the Universal Exposition at Paris in 1878, and out 

 of a granddaughter of M. Dupont's Favori. He was 

 used to some extent in 1887 and 1888, but did not 

 leave many colts. Two or three other sires that do 

 not appear to have been of any importance were 

 used about 1888 and 1889, but in 1890 Mr. Kellogg 

 secured the horse which practically made the repu- 

 tation of his stud — ^Baccarat 11326 (18639). 



Baccarat was foaled in 1887. He won in France 

 in 1889 and was imported in that year by W. L. 

 Ellwood. He won second in the three-year-old class 

 at the Chicago Horse Show in 1890 for Mr. Kellogg, 

 who bought him at a price reported to have been 

 the highest ever paid, for a Percheron stallion up to 

 that time. He proved good from the outset. He 

 was used in 1890 and '91 and sired 16 stallions and 

 8 mares of record. Mr. Kellogg 's death on Sept. 24, 

 1891, was exceedingly unfortunate; he was only 53 

 years old and was just developing his Percheron 

 breeding operations to a point where real progress 

 could be made. He raised 19 colts of his own breed- 

 rug in 1891 and 15 more in 1892. 



Noted Mares. — Mr. Kellogg had no inclination to 

 act as a dealer in horses and his selections were made 

 for his own stud. He sought mares of size, draft 

 type and quality, and was insistent upon uniformity. 

 Among the mares he imported were some which he 

 had selected because of their records as brood mares 

 in France. Bijou 4668 (4644) was one of these. She 

 was the dam of Childebert 4283 (451), by Brilliant 

 1271, one of the very good horses imported in 1885,
