Morgans have influenced other major American breeds including the American Quarter Horse Tennessee Walking Horse and the Standardbred. During the 19th and 20th centuries they were exported to other countries including England where a Morgan stallion influenced the breeding of the Hackney horse. In 1907 the US Department of Agriculture established the US Morgan Horse Farm near Middlebury Vermont for the purpose of perpetuating and improving the Morgan breed; the farm was later transferred to the University of Vermont. The first breed registry was established in 1909 and since then many organizations in the US Europe and Oceania have developed.

191397593Richmond Park South Australia: July 12 1913. 1913. Good. - Approximately 300 words penned on 4 sides of a folded sheet of creamy white paper with each page measuring 8 inches high by 5 inches wide. "Richmond Park" is printed at the top of the cover page. Aldridge has altered the partially printed date from "1903" to "1913". Started on the cover page Aldridge has continued his letter on the last page to then conclude on the inner 2 leaves. Signed "J.H. Aldridge" on the inner leaf. Once apparently mounted along the inner edge with glue or tape there are heavy stains with remnants of glue to the inner edge of the first and last page. There is a tiny tear along the fold with some light brown stains or foxing to all four pages. Good. <p>A RARE LETTER REPLETE WITH HORSE RACING ASSOCIATIONS. Aldridge writes to the Marchioness of Londonderry praising the horse he purchased from her and the Marquis of Londonderry. "You will be pleased to hear Pistol is keeping his name well before the public.I think Pistol will be 5th on the Winning.List in all Australia of course in this State 'South Australia' he is easily 1st.Londonderry by Pistol Antilles won the Broken Hill Cup a few days ago & the Chairman in presenting the cup to the winner referred to the fact that the horse got his name from his Breeder the Marchioness of Londonderry.Pistol is a most prolific father of winners & that is better than one good one & twenty duffers as some sires record. I believe there is only one sire in Australia which has produced more winners this year." He goes on to complain about the season as a whole mentions some "great loss" that she has had and he wishes the Marquis well and that "his illness worries will be settled ere long" Signed "J. H. Aldridge".<p>James Henry "Jim" Aldridge 1849-1929 was a popular and highly respected Australian sportsman. he began his career as a hotelier in Adelaide. He managed the Globe Hotel in Rundle Street a hotel that was popular with sportsmen. He later took charge of the Grand Hotel Broken Hill and the Gresham Hotel. In 1890 with the intent of establishing a stud farm he purchased at a Sydney sale the Stallion Carlyon. Carlyon was to be the lord of the harem so to speak. In addition he purchased a richly bred brood of a half-dozen mares. Sometime between 1888 and 1890 Aldridge purchased Richmond Park in South Australia from its original owner John Chambers. With the Chester horse Carlyon and the stud established Aldridge rapidly became well-known as a breeder. Carlyon and the thoroughbreds he sired at the Richmond Park stud farm made Aldridge's name famous throughout Australian racing circles. Although still able to perform as a stud Carlyon was badly injured in 1905. As it happened however in 1904 Aldridge had purchased Pistol the son of the famous English sire Carbine. Pistol was foaled in 1899 and arrived in South Australia as a five year old. He was purchased from the Marquis of Londonderry for the large sum of 1250 pounds. As a stud Pistol performed into his 26th year and sired winners of more than 641 races out of 1423 competitions. Up until Aldredge's death in 1829 the Pistol progeny had won approximately 200000 pounds in stake money. In atribute after his death the Chairman of the S.A.J.C. South Australian Jockey Club Whitmore Blake Carr "Doc Carr" wrote: "For years Mr. Aldridge has been one of the best widely known and most popular identities of the turf in South Australia and one to whom the sport owed much of its maintenance and stability. When he ran horses he did so for the pure love of the sport and the applause which always attended the success of his colours was a fine tribute by the racing public to the popularity of the owner. He was an exceptionally fine judge of a horse. The gratifying results which have been achieved at Richmond Park making it stand today so high in the list of studs in the Commonwealth was due to his sound judgment and ripe experience."

