THE HORSES.
A Good Show of Promising
Young Animals.

The Day Of the Vermont Horse Is Not
Yet over, the Trolley Car and the
Bicycle notwithstanding.
The horse show was not up to the stand
ard of the years when horses and horse
breeding were ADJOINING, but it was better
than for two years past, and its encourage
ing feature was the large number of we'll
bred young animals which give promise of
being heard from in the future. Horse
men say the exhibit was encouraging as
showing that the period of extreme depres-
sion, due to bicycles and electric railroads,
has passed, and that there is still an as
sured place for good horses bred for pur-
pose.
The exhibit of j. f. Clark of Holyoke,
Mass, with the beautiful bay stallion,
Linden, at its head, deserved the admira-
ton which it received. 1t included be-
sides Linden, the brood mare, Cherry
Merry, by Calling, with her nine-months'
Linden flly, Linda, and a two-year-old
FLY by the same dam, by Cremlin, 2:074.
Doc Simmons, the black stallion owned
by c. L. Whitney, is a good sized, well
proportional and very handsome horse, of
perfect disposition, fashonably Bred being
sired by one of the best sons of George
Wilkes, while his dam was a daughter Of
that game race horse Indianapolis
G.. II. Phillips of Putney brought val
liable contribution to the excellence of the
show. His yearling colt by Linden, dam
by Clematis, second dam by the Whitney
horse, son of Green Mountain Morgan, is
pretty piece of horsehesh. Mr.. Phillips
also showed two brood mares with Linden
colts and both the youngsters were as good
NV 10 has
known that Mr.. Phillips could breed mich
cows and oxen, but they were not prepared
to see him suddenly come to the front as a
successful horse breeder.
Michael Murphy of the same town
brought down his Norman Clyde Morgan
stallion, Monarch, ira good type of the
solid farm horse. Henry Crawford exhib-
tied his stallion, Bay Aristos, three years
old, sire Aristos, son Of Daniel Lambert,
dam by Cematis, second dam by Green
Mountain Boy.
A contribution which did credit to its
owner and breeder was that of Chas. w.
Miller of West Brattleboro, who showed a
l6-months-old stallion, Harry Chimes, by
Aurora Chimes, which is easily what
horsemen call "highly finished young
ster; a four-year-old gelling by Hollander,
six-year-old roam gelding, Hamlet, by Brat
tleboro, and four year-Old mare, PAGER,
by Hollander. Mr.. Boynton of West Brat
tleboro brought four-year-old Norman
draft mare.
j. X. Ranney of Westminster West
helped the show by bringing a nice brood
mare and colt-the mare by Clematis and
the colt by Linden, and two sisters Of the
mare, flies, two and three years old.
Geo. +. Crowel proved his title as a
horseman by entering his brood mare by
Kent, son of Rysdck's Hambletonian, and
a Linden sucker by her side, a two-year-
old flly by Braintree Wilkes and a yearling
by Nictor-all good animals.
In speaking of individual animals the
three year-old stallion, Glencoe King
shown by F. b. Pierce, Chesterfield Factory,
deserves prominent place. Glencoe King
is by Glencoe Wilkes, son of Alcantara,
dam Patience by Mambrino King, second
dam Corinne by Almonarch, son of the
great Almont. This colt by Inheritance
has all the characteristics of speed, style
and finish. Individually he is horse of
unusual merit, perfect in form and action,
whose merits the breeders OF western New
Hampshire and eastern Vermont should
recognize by their patronage.
f. ). Weatherhead exhibited his 2-year-
dam Maud b., by Motion, by Daniel Lam
bert, an animal whose breeding and prom
Use have been recognized in previous re-
ports.
Geo. W. Pierce has reason to be proud
of his 3-months-old Linden colt, dam by
Grandee, which attracted admiring atten-
ton from a knot OF horsemen when taken
from his pen and given room to show his
nerve, gameness, and high spirits
All were glad TO welcome DR.. Wood of
Mortified as an exhibitor once more, with
his 2-year-old gelding Otego by Fleetwood,
dam Topsy Turvey, an inbred Morgan.
An animal entered for exhibition only
was w. X. Wares Chesterfield, \. H.
bay gelding, "W. H." by birmingham, by
Geo. Wilkes. He made good appearance
when shown on the track.
W. Roullard's (Hinsdale, \. H. 2-year
old stallion by San Jacinto, is a solid,
wel-bult animal.
Geo. IIidden's 2-year-old black gelding,
"Hdden Hand" by Elcano dam by Ben,
is good gated, well-broken younster. p.
O'Brien of Rockingham showed his brood
mare, Bessie Franklin, by Ben Franklin,
with a nice sucker by sherman Wilkes.
Bessie Franklin is also the dam of Hidden
Hand, and she has been premium winner
at fairs in years past.
w. f. Walker of West Brattleboro has
promising filly in his 3!-months-old sucker
by Linden, shown with its dam, Kitty w.
by Phil Sheridan.
AS usually happens, there were several
entries that could not be seen on account
of the pens being locked and the owners
absent when the roOnIs Uera made
