of American-bred horses, was that of Forbes Bros, of Wyoming. The 

 western-raised colts brought out by this firm are a distinct credit to that 

 section of the country and succeeded in capturing a full share of ribbons. 

 Kelvin Chief, the four-year-old which came to the top among the aged 

 stallions and was awarded the championship, is a brown of great char- 

 acter, substantial in hone, good at the ground, correct in his pasterns, 

 stylish and true at the trot. The other McLay horse, John Humphrey, 

 is of rather a different stamp, smoothly turned and massive in his ends

 in the class. He is put together in very symmetrical shape, with strong 

 bone, typical legs and true action. The other colt from the same stable 

 stands on rather smaller bone, but is built on much the same pattern 

 and some thought he looked fit to stand ahead of the rather plain thin 

 bay which was second. Yearlings and foals were not well represented.
