The collection, 1t can be said without

should know that whatever Stevens
says about a team or a horse can be
depended upon. His reputa ion at

word there, as it is here, is as good as

a brief description of the horses
which Will leave Missouri tonight
for Texas wi be of interest 10 all
horsemen and especially SO to the pep
pie of this city where many of the an
finals are so well known. First on
list is the pair of blacks, " Tip and
Fox "a handsome carriage team.
Tip was sired by Illinois Chief and
Fox by Al West. They are closely
matched ia co.or, action and gait, are
very attractive and stylish, attracting
attention from all lovers of horse
flesh wherever they have been shown.
Only short time ago 81, $50 was re-
fused for them aud a much higher
figure will have to be offered before
they can be purchased.
The bay team "Ben 3" and 4" Tom "
winners of the first premium at the
Missouri State Fair, could scarcely
be duplicated if one should seek the
wide world over. They are half
brothers, their sire being Joe Elmo,
and they are so evenly matched that
it would take an expert to find a shade
of difference in them. When they
were driven onto the
track at the state fair,
before the prizes were awarded, Mr..
Stevens was offered an even 81, 900
for the team. He said his price was
81, 500 and 81, 495 would not touch
them. Now he holds them at much
higher figure, and will get it. Ben can
pull buggy with two gentlemen in it
a mile In ESQ and never draw a long
breath, and has been driven to a cart
over a half mile track In 2:47. These
six year old trotters can do a mile to-
gether in 1921. They are a wonder
full pair of horses and win the admir-
alton of all horsemen who have seen
them. They are perfect models, and
by all odds the best carriage team in
this country. They, like all of the
horses handled on the Stevens stud
farm, are thoroughly broken and can
be safely handled by any one who
can pull ribbon.
Chief, by Illinois Chief, is a big bay
164 hands high, for single surrey driv-
ing. He is fine stopper, thoroughly
broke and stylish. He has been han
died carefully and, although high
strung, can be driven by any lady
with perfect safety.
Charlie N. is a beautiful FIVE year
cid chestnut sorrel. He may be called
q general purpose horse, either for
the saddle or harness, and is thor
oughly broken. He has inherited the
best qualities of his sire. He is very
stylish, with clean neat limbs, with .
forearm and muscles that show his
breeding. He has paced a mile in
2:40, and any body can drive him.
Another stylish horse is handsome
five year old roam, . combination ami
NAL for saddle or harness. He can
out rack any horse in Missouri and
can trot in ESQ to harness. His
color indicates Endurance and his legs
speed and bottom.
The "gray" horse, which has never
been named, comes from good blood
