If we are good judges of human ma

biographers, we should feel very much

that the willy Richard" who once
made himself hoarse shouting "A
Horse, Horse, my Kingdom for
Horse" wanted good one.
Richard had just killed five Rich
monds, or thought he had, and was
looking for another when his horse
was killed under him, and when he
uttered his memorable words. Yes,
he wanted horse and he wanted one
badly enough, but, he wanted a good
one.
A good horse was what he wanted,
good horses are what we all want, and
It is only the large breeder who can
really tell us, how many, bad horses
he breeds, for one good one that he
sells. This is In large measure due
10 haphazard methods In breeding;
breeders are not careful enough In
the selection of their parent stock. nor
do they take pains enough to ascertain
the peculiarities and characteristics OF
the families from which the parent
stock comes.
In the trotting horse everything has
been neglected for speed, and In the
thoroughbred in this country, nothing
but this element has been considered;
the result is too we'll known to be re-
capitulated. Notwithstanding this no
body seems to try to remedy the de-
tects that this near sightedness has
produced There Is not one trotting
horse in a thousand whose anatomical
formation, physical and constitutional
soundness, will permit him to become
2:10 trotter, nor Is there one race
horse in the same number that can
sallop a mile in first class company
With any chance of winning, for the
Iame reason.
Breeders no not give sufficient care

Stamps and types Of horses and
ponies have been bred which are well
sxemplified in the Shire, Clydesdale,
Suffolk, Percheron, Belgium and Hack

ieasure at least in the trotter and
thoroughbred in America? 1t does in
