The magnifiucnt . horse -whoso portrait we | j 
here pres'e: t is p ;rh ps as good .a typr of the | - 
American trr er of’tho present cl :y as could j i 
be selected hi’the wh 'e coun y. Ho is high 
bred, reckoning his pedigree from some of the 
most famous thorough' Yetis .and getters of 
trotting stock ever in the country. His sire, 
Cassius M. Clay (also sire of Geo. M. Patchen), 
and liis grandsire, Andrew Jackson, were 
famous trotters. The last combined two strains 
of Messenger blood, and his sire, Young Bashaw, 
was famed as a getter of trotting stock. On the 
side of the dam, also, C. M. Clay, Jr., receives 
another strong clash of Messenger blood, hi3

rand sire Chancellor being by Mambrino, son 
f Imported Messenger. He is of a rich brown 
olor, nearly 16 hands high. His legs are clean 
nd fiat, bis shoulders sloping, chest deep, ami 
iack short. Ilehas powerful hind quarters, and 
| a fine, graceful carriage, lightened by a beau; 
! fully set on head, and a fine flowing mane and 
heavy tail. The eye is remarkably full, and hi ; 
hoofs are round and solid. He is now owned 
by that enterprising firm, R. S, Strader & Co., 
of Bullittsville, Ky„ and is the sire of a number 
of horses already famous, and of others who 
are promising candidates for high honors 
upon the turf. S. T. H., in the Turf, Field 
■Drawn and engraved fcr the American Agriculturist. 
nd Farm, says that “all of. his colts.that 
have been " trained have shown themselves 
hr of their lineage in size, color, bottom, 
and that “'even-liis grandsons, like 
e of Old Hambletonian, are showing fine 
promise.” This noble animal combines more 
useful qualities than it is common to find—a 
near approximation to perfection in form, with 
large size, great power, great fleetness, perfect 
trotting action, remarkable endurance, and a 
good constitution. These are characteristics we 
cannot too assiduously cultivate in all kinds of 
horses, and they should always, if possible, be 
combined with a docile and kindly disposition.
