exhibit.
The hackneys this year, under the aus
p!ces of the American Hackney Horse
Society. WILL excel themselves. The hack
ney is essentially show horse and the in
terest in this type has wonderfully in
creased. Next to the thoroughbreds more
money has been invested in the hackney
than in any other horse. The increase in
wealth in the large cities of the United
States demands horse with pace. action.
bone, manners and good temper. TT to
draw a victoria or family carriage. and no
better type of this desired horse could be
secured than the hackney. Another
thing that commends the hackney
TO the breeding public, especially to
the farmers is that he can be used until
four years old on the farm, and then
thoroughly btted and hammered and sent
TO the city where he brings big price. 1t

for such horses in the New York market

horse of the farm. and some OF the greatest
prize winners of this breed have been
raised and trained by small farmers in the
