The Horse Exhibit.
The exhibit of horses is far ahead
of anything ever seen on the grounds,
both in numbers and quality, and
this is being made one of the strong
features of the fair. The largest and
without doubt the finest and most
varied exhibit in this department is
that of the SpeedWen Farms. The
exhibit is in charge of Theodore Dun
can, Mr.. Wallis trainer, and includes
IA ponies besides Prince Dair, the
three-quarters thoroughbred saddle
and harness horse, the three-year-old
Percheron stallion, Hyago, the Perch
eron male, Hecharp, and Henrietta,
and the French coach stallion,
Elegant, undoubtedly the most
beautiful types and finest show horses
ever seen on the grounds if not in
the state. Prince Lair, the three-gait
ed saddle horse, has been shown for
four years in all parts of the coun-
try and has yet to taste defeat. The
Percherons, Hyago and Hecharp, are
both prize winners and Henrietta has
been shown on both sides of the
water and has never been beaten.
Black Bird, the imported Welch pony
at the head of Mr.. Wallis herd of
nearly 150, is considered perfect
type and included in the exhibit are
several of his get. He will be driven
tandem with Black Beauty before
the grand stand and Mr.. Duncan will
also show the ponies in two, three,
four and six in hand during the fair.
