 tlie value of his rich breeding and commanding presence. Duroc, 

 of this importation, is a veritable Dutchman's, horse, being thick, low

 bone, substance and quality which will eventually make him, when 

 developed, a valuable stock horse. But why enumerate ? the entire

 size and bone at Fremont, bred and produced on their Dakota 

 ranch. But, who don't know Fleur-de-Lys Horse Ranch through 

 the entire Wild West country ? Resources commends this company 

 and its genial, honorable officers to the fullest confidence of the 

 Western public."
