SSIIW STOCK. 61 



by a thoroughbred running horse, and this colt being 

 the produce. At Exeter, Mr. Hunt turned him into" his 

 pasture which joined Mr. Drew's, from which he. was 

 _ taken several times. Here in Mr. Drew's pasture he 

 sired the colt afterwards known as the Drew horse, which 

 is pro.bably the only colt he ever got, as Mr.- Hunt had 

 him castrated shortly after, and sold him. The dam of 

 old Drew was a bay mare, afterwards taken to Boston, 

 and known as Boston Girl. (See Boston Girl.) 



Although the statements of different parties concern- 

 ing the pedigree of the old Drew horse are somewhat 

 vague and unsatisfactory, it is clearly established that he 

 was a highly bred horse, and surely the generations that 

 have sprung from him should be conclusive in regard to 

 tha purity of his blood. He imparted the trotting faculty 

 to his offspring in a remarkable degree. He never passed 

 out of Mr. Drew's hands. . He died in Mr. Burrill's stable 

 in Fairfield when 24 years old. He was found in his 

 stall in the morning with his leg broken, and had to be 

 killed.
