The improvement or American
Horses,

The New York Evening Post. in an
article on American horses, aeysises n
mixture of the blood of our wholly on
partly thoroughbred domestic animals. /,
with that of the wild horses of the
Western plains, and thinks that thus
dlstinctiyely American face could be
created which, especially for cavalry
purposes, would be better than any
now existing OF the wild horses It
says:
Over the vast plains extending
between the British possessions on the
north, the Mexican plateau on the
south, the Indian frontier ON the cast,
and the Rocky Mountains on the west.
over the more southerly portion of the
arid track lying between the latter
chain and the Sierra Nevada, through
on much of California and in other
districts along the Pacific coast, az
well as on the Pampas of South Amer
lea, exists at the present day vast
herds of the descendants of five barb
mares and Stations turned loose by
the Spaniards as long ago az the oc-
cupation Of Cortez aud Pizarro.
Countless thousands OF these AMI
mails are still as wild as the buffalo
and the antelope. Other thousands
have been reclaimed to the service Of
man by the savage Indian and the civ
ilized pioneer In many of their ma
tive points these animals greatly re-
semble the Arab blood from which
they sprung In their circumstances
OF nature and training, they possess
still further points of resemblance.
They are children of privation, and
like such, as often happens, children
OF genius. Fire, vigor speed stay at
long distances, on short fodder, and
for long time-these characterize
them certainly only less than the barb
stallion, if we must make even this ex-
ception in Difference to popular opir-
ION. They possess weight-carrying
abilities which have never been predi-
Gated even of the most famous barbs,
