HARNESS HORSES
At T|M0N|UM FAIR
Representatives From the Dis.

i Than Held Their Own.
By L. D. Sale.

The grand circuit aside, local light-har-
ness-horse interest has been centered dur
ing the week past on the events Transporting
at the Timonium fair, held near Baltimore,
where Washington and Montgomery county
horses were engaged in doing their various
stunts The Timonium fair is an annual
feature and was never more interesting
than this wear. The agricultural exhibits
were numerous, while the contests for
prizes among horses of different breeds
were never quite so keen. The pony
classes were among the best exhibits the
writer has ever witnessed south of the
Mason and Dixon line, while the exhibit or
high-cIass park horses hitched to suitable
vehicles with other appointments to match
would have reflected credit on any city IN
the land. The exhibition of misses ana
boys on ponies was another striking fea-
ture of the exposition their horsemansnlp
being we'll nigh perfect. An excellent string
orchestra comprised entirely of young la
lies was novel feature of the show

On Tuesday afternoon Charles c. Waters
of Germantown, Md, uncovered at the fair
in the sorrel four year-old- stallion Kinslee,
the greatest young trotter bred in Mary
land, and one that in the matter OF speed
will favorably compare with any of the
much. 1t was the consensus of opinion of
some of the best horsemen who saw this
Young stallion perform. that he is nearly,
II not quite. a 90 trotter right now. Al
though his chief competitor was a fast son
of the yearling champion Adbell, the sor-
rel son of Kinster could simply play with
him any part of the mile and it was only
through the abundant good nature of Mr..
Waters that Mr.. Greenway was permitted
to win a heat with his good colt. Mr.

Mr.. Waters simply wanted to put his colt
in the list and race him next year. when
more matured, in the fast classes-possibly
in the grand circuit.

Kinslee is a beautiful golden chestnut in
color, which he doubtless gets from his
maternal grandsire, Daniel Lambert, while
his conformation is of the greyhound type.
His neck is of good length and finely arch
ed; his throttle nodded on the order of the
gamecock. At all points he is strongly
made, his quarters powerful, the heart and
lung region simply immense, and he stands
on almost, If not quite, perfect feet and
legs. At whatever angle this wonderful
colt is viewed he strikes one as a horse OF
great vitality, of immense driving power
as seen from behind. and withal of perfect
disposition for entire horse

Mambrno King for physical beauty, in that
respect ne did not outclass one whit Kins-
lee, while in another important particular
the sorrel son of Kinster and Franklin Girl
is his superior, as he does not stand as
straight on his pasterns as did the King.
Knslee is at present close to sixteen hands
in height and Washington horsemen will
watch his future with much solicitude on
account of the locality in which he is
owned. He bred by Mr.. Waters on
his beautiful estate, Pleasant Fields.
