H^MPTOIS" STOCK. 



HAMPTON. 



This horse is a splendid golden chestnut, with dapples, 

 •stands 16| hands high, and weighs twelve hundred 

 pounds, and is said to be " not only qjpie of the best bred, 

 but one of the finest looking horses in America." He is 

 coming rapidly into favor, and is destined, we. think, to 

 become the progenitor of a distinct and valuable 

 family of horses. He was foaled in 1861, bred by 

 Wm. Sparks, in Orange County, New York, got by 

 Jupiter, he by Long Island Black Hawk, by Andrew 

 Jackson, by Young Bashaw, he by Imported Bashaw. 

 The dam of Hampton was by Kildare, he by Imported 

 Scotch Highlander. He was brought to Maine in 1865, 

 and is now owned by J. S. Lyford, Esq., of Lewiston. 

 Perhaps the best of his get is the promising young stal- 

 lion, 



KING WILLIAM.

 got by Hampton, dam, Witherell Messenger, and is now 

 owned by J. "W. McDufEee, Esq., of Lewiston.
