come Of the horse? The question Is
asked in all civilized countries of the
world Here is the answer which Judge
William II. Moore an owner Of noted
horses. made last week to an inter
viewer in London:
In America interest in the horse
has taken a new form since the auto
mobile has become popular. Carriage
horses are little demanded in Ameri-
ca now, and in course Of time prob
ably will be eliminated. Saddle horses,
however. are selling at the highest
prices ever known owing to the grow
ing popularity OF riding. and especially
hunting. Finely bred draught horses
of the Percheron type are also in great
demand. Notwithstanding the develop
ment Of the motor truck The ordinary
horse Is practically obsolete. About
the only specimens OF the common
breed Of horses seen today i'm Amer
lea are the haIf-staryed relics huck-
sters use. 1t is quite probable that
some Of the saddle horses, the hunter
and the racer will be the only horses
left in the world. We must hope. Of
course to have these always.
Judge Moore exaggerates TO a certain
extent but the probability is very
great that ten years to come what he
says will be looked back upon as pro
phetic.
