Arab Horses in America 87 



daughter of Naomi and Maidan. She 

 is still owned by the Huntington Stud 

 at Oyster Bay, and has produced some 

 most valuable animals. Two of these, a 

 son and a daughter, both by her half- 

 brother Anazah (son of Naomi and Gen. 

 Grant's Leopard) are owned by Mr. 

 Herman Hoopes, of Philadelphia. Mr. 

 Huntington also imported on same ship 

 with Nazli, two pure bred sons of Kismet, 

 Nimr, son of Nazli, and Garaveen, whose 

 dam was Kushdil, another daughter 

 of Naomi, Kushdil' s sire having been 

 Kars. 



Garaveen was bought by Mr. J. A P. 

 Ramsdell of Newburgh, who also bought 

 Ras Aloula and Rakusheh from Miss 

 Dillon, and Shah wan from Mr. W. S. 

 Blunt. He also secured a white mare 

 from an Arab Sheik who brought her 

 to the Columbian Exposition at Chicago 

 in 1893. Her breeding is not known, and 

 she lacks registration; yet Nejme bears 

 every indication of being a high caste 

 Arab mare.
