THE BOOK OF LIVE STOCK CHAMPIONS. 147 
GASCON—-PERCHHRON STALLION. The champion of the 
Chicago International Exposition of 1908. Exhibited by Robert Bur- 
gess & Son, of Wenona, Ill. This magnificent stallion is less than 
three years old. He won the first prize in a class of the finest young 
Percherons ever shown in a ring, then defeated the pick of the other 
three stallion rings, being proclaimed champion over eighty-two of the 
best Percherons in America. Considering that he is an ideal draft 
horse, combining elegance with weight and power, GASCON moves 
with the light step of a spirited trotter and stands squarely upon well- 
set legs and good feet. Our readers can accept this picture as repre- 
senting the ideal draft horse of France.
