THE GREAT EXPANSION OP THE '80 's 269 



Appoline 4778 (4003) was one of Mr. Goad's best 

 mares. She was of showyard merit and he won sec- 

 ond on her and her two colts at the Columbian Ex- 

 position in 1893. She was not an especially regular 

 breeder, producing only 7 colts in 14 years, but they 

 were good. One, Starlight 17891, foaled in 1895 and 

 sired by Turc, was second in a strong class of two-

 and was also a brood mare of more than average 

 merit. She raised 8 colts in 10 years, 6 of them sired 

 by Turc 6539 (10052), and they were good ones. 



Mr. Goad was keenly interested in his Percherons, 

 and was a ready exhibitor at leading shows, al-
