book by Dlnah Sharpe, author OF Tine
Apple of Arabia's Eye" Orange Judd
Company, New York. The careful reader
will find throughout this interesting mar
rative an undertone of love for man and
beast, which quietly appeals for more
kindness toward the horse as mans most
faithful helper. The Arab Beauties rival
the famous Black Beauty. Tie thrilling
adventures Of the Count in the desert
homes OF the ATab bian steedS, where the
tent Of the nomad shelters the mare and
colt by the side of the mother and child,
are skllItully interviewer with the his
tory and methods of breeding the Arabian
horse. The vivid description of the care
ful mating and rearing, as secured by the
tribal rites, viii undoubtedly inspire
greater love for the American horse, with
as excellent results as those which have
made Arab blood the foundation Of all
the thoroughbred and trotting stock of
every nation, as related IN the chapters
on the horses of each continent.
The explanation that the callosities,
on the inner sides of the legs
OF horse, serve as vinaigrettes for the
acute equine sense OF smell is very in
genious. The cruelty of the check rein,
the deformity OF docking, the blindness
resulting from blinkers are pictured with
all the sympathy of lover Of the bright
beauties, which move our burdens and
speed us through distances. The narra-
tive contains careful history of all the
Arabian blood and Arabian horses which
have ever been III America. The author
believes that the Arab is primitive and
perfect, and reproduces himself with all
mental and physical perfection, and that
all our values IN the horse, whether to
trOt, pace, or run, come from the Arab,
and that all good qualities are less or
greater, according to the amount of good
Arab blood. The reader will be surprised
to learn how much America is indebted
to the Arab sheiks for the beauty and
usefulness Of the famous horses Of the
United States. An autograph letter from
General I. ). Grant describes the horses
given him by the Sultan. The text is
fully illustrated with both small and full
page original engravings.
