Grant. Sense of Fairness.
From the St. Louis Republic.


81 know of no instance that demonstrated
the genuine manhood of General Grant as
well as a little occurrence 1 witnessed at
the ST. Louis fair grounds during the great
soldiers second term as President" said
J. N. Vanmeter of Kentucky at the Plant
ers'. The general was not only a great
lover of horses, but was also one of the
best Judges Of horsehesh in the country.
He had entered two of his finest geldings
in the competition for prizes at the fair
and had quit the cares of his office long
enough to come out here and attend the
show. 1 had number of horses in the
same ring, as did many of the big breeders
from all parts of the country. 1 was sitting
by General Grant when all the entries
were lined up for inspection, and he asked
me what animal l thought would get the
first prize 1 named one belonging to an
Illinois breeder, and the President unhesi-
tatingly Endorsed my judgment. He con-
fessed that his own horses were out
classed and stood no show whatever for
any of the prizes. made the same con-
fession as to my entries. Everybody
around US agreed that we were right, and
that the Illinois mans horse would be
awarded the blue ribbon by the judges
without dispute.
Imagine the establishment of us all,
then, when the judges tied the blue ribbon
on one of General Grants horses. The
general had the inevitable black cigar be-
tween his teeth, and was chewing away at
it. When he saw what the judges had
done he seized the cigar in his right hand,
hurled it away from him as If it had
burned his tongue, and, with his face blaz-
ing with indignation, he blurted:
That's a blanked outrage. and the d.
rectors of the Fair Association ought not
to submit to it. My horse is not entitled
to any award, and the foolish men who
have declared to the contrary are unfit to
sit in Judgment in1any sort Of competition.
Their action is an dnSult to me-
1.-The President fumed around in this way
quite a while. and7then In disgust left the
fair grounds. When his criticism reached
the ears Of the directors there was an eff

piece of work, but. OF course, this would
have brought unnecessary reproach on the
