of horses, a ve'j strongly formed animal, and when he matures, 

 will compare favorably with the best horses of this kind, in the 

 State D. ". Foote, of Merton, also exhibited a beautiful chest- 

 nut colt, four years old of the sam. • family. He was brought 

 before us too late to compete for the premium, but is certainly 

 an excellent colt. He is a fast trotter, and is worthy of the at- 

 tention of those who feel an inte'-est in the impro rement of our 

 horses. C. A. Lewis, Esq., of Ottawa, also exhibited a good

 and action rarely to be seen. 



The only 3 year old " Black Hawk " exhibited, was by Santel
