H. R. c. Watson Missed
in Local Horse World

News of the recent death OF II. r. G.
Watson In France was read with sor-
row by all classes of horsemen In New
York. As a road rider in the great days
of driving trotters on Seventh avenue he
was known TO everybody who frequented
Johnny Barry's, Gabe Cases, Judge
Smiths and the clubhouse at Fleetwood
Park AS an exhibitor OF light harness
horses and Morgans he was long pronli-
nent, and It is doubtful whether he ever
missed an exhibition OF the National
Horse Show Association when he was
not abroad. At his Edgeview Farm.
near Rutland. VT, and earlier at the
family home in West Farms, he had
bred fine horses almost all his life.
Early Volumes OF the American Trot-
ting Register show that he was breeding
trotters as long ago as 1880. Twenty
five years ago he had quite an extensive
stud, with the fast and well bred stall
lion Oscar William, :12&. at It's head.
OF late years he had been one OF the
most enthusiastic and loyal breeders
and exhibitors OF Morgans, and he was
long a stanch supporter of the Morgan
Horse Club, whose dinners at Del
monlco's and reunions at the Vermont
State Fair were and are among the en-
joyable events OF the year.
The New York herald., 1921-05-23

stud career, and hostility to the
family has not yet ceased. His sire,
Clark Chief, was one of the fastest
and best sons of Mambrino Chief,
New York horse that founded the Mann
brino family Of trotters In Kentucky.
Harrison Chiefs dam. Lutte Boyd, was
also the dam OF The Banker Q :29 u, and
sse was one of the handsomest mares
Kentucky horsemen have ever seen. Like
her great son she was a winner IN tHe
show ring before she was year oid,
her exquisite beauty and quality having
given her the blue In q championship
sweepstakes for all ages at the Paris
fair. where fifteen or twenty were
shown against her. 1t has been said
that she was the first sucking ever
known to have won in a field Of aged
horses. This remarkable mare was
daughter Of the handsome Joe Downing,
whose sire, Alexander's Edwin Forrest
was another New York stallion that con-
tributed materially to the early pres
tige Of the Kentucky trotting horse.
Lou Chief, a wonderfully handsome,
high STYLED chestnut mare, foaled In
1897, was among the first saddle horses
that drew attention to Harrison Chief
as a sire. After sweeping the show rings
In Kentucky and the West she came to
New York in 1898 and won at the Ma
tional Horse Show. Few. IL any. winners
since her day have achieved greater
fame than she did. Shortly after the
show ut Madison Square Garden she
was purchased by the late General Bray
ton Ives for the highest price then on
record for a saddle horse. Bourbon Chief.
four years older than Lou Chief. was
among the first sons OF Harrison Chief
to gain distinction as sire. He got
many winners, including the noted stall
Hons Bourbon King and Montgomery
Chief, full brothers and champions.
neither Of which was ever beaten in the
show ring, and both Of which come into
the pedigree of Bohemian Actress.
The family of Harrison Chief has pro-
duced several Bohemian Actresses
among high stepping harness horses.
His son. Wilson's King, was the pro-
genitor Of Red Cloud. one Of the early
champions and winners of the original
Waldorf Astoria Cup for gig horses at
Madison Square Garden and one of the
greatest harness horses ever seen to this
day, as we'll as one Of the first ever sold
for $4,000.
The New York herald., 1921-05-23

1t will be seen from this tabulation
that Bohemian King, the sire of Bohe-
mian Actress, was by a grandson OF
Harrison Chief out Of a daughter Of that
horse: also that Bourbon King. pater
nal grandsire OF the $4,000 mare. was
full brother to her maternal grand
sire, Montgomery Chief, both being
grandsons of Harrison Chief.
The horse so largely responsible for
the queen OF saddle mares was bay
stallion about 16 hands high, weighing
about 1900 pounds. He was foaled In
1872, and was bred by ]. w. Cromwell
of Cynthiana, KY, who owned him un-
til the horse died In 1895. He was a
very handsome stallion. OF commanding
style and presence. and was a blue rib
bon winner before he was year old.
Mr.. Cromwell exhibited him fifteen
years with marked success at Kentucky
fairs and shows.
Because he had no Denmark blood
but was trotting bred on both sides OF
the house and was himself O. winner In
harness. there was more or less opposi-
ton to Harrison Chief as a sire of sad
die horses almost from the outset of his

Mules Making Headway
On Farms In New York

Federal live stock census reports just
issued for the State Of New York dis
close some interesting facts about horses
and mules. They show for example.
that in the ten years ending January J.,
1920 the number OF mules on farms In
creased about 80 per cent. or from 4,031
to 1928 Horses decreased in number,
but the falling off was not very encour-
aging to the prophets OF horseless age.
The number on farms In 1920 was $780,
III. compared with 5S739S in 1910. a
decrease of 51.222, or less than 3 per
cent. Sheep in the same period de-
creased to about half this extent In
cities and villages the motor cars
made inroads on both horses and mules,
the number of horses having fallen from
303.256 to 141,64S. and of mules from
3,490 to 2.972 The whole number of
horses and mules in the State fell from
S93,170 to 687,914.

Il. J. Lehman, who operates one Of the
largest department stores in Chicago be-
sides breeding and exhibiting saddle
horses at Western shows, has been maxi
ing some interesting Investigations rela-
tive to the cost of deliveries by automo-
biles and horses. His conclusion Is that
ION short hauls, route work and in un-
paved outlying districts horses are more
economical than motor trucks. They
also have a great advantage In that we
can decrease or increase our delivery
equipment in accordance with the fluc-
tuating demands due to differences In
seasons. Our fall business requires SO
per cent. more equipment than the bal
ance of the year. To handle this we
buy horses each fall and Gull out the
surplus every spring. This keeps our
stock In Al shape and eliminates the tre-
mendous expense of carrying expensive
motor vehicles all year for only few
months work"
