Rule. — All entries in this class, where weight is one of the conditions, shall be 

 accompanied with a reliable certificate of date, not exceeding one week previous to 

 the opening of the exhibition sliowing satisfactorily the weight of the animals that 

 are entered for competition. 



The "horse of all work" (breeding stock) should not be less than 153^ hands in 

 height, nor less than 1,100 pounds in weight, Cjuick, lively ears, broad between the 

 eyes, round barrel, short loins, well up in the shoulders, deep chested, square quarters, 

 flat legs, short between knee and pastern, hind legs well under him, speed equal to 

 eio-ht miles an hour on the road, and at least three miles at the plow, with sufficient 

 blood to ensure spirit, style, and endurance, as in this class it is evident the mature 

 animals are intended for breeding, they should be sound; and as the young animals 

 must be judged on their own merits, as well as their promise for future usefulness, 

 they also must be sound or else they cannot compete. The "horse of all work" is 

 intended to be capable of being trained for the saddle, for harness, and to be able to 

 go on tlie road or in draught, as he may chance to be broken. It maybe that the 

 "horse of all work" shall, after a few years' training, make a useful, spirited, hand- 

 some family roadster, or he may be brought up to be a good draught horse, true to 

 pull to any load that may be put behind him. Much depends on the use he is put to. 

 Hence the judges will note that he is not to be judged ])y the speed he may make for 

 a single mile. Hence, also, it will be noted that he maj' be thoroughbred or he may 

 not, and for the same reason he must have size, action, and spirit, as well as constitu- 

 tion, if he is worthy of a premium as a breeding animal. 



The Executive Committee have decided that a mare may show as many colts as her 

 owner desires, to prove her quality as a dam, but one of these colts must be the pro- 

 duce of the year of the exhibition.
