THE LIVE STOCK EXHIBIT NOTABLE DISPLAY OF HORSES AND CATTLE AT THE FAIR. The Most Important Exhibition of Its Kind Ever Held in This] { Country-—Facts of Interest About | [ Amerlean and Forelgn Breeds of ! Horses, The exhibition of live stock at the World's | Fair is notable in many particulars and must be acknowledged to be, taken all in all, the most important one ever held in this country. It embraces, beside horses and cattle, sheap and hogs, live stock appliances, incubators and other of the high-class acoessories of model farms, To begin with the horses, says the Washington Star correspondent, there is not a single breed of importance that has not some fine specimens, They range from the heaviest shire, weighing very nearly 2500 pounds, to the most diminutive | Shetland pony, which a strong man could | pick up and carry on his back--if it would permit him to do so. The judging opened with a bunch of Suf- | folk punch horses, a breed hitherto almost | unknown in this country, although it is one | of the oldest and best known of English | heavy-weoight horses, The exhibit was not | extensive, embracing but four stallions over | five years old, and four mares of the same age, beside soveral wrlings and colts, One | korse came from Thorndale, Ontario, and all the rest are owned inthis country, Thetypi- <al Suffolk punch is a large, heavily bu horse, very compact, with short neck legs. The color is chestnut, and white feet and a “blaze face” are common. They are | especially adapted for medium draft pur- poses, The two best of the stallions were among the finest looking of all the horses led | into the ring. | Following the Suffolk punches judging of the Percherons, which several days. There are sixteen of these horses, covering stallions over five years old, between four and five, under three, under two and yearlings, and mares of the same , besides suckling colts, { came the occupied A good many of Percherons come from Canada, but the majority are owned in Ilitnols, Iowa, Michi- gan, Wisconsin and New York. In the awarding of the prizes farm secured every first premium except in one section, | The whole display is quite remarkable, and | speaks highly for American nd | breede It is hardly an say t wen i t n France finer sj horses than are n Fair After the Pe the Clydesdale ax latter is the largest 2500 pounds, For the tiated it may be stated are fou one usually { their colts, | cases quite profitable, horse I8 a muteh even for their famous Hack- neys. It is satisfactory, therefore, to seo that there are brosders who still eultivate them, for their worth continues to obtuin a general recognition, The stallions exhibited number in all thirty-eight and come from farms in Iliinole, Missouri, Kentuoky, Ver. mont, Virginia, West Virginia and Indiana. Fire is also a fine showing of mares and colts, The Morgan and the English Hackney are apt to be competitors, Of the lattor there is {not as full a display as of the former, but | soveral Canadian farms, as well as Ameri can, show soms fine specimens, When we ask to seo the large coach horse wo necessarily leave American hreads be. hind, for the conch horse has been brought to a state of perfection in Europe far sur- passing anything to be found in this coun. try. In point of fact, American horses em-~ brace saddle horses, road horses, trotters and runners, but of draught horses nnd conch horses all the broeds are European, Among the conch horses the breeds now most culti vated are the French coach horse and the Cleveland bay. Joth have strong represen tation at the Falr, Among the former are fourteen stallions over flve years old, four between four and five, and ten under three, Several stallions are shown with three of and the showing of mares is ex. tensive. The Cleveland bays ars not so nu- merous, but among the stallions there are a number of the best well as among the mares, A third breed of coach horses is shown in the German ‘‘coachor,” which contains a numerous bunch, There is no barn of horses that is mors specimens, As | constantly erowded than the one where the Shetland ponies may be found. The breed ing of the fascinating little fellows has been rather extensive of late years, and in some Rich men seek after | them for their children, and somes adults are | not exempt from a weakness for them, There are fifteen stallions shown, and they come from New York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mis- souri and Towa. The judging, which lias not yot taken place, will include teams of threo and four abreast, All the ponies shown are good specimens, This completes a cursory view of the ferent breeds which have prizes, It will be noticed show comprises for the most part the usefn} horses of the world, and is not a hibit nable cobs and hunters, Tt is, indeed, no class of hunters, nor of e he horses shown are all good, and ¢ are nearly all owned by American breeders they can truly be sald to reflect credit upon mere ax- f fas IX ERED OIL~ ON EXHINITI toward the east end of the ory Hall is a w ’ . ws sl 1 Be ove 5373 mall of the most , for every detall is y part is shown 1 When the seed « od with lint inced In a lin Per-hs last-name are a 4 heavy draft breeds, A strange breed followed the draft he into the st pavilion in the Americo- which is nothis Ore n strain Arabian he rrossed with the Ameri can breed, rseman knows, ba of almost every high-bred horse in existence fsanf {f the biood of the Arabi horse, grees all stock, so d that the most poy ) tion from Arabi it ia claimed wi u mth rican horses that are run wild for generations, the tough bronecoes that so often show great qualities of courage and en- durance, are the offspring of the Arabian horses that Cortez brought with him from Spain and let louse on the American conti nent centuries sgo. To-day the Americo Arab is a smalllimbed delicately-formed horse, of wondertully beautiful proportions, and with the keen, intelligent eye of a human being. Only four stallions over four years old are shown, two coming from Long Island and two from different stock farms in Wis consin., There are half a dozen mares and several colts, Altogether, the display Is rather an evidence of what can be done than of what has been done, Of thoroughbred Arabs themselves thers is also a most inter tr less than t} rae 8 avery hw no th esting hunsh, and among the Russian horses | are several Russia-Arabs that are in ao gon. eral way, similiar tothe Americo-Arab, The exhibit of the Russian horses is Masel! one of the most interesting of all, Washing tonlane, remarks the Star correspondent, will remember that the Beeretary of the Ras. sian Legation several years ago appeared with a Russian drosky and two Russian trot. ting stallions, whick he drove on alternate days. These were the first ones ever seen in the nodghborbood of Washington, They were lsrge-bonad, stoutly bulit, about sixteen hands high and very fast trotters for a long distance.
