OTHER BREEDS OF HORSES. 



In the classes for English Coach breeds, Cleveland Bays and Hackneys, 

 Truman's Pioneer Stud Farm, Bushnell, Illinois, was awarded all the 

 prizes for which it showed, W. A. Dobson making the awards. This firm 

 entered Hackneys that gave capital exhibitions of high action and showed 

 the style, carriage and quality for which the breed is noted.

SHETLAND PONIES. 



Owing to some radical changes in the classification for Shetlands there 

 was not as large a show as proved a strong drawing feature last year. 

 The prize list was materially reduced. Several large exhibitors felt that 

 they could not afford to ship out for the meager premiums listed. The 

 little folk last year at the fair thronged the pavilion when the ponies 

 were being judged, and the exhibit was attractive and interesting to 

 hundreds of adult visitors besides. Some very good ponies were out. 

 C. E. Alexander, Cassidy & Thompson, W. W. Garner, John Donhowe, 

 W. T. Roberts, and H. L. Anderson of Iowa were exhibitors. Dr. J. I. 

 Gibson of Des Moines tied the ribbons.
