book by Dinah Sharpe, author of THE
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 Arabian steeds, where the
tent OF the nomad shelters the mare and
/ colt by the side of the mother and child,
are sbillfully interviewer with the his
tory and methods of breeding the Arabian
horse. The vivid description of the care
tul mating and rearing, as secured by the
( tribal rites, will undoubtedly inspire a
greater love for the American horse, with
as excellent results as those which have
made Arab blood the foundation Of all
the thorough bred 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 a lover Of the bright
beauties, which move our burdens and
speed us through distances. The narra-
/ tive contains a careful history of all the
I Arabian blood and Arabian horses which
/ have ever been in 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,
ana that all good qualities are less or
I greater, according to the amount Of good
Arab blood. The reader will be surprised
/ to learn how much America is indebted
