Breeding Morgan Horses 7 
at the World’s Columbian Exposition at Chicago, in 1893. He also 
received the very high compliment of being one of the eight horses 
selected by Max Lansberg, the noted sculptor, sent out by the 
German Government to take models of such American horses at the 
World’s Fair as he thought desirable for use in the agricultural 
schools of Germany. Denning Allen was sired by Honest Allen 73, 
a son of Ethan Allen 50. 
General Gates 666 was bred by the late Joseph Battell. He was 
sired by Denning Allen 74 out of Fanny Scott. General Gates was

Fic. 6.—Scotland 6000. Morgan stallion sired by General Gates 666; dam, Highland Mary 01033 
foaled May 6, 1894, and was a black, without white marks. Colonel 
Battell’s catalogue says of him: 
In a remarkable degree he resembles Black Hawk, and to a remarkable degree 
also his colts have the graceful contour of form that was so marked in the colts 
of Black Hawk. General Gates has a fine trotting action, but was never trained 
for speed. He is a horse of the highest finish and extraordinary beauty. 
He was a full brother to Lord Clinton, whose trotting race record 
was 2.0834. General Gates was at the head of the Government stud 
for many years. He died in 1920. His best-known progeny were 
Ara Gates 082, winner of first prize at the Vermont State Fair in 
1911 and 1912; Carrie Gates 0390 and Maggie Gates 01612, both 
winners at the St. Louis World’s Fair; Helen Gates 01014, which 
sold for $500 as a yearling; Scotland 6000, winner of many pre- 
miums; also Bennington 5693, Red Oak 5249, Linsley 7233, Castor 
5833, and Gladstone 6922, which will be discussed later.
