THE HACKNEY 201 



distinguished from an American-bred by the greater 

 width of his back across the loins. 



As a show horse the hackney has out-stripped the 

 trotting-bred horse in the smaller classes; that is, in 

 the classes for horses 15.2 and under, but in the classes 

 for horses above that height the trotting-bred horse 

 has proved superior even as a show horse. 



The secretary of the American Hackney Horse 

 Society is Gurney C. Gue, who may be addressed in 

 care of the New York Herald.
