The Stallion Exhibition.

The Stallion Exhibition.
Those who believe the saying that
1.-THE horse is the only animal which
has a right to be proud" would have
been strengthened in this belief on
gazing at this magnificent display of
life in the stallion parade at Lyndon
vile Wednesday afternoon. There
were rs horses entered and the first
stallion meeting of the Northern
Caledonia Fair associa ton was voted
success. Itwas show well worthy
of a larger attendance.
At about 2 O'Clock the horses were
formed according to class and, under
leadership of the Lyndonville Cornet
band, passed around the trotting
track in review. Four magnificent
Percherons of a white and dapple
gray color were at the head, and the
rest of the entries followed.
AS the parade closed Gen. w. w.
Grout made a few remarks i'll rela ton
to the best breeds and pedigrees for
the horse breeder to work with.
He said that two or three around
one common stove were the best
number to talk horse rather than a
large crowd. In these days when
speed instead of drawing capacity
was the desire, it became necessary
to study the best breeds for speed.
He then went on to show how many
Hambletonian horses there were
who had produced speed, making a
good record for the progeny of this
famous breed, and then spoke in just
ifcation of the Morgan horses who
had been somewhat out of favor for
sometime past. 1t is valuable blood.
We want to ''get there" on speed
with the rest, and if the Morgan
horses alone can not fill the bill,
then let US carefully consider and
have sprinkling of strains that will
because we must get there"
AT the close of the speech further
opportunity was given to inspect
the various horses and talk horse"
to the hearts content of the most
devoted The show furnished val
liable opportunity to see some of the
best of Vermont's excellent stock.
