288 A HISTORY OF THE PERCHEEON HORSE 



number of good colts in France, some of which were 

 brought over during the '80 's by the leading im- 

 porters of that period. Sandi was sold shortly after 

 importation and then had access to grades only, until 

 1889, when he did sire one more purebred colt. 



Senegal 8456 (8092) was the most important sire 

 used in the Case stud. He was a gray sired by 

 Voltaire 3540 (443) out of a daughter of Favori 1st

 and as a sire. He was not imported until 1887 and 

 was not used long, but his colts were good. 



Mr. Case won a number of prizes in 1885 at the 

 Minnesota State Fair, but did not exhibit very ex-

 were a good useful sort, however, and being above 

 the average in merit did much good. 



The gathering financial storm which wrecked so 

 many good establishments drove Mr. Case to disperse 

 his stud about 1892. The mares were scattered wide- 

 ly into the hands of small farmers. There are de- 

 scendants of this stock around St. Peter and St. 

 Cloud in Minnesota, but for the most part they were 

 lost to the purebred industry.
