OF THE SADDLE AND SIRLOIN CLUB 27 



fours and sixes have become historic. In connection with his 

 relations at the International he has been appointed buyer of the 

 draft horses for the Union Stock Yard Co. and so successful have 

 been his purchases, that the six-horse team that won in 1913 was 

 of his selection, and individual animals from the yards have won 

 high class honors at subsequent shows. 



As judge he has been very popular. He placed the ribbons 

 on the Continental Draft and Coach breeds at the Columbian 

 Exposition and has officiated at numerous fairs since. He was 

 selected as one of the three judges to represent America in 1916 

 in the International exchange with the Argentine but circumstances 

 arose at the last moment that prevented his taking the trip. Mr. 

 Ogilvie rendered a great service to the teaching of animal hus- 

 bandry through his conceiving of the students' livestock judging 

 contest In the early 90's he suggested the idea to Professor 

 Craic, (24) and contributed the prizes for a contest conducted 

 at Madison, the entrants being Wisconsin boys in attendance at 

 the University. When the International opened he worked unceas- 

 ingly for staging a contest between representative teams from 

 the different agricultural colleges, and finally accomplished it 

 through the generosity of Mr. Charles Robinson, of Clay, 

 Robinson & Co., whose firm contributed $1,000 annually to 

 finance the necessary expense and the prizes. 



Under Mr. Ogilvie's administration of the Clydesdale Asso- 

 ciation there have been attracted to its standard a number of men 

 throughout New England and the Middle States, who have become 

 ardent advocates and aggressive breeders of Clydesdales, men 

 whose tastes, dispositions and wealth are such as to secure for 

 the breed a most prosperous future. These men have purchased 

 the very best blood of the breed in Scotland, at long prices, and 

 are building on these foundations in America to newer and 

 greater breeding triumphs.
