LETERS TO THE EDITOR.

Sik,— Mr. George Tweedy’s letter in THe | Examiner on Friday last, beaded ‘Shire | Horses,” conveys the impression to your lreaders that | have written something ina

the horse Bwrristur’s card derogatory to his Oaks Heart. This [ have not said

Shire hors: cardorany partofit. [ confess to of Barriater,as J did the W vodside,of Summerside, the owner of Young Tom, and frequently vave to others, some infomation respecting the pedigree of their horsee. This I am in @ position to do, as I am in possession of the Stud Books touching on the most im- portant breeds of Cart Horses.

Mr. Tweedy,in his advertisement of Oaks Heart, which came out by, card (1 am gain- formed before Barrister’s was issued) ‘‘with the exception of the Pere Horses, Oaks Heart is the only Draft on the Island, whose pedigree is illegible for registration in any recognized Stud Book.” The owners of Barrister no doubt though tand with good reason that that manifesto was intended for the cart horses, and _ Barrister

given to the owners

ated Oven Cooking Stoves, such as the Star.|in particular, which Mr. Tweedy thought

could not be eligible for entry in any recog- nized Stud Book. Or in other words, he thought he could build the reputation of

Shortly after Barrister

the same stove without this valuable |is advertised as follows .—

‘194 Stud Book, Select Clydesdale Horse Society of Scotland. No other horses than thozee which have obtained honors at some of the Agriculturai Shows in Scotland, or have secured a premium at the Glasgow Stallion Show, or have been selected in Scotland or elsewhere, or have passed an examination by the judges appointed by the Directors, while pedigree will be respected and will be preserved and easily traced in the Stud Book, it will be no factor in the tests of admission withuut the horse has individual merits.

By order of the Directors, Lawrence Drew, Chairman.”

The qualification set forth in the 4th vol, of the Shire Horse Society’s Stud 30k is that any horse foaled before 1881 can be registered, if either his sire or his dam’s is by a-registered horse. This being the only qualification, a half or quarter bred horse, though he be entirely devoid of any merit, can gain admittance.

To meet the qualifications required to ad- mit a horse,as will be seen by the prospectus to the select Stud Book in which Barrister is entered is comparatively hard, while to gain admittance to the Shire Stud Book where Oak’s Heart is entered, par- ticulorly when foaled prior tu 1881, is very easy. So easy that Mr. Tweedy, it seems, on it being explained to him through Barrister’s card, is somewhat disgusted at his horse having to go through the triffling ordeal to get there. Simply this snd this enly: Any horse foaled during 1880 or prior to 1881,can be admitted if itssire or itsdam sire be registered or eligible for registra- tion. Mr. Tweedy accuses me of writing this and denies its truthfulness. Let us see who is right. Turn to vol. 5, page 6, Shire Horse Stud Bock, we find ‘‘Rovers book” (2986) Shire Horse Bay,foaled 1880, Sire Hamilton Tom (1042.) Turn page 24, Vol. 5, Emperor, (3071) Shire Horse Bay foaled 1880, Sire Honest Tomy (3149. ) Now if Mr. ‘Tweedy will turn to Vol. 4, page 68, the will find Warbey’s Wonder (2951) Shire Horse, foaled in 1881, Sire Great Briton (978 ) It will be seen »y this that any colt got by Oak’s Heart (3911) its dam being the veriest scrub in the country, many may have just as much right if bredin England to entry in the Shire Horse Stud Book as Reversbrook, Emperor or War- boy’s Wonder. By these quotations it will be seen by the most casual observer of pedigrees that what appeared in Barrister card js right. Mr. Tweedy will also find by turning to Vol. 1, page $ Shire Stud Buok, that many horses entered there have no pedigres, besides being begot by something see page 401. Proud Salopian, owner and breeder, Richard Mansfield, Sir Champion, that is all. Mr. Tweedy also states in his letter, that ‘‘the Stud Book of the Select Clydesdale Horse Svciety is not recognized as any authority in any country in the world.” This 1 will prove to be grosely incorrect, as 1 have his former statements. At the issuing of the Ist volume it had over 300 members aud subscribers, many of whom are among the first breeders of cart horses in Great Britain and elaewhere,some of whom for Mr. Tweedy’s benefit I shall mention. Campbell,Sir A. C. Bart, Jas. Mc- Call, Principal Glasgow Veterinary College, Professor McKa:hern, Principal Veterinary College, Montreal,Marquis of Londonderry, Cumming, 8. W. G.

