OF 



D, Edgar Grouse's Palatial Stable. 



The animals that are fortunate enough to have a home 

 in this horse Eden have been selected with much care, in- 

 dividual excellence in conformation being the first requisite. 



The first stall is occupied by Adair, b. g. ; record, 

 2:17^; by Electioneer, 125, dam by Culver's Black Hawk. 

 Adair is too well known in horse history to need any minute 

 description, suffice it to say he is a good representative in this 

 stable of his illustrious sire. 



In the next stall stands Rosa Mac, b. m.; record, 2:20| at 

 five- years old; sired by Alexander Button, sire of Yolo 

 Maid, pacing record at three years old, 2:14. Rosa Mac's 

 dam was by Sawyer's Messenger. The writer of this affirms 

 that this mare is the most perfect type of a horse that he 

 ever saw. She adds to her perfection in form perfect docility; 

 a child could drive her. In fact, she is an ideal gentleman's 

 road horse. 



The b. g. Electric, 2:20, by Edward Evertt ; dam 

 by Jupiter; and St. Cloud, 221, by American Star, 37; dam by 

 Bay Richmond, are Mr. Crouse's favorite road pair. They 

 can go together any time in 2:25, and he often remarks that 

 " I never take the dust when I am behind the little pair,'' 



King Almont, b. s.; record, 2:21-| ; by Almont, 33; dam 

 by Arabian (Crocket's), occupies the fifth number. This 

 grand old hero is in the prime of life, and is to-day better 

 than in the days of 1883 and 1884, when he won so many 

 hard fought battles, and could if given the chance materially 

 reduce his record.
