15s hands high, weighs 100 pounds. He

Forest Park Farm.
II. r. c. Watson of the Forest Park farm
at Brandon again made an important con-
tribution TO the excellence of the horse
show. The animals exhibited by Mr.. Wat
son are the produce of sires and dams that
have made extreme speed, and without ex-
ception they show marked individuality.

GlendOwer stock Farm.
An entirely new exhibit at the Valley
| Fair, and one which all horsemen we're
pleased to see, was the Hackney stud from
the Glendower stock farm of South New
bury. During the last half century the
Hackney has been brought into general re-
quest for all kinds of light and heavy har-
ness work, and its undOubted excellence is
now so thoroughly appreciated that
the breed stands today in the highest
estimation the world over. Ia addition to
the old English foundation stock the breed
is extremely rich in Oriental, Barb and
Thoroughbred blood. Locally it is less
known than it ought TO be. The Glen
dover exhibit was therefore educational,
besides contributing to the fair some an
finals OF great excellence. The exhibit
consisted of Matchless of Londesboro, sire
Danegelt, dam Lady Lyons. Matchless is
the winner of over 20 prizes in the ring,
including New York and Boston shows.
Macmillan, sire Beau Lyons, dam 10y
atty. Glendower, sire DR.. Park, dam
Perptea. Chancellor, sire by Candidate.
Brood Mares: Dorothea, sire Prince
George; Lady Glendower, sire Enthope
Performer; Loyalty, by Confidence; Mis-
fire, sire Candidate. Also two two-year-
old fillies-ViTginia and Variety, both by
| The General.
The animals in this exhibit were allow
ed by all good judges to present one of the
best collections Of this breed, combining
all the peculiar points characteristic of a
| perfect Hackney horse.
Connecticut River stock Farm.
The large exhibit from this breeding
farm again added valuable feature to the
show. 1t consisted of the black stallion
Electmont, 2:22 IA, and seven of his get.
Electmont is by Chimes, dam Cologne, by
Mambrino King. His progeny as shown
were pair of handsome black mares, one
in the 2:27 class and the other 2:24; a
black two-year-old gelding, dam by Messen-
ger Duroc; two-year-old filly, dam Eta
by Patchen Wilkes, a two-year-old gelding,
dam by Palatka; black yearling colt, dam
Aureole, with a three-year-old record of
2:20. This is a handsome colt which took
a blue ribbon az Greenfield, and gives
| promise of unusual speed The Hatfield
stud, under the management of Mr.. FIRE.
lick, was evidently favorite at the Green
field fair, for no less than four of its mem
beers wore blue ribbons at that show.
Accompanying this exhibit was a nice
brood mare, by young Arlstos, with Nor
| gan strain in the dam. She was the prop
erty of Geo. A. Graves q Sons of Spring
field, Mass.
