either in quality or numbers. In Iowa and
in thst part Of Illinois which contributes to
this Society there 10 some Of the best horses in
the country, both ss res ards breeding and
speed. Our tarnnrs have come to the wise
conclusion that there 10 money and sa,ietsc
tion in good, ell bred horse flesh. and they
are striving with commendable zeal to excel
10 that particular.
For instance there is Simpsons Blackbird.
His equal for speed and long endurance does
not exist in the United Sta.ss. He is a
thorough bred, and perfect miracle Of
equine intelligence and beauty He 10 snug
fortune to any man and . blessing to any
farming or stock raising district in the world.
Look at his numerous progeny on exhibition.
they are unsurpassed iu 9, mmetry and action,
and prove the priceless "a ue of their sire.
Then there is Green's Young Basbaw. -
black ~ night, and perfect as . dollar. To
see him trot 10 the moat enspiriting psstime-
be 10 90 sracstul and bonest-he almost flies
,,ver the ground. His progeny, too. 10 a. much
ike him as one pea 10 like smother. He is .
great favorite among the people Of oil this
.sstiop Of the country. Many Of bic colts are
on exhibition.
Then. again. there 10 Wolfs Tom Hyer. and
We sincerely believe that bis equal is not of o.
found. nor is bis stock much excelsd in this
State. To see him and Basbaw fly over TIE
track and come bowling down the home
stretch is the climax Of plsasurs. They will
be 10 the riug every day. Lady Peosts. owned
