attending the exhibition of this year. Four or I'VE years

by everybody IN It's success and am sure that no one
who recalls the enthusiasm OF It's throngs Of vsters

ton have drawn from tho larger and more generously
appointed gathering OF this year. To an extent somewhat
surprising TO me, the horse In our part of the
country at least neglected in the collections Of
stock for agricultural and stock exhibitions would
il, in Just resentment, this fine anmal-the sup
porter companion and friend Of every race OF men, IN
every OF the word-excluded from competition with
Others at our annual ars-had suggested an exhibition Of
his race unique, attractive, satisfactory and GER
tanly OF less public advantage than others We are
indebted 70 hts exclusion from one arena Tor the happy
supremacy which Of all fairs the show OF horses has
attained cannot much regret his earlier Ill fortune. II

animals the horse has the strongest claims 70 our sym
pathy and care may DO said with truth, though 1t
seems somewhat exravagant, that We could dispense with
the locomotive, to which indebted for facility OF
railway travel better than with the horse He is not only
the patient aborer in every pursuit OF industry but he
an indispensable assistant in OF the rational
forms of exercise and enjoyment and which contribute
most successfully TO the deyelopcment OF the physical
owers Of the human race There is no nation more dis
tngushed for vigorous physical development
OF England and no people, not even the Arabs, have
stronger love for horses. The hunt, the seeple chase,
and women in the pleasures Of the saddle and
tho sports Of the field, sustained for centuries, have
unquestonably contributed more than any other
TO the strength Of limb, ygor Of body, the power Of
endurance and the generous glow Of health which cha
raoteTize the English race. There are people who
would be benefited by infusion Of the Same &c
customs and qualities than ourselves and know
of certain method Of obtaining such results than
that which springs from the culture Of the public taste
and interest for the horse himself No have been
more delighted than have been with the elegant display
OF this year. but confess should very gladly have

possible benefits which derive from being his owner

TO horse racing, and perhaps next to the mmoraties
usually connected with the turf is that Of It's cruelty 10
the tine animals that seek lis honors. The racer
must necessarily strain 10 the last point his powers
Of endurance and strength, and sometimes crown
his Of ambition with the forfeiture OF his
life. But IN this he differs not much from asprants Of the
human family There are nnumerabe instances in every
