farms being In the vicinity Of Canton, and
some days ago concluded TO visit Myers
Lakeside Horse farm, u trip | shall al
ways remember with pleasure, Thinking
II interesting 70 your many readers 70
hear something Of this model establish
ment, | will giyeyou a brief description,
The farm Ia located about a mile and a
half from the centre Of town, and Ia COM
aldered the most beautiful location about
Canton, II II reached by an elegant
drive and electric car line direct from
any Of the dcpota. On reaching the farm
found numerous buildings, all new,
tastofully arranged, The training barn
especially caught my fancy, aa II has
eyeYbody's that visited the farm. l

United States, The building contains u
one.tCnth mile covered track, twenty feet
wide, also twenty-five stalls, Has all the
modern improvements and 10 finished IN

days travel TO see.
found Mr., Meyer Rt home, and ns
usual, anxious 20 show the stock and
TO discuss his views Of the breeding
problem, Mr., Meyer " firm advocate
Of developed speed IN stock horse for
breeding purposes, and says that horse
that can't go In 2i90 or faster has no
charm for him, He wants the kind that has
what he is breeding for speed wonder
II We don't all have the same opinion on
the 2'90 business
The first horse led ont for my inspec'
tion was the game aud grand old came
paguor Black Cloud, 2l7A, Age does
not seem to tell much on him for ho IL 40
frisky aud looks as young as lac did eight
years ago, whom he went down the line
beating the all cracks Of that year and es.
tablishng, beyond doubt, that hc h one
Of the gomcst and groatcRt race stations
ever foalcd, Mr., Meyer has some twelve
colts from ycOrlings TO 3'yoar olda by the
old hero, and can say 10 your readers
that never saw finer or better gated
colts In my life They sccm to know
nothing but trut, You will hear from
thcm this fall, or am badly fooled.
The next horse ] saw was Bud Crook

After the stud season Il Is Mr.. Mcyors' m-
tcntiun TO put Crook in shape and try TO
lower his present record of 2lSd, which
IL no mark OF hiS great speed, Ra
he has shown quarters In 20i%
seconds, and miles In 212H, so
look out for the stallion record,
when Bud Crook Is started for the word 90,
Mr.. Meyer prides himself In having two
faster stations IN Black Cloud 2n7H and
Bud Crook 2ilS4, than Is owned by any
