THE HORSES.
They Were All there from AlmRbOul
and the other YeRrIings, up 10 Gillig,
Peters Morgan and TyringhRm.

In beginning a detailed description of
the horse exhibit there need be no hesita-
tion in mentioning first the yearling
stallion Almaboul, by Stamboul, 2:11, dam
Alma Mater by Mam5rno Patchen, the
dam of eight in the list. This colt is
owned by A. n. Kingsley of Ashuelot,
who, with quick appreciation of his re-
markable qualities, paid close to $4,000 for
him last February. Individually and by
breeding Almaboul is the equal of any
colt living.
The exhibit of F. S. Weatherhead of
Guilford included the brood mare Maud
b, by Motion, 2:29, sire of Whist, 2:1S4,
ETC., dam Topsy by Billy Ring, dam of
Mack, 2:20t foal at foot by Victor Wilkes
by Victor Bismark, good roomy mare
that is sure to throw speed; a yearling by
Thought, son of Daniel Lambert, dam
Maud b as above, an intensely inbred colt
that is we'll developed and very handsome.
We should look for extreme speed here of
the race horse stamp. His two-years-old
filly, by Col Egbert, son of Egbert, dam
Maud b, as above, is a nice, shapely and
well-fashioned filly. Mr.. Weatherhead
has a bunch of material that would do
honor to man of much longer expert
ence. Success is within his grasp.
b. C. Davis of Boston has in the brood
mare Kalmia, by Cherrywood, son of the
great race horse Wedgewood, 2:19, ma
tron fit to be classed among the best. Her
foal at foot by Kremlin, 2:074, son of
Lord Russell, shows royalty in every fibre
of his makeup. Kalmia, who proved the
blue ribbon winner, was exhibited by
O. T. Greenleaf of Mortified, who showed
also another mare and colt
DR.. Wood of Northfeld is nothing if not
progressive, and surely his foal by Elect
wood, three-fourths brother to Arion,
2:10, marks a decided step in advance
and gives promise of being future stake
winner.
p. O'Brien's (Rockngham) brood mare,
Bessie Franklin, by Ben Franklin, winner
of the second premium, was perhaps the
best individual brood mare on the grounds,
showing very excellent qualities, and full
of that much-desired adjunct, nerve force.
The foal by Elcano, son of Mansfield, is a
racy looking colt, born trOtter.
c. G. Winchester's yearling BaystOne,
by Freestone, dam by Waltham (Freestone
225t, by Gatling, son of Rysdyk, dam the
| famous brood mare Gretchen, dam of
| Clingstone 2:14, FreestOne 2:25t, Cling
stone 2nd 2:294, etc. was the recipient of
much attention. Individually, he is an
ideal type of the perfect horse. If young
sters like this, full of producing blood, do
not realize the fond hopes of the owner,
then science is a failure.
In the collection from j. II. Wheeler s
Grand View farm, Orange, Mass, Valley
Fair visitors were shown the best speci-
mems from the stables of a man of ample
means and of advanced ideas in all his un-
dertakings. AT the head stood the we'll
known stallion Tyringham by Alcantara
dam by Messenger Duroc. Charcoal is a
four-years-old gelding by Umpire, son Of
Dictator; Jenny Wilkes, an eight years-pd
mare by Red Wilkes, dam GOverness by
Barstow; Clayborn, three-years-old geld
ing by Tyringham, dam Eta G, 2:204, by
Hampshire Boy; Grand View, four years
old, an own brother, and Tyrenne, two
years-old filly, own sister to the above
Such an exhibit from a stable in which
breeding and individuality are the frs
requisites, is great educator.
A. w. Peters of Bradford has in Ethan
Allen "a the most intensely interesting in
bred Morgan living, and he is beautiful
specimen, attracting large crowds eacl
day. To men of the old school, who re
member the halcyon days of Hale's Greer
Mountain Morgan, he was great treat.
fourteen months-old colt by him, fully hi
equal in size, looks into the future with
certainty cleaning in his eye when he ma
outshine his parent-and he will.
