carried on to very extensive degree,
that finer or better bred equines are ex-
libited. In the stalls adjoining the pad
locks are horses almost worth their

his owners estimation Rs worth S35, 600;
another horne possesses such admirable
points in pedigree and track performances,
1hat commission Of expert judges are

In money than any farm in Delaware.
