SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK — PART IV 285 



lined, cleanly-chiseled and femininely-turned as could be desir«d. 

 Lady May is a daughter of The Pinnacle and shed considerable lustre 

 upon the ten-year-old sire's record. Another well-fashioned filly, much 

 on the type of the champion stallion, came from the two-year-olds, 

 the Young Criterion mare Sweet Marie. She had little difficulty in 

 fighting her way to the top of the bred-by-exhibitor class over the 

 futurity champion and gave Lady May a hard rub for supreme female 

 honors. 



TIIK FJIJ.Y FUTURITY. 



Not content with winning the stallion futurity with Prince Fickland, 

 the progeny of Prince Cedric came forward again in the filly futurity. 

 Princess Alice is a mare on the style of Sweet Marie, possessed of beau- 

 tiful straight limbs and a deep well-set hock. Two very pretty 

 Pinnacle colts stood second and third, the younger chestnut being 

 particularly satisfying. A very drafty pair stood in fourth and fifth 

 places, the superior advantage of top possessed by Miss Roberta being 

 more than offset by the powerful underpinning of Maid's Darling. 



The get-of-sire show was inspiring with such sires as Baron's Hope, 

 Prince Cedric, The Pinnacle and Young Criterion competing. That 

 they finally stood in the order named was almost foreordained by the 

 awards, but the uniformity of the Prince Cedric offering was enough 

 to give the winners anxiety. 



THE SHIRES. 



The Shire ring missed seriously the entries of Trumans' Pioneer 

 Stud Farm, the stallion classes in particular suffering from their ab- 

 sence. Last year's second-prize stallion, Dunsmore Sentinel, headed 

 the aged class, this year, but as he had just come from his season's 

 stand, he neither did justice to himself nor his award, from the 

 showyard standpoint. The stronger class in the male section was 

 the two-year-olds, from which the clean-limbed, roundly-turned 

 champion came. Rock's Golda Conqueror is a deep brown that ex- 

 celled his class rivals on his square-set legs and straight-lined walk. 

 An excellent foal came to the front, and the two two-year-olds and 

 foal both stood ahead of the futurity winner in the bred-by-exhibitor 

 class. 



THE STALLION FUTURITY. 



Eight yearlings aligned themselves in the stallion futurity to receive 

 the attention of Peter Hopley and R. B. Ogilvie, Chicago, who for 

 eight years has judged the breed at Des Moines, Mr. Hopley having 

 been appointed to aid in the two futurity rings. A strongly welded 

 gray. Sir Buscot, took first over a compact, deep-chested brown of 

 exceptionally sloping shoulder. The third colt was another brown 

 of rather more bountiful proportions, but more loosely built than the 

 winner. Two very large-framed youngsters stood fourth and fifth, 

 well grown, Imt scarcely as sweet in the legs as the first three.
