ana. I matched this pair of mares when many miles apart, and . 

 they were as near a perfect match as could well have been. I 

 sold them in spring of 1882 to the Storrs' Agricultural School 

 of Connecticut. 



Frank and Feed, sorrel geldings bred in Canada. They 

 were good general purpose horses, both double and singly. 



Charley and Ben were a very good pair of well-matched 

 black geldings bred in Indiana. Good in all harness and good 

 drivers, double or single. I sold them to Hoffman Bros., Fort 

 Wayne, Ind. 



Golden Bule and Shadeland Queen were a pair of beauti- 

 ful bay mares sixteen hands high and weighing 1,200 to 1,300 

 pounds each. I purchased them of their breeder in Pontiac, 

 Mich. They were, taken all in all, when five years old — at the 

 time of purchase — about the best coach team I ever saw (or at' 

 least one of the best). I purchased them for brood mares — as 

 they were exceptionally well-bred — and took them to " Fern 

 Hill Stock Farm," Fort Wayne, Ind. I had the misfortune to 

 lose Shadeland Queen soon after the purchase. Golden Bule I 

 still own at this writing — Aug. 7, 1895, and but few men ever 

 owned a better mare. 



Jim Blaine and Feitz were a good pair of bay geldings, 

 matched by myself. One was bred in Indiana and one in Ken- 

 tucky, both from trotting-bred stock. They were good drivers 

 and splendid workers, double and single, and safe. 



CLASS III. STALLIONS. 



Bengal Tiger. A beautiful buckskin or dun-color with 

 striped legs, a black stripe running length of back with black 

 mane and tail, was my first. I purchased him in 1851, when a 

 three-years old, and broke him myself. While pedigree was 

 of but little account in those days, and in that section, as 

 compared with the present, the pedigree of this colt was con- 

 sidered to be very good, and traced back to the Narragansett 

 Pacer. (See Chapter IV.) 



Black Highlands. A beautiful jet black horse with star
