Mr. Batten's imported Orloff, "SOBOL." 



This fine Connecticut horse, owned in Norfolk, was lately imported by his o-^-ner to 

 supply the demand for a park or phaeton horse that should possess the requisites of size 

 beautv of form, stvlish action, power and endurance. He is 15 3-4 hands high, black, 

 with three white feet, rather light juane, and a tail of fair proportions. He is a Russian 

 horse, foaled in 1870, and came from the stud of a Russian' Count. His movement in a 

 carriage is easy, gi-aceful, without the least chafing or friction, and he can be easily 

 driven br a ladv. But the power and endurance that lies dormant under ortlinary usage 

 is brought out to surprise the beholder if the horse is allowed the stimulus of a short 

 trial of speed. Sobol is represented as appropriate in the easy movement suited to the 

 carriage, where his stepping shows him to advantage. 



HORSE SUSPENDING SLING. 



This cut shows the best way 

 to make a sling to suspend a 

 horse while treating a fracture, 

 or for any other purpose for 

 wliich a sling is used. 



They can be made at a mod- 

 erate expense; or we can usu- 

 ally furnish them, if desired, for 

 $20.00, without pulleys and 

 ropes.
