776 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE 



with all the exacting qualifications of the typical brood mare. Win. Crown- 

 over accomplished an unusual feat by winning first prize and champion- 

 ship for American bred Shire stallion with his bay stallion foal. We 

 cannot recall a time when these honors ever fell to a foal at any impor- 

 tant show. Robert Ogilvie was judge. 



CLYDESDALES. 



In form, quality, breed character, soundness and beauty, this favorite 

 Scotch breed was the equal of any of the draft breeds. But in numbers 

 it was lacking, being the smallest of the show. A notable feature of 

 the show in this breed was its great uniformity of breed type, which was 

 very prominent throughout. McLay Bros., of Wisconsin, and Forbes 

 Bros., of Wyoming, furnished the larger part of the show, aided by a few 

 Iowa breeders. Professor Kennedy placed the awards. 



BELGIANS. 



The classes for this breed were well filled throughout, although in 

 numbers it was not up to former shows seen at Iowa. No show, how- 

 ever, has been more select and freer from common kinds. The "pro- 

 gressive" type prevailed through both stallion and mare classes. The 

 great weight in evidence in the stallion classes was little short of phe- 

 nomenal. The Belgians received numerous compliments, and made last- 

 ing impressions on those who saw the show. Robert Ogilvie placed the 

 awards. 



MORGANS. 



There was a very good display of Morgans, the exhibitors being C. 

 R. Crane, St. Charles, 111.; S. B. Mills, Ames, Iowa; P. F. Simth, Monte- 

 zuma, Iowa; C. F. Dewey, Amboy, 111.; 0. J. Mooers, Columbia, Mo.; 

 James C. Brunk, Springfield, 111.; George Bacon, Amboy, 111. First prem- 

 ium for three-year-old stallion went to Crane, Mills second, Smith third. 

 Dewey won first with two-year-old stallion, Brunk with yearling stallion 

 and also foal and three-year-old mare. Crane won first with two-year-old 

 filly, Mills first with yearling filly. Crane secured champion stallion, 

 Mills being reserve. Crane also won champion mare, Brunk being 

 reserve. Crane won get of stallion and grand display. 



There was an excellent exhibit of American carriage horses and stand- 

 ard-bred' trotters. The Morgan exhibitors had things much their own 

 way in the carriage horse class. 



HACKXEYS, 



Hackneys were exhibited by J. Crouch & Son, Chas. E. Bunn, A. L. 

 Champlin, of Ames, Iowa, and Henry Lefebure, Fairfax, Iowa. Crouch 

 won first with three-year-old stallion, Bunn with two-year-old, and Lefe- 

 bure with stallion foal. Champlin won first with four-year-old mare, Bunn 

 with three-year-old mare, two-year-old mare and filly. Lefebure won with
