greater interest, means better horses
and more of them. The demand is for
high bred, good sized and good acting
horses that are sure to be raised. A
GOOD driving club is what is needed in
eyery town where there is any good
live sporting blood. Unity is favored
in having good track where meetings
could be held. A good thing would be
to form a driving cub and hold races
there every week or two weeks all sum-
mer, charge admission and give to the
winners a certain percentage of the
gate receipts. This would give them
Something to work for and yet would
not be enough so that they would go to
expense to win it, And besides it
would furnish some sport and excite
ment for the people of the town. We
hope the next time we visit Unity to
find every body talking horse and plan.
ming to own the fastest one in town.
A representative of the Turf, Farm
& Home, recently visited the stables
of MI B. r. Hunt & Son, in Unity.
Mr.. Hunt is one of the old school of
horsemen; was one years ago when a
won; before jockeying had reached
lUS pltSCIIl MY oooVO VI POAICSuiOli.
The large number of good ones Mr..
Hunt has owned are much too nu-
merous to mention, but many of them
have taken low marks and many more
have become first class gentleman S
drivers. Mr.. Hunt, in company with
his son, is still active in the hors e
business, and they have on hand a
number of good colts, all of them be,
ing exceptionally high bred. They
have a good looking pair in two four
year-olds, both bay geldings. One by
Burdette out of mare by Highlawn,
the other by Frank Hampton, out of
mare by Gideon. Both stand 15-3
and weigh 1850. They are very close
ly alike in color and shape and have
about the same gait, and give prom
Use of making fine road pair. A four
year-old mare by Purist, sire of
Purist Wilkes, 217 I2; dam by Bay
Rolfe, is third good one. She is a
rich bay in color, stands 1872 hands
high and weighs 1000 pounds. She
is a good roadster and looks like a
very fine gentlemans driver. She is
surely very high bred one. Then
they have three year-old bay mare
by Frank Hampton; dam by l. X. l..
This mare is handsome and we'll made
one and looks exceptionally good. She
stands 1872 hands high and weighs 1000
pounds. She has not been broken yet,
but has good gait and appears to be
fast. A four-y ear-old gelding by Frank
Hampton, dam by Young Rolfe, is a
snappy one. He is fine chestnut in
color with d white strip and one white
stocking. He is a big and open gated
colt, travelling with an easy stride that
takes him over the ground very fast. He
is of good size, standing ISL hands high
and weighing about 975 pounds. Another
colt is two-year-old by Frank Hamp-
ton, which they recently purchased,
and so know very little about. He is a
good one, however. They have besides
a nine-year-old family mare and brood
mare by l. \. L.: dam by Vermont
Black Hawk. This mare is the dam of
some good colts and is now in foal to
Celestial. She is bay in color and
weighs about 1850 pounds. The Messrs.
Hunt have fine farm and a well
adapted stable for their horses. With
their years of experience to back them,
and the high bred colts they have in
their stables, they are sure to turn out
some good horses. Mr. Hunt says that
with horses as they are it is almost i'm
possible to buy them to make profit,
but yet he succeeds in doing SO with a
| few.
