BREEDING 



IN OEANGE COUNTY. 



Having briefly referred to the general subject of 

 breeding horses in the foregoing article, we pass to 

 notice the history and results thereof in Orange 

 County, in which county the subject has received 

 great attention, and has been rendered exceedingly 

 profitable to those who have engaged judiciously 

 therein. Indeed, from the time when the attention of 

 the citizens of this county was first di-awn to this sub- 

 ject, the standard of trotting horses throughout the 

 country has been gradually elevated, and their speed so 

 increased, that with the present established record of 

 2.17, it would seem that it has now reached its lowest 

 second, and that not much gieater achievements could 

 reasonably be expected from horseflesh.
