The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1891-09-25


HORSES.
The entry list showed an unusually large
number of horse entries. For some reason
a great many of those entered were not ex-
hibited for premiums. Lack of stall room
for stations accounts for this in part. The
society should erect at least 100 more stalls
before the fair of 1892.
In the standard class Paul FGlmer, OF
Durand, had several mares and colts sired
by Frank ROwel. In the 4-year-old stall
lion ring, ID. butcher, of Cofunna, captured
first with son of Louis Napoleon, pewey
* Stewart second with Bonnie Wilkes, and
Z. M. Rowell third with Frank Rowell.
Louis Napoleon carried off the blue in sweep
stakes. Other exhibitors were M. G. Dawes,
NJ. w. Willoughby, and VIM. Saver.
In class two Tod Kincaids iEe stallion
was first in the 4-year-0d ring, and second
i'm sweepstakes. This stallion is certainly
great sire. Geo. f. James, of Ovid exhlb-
tied his stallion Count Louis, one of the best
stock horses in this section. His cots won
for him the sweepstakes. M. G. Dawes, j.
Perkins, c. e. Rowell. f. l.. Brewer j. +.
Hill, NJ. W.. Willoughby, also had prize
takers.

hibitors were G. ID. Muzzy, John Morrice,
n. b. Aiken.
In the Percheron class Jas. Agnew's stall
lion was FIRST. His Clydesdale also won
first, with VIM. Morriees second. The de-

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, ETC.
One of the unique exhibits of road
wagons, carts, etc., was made by the Queen
Cart Co. of Owosso. These goods were
perfect i'm design and finish. This fact has
given the Queen cart a market all over the
United States. Jay Woodin had the exhibit
of the Queen Cart Co. i'm charge.
The Owosso Cart Co. made large ex-
hibit from its factory. Strength, durabil-
ity and ease in running are conceded
qualities of the Owosso Cart Co.'s make.

made an elegant display of carriages. Every
conceivable style was there. w. ID. Royce

arranged.
Hartshorn, Son & Grove were the largest
exhibitors in the line of agricultural imple-
ments. The Oliver Chilled Plow Co. occu-
pied a tent with goods of superb finish, the
nickel plate mould boards rejecting the
light, like mirrors, and the fine furniture
finish upon the woodwork made the pillow
resemble some work of art. An old-fashiOn-
