 Daniel Lambert 62 and as the sire of the dam of Ethan Allen 2d 406. 



Daniel Lambert 62, probably the greatest progenitor of speed in 

 the Morgan breed, was foaled in 1858 and died in 1889 at Wey- 

 bridge, Vt., on what is now the U. S. Morgan Horse Farm. Ac-

 time of his death: 



His race record was 2.42, made when 3 years old, his only season on the turf, and

 1 pacer in the 2.30 list and is the sire of 36 sires of 122 trotters and 30 pacers, and is 

 also the she of dams of 107 performers, including some of the fastest, in the same list.
