NINETEENTH ANNUAL YEAR BOOK— PART IV 323 



bone and substance, and withal displays a hard texture of legs. He is not 

 only larger but also of finer quality in underpinning- than the Smith 

 colt Wilfred standing third. 



Only two futurity yearling stallions came forward. Truman had the 

 winner in Williams Dan Patch, a big burly bay with legs, bone, quality 

 and action to please the most critical judge. In back, croup and cordi- 

 ness of cannon this colt beats Smith's brown Ace of Hearts. 



There were two yeld mares shown and Trumans' very big matronly 

 chestnut Royal Tulip beat Huddlestun's good Edgewood Dinah and also 

 won the grand championship. Huddlestun was the victor in the class 

 for brood mare and foal with a strong-boned, hard-jointed mare and her 

 good stallion foal, the latter sired by Bury Cannon Ball. Smith had a 

 commendable rival for the honor. In three-year-old fillies Trumans had 

 one of their strong entries, big of bone and well made, which beat the two 

 Huddlestun fillies. Trumans also won first on a typical sort of two-year- 

 old. 



Four futurity yearling fillies came out for a rating, three of them sired 

 by Osco Grand Prince and owned by Smith Bros. One of these is the thin 

 light bay Gene, whose great bone of steel-like texture and her correct 

 legs gave her a somewhat more drafty appearance than the better-fitted, 

 very deep chested brown Hawthorne Ross entered by Trumans. This one 

 is exceedingly sweet and shapely but a little lowset- She beat the other 

 two Smith entries. 



JACK STOCK AND MUDES. 



Forty big clean-cut mules were shown by Wyatt Carr & Son, Collins, 

 la.; F..L. Hutson, State Center, la., and a few smaller exhibitors. A num- 

 ber of individuals weighed 1,700 to 1,800 pounds and made an impressive 

 appearance, as their underpinning, quality and style were also of a high 

 order. A few excellent jacks drew attention. One of the strongest-backed 

 best-legged big jacks seen this season is the three-year-old McHannibal 

 with which Carroll McKibbsn won the championship. 



LIGHT HORSES AND PONIES. 



The light-horse barns contained about eighty animals which competed 

 in daily classes in front of the racetrack grandstand and in harness and 

 saddle events at the coliseum at night horse shows. Some of the best 

 American saddle horses in the country were present and the saddle classes 

 were well filled and staged lively contests. Standardbreds were less 

 nuniernus and only a few Hackneys appeared. 



The pony section was stronger. Shetlands were numerous in nearly all 

 their events, as might be expected from the fact that the barns held 

 ninety-four of these children's pets. Mrs. Adam Stirling and D. G. Welty 

 brought out some entries that were very highly praised by Prof. W. J. 

 Kennedy, Sioux City, la., who judged the ponies. A few Hackney ponies 

 were shown, principally in harness events.
