put up as far from home with a day's drive as the hest of 

 them. 



Prince. Chestnut gelding from Vermont. A good speci- 

 men of the Morgans ; too high seasoned for general use, but a 

 great, never-tire, all-day roadster. I once drove him from New 

 London, Conn., to the Dimon Stock Farm in Pomfret, same 

 State, some seventy miles over a very hilly road one of the 

 hottest days of the year 1877 in less than ten hours and the 

 thermometer registered 97 degrees in shade, and I did not have 

 a tired-out horse by any means when I got home. 



Cora Linn. Bay mare, two white feet, by Gage's Logan, 

 son of Bysdyk's Hambletonian, dam the fast Morgan trotting 

 mare Fanny King ; bred by B. F. Holley, Momence, 111., of 

 whom I purchased her for $500 when unbroken singly. She 

 came as near being an india-rubber animal as any I eyer 

 owned. I frequently drove her from the " Dimon. Stock 

 Farm " to Providence, P. I., and back same day, some sixty- 

 six miles, and frequently with quite a load one way, and some- 

 times both ways. She lived to be quite along in years, and 

 finally did a good day's work the very last day of her life. 

 She was the dam of the trotting horse, Gov. Dimon, by 

 Sprague's Hambletonian. (See Sprague's Hambletonian, Chap- 

 ter IX.) 



Fanny Kenyon. A beautiful dappled gray mare, and one 

 of the handsomest I ever saw when in her prime ; sired by 

 Ehode Island, 2.23J, son of Whitehall. I purchased her as one 

 of the brood mares for the "Dimon Stock Farm" in 1873. 

 She was the dam of the fast trotting horse, Col. Sprague, by 

 Sprague's Hambletonian. (See Sprague's Hambletonian, 

 Chapter IX.) 



Island Nellie. A sorrel mare with white stripe in face,. 

 no other white ; bred by the author and taken to " Dimon's 

 Stock Farm " as one of the brood mares of that once celebrated 

 stock farm, and was the dam of " Dimon's Morgan," " Plow 

 Boy," etc. 



Peerless. A light bay mare, some white in face, and one
