WORDS OF COMMUNICATION
FOR THE STANFORD FAIR
Saddle Horse Chronicle SAYS Colt
Futurity Mad More Class than
ANY Outside OF Lexington

Some interesting notes on the re
cent Stanford fair are published IN
this weeks Saddle Horse Chronicle
Of Lexington. Some local features
of the notes are particularly inter
,sting here, especially the refer
.nces 10 local horses. These are as
follows:
Though with many showers the
first two DAYS and u very bad track,
vet this year the Stanford Fair was
The best ever. The officials had
gotten around through tho count,
and created quite an interest III the
neighboring counties rs well rs their
own.
The first class of the fair was for
horse colts and though an extra
ring of colts Mr.. W. u. Walkers bay
colt was an easy winner. This colt
at times this year has been treated
somewhat rough in fairs, but here
from the beginning he had square
deal and accordingly had great re-
suits by the close of the fair. The
second class was for mare colts aud
brought out the same number as dld
the preceding class. Here Bohem-
ian King fiily. Bohemian Art, the
chestnut filly of Mr.. Edelen's which
came second at Lexington was plae-
ed the winner. This at once caus-
ed great discussion. the majority
being against the decision. While
not exactly perfect little behind
and around the ears tins filly has a
beautiful head aud neck. good
BODY, and no speciai Objectionable
point save at the root of the tan.
Now the saying L. have the colt night
an the head. neck and ears and leave
the hind quarters alone. IL - SAID
of Chiefs that most are ragged be-
hind but later will develop there.
Hut tins filly seems To- fare well with
the Judges. though she i. far from
perfect M the tail. This fIily IL out
of the gray Murphy mare. Lady
Dare. which was Just sold ut the
Murphy sale To W. q. Walker X Co..
for eight hundred dollars. The filly
that was placed second here created
quite a sensation. She was not m the
futurlty az Lexington. her sire. Rex
Peavine, not BEN. nominated. She
is out IF a mare by Hughes Black
Squirrel and j. the property ~ Mr..
n. :. Scudder. While this iiiy
needs vet Just n little touch of fine
ness about the head. neck. and ears.
-he j. still extra good there with mo-
principal objection. aud her hips are
pcrfeetion. smooth aud well shaped
nj the root of the tail. and She has
~ high and wonderful trot, and
stands a. n show horse. The ma
ioriiy thought this tilly should have
been first. and many who have seen
ihe winner of the futurity even ven-
lure 81 say could this one have been
shown she would have defeated the
now winner. Al any rate after see
ing the Scudder colt and the picture
of the Carpenter colt they would
make a close call for some Judge.
la the three year-old harness
class Mack Hughes was the winner
over the Briggs horse. Kentucky
Gentleman owned by Ncvin Carter,
II stanford No une could account
for this decision. save II was for the
presence of some speed with the
Hughes horse. For the Briggs
horse did not make the shows al
Stanford as he did thee week before
at Perryyllle-not 50 good IN the
mud.
In the special class fuf colts by
Carroll Preston were found four ~
good colts that can anywhere he
found together by one horse. and
was indeed great credit Ia their
