THE RUSSIAN OR ORLOFF TYPE OF HORSES. 



These elegant horses of Russia, are from carefully preserved descend- 

 ents of the pure bred Arabian sires, taken to Russia for the improve- 

 ment of their light carriage and saddle horses, and are worthy of notice 

 here. They are much improved in size without losing much of the 

 quality and beauty of the Arabian. For an object lesson, the reader is 

 referred to cut No. 9, which speaks for itself better than words can 

 describe. 



NATURE'S LAW OF SELECTION VERIFIED. 



Here is an illustration, cut No. 10, of what the American trotting 

 family of horses should be brought to — horses of size, style, symetry, 

 substance and action — and when they have the desired speed, they will 

 bring all the money one has the conscience to ask. If they lack the 

 speed, then we may have the grand carriage horses demanded in the 

 markets at long prices. If they have neither the speed or fancy style, 

 they will make excellent roadsters or splendid farm horses of the active 

 type.
