy McCracken. Billy McCracken was sold to O. C. McCracken, now of 

 Stockton, Cal., instead of J. G. McCracken, as stated. His son Emigrant was bred by Mr. 

 Vincent in Winconsin and will appear in Vol. II. 



Page 415; Lancet and Paul Jones. These horses were bred, Dr. O. C. McCracken in- 

 forms us, by a Mr. Moore of Lockport, X. Y., and were full brothers. They were taken 

 by steamer, in 1860, to California, by J. G. McCracken. Lancet was advertised in Sacra- 

 mento in 1862, instead of 1857, as stated. 



Page 416. Jennie, by Bigelow's Black Hawk, was also dam of Patrick Henry, sire of 

 two in 2:30 list, and was second dam of Baron Brown 2:26^, and of Haldane 2:26%. 



Page 418. It is quite possible that the second dam of Dictator was by Baldwin's. 

 Black Hawk, instead of his son, Ford's Black Hawk. 



Page 470; Daniel Webster, fourth line. Instead of "1867," read 1857. 



Page 512; Comet (Bissell's), fifth line. Read Iowa, instead of "Illinois." 



Page 548; Hickory Jack. Hickory Jack was bred by Dan Mace, New York city. A. 

 D. Holt of Palmer, Mass., writes, Dec. 23, 1890: "Lady Litchfield was chestnut, 14^ 

 hands, and an all-around trotter to sulky, pole or saddle, and one of the best of leaders of a 

 tandem team. She was bred in Vermont, and got by Black Hawk. I heard David Hill say 

 that her dam was a great road mare of high temper and could trot in 3 :oo, got by a Mor- 

 gan horse, I think he said Morgan Eagle. In 1867 Carpenter sold Hickory Jack to Jack 

 Chambers, ,for the running mare Irene and $11,000. Mr. Chambers took him to England; 

 afterwards brought him back. If Hickory Jack was alive now, with all the improvements 

 in trotting, in my opinion, he would make Nelson, Jack and Palo Alto take his dust. By 

 the side of a runner he could trot a 2 :oo gait."
