maintained the largest Clydesdale stud on either continent. His 
Scotch studies led him to pin his faith first of all to the foot, 
ankle and limb, and in Cedric, son of the famous Prince of 
Wales, he obtained his ideal type of sustaining figure, prepo- 
tence, and longevity. He placed wearing qualities before all 
other things in a draft horse. 
His successful attainment of his ideals attracted the attention 
of both continents, and stallions and mares bred at Durham 
Lawn were exported to Scotland to exert a marked influence on 
the course of breeding and showyard history in the native 
haunts of the breed. Few breeders have been able more fully 
to realize their ideal in the production of animal types. Mr. 
Hot.oway held pronounced opinions on the development of 
his animals. His young stuff habitually appeared in the show 
ring in the lightest of flesh, his maxim being to grow his horses 
before he fattened them. Such procedure doubtless added 
years to the length of service of the animals he produced, but 
he ultimately carried it to an extreme that permitted his rivals 
in breed promotion, R. B. OciLviE (6), and N. P. CLarke (45), 
to gain advantage of him during his later years in the show yard. 
His death April 17, 1906, marked the close of a long career, 
characterized by a loyal and strict adherence to the draft 
standard. 
Co. HoLLoway was personally a most lovable man. He pos- 
sessed an ardent intensity of nature, and a courageous, yet 
tender, chivalry that marked him a knight of the latter day. He 
was an intellectual giant among the figures connected with live- 
stock breeding. Few could equal him in elegant diction, whether 
used in speech or manuscript. Unfortunately during his later 
years, he developed a distaste for writing that prevented his con- 
veying to paper the vast stores of draft lore he had acquired 
throughout his long experience. Through the columns of The 
Breeder’s Gazette, Cot. HoLLoway presented a series of articles
