HINTS TO PROSPECTIVE BUYERS.
Tho Ordinary Man Can't Distinguish
Tho Good Points OF Animals.

Did you ever buy horse? Did it ever
strike you that you couldn't tell runner
from a trotter, or hackney from pony.
or a coach horse from PAGER? And yet
there are points about fine horses that
mark each as typical of class,
The distinctions In breeds are many.
and the eye of the good horseman can
class an animal the moment he catches
glimpse of it. He judges it by conforma-
ton, by action, by size, by disposition.
He can tell in an instant if horse is
"bloodlike. and by the contour of the head
can almost call off the pedigree. The
thorough or running-bred horse is best
judged in his racing form. He is lighter
boned than the trotte-, or in fact than the
horses of any other breed, more
nervous in disposition, higher strung,
and has cleaner and finer look.
He has what in racing parlance
we term "bloodlike" look. When used for
breeding purposes his form is different and
he is somewhat more difficult to judge.
But in racing form his fine ears, well con-
formed head, light neck, the tine coat on
his body and the lack of hair on the fet.
locks tell you on the instant that he can

progenitor of trotting stars in this coun-
try. In fact, Nancy Hanks, Stamboul,
kremlin, Sunol, Maud S., Arion p, Palo
Alto and others as famous, trace to that
animal.
In conformation, the trotter is one of
more substance, of more bone and per-
haps less finish than marks the great
thoroughbred. In fact, he partakes some
what of the form of what is now known
as the hackney, and in reality the trotter
must be regarded as an intermediate step
between the thoroughbred and the hack
ney. The highest type of the trotter
has knee action between the stiff
kneed action of the thoroughbred
trotter when on a trotting gait, and the
excessive knee action of the hackney
Flying Jlb Is in reality a trotting-bred
horse, and, while a PAGER, has more of the
typical formation Of a trotter than of his
pacing class. And | might say here that
the pacing formation is essentially that of

popularity of sloping shoulder.
and more particularly of a droop-
ing rumr. But our fastest PAGERS
can almost all be traced back
to Hambetonian, and I include in. this
generalization both Flying Jib and Direct.
But the trotter is not really an established
type. The Old saying concerning trotter,
he trots IN ali shapes" still holds good.
But We are approaching a type, and that
very rapidly. Senator Stanford and
others have done much 10 bring this
about, and the lover of the horse has
much 10 thank these men for.
The type of the trotter when he comes

trace his ancestry down through seven or
more generations of thoroughbred lines.
I consider Don Alonzo, who sold recently
/ know of. Eurus is another fine type of
the class. Then, too, the action tells you
the difference. In the thoroughbred it is
generally low and of the 'daisy-cutting"
order, whether 1t be at the trotting gait or
at the galop. Here in America We use
the thoroughbred exclusively for racing,
but in England cavalry officers take espe-
cial delight in pressing the fine animal
into their active service.
The story of the American trotting
horse is one of intense interest to the pub
lie, for he is peculiarly an American insti-
tuition. By way of preliminary may say
that he is descendant originally from
cross Of the old English Norfolk trotter
family with the thoroughbred. Imported
Messenger is the founder of the fam
lily in America, and he was an
animal born with the trotting instinct
developed to an almost abnormal degree.
And almost every trotting horse in Amer
lea today traces back directly to him. The
family was then improved by the importa-
ton of Bellfounder, who was in reality a
Norfolk trotter. with record, so tradition
has it, of seventeen miles an hour. But
the most potent and the most fashionable
branch of the trotting horse family
developed from the Charles Kent mare,
sired by Bellfounder and out of a mare of
Messenger descent, bred to Abdallah, a
great-grandsOn of imported Messenger.
The result Of this union was Rysdyk's
Hambletonian, far and away the greatest

an indecent restlessnesS, and the adyer-
tisements In the papers 60 to show that
this sweeping list Is no lie. Atop OF the
fret and the stampede the tingling self
consciousness of new people makes them
take a sort of perverted pride in the futile
racket that sends up the death rate-a
child's delight in the blare and the dust of
the march of progress. Is it not dis
tinctively American 2" 1t is, and it is not.
If the cities were all America. as they pre-
tend, fifty years would see the march of
progress brought to standstill, AS loco
motive is stopped by heated bearings.
Down in the meadow the moving ma
chine has checked, and the horses are
shaking themselves. The last OF the sun
light leaves the top of Monadnock, and
four miles away Main street lights her
electric lamps. 1t is band night in Main
street, and the folks from Putney, from
Marlboro, from Guiiford and even Pew
Fame will drive in their well-fiIled wagons
to hear music and look at the ex-president.
Over the shoulder of the meadow two
men come up very slowly, their hats oil,
and their arms swinging loosely at their
sides. They do not hurry, they have not
hurried. and they never will hurry, for
they are of the country-bankerso OF the flesh
and blood of the ever bankrupt cities.
Their children may yet be pale summer
boarders. as the borders city-bred weed
may take over their farms. From the
plough to the pavement goes man, but to
the plough he returns at last.

They do not appear in the city papers,
