In rendering the services of Crusader Jr.
to experienced sportsmen, judicious breeders.
and refined connoisseurs, | an fully persua-
ded that shall not only confer a benefit on
individuals, but may do "he state some SER
pice." Why should we of the interior spend
our time and exhaust all our means in politi-
cal %wrangling about Canals, Railroads and
Turnpikes-bank-stock deposites and facto-
ries, to the almost entire neglect of rearing
the generous creature, /" the child of the de-
sert and glory of zoology" Such a horse
as Crusader Jr.. may greatly increase your
wealth and comforts. For his extraordina-
ry size and superior action, rich color and
sickness of coat, the renowned p~erforman-
ces OF his progenitors, and his own ennobling
achievements, together with the unguestion
ed and unquestiondbe purity of his blood.

sader Jr. is a very handsome sorrel-with
name, tail and legs, two or three shades dark

and a small blaze in his face; he stands Is
hands 8 inches high or common stable shoes;
possessing depth Of shoulder and body rarely
equalled, and | think never surpassed bv any
horse | ever saw, blood or no blood. He
now girths about 20 inches around the heart,
and in full flesh he will measure considerably
more. His shoulders are well ~placed-his
hips are strong and well turned-and by rea-
son OF their approximation to his withers,
presents one Of the very best backs l ever
saw-which is about 19 inches long and
"streRgh itself" His arms and thighs are
long and muscular; broad strong hooks
clean flat legs, Of precisely the right set;-
neat pasterns, beautifully inserted into hoofs
which are of the best model and MATERIAL
His neck rises handsomely out of his should
ers-his ears are delicate and charmingly
shaped-his head good, lighted up with a
pair Of fine eyes.
Crusader Jr. is none of your holiday hor-
ses, with the light form and delicate waist of
adandy. No! though Of large size, he exhi-
bits the quick action Of the saddle horse-his
walk is elastic and his trot easy.
He is not a chance horse-for evidence of
which l would here remark that old Crusa-
der's colts sold sometime about 1894, for from
$500 to $4,000.
