SEVENTH ANNUAL PARADE, 1909 



NY horse that is dock-tailed, sick, hime, thin, galled, or 

 out of condition will be disqualified. 



Every entry not disqualified will receive a ribbon, 

 either first (blue), second (red), or third (yellow). 

 In the Old Horse Class highly commended ribbons 

 are awarded, which are equivalent to third prizes in 

 other classes. 



Each blue ribbon winner will receive a brass 

 medal to be worn as a permanent ornament on the harness. 



There is no restriction upon the number or grade of ribbons to be award- 

 ed. The Judges may award such ribbons as they deem to be deserved, sub- 

 ject to the following rules: 



( 1 ) Age counts in favor of a horse. 



(2) Blue ribbons or first prizes are not to be awarded to green horses, 

 and, if possible, not to horses who have worked less than one year. 



(3) Blue ribbons or first prizes are not to be awarded to any horse, 

 unless, allowing for the imperfections of age, he is a horse of good type and 

 good quality."" 



MANNERS. 



Manners should be considered, as showing whether or not the horse 

 has been treated kindly. 



COLOR. 



The color of a horse does not count, even in respect to matched pairs. 



*For what is meant by quality, see the r«g<?s at the end of the catalogue.
