Rex Mcdonald, the king Of Ameri-
can saddle horses at the age of 20
years, Is still living, says the Unfver'
sity Missourian of Columbia. He is
owned by B. r. Middleton. Of Mexico.
Mo, who purchased him from the
Rex Mcdonald company at Columbia,
Mo.
Notwithstanding his age, Rex Nc
Donald has all the style and action
which characterized him In showing
days, as was shown when he was ex-
hiblted at the State Fair at sedala
this year.
Rex Mcdonald has become a house
hold word among the lovers of the
American saddle horse. He IL the
same to saddle horseman AIS Is Dan
Patch or Ray Wilkes to harness
horse admirers. Herbert ]. Krum,
an authority on saddle horses, said,
Rex Mcdonald lis the perfect type of
a saddle horse both in conformation
and action"
Bred at Mexico, Mo.
L. B. Morris Of Mexico deserves
more credit for this great horse than
any other man. 1t was he who mated
Lucy Mack and Rex Denmark, the
foal being the great colt, Rex MELON
aid. Owing to oil health, Mr.. Morris
was compelled to have a sale of his
stock, at which Rex was purchased
by R. T. Freeman and son for s105.
Mr.. Freeman later sold him to Col
onel John T. Hughes, Of Kentucky
for $1,000.
1t was in the; fan of 1898 in the
show ring Of the st. Louis fair, that
Colonel w. F. Blees, OF Macon, Mo-,
purchased Rex Mcdonald of Colonel
Hughes for $1,000. Mr.. Blees sold
Rex to Ralph Orthwein of St. Louis
for $1,000, who later refused SO, 900
for him. In January of 1906, Mr.. ort
vein sold Rex Mcdonald to the stock
company of Columbia, of which Dr..
r, E. Graham, who died recently, was
president.
For Ten Years the Champion.
On reaching Columbia, Rex was re.
tired from the show ring, as he had
been BARRED from all saddle stakes
and was conceded to be the unde-
teated champion saddle horse Of
America. On the death OF DR.. II. e.
Graham, Rex was purchased by B.
r. Middleton Of Mexico, Mo-, for
$2,75O.
Rex Mcdonald was the grand cham
pion for a decade. His sons and
daughters have been champions, and
to-day occupy the same relative DO
satton that he did I'm his days.
Rex Mcdonald has broken the
worlds record twice In the matter of
price, first when he was sold as a
f~our'year'old for $1,000, and finally
When he was sold again at the age
OF twenty for $2,750. He is the
most remarkable son of the Dem
mark family, and is foremost On the
hearts Of the lovers of saddle horses.

voting to adjourn until three O'Clock

were visibly disappointed at adjourn
