424 A HISTORY OP THE PERCHERON HORSE 



a son of Besigue, by C. F. Camp produced colts that 

 were good enough to win the Eastern Percheron 

 Breeders ' Futurity. The colt Algernon 112779, win- 

 ner of these Futurity stakes at the Ohio State Fair 

 in 1915, was bred on this identical line. Mr. Jones 

 did not do much exhibiting, but the influence of 

 his stud was marked, even during this period. 



John Yost & Sons, Thornville, 0., whose horses 

 have been discussed in some detail, were among the 

 leading breeders in Ohio during this period. Some 

 of the best mares in their stud have been drawn 

 from the C. M. Jones establishment, and three of 

 the Jones stallions, Wamba 22034, Moreri Jr. 26195, 

 and Dunham 42077, were used in the Yost stud be- 

 tween 1901 and 1910 with excellent results. 



Henry A. Rohrs, Napoleon, 0., who founded his 

 stud in 1886, and whose work has been briefly 

 touched upon, was one of the five leading breeders 

 in Ohio during this period. He shipped some mares 

 to Oaklawn in 1902 and got a couple of fillies by 

 Theudis. One of these died without produce but 

 the other, Theudisanna 35420 proved to be a good 

 breeder. Mr. Bohrs shipped her to "White Hall, 111., 

 to be mated to Camot in 1912, obtaining a filly 

 Carnole 108892. These two instances indicate Mr. 

 Eohr's willingness to go to considerable expense 

 in his breeding, and his influence upon those breed- 

 ers who came in contact with him was effective in 

 leading them to exercise greater care in the selec- 

 tion of their stock, particularly the sires.
