Statistics pul)li.sheil in Wilkes' Spirit of the Times khow that of the great number of trotters that have ap[)eared on the |urf (some 20,000) only about 200 are recorded as having trotted 50 [•aces or more each. Of these over 50 are of straight Morgan descent )y their sires ; by far more than belong to any other family. The dams if but 85 of these trotters are known, of which 25 are Morgan. Lambert is the sire of nine of these notal)le trotters ; Volunteer six. fo other Stallion, living or dead, over three. Perhaps nothing would show more the game quality of the Black lawks, and the useful qualities of all Morgans, than this crucial test ^f the race-course. The Morgan horse is proverbially the family 6 liorBP, useful in nil ways, choorful, intelligent and faitliful, hrijrlit niu trappy to drive, ready and euduiiug to work, patterned after tli Aral)iuti in form, npeed and endurance.

No one denies but Daniel Lamliert is prepotent and transmits wit wondcrfid certainty. Most any one can i)ick out a Lambert. His sou Ai>iah;un is a trotter and sire of trotters. His son Aristos is a tiottci TtUd sire of trotters. His son Henjamin Franklin is a trotter ami sire Stallions of the family had to be used in the stud. In fact it is clearl manifest that Black Hawk was as marked a departure from tlie Mor gan family, especially in speed producing qualities, as Rysdyk': Hamliletonian was from the Abdallah family. Both of these gvvx sires really introduced uew and distinctive characteristics into thoii respective families. More than one-third of all the fast trotters of the Black Hawk brand of the Morgan family are descendants in the direct male line of lii; sou, Kthan Allen, who was not only a prepotent trotting sire, but wa: •'roi LKN nod uftcM* tli'^ it to till' proiK HPH, wn« foillft •t, Mini ill IHH. liHt luid in:ui^ ,ve l)oon addt'i'j c for tiie yonrj H)ost>d to lie llie W118 8'>()0. hip nnd Kiaiilc.

One of the most significant facts appearing by the above table, is that Daniel Lambert lias already sired nine trotters that liave already trotte(i fifty or more recorded races each, and we have good reason to believe that there are two more, that, if fnllv identified under their different aliases, should be added to the list. The nearest approach to this record is that of Volunteer, who has sired six performers of fifty or more recorded races each. No other horse that ever lived has sired more than three. The facts stated in the above tables are derived exclusively from published authoritative sources, namely, "Chester's Com[)lete Trotting and Pacing Record," with very few additions from the summaries ia "Wallace's Monthly." We know of quite a number of the get of Daniel Lambert, with records and that have won races, not published in either of the above works, and therefore not included in these tables. The table shows that Lambert has to his credit, already, twenty-six with records of 2.30, or better, of which one (Fred) is doubtful, and fifty-nine with records of 2.40 or better, all but four of which are winners. The three living sires which approach most nearly to Daniel Lambert, in these respects, are Gen. Knox, Volunteer and Happy Medium, which compare as follows : NAMES. Winners. Trotters with records.
