 palm them off as Arab horses, and gained a 

 lot of newspaper notoriety through his efforts 

 to present them to the President of the 

 United States, claiming that they had been

 were, of course, refused, and were later sold 

 at a foreclosure sale at the American Horse 

 Exchange, where one brought the remarkable 

 price of $120.00. They were all foundered 

 and otherwise crippled. 



From such specimens as these, and the big- 

 flanked spotted circus horses, the Arab horse 

 has suffered much injustice. If he recovers 

 from this it will have to be by his own efforts. 

 In exploiting the Arab horse, I shall not go 

 beyond their ability to carry out promises for 

 them.
