Horses at the New Yok'k State Fair 203 



splendidly built young horse, Troubadour of Heart's Delight. In 

 the class for stallions two and under three, Adirondack Farms 

 won the honors with Orange de Bruchoin, a very high-class colt. 

 Other exhibitors who showed Belgians of high type and merit 

 were John Clary of Seneca Falls, whose stallion Bicaldo, was 

 second to Major d'Appel; E. S. Akin of Syracuse, Elbert Roos 

 of Walden, and A. C. HirzeLof Syracuse. The Clydesdale and 

 Suffolk breeds also made a commendable exhibit, all being owned 

 by residents of ]^ew York State. 



CLYDESDxVLE 



In the Clydesdales the contests were mainly between the ex- 

 hibits from Adirondack Farms and those of Hugh J. Chisholm 

 of Port Chester. In the class for stallions three and under four, 

 Kelvindale from Adirondack Farms was judged superior to Mr. 

 Chisholm's Apollo by a narrow margin ; this horse also won the 

 championship. In the class for mares of the same age Mr. Chis- 

 holm's won first and second with a typical pair, Lily and Rosie 

 Bloom. Wattie Yet, owned by L. F. Empy of Williamstown, won 

 first in stallion four years and over, having no opposition. 



In the Suffolk classes Adirondack Farms had no opponents, 

 but it would have required high-class representatives of the breed 

 to have robbed some of those shown of the honors they carried oft". 



draft colts 

 Perhaps one of the most interesting competitions in the draft 

 class during the fair of 1914 was a special class for registered 

 draft colts of either sex and breed, foaled in 1914, for a silver 

 cup offered by Mr. E. S. Akin of Syracuse. Nearly a score 

 of weanlings lined up for the judges to pass on. There was not a 

 colt in the lot that would have been out of place in any show ring- 

 in the country, and there was not a single one but that was an 

 illustration to the attending farmers of the possibilities before 

 them in the way of breeding high-class draft horses to supply the 

 ready and profitable market, which their home state affords for 

 this class of horses.
