HORSE DAY.


Surely the horsemen OF Lafayette coun-
ty could not lave asked for a better or
fairer day for their stallion exhibition
than they had vouchsafed them Monday.
The sun was warm and genial blazing
down through an unclouded sky. The
wind was just right for a vigorous atmos-
phere but not strong enough for dust.
The roads were dry, smooth and firm,
rendering travel a pleasure.
These influences brought an unusually
large crowd, and an extraordinary display
OF horses and jacks. These were lined up
along the south side of Main street oppo-
site the square, and quite handsome did
they look from the careful grooming that
had been given them. All the horses
were OF fine form, well kept, strong, Wig
orous and active. Here was the great
draft horse looking like he could draw
tons of freight, the elegant roadster
showing speed and strength in his well
kept limbs, and there the elegant saddler
with curved neck and splendid physique
denoting the king among horses.
J. d. SHEwALTER.
Beginning at the east end of the line
the first horses encountered were William
V. s62S, Don Roderick 1869, Reform
Tariff 14,177, three noble specimens of
horses, all great and valuable acquisi-
lions to the fast becoming amous Lafay-
cite county stud. William V. is a grand
son of George Wilkes, dam Molly l.. Don
Roderick was sired by Madrid 1886, and
has three crosses of Mamhrino and HAM
%bletonian. Reform Tariff was sired by
Mambrino George 1850, and out of a
Diadem.
ROBERT HORN showed Eglemont by
Wilkomont, dam Kathleen by Buford
Marmaduke. Eglemont is Hambletonian
and Almont Pilot bred and is a splendid
animal. He is swift as the wind and may
be put on the track this fall.
VIM. STARKE, Dover, had his splendid
and attractive horse, Desperation, by
Merchant. Desperation is a natural trot-
ter and this predisposition combined with
the careful breeding OF his ancestry makes
him a prize winner, a most valuable article
to Rave or to breed from.

weighs 1,450 pounds; finest of style and
action; has made two seasons at AullviIle,
this county, proving himself to be a fine
breeder and very sure.
FRANK STEWART is n of our success
full and popular breeders. He had on the
ground Monday his great horse Artist, and
his inimitable Bay Splendor whose colts
are admired wherever known. He also
had two yearling colts the get of Bay
Splendor which would have easily passed
for colts of nearly If not quite two years.
VIM. L. GROVES, south of Dover, had
his magnigcent horse Prize Boy, which
he will keep this season. Prize Boy is
only four years old, 16 hands high of
splendid action and good speed. He was
sired by Medal 159sO1, by Allegro (15170),
and he by Ethan Allen (43), one of the
most famous of the great Morgan breed.
