10 NOTED MAINE HORSES. 
He was known while he lived, and is now designated as 
Cobb’s Brandywine. He had the appearance of being a 
well-bred horse, had fine trotting action, and wae fast. 
He came from that mysterious region “thirty or forty 
miles below Montreal,” and his excellence as a sire, his 
great speed, and his early death, led to the importation 
of two of his sons, as follows: 
Young Branpywine.—Mahogany bay stallion, 14 
hands high, and weighed about 800 pounds. He was 
bought in the city of Montreal in Feb. 1856, and brought 
to Maine by Henry A. Young, of Hartford. He was an 
exceedingly stylish little horse, with fine trotting action, 
and considerable speed, although from his diminutive 
size, he was not regarded as a first class sire. Among his 
get there appear in the 2.30 list, the following: 
Gray Bill g g by Young Brandywine. 
Dam by State of Maine. 2.30. 
Careless Boy b g by Youny Brandy wine. ; 
Dam of Morgan descent. 2.28. 
Besides the above he got Gladiator, a bay gelding, pos- 
sessing speed equal to either of the abuve, but he went

The descendants of Young Brandywine are noted for 
iron constitutions, are almost universally sound and free 
from blemishes, and althuugh like their-sire, generally of 
diminutive size, are a class of horses that possess any 
amount of business qualities. Among his descendants is

He is a dark brown gelding and is said to be a very 
speedy roadster.
