AMERICAN STALLION SHOW.
Important Action at a Meeting of Horse
Breeders.


At meeting of horse breeders in Chi
cago it was resolved to form an associa-
ton to be known as the American Stall
lion show. Their objects are to improve
the horses of the country, and to give
annually an exhibition to be known as
the American Stallion show. The first
of these shows is to be given in the
spring of 1891.
The association will also be directly in
terested in aiding to prepare a creditable
live stock display at the Worlds fair in
1892. All horse breeders in good stand
ing throughout the country are invited
to become members of the association
and aid it in all ways. Committees have
been appointed to draft constitution
and bylaws for the new society. and the
fee for certificate of membership was
fixed at $40 each.
Applications for membership can be
filed with either of the following gentle
men: S. d. Thompson, Chicago; Charles
Burgess, Winona, Ills. r. p. Stericker,
Springfield, Ills. j. Murray Hoag, Ma
quoketa, Ia A. Gilman, Watseka, Ills:
Charles F. Mills, Springfield, Ills. Archie
Galbraith, GAINESVILLE, Wis; Charles E.
Stubs, Fairfield, H.. j. D. Conner, Wa
bash, Ind, and ". H. Goodpasture,
Nashville, Tenn.
Following are the reasons set forth for
the formation of the organization, to-
gether with some of the resolutions
adopted:
Whereas, The profit in breeding horses
largely depends upon the advantages en-
joyed for selling stock at an advance
over the cost of production, and
Whereas, The demand for stations of
approved breeding and individual excel
lence of the various breeds of horses
largely exceeds the present supply, and
Whereas, The great majority of breed
ers of stations lack the necessary facil-
tiles for meeting purchasers and making
advantageous sales at the season when
stations are generally selected, and
Whereas, The development of the
commercial industries and the rapid ex-
tension of the vast farming interest of
this country will make corresponding
increase in the future demand for good
horses; and
Whereas, The interests of breeders of
stations and parties desiring to pur-
chase the same can be greatly promoted
by the establishment of spring STALL
ion show that will bring such parties
and the stock together at some access
ible point, therefore be it
Resolved, That the breeders and i'm
porters of horses here assembled favor
the establishment of an organization
TO be known as the American Stallion
Show, and invite breeders of the recog-
nized breeds Of stock to become mem
bers of the association.
Resolved, That each of the associa-
tons engaged in the publication of stud
books for the improved and distinct
breeds of horses be requested to desig-
nate representative breeder, making
speciality of the breeding of such stock,
to serve on the advisory committee of
the association.
Resolved, That the president and sec
rotary of the Stud Book association re-
ferred to above should, in the opinion of
the meeting, be appointed superintend-
ent and clerk to take charge of and
make full report relating to the exhibits
of the breeds represented by their re-
spective organizations.
Resolved, That the judges appointed
to pass upon the various improved breeds
of horses exhibited at the American
Stallion Show should be selected by the
Book associations.
