OBJECT LESSON IN HORSES FOR
MAINE FARMERS.

One of the most noted exhibits in the
horse department of the fair is the dis
play of ]. s. Sanborn of Lewiston June
ton. Yesterday, before the President
and public he showed one of the finest
exhibits of horses ever seen in Maine.
II should be an object lesson to the
farmers of Maine in that they are the
ideal carriage horses of today, as used
by the 400 in our large cities. The list
Of horses consisted of 13, headed by the
noted Gemare. which every lover of
horses has heard about, and LOthaire,
twice champion at the Boston Horse
Show and n champion at Bar Harbor
and Brockton, Mass, in 1901. Also two
pure bred French coach mares. high
acting pair of bays, very stylish
high-acting tandem team. and several
other haif-hloods. sired by Gemare and
Lothaire out of Names native mares.
The display on the whole is certainly
one of the finest ever given in Maine.
The carriages and harnesses are all
new and Of the latest design, correct
and smart in every particular, which
is deserving of great credit to Mr.. San
born. AT his farm at Lewiston june
uon can be seen about $50 head of the
different ages that should convince any
morse lover of the possibilities in the
FANCY stock breeding in Maine. and of
MS own mares. The record of the past
season as 10 sales is alone convincing
OF this success. He has sold horses to
parties in Boston and New York and
cannot begin to meet the demand.
Mr. Sanborn will leave Bangor for
st John. y. B., to attend the agricuI-
tural fair. open to the world, where he
