THE PRACTICAL HORSESHOER. ^69 



than aii}^ three-year-old that ever started, is seen in Fig-. 

 166, and presents another distinctly interesting* type of 

 horse physiog-noni}'. Hanover has won seventeen races in 

 succession. He is five years old and a brave, handsome 

 creature. He went lame last year and a small portion of 

 the nerve was removed from his leg*. It was feared this 

 niig'ht impair his powers, but it did not. Hanover is of a 

 high equine type ; he is wide between the ej^es and shows 

 quality in his face, wiiich is decidedl}" intellig-ent. His e^^e 

 is full and big*, his nose is straig"ht, his muzzle is small, and 

 the broad blaze on his face does not detract from the g-ener- 

 al hig-h-bred look of his head. He is over 16 hands higli, 

 and has long' white stocking's. His queer fashion of w^ag-- 

 ging his head from side to side as he runs has made him 

 widely known on the track. — N. Y. Sunday World.
