Emily, Highland's dam, was bred by M. N. Vail, Esq., of
Delaware Connty, State of New York, and was purchased by Mr.
Post, at a high price, who owned her for upwards of five years pre-
vious to having her bred to Hambletonian ; has since been sold to
a breeder of New York, and is now being stinted to one of Charles
Backmou's fine Stallions. She is a very handsome, fine-bred
mare, possessed of great speed, power and endurance, and of a
kind and gentle disposition.

I, Alfred Post, of the City of Newburgh, in the said County of
Orange, and State of Now York, being duly sworn, do depose

It will be spen from the pedigree of Highland (which, by tho
way, is iiicontestiblo) that ho in a closer inbred Hamblotonion-
Mossenger than any living stallion in America. And it is claimed,
on account of his being so strongly inbrod, that he possesses to a
large degree the transmitting power to stamp his progeny in like-
ness and form after his noted sire, and to transmit the trotting in-
stinct also in a marked degree. It would bo needless for me to
say anything in favor of this wonderful breed of horses as it is
admitted by every intelligent reader tbat as a family of horses they
have no equals. It can be seen from the records that Itysdyk's
Hambletonian is the sire and grnndsiro of more fast and stout
trotters than all other breeds combined ; the extraordinary prices
asked for his services warrants this opinion, being limited to 30
mar* s yearly, at ^500 each. His sons and grandsons are also
held i]i high estimation. Many of them are held at from $100 to
Ip'iOO each service. In conclusion, allow me to say to the breed-
ers of Canada that I have br(night tiiis superior-bred stallion, for
Stock purposes, to this country at considerable expense in order to
improve the form, and transmit the trotting instinct to our Cana-
dian roadsters, and as Highland and his half-brother, at Prescott,
aie IJie only sons of that noble horse now standing in this Pro-
vince his services ought, and no doubt will be accepted by many.
The following extract from Wilki:s' Spirit of The Times of
"Nov. 25Lli, 1875, clearly shows the estimation in which this noble
breed of horses is held by tho Editor of tliis leading Journal.
"We ]>resume thrit none will venture to diop.ite the fact that,by
virtue of t})o roctu-d, itysdyk's Hambletonian unquestionably de-
serves to rank at the head of trotting sires. He Mas bred by Jonas
Seely, oi Cliester, Orange County, N. Y. ; foaled May 15, 1849 ;
got by Abdallah, son of Mfinbrino, by injp. Messenger. Abdallah,
his si'e, was out of Amazonia, who was first claimed ashy Messen-
ger, theii by a son of Mt ss
