MATCHED TEAMS.

anything to be found in the equine
trafc. There are so many good quail
tiles required to make the match that
it is difficult to find them combined in
two animals. Size, color, form, action,
speed, temper, endurance, and habits,
must correspond to make the match
perfect and fill the measure of the pub
lie taste. IF the buyer is willing to
dispense with size and color, it is quite
possible to get temper and action to
correspond. They must be tempered
and gated alike to be pleasant drivers.
The level headed pleasant disposition
that cooperate together as one in spir-
it and action, is the sum and substance
OF genuine matched team
There are two classes Of carriage
horses. The large class are used in
the family carriage, and the smaller
kind for light vehicles on the road for
business purposes. The old Cleveland
bays were the original favorites of the
aristocracy for family use. They have
been superseded by q grade founded
from a cross of Cleveland mares with
thoroughbreds OF hunters. 1t has inn
proved the form and action Of the old
carriage horse, and supplanted them
with the smooth easy traveller equal to
seven or eight miles an hour on the
road. It has increased the speed and
endurance Of this modern family SER
want without diminishing his ability
to carry weight. The improvement
puts on the form Of the hunter and
size Of the Cleveland bays, and sur
passes them in beauty as we'll as utility.
The smaller class are feet-footed
rOadsters, and are great fayorites with
business men. They are not only used
for business, but for pleasure. They
contribute to the cultivated pleasures
Of society, promote social intercourse,
and conduce to pleasant recreations.
The beautiful hOrse-tle swiftest of
the animal race, are cherished objects of
family pride; household treasures that
live in the veneration of their owners
for the good they have accomplished.
Their rapid strides, and easy move
ment, glides over the ground without
Apparent effort, which delights the
mind and gratifes the ambition to keep
p ice with the improvements Of a fast
age, where steam and electricity have
superseded the slow motive power.
AS society advances in wealth and
prosperity, new customs take the place
Of old worn out associations. They
have outgrown the Anticipated theory
Of domestic happiness by gratifying
more wants in homemade comforts.
What was once considered a luxury is
now looked upon as o necessity. Car
riages Of modern invention; they were
not known to the ancients. They
were introduced into modern usage
when civilization took the place of
barbarism. The blow was the great
civiliZer of mankind. Agriculture had
made great improvements IN subduing
the earth before mechanics followed
up with their inventions. Horses had
been raised ready to hitch on to vehi-
|cles as fast as they were invented by
mechanics.
Agriculture and manufactures are
indebted to mechanical inventions for
their most valuable productions.
Horse power in connection with ma
chinery is the great saving power Of
human labor. They SOW, reap, cult
vate the soil, and ather the harvest.
They have a strong hold Of the domes-
tic affections, and figure in the memo
ries of the past. The "reminiscences of
the triumphs, obedience and fidelity,
form lively episodes at the flreside.
Fine matched teams are the jewels of
aristocracy. They are far more useful
if not more ornamental than the tink-
ling symbols of dead matter. The
faithful horse shows his luster by his
works.
In Arabia, where the pedigree of
their exclusive breeds are attested by
their chiefs from the birth Of the foal,
and handed down from father to son
as a valuable legacy to bequeath to
posterity, there is a tradition that the
prophet Mohamet, being DESTROYS Of
improving his stud, caused several war
chargers of undoubted courage to be
kept several days without water.
When raging with thirst they were let
loose to the water. On their arrival at
the stream the bugle was sounded for
the war charge. Two Of the number
abandoned the water and rushed to
the expected battlefield in response to
the bugle. The two that proved them
selves equal to emergency were select
ed for the harem, and from these self
denying chargers descended the most
famous breed Of Arabian horses.-Coy.
