most of Ms horses went to H. F. Hagemeister, of 

 Green Bay, who bought them from the estate about 

 1895 or '96. Nicholas Schmidt, Wrightstown, Wis., 

 bought some from Mr. Kellogg in 1890. William H. 

 Shaw, Belvidere, 111., was another buyer. Newton 

 Rector, Circleville, 0., made purchases from Mr. Kel-

 E. C. Clark, Cadott, Wis., were other buyers. Mr. 

 Hagemeister obtained most of the animals, however, 

 purchasing 68 head of stallions, mares and colts. He 

 also secured Baccarat and retained him until 1906, 

 when he was sold, still vigorous at 19 years of age.

 special emphasis on underpinning and soundness. 

 He was one of the earliest American breeders to 

 appreciate the value of tried sires and dams, and 

 emphasized at all times the importance of accurate 

 and careful breeding. His integrity, courtesy and
