St. Johnsbury Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1867-1919, 1909-09-15

animal with record never having been
beaten. At White River Junction and
Brattleboro last year this herd won
firsts in all classes. Besides Shorthorns
Mr.. Cary has few oxen that will make
some other exhibitors rub their eyes.
Ten yoke of these sturdy beasts of
burden include the world-famous Ted
and Mac, which now tip the scales at
5000 pounds, and are still growing.
They are 5 years old and have had
years of busy work on different exhi-
bition grounds. At Red Bank, N. j.,
where they have recently been exhibited,
the natives admitted that they had
never seen oxen before.
T. H. Lyster of st. Johnsbury shows
bull calf and yearling heifer. Both are
Holsteins and likely looking animals
with good pedigrees.
R. T. Eastman of Littleton is also here
and he has with him a herd of 9 sleek
looking Holsteins, headed by the two
year-old bull Pietertze Hengerveld Count
De Kol the 9Th. The herd also includes
bull calf, Prince Hengerveld Copia De
Kol, which is likely looking youngster,
and Drynock Easter, 85347. This cow
was sired by Joanna Rue 3rd's Ladd,
also the sire of % advanced registry
| daughters.
The Horses.
The entries in this department are far
ahead of former years, and on the
grounds may be found anything in the
| line of horse flesh, from the daintiest
pony to the heavy quartered draft horse
| that can move a house. tits only natur-
al that the Morgan for which Vermont
is noted should have agood showing and
| these sturdy little animals are certainly
in the majority this year.
Without doubt the handsomest piece
of horse-fesh ever exhibited on the
grounds is the French Coach Stallion
Elegant, 5000, owned by Speedwell
Farms. He is seven years old and was
awarded first prize at the st. Louis Ex-
position in 1904. He is handsome
bay, bred at the Sedgely Farm in Hins-
dal, Ind, and sired by Pepino. His
dam, Eneide, was by Indre. The French
Coach horse of which Elegant is a per-
feet type has history dating back to
the time of the Crusaders and is today
conceded the world over to be the best
carriage and road horse on earth.
Wherever exhibited Elegant has swept
all before him and has yet to taste de-
feat No exhibition would be complete
without the famous Welch ponies from
the same farm. Several are being shown
this year, among them Black Bird, aged
nine years, which was imported last
winter and heads the list Llewellyu,
another imported stallion, IL years old,
is we'll known here, where for several
years he has been carrying off blue rib
bons. Another interesting entry in this
exhibit is Y Wenal, two years and nine
months old, as yet unbeaten. There are
also two brood mares and colts and two
matched pairs. Nellie and Trixie, a
matched pair, are perhaps the best
matched team of ponies ever shown here
or elsewhere, and bouquets and ribbons
are constantly coming their way. The
ponies have captured prizes in all classes
at both this fair and the state fair in
years past and are as yet unbeaten.
George Morrill, of Gaskill is showing
for Eugene Shastany of East St. Johns
bury fine family of registered Morgans.
The mother, Old Jennie, was foaled in
1901. Ionic S. is a promising three
year-old colt; Jennie P. is yearling hlly
and Lady Kendall is the sucking filly.
H. L. Doyle shows the stallion Prince
Charlie, perfect type. Others who
exhibit the Morgan strain are F. E.
