brood mares to be found anywhere in the
world. Mr.. Shuts wanted a number that
Mr.. Pierce did, and the bidding was fast
and furious, Mr.. Pierce in almost every
instance coming cut on top of the heap.
The Brooklyn man did not know the Cali
foTnian personally, and after the sale they
were introduced to each other. Over
bottle of wine Mr.. Shuts said: you and
your partner, Captain Grifiths, knocked me

OF the association is to collect, record and
preserve the pedigrees of saddle-horses in
America, and the publication of such regis
ter, and TO give attention to such other mat
tiers pertaining to this branch of horse
breeding as may be deemed advisable.
One of the first matters 10 receive the at
tentiOn of this association was the gathering
together Of the pedigrees OF the most i'm
portant animals known as foundation stock
of the American saddle horse, as well as all
me mbers Of established families, and the
publication of the pedigrees of the same in
book form. The following rules, which ap-
pear i'm volume ! of the National Saddle
horse Breeders Register. just published,
have been adopted by the Saddle-horse Reg
lsler people 10 govern admission to their
standard:
l. All animals that show FIVE distinct gaits,
viz: % Walk, t2) trot, (3) rack. a. canter, (5
running walk, fox trot or slow pace. (FOr entry

formances claimed.
NoTE.-A standard horse has been construed
10 mean horse already registered or eligible TO
registry by breeding.
Among the foundation stock recorded in
the Saddle-hOrse Register are many names
well known to breeders of trotting horses.
as in the list are found the names OF Dem
mark, Drinkers Drennon, Joe billiard. Tom
Hal, Ccpperbottom. Stump the Dealer, etc.
Differing somewhat from the methods en-
ployed in the Trotting Register, both geld
ings and mares have numbers the same as
stations.
The saddle-horse breeders of the country
are to be congratulated upon the formation
OF this association and upon the appearance
OF register that cannot fail TO play an i'm
pOriant part in the >upbuiding of what
should become a most important breeding
industry. Miss RUSSELL.
