THE HORSES,
Some Good Specimens Shown,
But Low Prices and Dry Pastures He-
duced the Exhibit.

duced the ENhtbits
The effects of the prevailing depression
in the business of horse raising, caused by
the low price of horses, was seen in re-
duced number of animals entered Tor eX-
hibition. Besides this, young stock in the
pastures show the effect of the long drouth
and short feed, and in many cases their
owners hesitated to bring them out for TINS
reason.
II is pretty safe to say that one of the
first questions asked this year, by horse
men who attended last years air, was for
the whereabouts of Almaboul, the young
stallion owned by A. n Kingsley of Ashue-
lot, n. H., which then, as yearling, at-
tracted so much admirng attention. Al
maboul, it will be remembered, is by STAN
boul, 2:07, the famous stallion owned by
w. S. Hobart of California; dam Alma
Mater by Mambrino Patchen. AS two
year-old Almaboul shows good develop
ment and his owner is evidently training
him with excellent care and discrimination
