In the clasification of Brood, Harness and Saddle
Mares, individual ejecaUence in (mints of size, symmetry,

standard of merit and value, without regard to btood or

turists of this age, to favor and encourage the breeding
and raising a race of Horses for a 1 work.
The greut value of the Mare ever the Horse, for all
usage, economy and longer life in the planting States,
mustrank hera higher position in the scale of excellence,
upon our premium list.

the reception of animals for exhibition, ann an enclosed

ment, but everything like racing, trials of speed, tilts

sive art and industry, but resolve to tolerate no species
of dissipation or immortality during its Fairs, offensive
