9 86 THE MORGAN HORSE 



Page 620; Morgan Tiger (Vickery's). P. Bellinger of Mannsville, N. Y., writes, 

 June 5, 1894: "Joseph Vickery bought Tiger Morgan in Elmira, N. Y., of a man by the 

 name of Hoyt; can not give his given name. Tiger Morgan was of Sherman Morgan blood. 

 He was the handsomest horse I have ever seen, a chestnut, and got some very stylish colts." 



Page 623; Draco 2:28*0. We notice that Allen W. Thomson of Woodstock, 

 Vt., in his history of the Walker Horse, Morrills and Hamiltonian horses of Vermont, 

 says, and we presume correctly, that Ira Harrington, Barre, Vt., bought Draco when four 

 months old; that Town and Trow bought him in the spring of 1856, and sold him the next 

 fall to L. T. Tucker, Laconia, N. H.; that Mr. Tucker removed to Royal ton, Vt., in the 

 spring of 1859, where Draco made that season, and thai fall Mr. Tucker sold a half-inleresl 

 in him to J. W. Holcomb for about $1200; thai Mr. Kolcomb look him West and South with 

 Ethan Allen and that he was kept, in 1861, at St. Louis, Mo., and that fall returned to Royal- 

 ton; that he was kepi al Boslon in 1862, when Mr. Holcomb sold his interest to J. R. Poor, 

 and that in 1864 Tucker and Poor sold him. 



Page 625; Draco Prince. Mr. Thomson states that the Gov. Converse mare was bred 

 by Calvin Russ of Tunbridge, Vt., and got by a cheslnul Morgan horse that was gelded 

 young, owned by Solomon Burnham, East Randolph, Vt., and that the 4th dam was a gray 

 mare bred by Mr. Russ, and got by the Samuel Blodgetl horse of Randolph, Vt., a large 

 gray horse said to have been broughl from New York, near Lake Champlain, and that was 

 burned when Mr. Blodgetl's barn at Randolph was destroyed by fire. We have understood 

 thai Mr. Blodgett had such a horse al ihe lime he owned Phoenix. 



Page 634; Woodstock, fifth line. Read 1864 instead of "1854." The dam of Wood- 

 slock was traced by Moses E. Cheney, and is said to have been by the Ira Hood Horse, son 

 of the Kasson Horse, thai was probably a son of Engineer, ihe grandsire of Lady Suffolk. 

 This Engineer was advertised on Long Island in 1816 and represented to have been of 

 English blood and stolen from a British officer in the war of 1812-14. He has been er- 

 roneously called a son of imported Messenger. Mr. Cheney gives the second dam of Wood- 

 stock as gray, by the Thedford Horse, and third dam gray by the Kasson Horse. 



Black Hawk Merrill. Instead of " 1885 " read 1855. 



Page 643; Harry Velox, dam of. Read Tom Crowder, instead of "imported Mar- 

 grave."

Page 654; fourth line from top. Instead of "1879," read 1864. 



Page 656; Winnebago Chief Jr. The name of this horse has been changed lo Win- 

 ford. Presenl size, 15% hands, noo Ibs. 



Page 677; Morgan Tally-Ho, fourlh line. Read 1814 inslead of "1824". Since our 

 accounl of Morgan Tally-Ho was prinled, a hislory of ihe Walker Horse has been published 

 by Allen W. Thomson, Woodslock, Vt., which gives the basis of the story lhal Morgan 

 Tally-Ho was by ihe Moullon Horse. Il is so utterly puerile and senseless that it need not 

 be mentioned. 



Page 678; Winslow Horse, fifth line. The stalemenl lhal Quicksilver Morgan was sire 

 of Ihe dam of Frank Munson we had from John D. Gillell, Adams, N. Y., bul from laler 

 informalion received, we ihink il is a mislake.

 Ihree lo Josiah Richardson.