1901129531Sydney: Angus and Robertson 1901. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. Sydney Angus and Robertson 1901. Quarto x 64 pages with an illustration plus 8 plates but lacking the colour frontispiece called for by Dornbusch. Modern binder's cloth with the front panel of the original green wrapper printed in red mounted on the front board; text block tide-marked near the head of the spine with the plates a little stained; some discolouration and foxing heavy in places; minor signs of age and use; a decent copy of an absolute rarity. This history of these two cavalry units from their foundation through to the end of the Boer War is 'undoubtedly a regimental record but it is something more - it is an attempt to explain and to some extent combat the unreasoning prejudice which has grown up as a result of the South African campaign against the cavalry arm of the service. On this point Mr. Wilkinson says:- "It is my purpose to show not only that cavalry regiments like the New South Wales Lancers have done equal yeoman service to the Empire in the South African struggle with their comrades in the other branches of the service but that they have done infinitely more as the pioneers of the cavalry movement in Australia to enhance the value of our defence force and to shew the world of what fighting stuff our men are made"' from a review in the 'Daily Telegraph' 12 October 1901. The last 18 pages contain numerous appendices including nominal and casualty rolls. <p>Dornbusch 126; Fielding and O'Neill page 126. Angus and Robertson hardcover

19212571Philadelphia: Racego Game Company 1921. Good in a Poor box. Box: 9-3/4 x 12 inches. Game includes: linen board printed in green yellow black and red 26-1/2 x 26-3/4 inches when unfolded; 4pp set of directions for play printed in black on cream paper; six metal playing pieces in the shape of jockeys riding horses painted black or brown numbered consecutively and housed in a cardboard holder with individual "stalls" for the pieces; cardboard box containing 60 flat circular red white and blue bone betting counters.Based on a description of Go! in a 1922 ad in Modern Stationer this copy of the game is lacking 40 betting counters but is otherwise complete. Heavy wear to box with splitting to all edges and numerous neat black tape repairs; apron missing from one side of the lid and the lid is now taped to the base at that edge so it opens like a hinge. Light wear to directions; some scuffing to playing pieces. Scarce horse racing-themed board game that capitalizes on the popularity of the sport in the 1920s with pieces named Man o' War Sir Barton Behave Yourself Broomspun Gray Lag and Audacious -- all famous racing horses of the era. Using an ordinary deck of cards not included players move the pieces around the board in such a way that "the horses speed up or drop back pass each other and fight for the 'pole' and inside positions just as the live ones do on the track" Directions p.2. Meanwhile the players place wagers on the winners colors and time using white red or blue betting counters to indicate the amount of their wager.Racego Game Company may have been formed solely to sell this game as we find no record of other games associated with it and advertisements for the game only in 1922. The copyright holder James B. Ludlow appears to have been a Philadelphia salesman at the time; census records indicate that he sold a variety of goods but in 1920 was engaged in selling rubber tires.Not located in OCLC although we know of one holding at UVA.

1903F6LCZ7CDMSG7Poissy: Charles Robin 1903. Framed 105 x 205 cm. Large hand-coloured four-sheet plan 90 x 170 cm as assembled. Drawn in pen and ink graphite and watercolour on paper mounted on canvas. Large manuscript plan beautifully drawn in ink and watercolour: a unique witness to Vanderbilt's passion and ambitions. A member of one of America's wealthiest and most prominent families William Kissam Vanderbilt 1849-1920 managed railroads and bred horses. He was one of the founders of The Jockey Club and the owner of a successful racing stable. In 1896 he built the American Horse Exchange at 50th Street Manhattan. In World War II the United States liberty ship SS William K. Vanderbilt was named in his honour.The present impressive manuscript plan represents the horse-racing stable and track at the chateau which Vanderbilt built in 1906 with the help of Henri Guillaume and Pierre Sardou architects. The hippodrome comprised three oval tracks the outer of which was 2400 metres as well as a straight track. A long wall separated the racing areas from the Chateau St. Louis where the Vanderbilts lived called the Chemin Plat now known as Avenue Vanderbilt. When World War I started the racing stables were shut down and eventually sold. Ch[arles] Robin, unknown