S., James McKie Ontario, Acer & Co., Horse Exchange, Montreal, Laurence Drew, deceased, who was one of the most renowned breeders of cart horses in the three kingdoms, and David Riddell, Black Hall, Paisley, who is the president of the Society since the death of Mr. Drew, who owns and exports to the United States, Australia and other countries, more Ist class high prieed horses, than any

‘io. These two countries have class high-priced horses, from both Eng- land dad Scotland, than perhaps any other country.* Nothing but the best will do them to transport sv long a distance.

Mr. Tweedy unfairly quotes my commn- nication to the Live Stock Jowrnal of Canada, from the fact (and he well knows it) that an animal produced as Barrister is, is not a cross as between two distinct breeds from which nondescripts deacend, and in confirmation of this I will quote from the North British Agricultural, than which no higher authority than be found: ‘The English Shire-bred draft horses somewhat resemble the Clydesdales. Dealers frequently sell them for Clydes- dales, because the latter command a higher price in the market. The English Shire horses are powerfully built, strong-limbed, heavy-boned, compact,close-coupled,muscen- lar formed animals, weighing from 1600 to 2000 ibs., they are weli adapted for large drags or lumber wagons where great weight and power are required to steady and move large !oads of merchandise or minerals at a moderate pace. The English Shires have been crossed with the Scotch Clydes- dales and this is claimed to have produced afamily superior to either sire or dam. Both breeds were origivally formed upon the union of lines of powerful draft horses, the reunion of lines, long separated might be expected to culminate in a superior family. The good qualities that either pos- sessed single handed when combined to- gether, wou!d give additional force of char- acter to the issue, andimprove the breed. It is in this way that all breeds are founded and their progeny raised up to a_ higher standard of excellence.

Mr. Tweedy should not be too hard on the half-breeds, as he terms them, in case his memory might be refreshed by some meddlescme, jealous person owning a horse no so good as Mr. Tweedy’s, that when he, Mr. Tweedy, advertised Oak’s Heart on or about the time of his arrival, it was stated that he was sired by Heart of Oak out of a Montgomeryshire mare. This jealous indi- vidual might also say when he went to school Montgomeryshire was in Wales, and tha’, possibly Oak’s Heart himself might bave a drop of Taffey blood coursing through his veins: and say further by what he had seen he did not think it a suitable kind to amalgamate with that of the Shire horse.

Now we shall refer to a few of the horses bred and owned in Scotland of Barrister’s breed, the dams being English and the sires Clydesdales or vice versa :

Prince of Wales, No. 1, Select Clydesdale Stud Book : gained Ist prize at Glasgow as a two-year-old, in 1868; Ist prize at the Royal Society Show, Manchester, 1869; Ist prize at the Highland Society’s Show at Edinburgh, in 1867 ; 1st prize at Kilso, in 1872; winner of the Gold Medal at Ster- ling, in 1873, and sold last year, after the decease of Mr. Drew, for the unprecedented sum (for a horse of his age, 18 years,) of 950 guineas.

Darnley, No. 2, Select Stud Bvok. Grand Premium at Glasgow Stallion Show in 1876 and 1877, and Ist prizs and Cham- pion Cup at Highland Society’s Show at Edinburgh, 1877, and Champion Cup at Dumfries in 1878.

The Live Steck Journal of London, Eng., Nov. 14, 1884, page 462, has the following: ‘Darnley, the Premier of Clydesdales, when Prince of Wales (now his stable com- panion) dies, but not till then, has been let for next season for 1,000 guineas. Well done, the Rhins_ of Galloway |! We say all. bet they find it profitable.” We will next take Prince vf Avondale No. 7, same book, (sired by Prince of Wales) also owned by Mr, Rid- dell. He took first prizes at Strathaven, E»st Kilbridge and Highland Society’s show at Sterling, 1881. First Highland Society and first at Hamilton, 1882. First prize Glasgow Stallion S*ow, and silver cup at Glasgow Agricultural Society's, both in 1883. and winuer of the premimum at Glas- gow Stallion Siow, 1884. Lord Clyde,bred by Mr. Duncan McFarlane, Dumbarton- shire. (by the way who is uncle to Mr. Geo. McLeod, Manager Bank, N.S.) This colt was exhibited at all the principal shows in the neighborhood of Glasgow, and was always placed first. ‘Time O’ Day and Lord Salisbury carried off the highest honors in the best show yards of Scotland, and each sold for 1500 guineas, the latter to go to Melbourne, Australia.

Did space permit, I could give the names

of many more jastly celebrated horses of \this breed, but will only mention Blooms- | burg Topsman, Lord Lyon, Bold Briton, 'Royal Scott, Brave Wallace, Hawkhead,
