THE HORSES.
Brood Mares and Colts the Not
able Feature.

Exhibits from the Best New England
stables which Raised the Average TO
Hige Mark.
The number of individual exhibitors
in the horse department was not
as large this year as in several
previous years, but the character and
quality of the exhibits was such as to
make it of unusual interest to horsemen.
The show of brood mares and colts was
never so large or 50 good, and these speci-
mems all had points of breeding to recon-
mend them. The foals were almost inva-
riably notably strong and "stocky." Some
of the large strings here mentioned cannot
be surpassed for excellence i'm New Eng
land stables.
