During the last year no less than 10000
American horses have been sold In London
alone. large number are used for the ON

former believing. and possibly rightly, that
the majority OF foreign horses are somewhat
soft. while, a rule, he declares that at
his price he can get plenty Of well-brcd

very well. The fact Is. however. that there
are almost as many American horses draw
