The Best Horse.

Color is matter of fashion as
we'll as of judgement. Away
back in antiquity, in the time of
Xenophon (B. C.l, the Greeks
preferred bay horses, and they
thought a great deal of horses,
as the sculptures ON their noble
buildings and their devotion to
their classic horse races prove to
rs.
The Cleveland bay was breed
in England 200 years ago, and
bay was the popular color in
England. Until of late years we
find that chestnut predominated
On the British race courses. The
majority of the great thorough
bred racers seem to have been
chestnut. The following eminent
winners, as we'll as many more
that could be named, were
of the popular chestnut hue;
Eclipse and PantaIoon, who
each had black spots on their
kinds quarters, Castrel. SeIim.
Rubens. Stockwell. Doncaster.
Birdcatcher. Rs.taplan, st. Adams
BAR Athol, Forlnosa, Hermit,
Prince Charlie. Rayon Dor, and
Bend Or.
Grey is not a popular color
among breeders. but many grey
horses have made themselves po-
pular by their greatness Nature
does not contribute many white
horses, whether they are liked or
not. The same prejudice might
exist toward them, as felt by the
