To Horse Breeders.
By W. II. ALLEMAN.

In the series OF horse articles pub
lishcd in the Howard County Times,
signed John H. Beajl..' supposed
by the public to be dictated by his
father, 1 notice they assume that !
mad answered their first article in
the Times, aud convey the idea 10
the public that / was the aggrtssor
and the slanderer. Twill say noted
in my first article in the PLAIN DEAL

first answer article in the Chicago
Horseman. las the article in the
Times indicated series OF articles)
and when they got their articles
completed l would answer them.
which | intend to do. l will state
substantially the cause that led to
this controversy.
First, my attention was called to
an article in the Chicago Horseman,
signei"J H. Beadie," saying, I'VE have
Il grandson OF Swigart here (allud-
ing to Western Lad) who Is u good
locker, although uncertain bred
When he learned that had seen the
article he claimed it was q misprint.
| waited for two weeks Oh more to
give him time TO correct the error.
As he did not do it ordered y legal
action to BE- commenced against him.
Then he corrected the error (as he
claimed it to bej by saying Western
Lad is registered Us represented, al
though We do not prize or recon-
mend that kind OF breeding
lst. II IL was u misprint, which
was classifying my horse aud wrong
ing me, why did he not ut once cor
rect it and not wait for trouble.
End. What right has he to assume
that he is the public, and say 1--WE
do not like that kind Of breeding"
or did he include his father and
brother. Id, or who did he include?
AS is well known Western Lad has
had the patronage OF the public for
about all of the fine horse business
since he commenced business here.
As their first article in the Times
said they would take up Western
Lad first rs he appeared to be the
flvoiite horse here, 50 that SINNERS
the public down t. about Mr.. Beadle
and his two sons. They are the pub

submit to the public, and ask is it
not IL slur, an insult or aggression?
Next / noticed an article in the
Times conveying the idea to the
public that they had secured some
great, able horseman to solve the
entire breeding problem, done to
make it appear that some outsider
was doing this in the interest OF
breeders, when any one with the
it was the Beadle faction writing in
the interest of their own hOi SEES.
And not content to attack my horse,
they convey the idea to the public
that I was some kind OF il street loaf
er giving cheap slang, misrepresent-
ing my own horse and every other
hors. in comp .tition. The dates OF
their articles show that their three
articles were published before my
first .rticle came out. After the
publication Of their third article /
gave history Of Wilbur Hambleton-
ian aud a few comments ON Wood
burn, which came out in the PLAIN
DEALER OF March Goth, stating sub
stantially the facts. which they have
not and cannot successfully contra.
dit. Then they commenced crying
To the public, trying to enlist SYM
pathy by claiming I was the ag
gressor; had slandered their horses
by telling the plain, simple Truth.
Now will submit to the public, who
is the aggressor, cheap talker and
slanderer? They appear to assume
that am in the heat OF passion, etc.
will say am perfectly cool con-
filming my articles to facts, and il any
argument in them, I hope they will
cody abide by them and not look
upon them as SANDER and heat OF
passion, before they succeed in con.
tradictiDg them, and not try to base
their argument upon assumption and
fiction, rs in assuming that / might
breed Western Lad to u Norman and
If mare produce cross back to his
own daughter and get standard
animal. Look at such argument.
To prove standard horse might be
worthless. is that argument SANDER
or shame? And all their arguments
are based upon about such assump-
ton. This troubled faction have
discovered wonderful mistake in
my answer to article signed John
McDonough" in showing the crosses
running through the Hambletonian
family on both sides OF Western Lad.
A mistake carelessly made which
cuts no figure, as Western Lad takes
in on both sides. through s vigart,
Mambrino Chief, Bishops Hamble-
tonian, Harris Hambletonian. and
Hambletonian 2d, and we notice a
double cross Of Bishops Hambleton-
ian; and in addition on sire's side he
takes in through Goldsmith's Alb
daliah, the best son OF Rysdyk Ham
hlctonian (Volunteer), aud Abdallah
the sire or Rysdyk Hambletonian,
all running direct to Messenger. So
you see that is still better than ! had
