MAINE STOCK AT CHICAGO.
An Open Letter to the Horse Breeders
and Stockmen OF Maine.

Conference.-The time is drawing near
when we must decide what shall be done
in the way of an exhibition of horses and
cattle at the Worlds Columbian Exhibi
ton at Chicago the present year, and it
is for the interest of every horseman di-
rectly, and every property holder indi-
rectly in the state, that Maine shall be
represented by a large number of our
choicest horses and colts, as well as by
| neat stock at this world renowned exhi-
| bition.
That we have as good horses as are
| produced in the world, goes without
saying. That we have the best horses
all things considered, is equally true.
And if our breeders wish to show to the
world that we do possess such stock-if
they wish to advertise this fact to the
nations of the earth in more effective
manner than can possibly be done with
rivers of printers ink, or any other
source possible, they should exhibit the
best living specimens of their stock.
You may, if you please write thousands
of letters; you may print and sent out
millions of circulars setting forth in the
most flowery language the superiority
and excellence of your stock, but the eff
feet will not be the thousandth part as
it will be to show the truly meritorious
animals themselves.
The breeding, rearing and training of
even the very best of our domestic ami
mails will not prove success financially,
unless we can have a market for them,
hence the great Importance for those
men who breed the best to show their
stock in comparison with others where
there is world wide competition, and vast
from experience.
Had I not, at quite large expense, ex-
hibited my stock at Philadelphia, where
it came in competition with the best of
its kind on the American continent, 1t
would have been practically unknown,
and like the diamond in the hidden
mine. unappreciated, he fact of hav-
ing the best of the kind, and competing
against the best successfully at PhiladeI-
phia and the great shows of the nation,
/ owe my financial success as breeder.
And the direct resultof the exhibition of
my stock at the above shows was a
market for more than one million of dol
lars worth Of stock from our Maine
herds, and reputation more than ma
tional
There is a golden opportunity in every
successful breeders life, and it really
seems to me that with the hundreds of
thousands of wealthy men who will visit
this exhibition, which is the wonder of
the nineteenth century, men from the
other side of the Atlantic, who have
gold to pay for the best of what they de-
sire; men whose love for horse is far
above that of any and all domestic ami
mails; it really seems to me that this is
the sFgolden opportunity for the breed
ers of Maine to grasp.
Gentlemen, lose no time now, but
either come and see me, or write at once,
as we are obliged to secure space for all
of our exhibits soon.
