spirit, activity. and force. She was very
nice driver, not very feet, but strong and
vigorous in movements. Her foal was got
by Granite Morgan, is two years of az, OF
an iron gray color, and exhibited marks oi
more than ordinary speed in the horse " hon
fully matured. lic weighs $40 lbs. and is
already engaged at years old for the sun
Of 500.
The mare presented by John Il. Haley is
undoubtedly very largely Morgan, good sizc
and well-prOpOrtioned. The colt is three
months old and got by son OF the horse
called - SIR Charles" and is very hand
some active colt.
The mare presented by Silas Eldcn Of Bnx-
ton, we did not see move in harness, but
enough was sccn of her to warrant the con-
clusion that she was mare Of good quail
tiles for busincss and as breeder. She had
by her side one colt two years old and one
about 4 months old, both very fine colts.
Mr.. Neatly also presented a French marc,
Us breeding mare, but We did not SEQ any
Of her colts, and can form no reliable opin-
ion Of her qualities in this respect. She
was free driving, active mare, and said to
be Heet.
There were but two entries OF two year
old colts. One was y large, rugged, roam
horse colt, a very smart traveller tor ono OF
that agc and size, trOtting his mile in three
minutes and fifteen seconds, Ownci by MIR.
Correycau. The othSr was good-sized,
well made colt, owned by Dawson W. Reed
of Hollis.
In addition to the two year olds already
mentioned there was one owned by William
Roberts Of Dayton, fair size, very pretty
moving and undoubtedly will, with proper
care, make good horse. There was one
owned by John Seayey Of Biddeiord, after
SIR Charles and out Of the Haley mare, good
sized and far acting colt.
OF the yclrling colts there were but two,
both very good colts. One was owned by
Nathaniel Emery, weighing $40 lbs, and
standing good horses height. Although
large he WIS not clumsy. but very nicely
made and extremely active. lie came of a
very smart travelling mare, and was got by
Black Hawk, whose high carriage and snowy
appearance he partakes very largely in.
The other was owned by Hiram Knights
of Hollis, and was got by the Clifford Nor
gan. This too is a very good colt, not SO
large as Mr.. Emery's and of different car
riage altogether. lie bids fair to make
valuable horse, and help sustain The charac-
ter Of Clifford Morgan, US breeder Of fast
horses
A number OF spring colts were exhibited
of good size and appearance, among which
was an Arabian cot owned by John 5. Ed
gcrly, having the marks ola good horse. We
were not authorized to give premiums upon
this ago and can only shy they were us II
whole very good specimens Of the animal at
that age.
One four year old was shown us by Philip
Libby OF Dayton, Of large size and said to be
a very good traveller. In as much as we
were not authorized to give premium for
this agc Of colts wo did not examine this
colt minutely.
For four year olds we think there should
be some premiums offered. A collection Of
all the four year old colts Of the County
would make fine show and we hope some
thing will be done hereafter to induce the
farmers to bring out this class of horses.
They are hardly old enough to be entered US
rOadstcrs or family horses, and there seems
to be strong reasons why there should be
scpcratc premiums for horses Of that age
Let every farmer and stock grower OF the
County resolve from this time till after our
next fair, that the best fruits Of his flock
shall bc contributed to our next exhibition,
and the next York County Agricultural Tx.
hibition will be one of the grandcst and
proudcst days Of the ycOmanry OF this hon
oredold County. Wocan compete with, yea
beat any other county in the state, five try,
in horses for speed, beauty, bottom and
utility. What say, farmers, will YOU try?
