The Horse ancL Ifs Histor y

CHAPTER SECOND. ;"

The earliest record of the horse whichwe possess, is in the old testament .Where we find it first mentioned is inthe 36th chapter of Genes is, as exist-ing in the wilderness or ldumea aboutthe beginning of the 16th century, be-fore Christ. Man y commentators , how-ever, render the word which is transla-ted "Haleo™ in our version a? "Waters ,"and thus a doubt is thrown upon thecorrectness of the inference which isthus drawn. However , in the 32ndchapter of Genesis, camels, goats , sheep,cattle , and asses, are each alluded to,hut no horses, so that it is more thanlikely that in the time of Jacob , whosedeparture from Laban is there narrated ,horses were not known to the Isra elites.It is not until their arrival in Egyptthat the horse is clearl y alluded to Ja-cob on his death bed , leaves us no roomto doubt his knowled ge of the horseAlso that it was donie.- i;eafed. for hesjieaks of Ihe horse and his rider , iuihe same sentence . We need louk forno further proof l hat the horse existedat that time in Egypt , and that iu largenumbers, for Pharaoh is said to haveta.ken 600 chariots , and all the horses ,to pursue the Israelites to the Red Sea.

The exact size or form of the horsementioned in Scri pture we know littleabout , beyond the glowiny; languageof Job , which , however, would app lyto nearl y any variet y possessing theusual spirit of the species. Theiltorseof the Greeks is better known , beiuahanded down to us in the writin gs ofXenophon and pres erved in the mar-ble, friezes of the Parthenon , which arenow removed to our own national mu-seum. Of the Roman horses we knowbut very litTle, and at the presen t dathe Arab claims their horses to be thsame in sire, courage and endurancethat existed in Arabia befere the timeof Christ. The Esyptiau hors.e is hand-ed down to us on some of the scul p-tures found in the ruins of Nineveh.These carvin gs are very elaborate andin a high state of preservation. Of theLibyan , Knmidian , and Moorish horses ,siK-h as are allud ed to by classic writers ,we know little beyond the cu rsor y de-scription of .Elian, who says that theywere slenderl y made and carry noflesh. The nature of the original horsewhich formed the foundation of themodern Euro pean slock , i< extremelydoubtful. It is, however , an ascertainedfact that , when the Unman ; invadedGreat Bmam , they found the peoplein possession of horsc -s and using themfor their chariot s and 6n- riding. Af-ter the irru ption of the Goths and thecom men cemen t of the dark ages, wehaye to gro .te in the dark as we haveno light to see with from the 4th cen-tury when Vegetiu s wrote on the vet-erinar y ait , until the time of theStuarts, when attention was first paidto the improvement of the breed ofhorses in this countr y . The horseseems to have been r,-ed mostly inancient days by harnessin g him to achariot and also for riding. The snafflebit was invented by the Greeks , andthe credit belong- to the Roman s forfirst using the curb bit. Shoeing vrasnot pra cticed i-y either the «t reeks orRomans, and r.n !y in cas« of Ismeties,vra ' the foo; defended by a sandalwhich , however , was lipped with ironuntil some time after the installationof the Olymp ian games. The us«; ofthe horse was confined lo war and thechase. These games were held everyfour years, and are supposed to havecommenced about 774 \-ears beforeChrist , and as it was not unti i thetwenty-third Olymp iad 1 hat the horsewas introduced in ihe arena , the birthof horse racing may be hied at. aboutthe year 6S0 B. C. I have tried to giveyour rea ders an idea of the ancienthorses and how u-ed. In the Micc.ecding chapter other topics relative to thehor.se will be introduced.

Anstrn Bos, the old-e*t hotel ' keeper onlone IaUnd, and oneof the 'oldest is NewYork State, was born infa'etanket , in the y a1

1808. Mr. Roe is rea llyan old land mark andwalkin g ; encyclopa ediaof Pathosuo 's history.

A.CSTIS box. .Bis paxenta moved to thi s town when he wanbat 8 years old. The town was -so scarcelysettled at that-time ,'' that bnt abont 40 peb-p'e'fesiaeaTnside 'the "Tillage limits/'andmost part of the land was covered with thickshrub oaks, and at the corn er of Ocean Ave.,and Main Street , stood qnite a piece of woodland. Land nt that time was not worth over£5 per acre , while at tho present day a building lot brings from *&Yi to $2,000. In theresidence where Jtiu ies Wri ylit lives low MrRoe's father fcep t In tel for some yearsSummer boarders were unknown then ,and the only strangers that entered thevillage then were city gunn ers, whofound this place a grea t one for theirsport. The present stand (Eag le Ho-tel ,) was bought in 181o. and whsovery young Mr. Roe was given chargeof the hotel by his father , who a fewyears later died. He is the largest landowner in Urookhav en town. Mr. Roemarried a sister of Charles Gillette ,whose ancestors owned every foot ofland along the country road from/slip to East I'ateliogue. His marriedlife has been blessed with eight chil-dren. He was married 50 years lastAugust. A peculiar fact is t hat al-though he has lived here 77 yea rs, hehas lived in only two houses duringtins time. In New York his name is afamiliar one among sporting men , whoalways make his hotel thei r stopp ingplace" when off on a hunting tour. Mr.Roe never tires of tell :ng the timewhen he rode around the batter y andthat section , in New York , in a farmwagon , and at that time horse andlines were very few , while elevat edroads were unknown. He farms on avery large scale, and is the owner andraiser of Ihe fa mous trotting horse,Stavlinbt.
