&
stylish black horse that was among
4 the best. Ben Boden's black horse
was in this list, but had to be con-
tented with the premium won last
year.
| In draft stations there were several
very good animals. We mention
those owned by Pete LaPete of Bar
ton, E. G. PEBBLES of Stanstead, F..
f. Hobson of Brighton, F. B. Gar
field of Newark, A. n. Page of Iras-
burgh, A. S. Lang of Charleston.
The list of three-year-old stations
was so large that it was divided into
roadsters and draft horses. Among
the best among the roadsters we men
ton the j A. Knowlton horse of
Newport, a Wilkes, with some fast
blood in him; one of the Burbank &
Williams colts, abr CIaudius, No.
5000; f. @. Bodwell's colts from the
Tompkins horse; a Golden colt
owned by Bert Blake of Barton, the
ECobden,'' owned by S. G. King of
Glover; the Frank Humphrey colt,
from the Whitney horse an Arabian
Morgan, owned by Edward Martin of
Troy. Among the draft horses of
this age, d. B. Cushing of Burke
showed a black Percheron which
weighed 1915 pounds and is very
fine animal in all respects. G.. A.
Blood of Charleston had a good colt,
also j. S. Kicker.
Among the two-year-old stations
which we saw and noted as specially
worthy were a fine Morgan colt own
ed by w. E. Rosebrook of Brighton !;
a Paragon colt by n. G. Stevens of
Glover; two Charlie Ray colts, one
owned by Burbank & Williams, one
by Alfred Tripp of Barton; a very
fine colt from the Tompkins stud the
E. d. Hitchcock, Allen Wilkes colt
of Barton, and the O.. II. Gorham
Golden colt from Coventry. There
were large number of yearling stall
lions out; we failed to examine them.
The show of gelding colts and fl
lies, one, two and three years old,
was large and fine, but we cannot
particulariZe. In matched carriage
horses there were five pairs driven
viz: pair owned by Laban Darling,
which were we'll matched and pleas
ant steppers pair driven by j. P.
Baldwin, nice pair that are broken
to drive or work and never fail to "get
there ;" j, A. Brown had a valuable
pair, sisters, after the Geo. A. Bill
horse, that made & fine appearance
in the contest; Geo. Merrill drove q
fine pair of black colts, perhaps the
best on the ground; Milo Hines had
q pair of chestnut colts full sisters,
four and five years old, that got a
premium recognition A. G.. Buchan-
an had a good pair, and Joseph Ja-
cobs pair of roans-good travellers
and we'll matched. OF single car
riage there were six entries. Carl
Farley had large bay that led the
field on the trot, and stepped off like
professional trotter; O. S. Dorman
undertook to try titles with Farley,
but got left, much to the amusement
of the crowd E. +. Hobson showed
perhaps, the prettiest and most valu-
able horse in the list; G.. L. Baker
drove a valuable young horse, rather
too spry for good deacon to handle
on race track Elisha Foster also
showed good horse.
Several heavy pairs of draft hors-
es were shown John Leland had his
heavy browns and pair of good lead
ers, and used a manure spreader fol-
a chariot. John is happy with good
long team. Oliver Valley pulled q
load of stone on a drag with his farm
horses that probably weighed 1900.
The load was lightened to weigh by
careful estimate, 5000, and was
moved short distance by one oi
Flavia Lapete's team horses. Sew.
eral other horses tried the load but
could not start it.
The number of entries of mare.
with their stock was large. We men
ton the Pratt mare owned by Bur
!, bank & Williams, which had fin,
lot of colts as one would wish to see
E. II. Patch showed another that wa
among the best; Nixon Morse had
| premium mare with beautiful Allie
| Wilkes colt at her side. Josep
Paquet and the Valley Bros. showe
) first-class mares with Golden colts
; Nelson Lyman had his brood mar
: among the lot with an Allen Wilke
| colt; Arthur Gilmore and Smit
: Hunt showed some good stock;
. E. KING showed his mare and he
a Golden colt. Mr.. King believes i
s pedigree, and is raising some yer
= valuable colts.
u OXEN AND STEEPS
j Only one string of oxen was form
ed, and that from Barton. w.
Hawkins, who is apt to hunt up aboI
q the best oxen in this vicinity ia
e time. showed a pair weighing $40
e pounds, which no man need 6e asian
ed of F. d. Williams showed tt
next largest pair, weighing 1850
other pairs were owned by Milo Over
s G.. B. Leland, B. M. r. Nelson, Ca
