time for applicants to take care of this horse for two years 
longer, and any one who has ever removed the placenta from 
a cow or found a soft place in her tail to cut into to let the 
wolf out, shall be entitled to register. 
But here to-day we find this noble horse standing erect, 
16-1 hands high, proportioned in every part and ready for any 
emergency, and is worth to-day to the United States one 
hundied thousand dollars, and let me tell you, he knows oats 
from chaff, and if any of his numerous feeders expect him to 
partake of chaff or mouldy oats you will see by the set of his 
ears and cock of his eye that if you get too near to him you 
may feel the strength of his massenter muscles or the force 
of his heels. 
“This horse is known all over the United States and people 
come from all parts of the country to see and admire him. 
And may he continue to develop under a law of evolution, 
until the lamps of Heaven are extinguished and the sun has 
burned out his splendor.” 
A tribute in feeling words, timely spoken and uttered from 
a sincere heart, to those of our number who had crossed to 
the other side never to return to us again ; their life work 
and the lessons they had given were briefly told by Dr. 
Dougherty, and, standing, he asked that we drink in silence to 
their unforgotten memories. 
Parting again for another year then became the duty of 
the hour and the meeting of 1891 must only now be one in 
joyful memory. N G
