their first outdoor work on that day. Green
H. Morris had his boys busy for several days
before the LIST. clearir,. saddles and brides
and furnishing bits and stirrup'irons. but
when the snow and sleet arrived Green looked

had a saddle on since the close OF the wash

The horses at Gravosend are u royal looking

beautiful neck and paving the loose straw i'm

plainly disappointed at not getting his mid

cidedly different horse from Longstreet out OF
training. Now he is round and handsome.
and his huge shoulders do not look too large
for tho rest of his frame. He stands much
higher Mt the withers than behind. and in
