Nelson's Beauties.

G. Fl. Nelson, of Waterville, has fourteen
horses on the grounds, more than any other
breeder in the State, and no equine stock
here creates more interest than these ami
mails. Everybody has heard of the famous
bay stallion Nelson, with record with
record Of 2214 and he is attended the larger
part of the time by a group of admirers.
People never tire of looking at him, and Mr..
Nelson may well be proud of him, as he
doubtless is Dictator Chief, another bay
stallion, with a record of 2.253, comes next.
Aubine, sleek brown mare, with a record
of 2.274 is third She recently won second
money in the free. for-all race at Augusta.

record of 2.3Sa. Red Hawk, by Red Wilkes,

lion May Prince, by Kentucky Prince. He
is half brother to Guy, 2.14a. He is 16 hands
high, finely gated. and but five years old.
Griffin is bay stallion, 16 hands high, and
Mr.. Nelson says he has showed $50 this
year. He was entered in the races here, but

The entries in every department are fully
up to the standard of previous years. In
the horse department they far exceed any
thing ever known. Probably the most i'm .
portant event of the day was the arrival of
the Anew Brunswick government stations
at O'Clock in the morning. Everybody had
been anticipating their appearance, and
quite crowd of people were out to see
them even at this early hour. They were
transferred to the stables at once, snug quar-
ters being provided for them, and a crowd of
visitors besieged their stalls. There was no
end to expressions of admiration and delight
at the massive limbs and ponderous dimen-
sions of these animals. The horses sent
here, from the government stud are nine in
number, Clydes, Percherons, Cleveland Bays
running and trotting stock. Seven of them
are stations, and the two remaining
are mare and colt. Mr. Harry
Quinton, who has care of the animals, ar
splendid string of equines. He is one of the
most noted horses in America and is rep
resentatlye OF famous line of trotting stock.
His sire was the celebrated Geo. Wilkes, 220.
Rosalind Wilkes, by Harry, recently trotted
in 2.15i, and Signal Wilkes, also by Harry,
has record Of 2.30. Harry is magnificent
golden bay and weighs 1,245 pounds. He
was purchased by the New Brunswick gov
ernment one year ago last March of Conn &
Pierce, of Kentucky, costing $4500 His age
is 13 years. Coming to the heavy animals of
this string, first are the mammoth Clydes-
dale mare and her colt. She is a perfect
specimen of her race, bay and weighs 1850
pounds. 'She wasn't stunted in her growth"
remarked one of her admirers as he peered
into the door of her stall. The colt was
dropped March 80, 1888, and now weighs $50
pounds. The Knight of Chester, one of the
heaviest and handsomest stations which
ever entered a stall, is pure bred Clydes-
dale and weighs sixteen hundred pounds.
He is jet black and his ebony coat
fairly glistens. Prior is another pure bred
Clydesdale stallion, veritable model
of his kind, and weighs sixteen hundred
pounds. There are two, elegantly formed
Cleveland, weighing 142O pounds, and the
second, Lord Stansfeld, $780, TheIlargest
animal in the stud and which is everywhere
noticeable because of his huge and towering
form, is the Percheron stallion Preffere. He
is la perfect giant, and one Of the largest if
not the largest in the country. He weighs
1890 pounds, yet he is but five years old. An
ordinary sized horse standing by his side is
fairly dwarfed into insignificance Zephyr,
is the second Pereheron, six years old and
weighs 1856 pounds. All of these heavy
horses are square built, low set and perfect
for draft purposes. A horse much noticed
in the government stud is the running stall
lion Sir Peter, imported from Kentucky. Be-
sides the exhibit of government horses there
are some excellent exhibitions by private
parties from the Provinces.

influence OF sixty or nine v grains OF an
