428 APPENDIX. 



"was a powerful, strong-going road horse, and a very high-life 

 animal. I drove this horse a great many miles on the roads of 

 Rhode Island and southeastern Connecticut. 



Billy Brown — The Daniel H. Brown horse — A hand- 

 some blood bay horse, and quite a good roadster. My mother 

 liked to drive him. 



Wild Tom. A red-roan gelding of quite good breeding, his

 and held out such till at least thirty years old. 



Black Bess. A black mare with elongated star and one 

 white hind foot, about fifteen and three-quarters hands, daugh- 

 ter of Vermont Black Hawk, was one of the very best mares 

 of her day, one of the fastest walkers I ever drove, and would
