His color is bright bay legs nearly black and his soft
coat lies glossiiy upon flexible skin His head is hand

neck, not too long, but well proportiOned He has
short back Is round barreled with clean set Of legs,
which stand under him In manner that would please

tail towing and well But above any one OF these
points we find superior speed and we have II, too, In

short, We consider him whole, combining beauty,
speed and disposition to excel any horse within the
limits Of the State and we doubt whether he has

pounds; his value 90 800 II Is with pleasure that
