Mr. Grant is one of the pioneer promoters of draft horse 
breeding in this new country, and is developing a small but 
very select stud of Clydesdales. His most famous stallion has 
been the Glamis Castle horse, Monte Carlo, a half brother of 
the noted Cawdor Cup winner, Scotland Yet. 
General agricultural activities of a progressive sort have 
recently claimed much of Mr. Grant’s time. During the five 
years, 1909-1914, he was president of the Laboulaye Rural 
Society, and from the beginning of his citizenship in the province 
of Cordoba he has acted as advisor to the local manager of the 
Argentina National Bank on farm loans. Laboulaye is a thriv- 
ing town of 7,000 inhabitants, and Mr. Grant has twice been its 
mayor, four times president of its town council, three years presi- 
dent of its school board, and three years president of its social 
club. Since 1914 he has been president of the board of directors 
of the Rio Negro Land Company, and part owner and managing 
director of the Nueva Escocia Colonization Company. 
In 1901 Mr. Grant married Miss ELLEN GERTRUDE Macurre, 
daughter of an Irish Farmer in the Argentine, Mr. Joun Macuire, 
and has a family of two boys and two girls.
