 or yellowish tint, surrounded by a zone of lighter shade, which 

 resemble in appearance the spots on the tiger lily. They are 

 especially common over the croup.

 tions. The classes should not be confused ^vith types, which are 

 mechanical distinctions.

The Work Horse Division. — Drafters have already been 

 described as the power type. Drafters are worked in single, 

 pair, three-way, four-, or six-horse hitches. The demand for the 

 highest class of draft horses comes chiefly from city business 

 firms who make the appearance of their horses and wagons on 

 the streets a feature of their advertising policies (Figs. 38, 39, 

 and 40).
