potent and splendidly preserved. Islam died by accident. Anizeh is alive and in a 

 state of splendid preservation, for the Arabian and Arabian-Barbs have almost 

 double the life expectancy of any of the ordinary substrains of horseflesh. 



We possess an own daughter of Islam and her son Arabian Kshot, by Khaled. 

 We own also considerable of the offspring of Clay Kismet and some of Hegira's 

 blood, also a grandson of Abdul Hamid II. Besides, we have a mare in foal by 

 the beautiful Abdul Hamid II. As can be seen further along in this catalogue, 

 we also have four very choice pure Arabian mares, two of which are sired by 

 Khaled and two by Anizeh, one of which is a daughter of the celebrated Naomi, 

 the mother of Khaled. 



Through the special kindness of Mr. Huntington we are able to reproduce 

 in this catalogue life-like pictures of the two Arabian stallions, Leopard and 

 Linden Tree, as well as a splendid likeness each of the great Henry Clay and 

 Islam, all from the original drawings by the late talented artist, Kittridge. Mr. 

 Huntington has also favored us with the privilege of using two rare photos of 

 the two celebrated desert-bred progenitors of Khaled and Clay Kismet, Maidan 

 and the renowned original Kismet. 



The fact that we own some of the blood of Hegira, Anizeh, Abdul Hamid II, 

 and Nimr, we have included their portraits with those of Clay Kismet and his 

 son and daughter. Clay Eclipse and Kathleen, also Khaled, drawn by the greatest 

 of all modern horse artists, George Ford Morris, who is a real blessing and boon 

 to one who has a horse catalogue to get up. The fidelity to the subject which 

 Mr. Morris maintains in his portraits is such as to place him in a class by him- 

 self. His skill to inject life and individuality into his work is excelled by none. 



The reader who will peruse these pages carefully will discover that only the 

 very purest and best blood obtainable was a characteristic feature of Mr. Hunt- 

 ington's horse breeding career; time has not recorded a single instance in which 

 his horse breeding principles have ever failed to bring a prompt and generous 

 reward. All truly great animal breeders are very exacting in the selection of 

 foundation blood ; once right, always right. 



Our Clay Arabians, like our pure Arabs, possess the largest size ever seen 

 in Arabian bred horses, which is combined with elegance, clean and faultless 

 limbs and feet, wonderful grace of action, reliable dispositions, and that "do or 

 die" gameness always to be found in Arabian bred horses. 



The Arabian horse is as wonderful in mental development, courage and in- 

 telligence as he is in physical perfection and endurance. 



Our conditioner, who has had a lifetime of experience in the care and feeding 

 of horses, marvels at the hardiness and easy keeping qualities they possess. 



They are great eaters and easily fattened, and possess the consequent large, 

 hardy middles. 



The Arabian is honest, cheerful, vigorous, patient, enduring, fleet,' handsome, 

 graceful, intelligent, kind, and last, but not least, the purest in blood of all of the 

 equine race. 



If Ohio horse breeders do not see fit to avail themselves of the rare and un- 

 usual opportunity to breed to these royally-bred horses, it will prove their own
