STATEMENT OF 0. S. BUTLER. 



Entered for premium. Black Morgan rftare, "Pettie." She 

 was seven years old last August. Before commencing Spring 

 work she weighed 1000 pounds ; her weight now, is about 950 

 pounds. She is perfectly sound and free from all blemish. 

 Her habits are perfect, on the plough, or in the cart, in the fam- 

 ily carriage or in the stable. She is a good roadster and safe 

 for any driver, woman or child, that can drive any horse. I 

 think she is ihe most perfect young horse for all work that I 

 have ever owned. Her Dam was a lull blood Morgan. Her 

 Sire was a cross with the Knox.
