Richmond 7-0658 COLT CONTEST Pkaie Be Pmt You young writers of Morgan Horse Magazine contest stories. BECAUSE: So many of you submitted entries that it was not humanly possible to read them all in time for announ- cement of the winners in this issue. Manuscripts by the hundreds have poured in consti- tuting a tremendous task for our judging board. But because we wish to judge each one on its merits and then weigh against the others competing in that dis- trict we must have more time. The entries have been placed in five catagories and given a first reading. Before the next issue of the ma- gazine—December—they will be read again and again and finally judged. Therefore, you, the Lucky Five in the entire United States should each receive your Morgan colt as a Christmas present. The magazine regrets that the deadline was so close to edition time for this issue but we know that you will understand the necessity for time in this national con- test. If you could see the bales of manuscripts you would be heartened—you Morgan lovers—to see the inter- est thus displayed in the grand old breed.

OUR COVER The Editor's Comments "But the pleasure found in these . ." So sang the poet a half century ago describing the satisfaction of an artist at seeing his painting hung in the royal academy. So might a Morgan owner have sung at the sight of his horse in the National show at Windsor. The analogy is perfect to our way of thinking. There was beauty such as only the canvas can reflect. There was grace of design poetry of motion and the third dimension of vibrant life transcending even the artist's dream. - And beyond it all—with painter and breeder alike was the soul-salving satisfaction of—"This is my own, this I have done with my hands, my skill, my knowledge." But the pleasure found in these, the showing of Morgans in the greatest congregation of the breed in the country, is often dimmed by the little words of jealousy.

  • Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper GONE but NOT
    Tesla Electric Roadster – Powered by Copper Electric-powered cars have long been a dream for sci-fi writers, energy producers and automotive enthusiasts. In concept, this goal seems easily attainable, but for years inventors, entrepreneurs, and manufacturers alike have tried and ultimately failed to design a reliable and economically attractive electric vehicle. While the recent introduction of gas-electric hybrids has brought the vision closer to reality, the all-electric automobile has steadfastly remained a distant point on our automotive horizon. This may be about to change. In July, Tesla Motors, a three-year old startup company based in San Carlos, California, introduced a prototype of its first all-electric automobile, the Tesla Roadster. A true sports car, the Roadster is hand-built, sleekly designed, fast and nimble. It boasts a range of 250 miles with a top speed of 130 mph. The company plans an initial production run of 100 vehicles at a cost of $100,000 per car, with the first automobile slated for delivery in the summer of 2007. Tesla Motors is the first of a number of enterprising companies who are bringing electric automobiles to the marketplace. The Tesla Roadster is also the first commercially available automobile to incorporate an electric motor powered by a copper motor rotor. This innovative advancement in metallurgical technology increases efficiency, resulting in greater overall power and longer operating distances between charges. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN Tesla Motors takes its name from Nikola Tesla, a brilliant pioneer in electrical research. Tesla was fascinated by the potential of electric automobiles, and in 1930 he tested his theories with a car that achieved a top speed of 90 miles an hour.

  • 2021 Thunder Roadster Rules
    Thunder Roadster Official 2021 National Rules (Rules subject to change) May 18, 2021, Version 2.2c © 2019–2021 (Note: Latest revisions are in blue font, and all previous revisions are in green) 1. Introduction The Thunder Roadster Series was created to meet the needs of competitors seeking a low-cost platform utilizing the purpose-built Thunder Roadster chassis and specified parts designed and manufactured by U.S. Legend Cars International. The series focus is on fun, safe, and affordable racing while encouraging driver development, close competition, and comradery between its competitors. 2. Intent The intent of the rules is to establish a clear precedent for discouraging creative interpretation and instead encouraging a ‘showcase’ of driving skill. The series rules seek to eliminate frivolous spending by utilizing specified parts from U.S. Legend Cars International including chassis, body, suspension, brake and engine parts available through authorized dealers or aftermarket suppliers. Other than the modifications specifically allowed in these rules, every part of the car must remain as it came from the factory. The Thunder Roadster is intended to be raced in its preferred class, Thunder Roadster (TR) and may also compete in the appropriate Super Touring (ST) and Time Trial (TT) classes. 3. Sanctioning Body The National Auto Sport Association (NASA) sanctions the Thunder Roadster Series competitions. All decisions made by the series administration are final, except under certain Thunder Roadster Rules 2021 2.2 1 conditions, as specified by the NASA CCR. It is also mandatory that all Thunder Roadster Series competitors have both a current copy of the CCR and the Thunder Roadster Series rules with them during all race events.

To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • Fall 2015 CERVANTES' DON QUIXOTE Prof. Julio Baena Syllabus
    Fall 2015 SPAN 3700: SELECTED READINGS. SPANISH LITERATURE IN TRANSLATION. CERVANTES’ DON QUIXOTE Prof. Julio Baena Office: McKenna 24 Office hours: Mondays 10-12; Wednesdays 1-3, and by appointment e-mail address: [email protected] Syllabus Don Quixote de la Mancha is one of the most important books ever written. No literary critic in the world, or cultural critic, or even philosopher fails to mention it, to analyze it to interpret it. It has been influential to thinkers from Lukács to Foucault to Bakhtin to Girard to the Frankfurt School, and to writers from Sterne to Nabokov to Borges to Flaubert. No other book in the world, except for the Bible, has been translated to more languages, or undergone more editions and reprints, or generated so many books and articles about it. It is, of course, a novel, the first modern novel according to most critics, a herald of modernity, but it is also a book that scrutinizes the human psyche, the nature of empire and domination, the reality of the real, or the way in which it is reality that imitates fiction as much as the other way around. The purpose of this course is to read and comment this one book. Or it can be argued that it is two books, because Cervantes published Part I in 1605, and Part II in 1615… or it can be argued that it is three books, because a “fake” Don Quixote was published in 1614, which Cervantes incorporates in a brilliant intertextual exercise, or it can even be argued—following Borges—that we are dealing with an unlimited number of Don Quixotes.

  • Charles King He Was the Evolution of a Military Horse-Trade,--One of Those
    Van Charles King He was the evolution of a military horse-trade,--one of those periodical swappings required of his dragoons by Uncle Sam on those rare occasions when a regiment that has been dry-rotting half a decade in Arizona is at last relieved by one from the Plains. How it happened that we of the Fifth should have kept him from the clutches of those sharp horse-fanciers of the Sixth is more than I know. Regimental tradition had it that we got him from the Third Cavalry when it came our turn to go into exile in 1871. He was the victim of some temporary malady at the time,--one of those multitudinous ills to which horse-flesh is heir,--or he never would have come to us. It was simply impossible that anybody who knew anything about horses should trade off such a promising young racer so long as there remained an unpledged pay-account in the officers' mess. Possibly the arid climate of Arizona had disagreed with him and he had gone amiss, as would the mechanism of some of the best watches in the regiment, unable to stand the strain of anything so hot and high and dry. Possibly the Third was so overjoyed at getting out of Arizona on any terms that they would gladly have left their eye-teeth in pawn. Whatever may have been the cause, the transfer was an accomplished fact, and Van was one of some seven hundred quadrupeds, of greater or less value, which became the property of the Fifth Regiment of Cavalry, U.S.A., in lawful exchange for a like number of chargers left in the stables along the recently-built Union Pacific to await the coming of their new riders from the distant West.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.
