horse, owned by Chas. Whitman, third
There were only three entries in this
class.
The Whitman horse weighs about
2200, "Cyreno" tips the beam at 2060,
and Garnet at 1900 lbs.
The three animals are considered
excellent specimens of their class.
A Youthful Gardner.
Little Harry Caldwell, son of Jas
Caldwell the we'll known Marvel grain
buyer and farmer, has an exhibit of
garden truck grown by himself and
was given first premium on the same
He is 10 years old and very small for
his age, weighing but 80 pounds, but
in everything but avoirdupois heavy
weight and is something of horse
man as we'll as gardener.
Some of the Horses.
The judges of the horses have been
busy today and some of the finest
horses ever seen anywhere have been
passed upon. 1t is not SO much the
winning of the ribbons and the Incl
dental small premium which is inter-
esting the exhibitors and the visitors
especially, so much as the development
of the blooded horse business in the
state. The stables contain horses
which are credit to the state and
have few equals anywhere. 1t has been
said that North Dakota is destined to
become the rival of Kentucky in the
production of fine horses, and the
Great Red River Valley Exposition is
proving that the distance between the
two sections is not SO very great even
at this time.
Two classes of horses are being rap
idly developed in this section-the
great draft horse which are built for
competition with locomotives, and the
light moving and speedy animals the
finest specimens of which are found
on the race courses and the more gen.
eral ones which form the drivers of
the farmers and business men. Both
can be found on exhibition.
English Coach Horse.
A dual purpose horse which COM
bines the qualities of both classes
mentioned is also shown. 1t is the
English Coach stallion owned by M.
A. Stembrack of Hillsboro. He is a
splendid animal of his class, and GER
tainly has the requisites for practical
speed and at the same time is built
for considerable draft. This horse was
driven from Hillsboro to this city,
making splendid road time and did not
show single bad result of the trip.
He is the only animal of this class
exhibited.
The Cyldesdale.
Two Hannah exhibitors are show
ing the strong qualities of the Clydes-
dale horses. w. ]. Mcconnell has
beautiful and well developed stallion,
a dam with her foal and a yearling.
This exhibit is attracting considerable
attention from horsemen. John Hay
of the same place has fine stallion,
dam and a yearling of the same
breed which divide honors with the
ones shown by Mr.. Mcconnell.
Some Of the Percherons.
The Percherons have always had a
prominent place with horse breeders
and will in all probability hold the
place for long time. They are like
old favorites. and once they have Sc
cured the attention of the horseman
they are difficult to displace They are
another of the heavy draft horses
which are so essential to the develop
ment of the agricultural regions of
the northwest. There are three splen-
did stations in this class owned by
Charles Whitman of Hannah, ]. B.
Kennedy of Grand Forks, and ]. Gil
