aire J. Malcomb Forbes who evidently
believes that just as good horses may be
raised IN the rugged old northeastern
sectlon OF the country as in the west, for
the blood was first produced in the east
DIR. Morrill, liked Arion very much, the.
remarkable two-year old California
prodigy 2.10a for which Mr.. Forbes paid
$4,000 for. DR.. Morrill, says that Arion
is the best made colt he ever saw and he
did not think of but one thing that would
be for advantage to change and that was
his size. He is good all over and as
kind as kitten. Mr.. Forbes's breeding
stable has nothing but trotting prodigies
OF both sexes and great results should
follow his generous efforts to advance
the trotting speed of the east.
