288 THE PORTRAIT GALLERY 



Mr. Lockridge has been an ardent champion of the red, 

 white and roan and has served its interests well since he has 

 always paid highest attention to individuality, and has made 

 pedigree fashion more or less subsidiary to his other demands. 

 He has exerted a great stabilizing influence among his fellow 

 breeders and has called forth numerous expressions of their 

 esteem. In length of service he stands second only to Mr. Van 

 Meter, and his years add richly to his personality and mem- 

 ories.
