making Of the winner. He was bred in

Hastings, while his dam was BY anothef
thoroughbred horse out OF hackney
mare, according to Collins. who bought
him about year ago for something
less than $500 in one OF the auctions
at Durland's. He was not well broken
when shipped in for this sale and he
proved TO be Tartar when Collins set
about schooling him. Patience and per-
sistent kindness having failed to con-
auer him, the Boston horseman one day
resorted to punishment. The thirty
third degree proved to be what he
needed, and from the day he got It he
was a lady's hack. Collins sold him
to Mrs. Homer Loring. who rode him
all summer and exhibited him as Naga-
bond at the New England Fair IN
Worcester with her seventeen-year-ol
daughter in the saddle. Millard Spear,
instructor at the Gentlemen's Riding
