UNCLE SAM's HORSES.
First Government Experiment in De-
veloping an American Carriage
Horse Promises Success.

1t is now a little over seven years
slice Prof. w. l.. Carlyle and Eugene
H. Grubb of the Colorado Board of
Agriculture went to Washington to
try and induce the government to un-
dertake the work of breeding an
American carriage horse. The first
idea was to breed high grade saddle
horse, which could also be utilized for
cavalry purposes Secretary James
Wilson, however, thought that the car
riage horse was in most demand, and
Congress finally authorized an appro-
priation to commence the work and
the breeding station was opened at
Fort Collins. The plan was to de-
veiop the Standard bred horse, itself
an American type, to fill the require
ments. The Standard bred horse had
always been bred for speed and the
conformation and size SO necessary in
carriage horse was always disre-
garded, yet Notwithstanding this fact,
the government was able to gather to-
gether about fifty high class mares
of the type wanted and at the head
was placed the great stallion Carmon,
bred by the Nrst Secretary of Agricul'
ture, Governor Coleman of Missouri,
on his Missouri farm, and afterwards
sold to Thomas Fl. Lawson, the Bos-
ton millionaire and became one of the

Marriage Registry Office in That City

Of Wedioek.

The marriage registry ONCE is in all
countries usually a bare and unsenti-

At the very door the bridegroom's
hand grasps a dove-shaped handle to
procure him and his blushing compan-

hang two INTERVENING rings. The
small passage leading to the Office

his bow and arrows, while on all sides,
both the passage and the Office, is

wheel horses on his celebrated $+0,00v
park four.
The specifications for the horse de-
sired were as follows: A horse OF
handsome appearance standing about
16 hands high with good action and
speed and high intelligence, a horse
that would adapt himself quickly to
environment and at the same time
have high life and an attractive ap-
pearance Carmon, though bred for
speed, had the qualifications to a
large degree. The mares selected
were largely of the same type and
the plan was by selection and feed
ing, to produce and fix the type
wanted.
For time there was considerable
discussion as to whether the expert
ment would succeed Prof. CARLYLE,
who had the foundation work in
charge, was compelled to leave the
work three years ago, but he had laid
the foundation well and now the gov
ernment has consented to show the
public what has already been accom-
plished and Carmon and number OF
his sons, from six years OF age down
to a weanling, will be exhibited at
the Denver Horse Show January 1870
This is the first public appearance OF
the new horses and there is consider
able interest among horse breeders all
over the country and hundreds will

1t is expected that fully 10000 fahcy
Colorado feeder cattle will be sold to

record made by Colorado bred cattle
at the big shows in the East during
