406 IOWA DEPAIJTMENT OP AGRICULTURE. 



type. Gretna Farm, of Wheaton, 111., had some beautiful animals of 

 great quality and finish, winning first and second both in aged stallion 

 class. S. B. Mills, of Ames, Iowa, had some good ones in the mare classes. 

 Perry Wood, of Marne, Iowa, had a very beautiful little black, quite a 

 typical Morgan in form, which won third in aged stallion class. 



HABNESS HORSES, AMERICAN OB FOREIGN BRED. 



Matched heavy or coach team was won by Garner, of Des Moines, on a 

 beautifully matched pair, with excellent appointment. Second went to 

 R. Boude, Story City, Iowa, on a pair of chestnuts not so well matched 

 nor so stylish actors. John Garrison came next with a pair of sorrels of 

 good style and somewhat deficient in high quality as found in the win- 

 ning pair. For single animal only one entry showed, that of J. P. Garri- 

 son, who was awarded a blue, and who then took Judge W. A. Dobson, of 

 Marion, Iowa, out of the ring in his gig, and the horse fair at Des Moines 

 was finished. 



DRAFT GELDINGS OR MARES. 



There was a small showing in this class, McLay Bros, and Finch Bros, 

 having the only entries, McLay Bros, winning first on single animal over 

 1,750 pounds, and Finch Bros, taking first and second. In the class for 

 animals under that weight McLay Bros, took first and second. A pair of 

 McLay's mares took first in pair 3,400 pounds. No pairs shown under that 

 weight nor were there any entries in four or six-horse teams. R. B. 

 Ogilvie was judge. 



gentlemen's DBIVERS, ROADSTERS. 



Only two classes were entered in, but some excellent horses were 

 shown. In driving team, pairs, to pole, Clara E. Monahan, of Des Moines, 

 was first with a beautifully matched pair of blacks, with good type and 

 swinging, rapid action. J. R. Peak drove the second pair, the chief char- 

 acter of which was their speed. Third was won by Shaw Bros., of Mitch- 

 ellville, Iowa, with Miss Macklin and Baby Alice, while W. L. Moles, of 

 Bayard, Iowa, finished up fourth with a pair of useful sorrels. Single 

 driver to harness went to Peak on Vivian M., second to Thos. Bass on 

 Petra M., third to Peak on Noretta and fourth to Black Bess, owned by 

 Clara E. Monahan, of Des Moines. These entries were placed by W. A. 

 Dobson, of Marion, Iowa. 



THE SHETLANDS. 



John Garrison, who judged ponies from Shetland, passed on more in- 

 dividuals than were numbered in some of the larger breeds. These 

 diminutive fellows were quartered in the small hog pavilion, but attracted, 

 it is safe to say, a maximum of interest from the children, and not a little 

 from their elders. Every class in the ring was exceptionally well filled and 

 a great deal of deliberation was necessary in some cases to make the 

 awards correctly. 



MULES. 



Only six mules were shown, S. T. Williams and H. L. Orcutt making 

 the entries. In class for mules four years or over, Williams won with a 

 large gray. Mule two years old and under three, H. L. Orcutt took first.
