Lovers of the Horse 



Rol)ert Graham was horn in the town of Markliani, wliere he received his early 

 education, making his home at Chiremont until his clianm' in business. During- his 

 career, he has bought and sold many champion horses in almost every class, dealing, 

 in the earlv davs. more extensively with Clydesdales. One of the best of these that he 

 ever imported was Royal Exchange, who won great renown for Robert and his father 

 from 1S7() until bought by Senator Beith in 1878. Old Prince Arthur was another 

 horse that helped to make the (iraliam farm famous, always winning in the ring in 

 this countrv and siring many a brilliant winner. Mr. Robert Graham is one of the 

 oldest importers of horses on the continent and is among the foremost judges. His 

 advice is always in demand and his judging, at all prominent shows in the country, 

 has earned for him an envial)le re])utation for discretion and fairness. 



Both Walter Renfrew and Roljert Graham are reinsmen of the first class, and 

 manv times have tlriven their own horses to victory. Both enjoy a ride on a gootl 

 hunter, but devote more time to other interests in the horse world than to riding or 

 drivin<r. Thev are alwavs hig^hlv gratified bv success of others to whose stables thev 

 have contributed. Mr. Robert Davies is an instance of one of their fortunate cus- 

 tomers, as the Renfrew-Graham firm brought to Canada the Clydesdale mares with 

 which Mr. Davies made such a clean sweep at the Industrial Exhibitions held through- 

 out Canada. 



The champion cups and ribbons won by this i)rosperous firm at the many shows 

 all over the country, would make a silver exhibition in themselves, while their hundreds 

 of badges foi'm a dis|)la\ which tells its own story of l)reed and training.
