NOTED MAINE HORSES. 
HEADS OF FAMILIES. 
BRANDYWINES AND OTHER CANADIANS. 
In the second volume of Wallace’s Trotting Register, 
published in 1874, the author, in speaking of that section 
of Canada, from whence came St. Lawrence, Columbus, 
and many other noted sires, uses the following language: ° 
“There is no little interest attaching to that region, and if 
ever sufficient leisure is afforded, I shall seek to explore 
it.” Leisure has never been found, and the mysteries of 
that Utopian country still remain unsolved. 
Maine, as a breeding State, is largely indebted to 
Canada, as several animals, whose performances have en- 
titled them to an honorable place in the 2.30 list, have de- 
scended from Canadian sires. 
Perhaps the most prominent sire brought into the State 
from that region, and the only one which, from the num- 
ber and quality of his descendants, is entitled to the dis- 
tinction of being the founder of a family is Brandywine. 
BRANDYWINE.—A dark bay stallion with black points, 
about 154 hands high. He was brought to Maine in 1853, 
-by Aaron Qobb, of Hebron, who owned him until he. 
(Brandywine) died a year or two afterwards.
