MISLEAUIXG ME.VD.VCITV.
In tho last number of Wallacc's
Monthly, undor tho hcading "AVlmt
ioois Tiiesc -uortais lio!" appcars a
short cxtracl frotn a lcttcr publishcd in
tho Turf, Fichl uml Fttrm, in which
tho writer confounds tho inaro Dolly
Spankcr, dam of Georgc AVrilkes, with
tho fast pnccr of tho samc natno and
claims that "the gcncalogy introdticed
among horsc-brccdcrs that Wads
wortu's half-bred Hcnry Clay, a horso
that never got a horsc, marc, or gcld-
iug that could trot a iuilc bettor thau
2:30, sircil tho gauic, fast-trotting maro
Dolly Spankcr, tho dam of Georgc
"Wilkes, is situply misleadiug mcndaci
ty." Tho coinmunication is 6igucd
"AVilliam Jackson."
Undor this cxtraut Mr. Wallaco says
"Tho foregoing is copicd l'rom the
Turf, Ficld and Farm of Oct. 30 and
seems to bo datcd at JCochcstcr, Octo
ber 25 Thc suhject would lcad us to
think that this was written froin Itocb
ebter, JSf. Y. Ilut thc intcrnal cvideuco
is very strong that it inust havo origi
natcd in Vermont, for wo don't think
anybody outsido of that Stato could
havo known so little and at thc satno
timo supposo that bo know it all.
Wcuavo introdticed this prccious bitof
ignoranco and concoit as a spcuimou of
tho way in which niany fools undcr
ako to ovorthrow pcdigrecs that Uo
not conform to thcir thcorlos. . . .
Tho real objcct of this attack on a wcll
ostablishcd pcdlgrco will appcar latcr.
Nothiug will satlsfy William Jackson,
whioh wo tako to bc a )io?)i de plumc
tlll tho dam of Georgo AVilko is
shown to bo a Morgan maro. It makc9
no shiidow of ditrcrouce abont tho truth
of tho mattcr, for tho truth is just what
'AVilliam Jackson' aud his principal
don't waut."
This is quito ilattoriny; to us. Aftcr
having criticlsed Mr. Wallaco's allcgod
pcdigrecs as frccly as wo havo for tho
past ycar, to lind that ho is obli:cd to
rcsort to an arliclc in anothcr papor,
which no porsou councctcd witb The
ltixiiSTEit over saw or hcard of till it
appcaicd in print, to llud somothiug
to rcply to, is trtily plcasiug. It is
donbtlcss quito natural for him to as
sumo that wo pursuo tho samo tnoth
ods in our work ou Morgan hoi-6cs iu
rolalion to that blood that ho himsolf
has followcd in tho Troiting llcgistcr
rclativo to tho blood of Mcssongcr. Ilo
may as fairly attributo hia own meth
ods to us, as thc blundcrs ot AVilliam
Jackson, though thc formcr iH hy far
tho tnorc acrious chargc. Thc rogue
whcn followcd always cries "Stop
thiofl"
lt cannot bo bocauso wo havo not
oflon cnongh chargod that U'allacc's
pcdigrecs wcro falso that ho chooscs
Mr. Jackson to rcply to instcad of us.
Ttio troublo is that wo havo furnishedlhc
proof of our charges, whilo Jackson i9
undoubtcdly ofl' tho track. Wallacc ro
minds ua of thc man whoso companion
said to him : "AVhy did you stand thcro
dutnb and lct that fcllow call you a liar
ovcr and ovcr again?" who softly ro
plicd, "Well, tho fact was, about that
tnatter Ididlic; bnt you just lct him
call me a liar sometimo whcu I happcu
to bo tclling tho truth, uud you will soo
tho furfly!"
.AIOItE O.X ULACIC MAItlA.
AVc notice in inlcrvicw with Mr.
Locklin AV linwright that ho at lirst
tliought thc graud-dam of IJlack Maria
was Cock of thc Iiock blood, and
thiH bloud ho tliought Morgan. Thcro
was a Morgan Cuckoftho Kock, but
neither hc nor M.r. liarnum's Cock of
Uock could have had auything to do
with thc blood of this maro, as aho
mu-t havo becn brought to Salisbury
by Mr. Dart about 1820, and was then
quito au old miire. Cock of the Kock
was brouyht to Vergeuncs by Mr. Uar
tiutu about thc Baino tiinc. 1'robably
Mr. Waiuwrighl, who was tlien a boy
of sevcn, rcmctnbers confmedly thoso
two ci.-cumtanccs. Ilo says, at a
second ititcrviow,that Cock of tho itock
is tho lirst natno ofa stalliou that ho
can rcint mber, and that bc roineinbcrs
of it ab.iut tho tiuio thcy got this maro.
Suciug that thorc couhi bo no conncc-
ti'in bctwcon this mare and Cock of
thc liock, wo did not luontion lliis in
inlcrvicw publishcd. In rsgard to
IJlack Maria, Mr. Wainwright says ho
known 6ho was thrco ycars old past
whcn ho sold her to Mr. Jcntiings in
1837. AVc eloscly iiucatiouud to soo if
Mr. Wainwright did not think that
Iilack Maria mighl have bccv but two
ycars old whcn ho sold her, for thon
wc saw that sho inigbt havo becn sircd
by this Young Cock oftboltock that
Mr. Yale owncd in 1831. But Mr
Viinwright was po<ivo that tho colt
was thrcc, says bo kiiows this as well
as ho knows auything. Ilo was vcry
suro sho was sircd by Harvey Ynlc's
horso bccauso ho remcmbcrs thcir
brceding to that horso aud doosn't ro-
momber any othcr's comiug thcro, but
ho wottldu't swoar to it; but bo knotrs
thc colt was thrco ycars old past when
hc lct her uo. Sinco tho pnblii.hed in
lcrvicw with Mr. AVaiuwright and Mr.
Yalo wo havo learned that Mr. A.
Smoad got this Young Cock of tho
Rock of John AVainwright, a brothor of
William Wainwright, for whom hc
worKcu sevorai ycars. xins was a
lightish bay horso with long slim ucck
aud very long 6loping hip, of about 950
pounds wcight, aud cortainly, if wo
judgo by characlcristics, had a botter
right to be tho sirc of Hlack Maria than
the Morgan horso Fox. Tho bill of
salo shows that Ilarvoy Yalo bought
this Young Cock of tho Kock of A.
Smead, May, 1831. We do not kaow
that Mr. Smcad owuod this horso iu
1833 or even that Mr. John AVain
wright did, but thero would soom to be
a strong probability that ho might,aud,
if60, it was cortainly most natural for
liis brothor to havo brcd hia maro to
him. Mr. A. Smcad is dcad, but wo
hopo to got moro information on Young
Cock of tho Rock. Mr. Linaloy in his
work on tho Morgan Horso says that Mr
Yalo sold Kox in 1831. Thjs wo called
Mr. Yalo's attcntinti to at tho inlcrvicw,
but ho did not think it of much accouut
as ho said lio gavo Mr. Linslov tho dato
lroui memory, but ho was very stiro
ho sold Fox the fall bcforo ho bought
tlio Saxton farm. Tho town rccoals
showcd tho Saxton farm to havo bccn
bought by him 1831. Comiug 111 this
way, wo put much coutidonco iu this
dato, eepecially as a long search of Mr.
Yalo's papcrs did not show thocontrary
and did show that his rccollcctious
about thc purchaso of Young Cock ot
tho Rock aud tho Patriot Mossongcr
wcro exactly corrcct.
