that the following sires are the founders of the 

 type: 



Denmark (Thoroughbred), by Imp. Hedgeford. 



John Dillard, by Indian Chief (Canadian). 



Tom Hal (Imported from Canada). 



Cabell's Lexington, by Gist's Black Hawk (Morgan). 



Coleman's Eureka (Thoroughbred and Morgan). 



Van Meter's Waxy (Thoroughbred). 



Stump the Dealer (Thoroughbred). 



Peter's Halcom. 



Davy Crockett. 



Pat Cleburne, by Benton's Gray Diomed. 



This wide inclusion is hospitable and prob- 

 ably just, for the blood of all these horses com- 

 mingling with the old stock has made the Ken- 

 tucky saddle-horses what they are, but among 

 them all the Denmarks are pre-eminent. That 

 they should be a reproducing type is, no doubt, 

 due to the Oriental blood in the Thoroughbreds 

 and the fresh infusions that came with the Jef- 

 ferson Barbs, Keene Richards's Arabs and from 

 other more recent sources.
