Our Horses.

trade in which our people have engaged. Farmers are beginning to see that ‘there's! money in it’if only the right horses are available. To obtain the right horses thére must be care in breeding ; and breeding is, consequently, a subject of increasing inter est.

Already, the Island is, we are pleased to note, regarded as a place where the best horses edn be cbtained ; and we have here a grand field forimprovement. A gentle- mah now residing in New York, who is greatly interested in horses writes :—

‘“‘T never realized until now what a splendid country Prince Edward Island is for raising horses. I have seen colt shows in the Island that much surpassed the colt classes at the National Horse show in this city recently. ‘The Islanders have the Kentucky of Canada, if the breeders only have the enterprise and intelligenee to make it so.”

And we find the following editorial re-

marks in Wallace’s Monthiy, for Decem-

ber :—

‘*The most popular strain of blood in East- ern Maine and the Lower Provinces at present would seem to be the Almonte branch of the Hambletonian family. There are ia stud ser- vice in that region Constellation, Olympus, Herhandg,-flice Clay and Rampart, and from time to time we hear good reports from all. Glenarm, son of Constellation, recently proved himself a good one when he scored a record fof 2°16}. Olympus, Alice Clay and Feampart are, we believe, all held in high regard by Kastern breeders, and our esteemed correspon- dent, Mr. Harry Townsend, a well-known Nove Scotia stockman, writes: the bi RP ing glowing termes of . Visit to the Prince wawardéaiand Fair: ‘I have just returned from a trip to the Prince Edward Island Ex- hibition. Such a show of .horses would glad- den the heart of even a Kentucky breeder. Hernando, 2.374, and his sons and daughters were a sight to see, winning the leading prizes. One stately fello@, fully sixteen hands, a rich bay with a flowing mane and tail—a horse that was alone worth a thousand—won first prize inthe two-year-old class. His action was grand, open, bold and free. wrote me, asking just where to get a roadster that I thought would suit him, [ would send him toe Prince Edward Island and advise him to buy this son of We are pleased “to see that the’ Island in the gulf is making such rapid strides

By the way, we also find in Wallace's Monthly, a first-rate description of Pan- coast, one of the grand sires of Preceptor, recently imported by Mr. C. C. Gardiner. If we mistake not, it is from the pen of Mr. L. E. McLeod, now associate edtior of Mouthly. It reads as follows :

«The fac: of Pancoast bringing the princely | price of $28,000 at public sale—the largesi amount ever paid for a trotting stallion—drew the attention of thousands who would not otherwise have vemem ered Woodford Mam- brino’s great son. Sired by ihe preat son o/ Mam!vino Chief, and out of a» own sister to McCurdy’s Hambletonian, 2.264, a danghte: of Harold and Belle (by Mambrino Chief), Pancoast combines the blood of the founder of the Mambrino line through his greatest son and a producing daughter with that of Ham- bletonian through the channel that has given us a 2.083 performer. He proved his prowess on the turf,and retired with a record of 2.21}. He sired the only three-year-old that ever trotted three heats at an average speed of 2.213, He has shown that he posses- ses the three essential prerequisites of a suc- cessful stalliqn—he inherits speed and quality, he has speed and quality, aadhe tr ansmits speed and quality. 1 was* quite anxious to see the stallion whose right to the rank of first of the Mambrinoes was so well grounded. | expected to see a remarkable horse, but I did not expect to see Pancoast as he is. When J arrived at Pancoast’s stall an artist was at work on a painting of the horse, and thus an excellent opportunity was presented to look \im over. Imagine a heavy-set mahogany-bey horse, standing 15.2 and looking scarce as tall, weighing 1,165 pounds and appearing heavier, with a body at every point the incarnation of | enduring power set on rather short legs of marvellous strength, and you have a genera) conception of the style of horse Pancoast is. He has a large but well formed head, quite broad between the eyes, showing excellent brain development —a head indicative of an excellent disposition, but not lacking in sug- gestion of ample energy and will. He has a good eye and pleasant ear, and the head is nicely set, The neck is heavy and gross,with a highly curved crest--such a neck as we would not expect to find on a trotting stallion The shoulders are strong and deep, quite oblique, and geen swathed in muscle, and the deep,full chest could hardly be improv- ed upon. The forearms are wondrously strong, and the lower limbs well pro rtioned, fat and clean. The »arrel is deep and round, the back shorter than the average, the lion well spread and strongr and the coupling sufficiently good and smooth. The quarters are massive— iauscle ssem3 wrapped and packed in muscle ; gaskins “emurkably strong, ell muscled out- side aud inside; wide, strong hocks well let down, and short, wide, clean cannon-bones,the «hole set of limbs showing remarkable sub- stance.

Me. Eprron,—iou may perheps think thet I ac: come to-the assistance of the

My object in addressing you is, there- fore, rather to further explain the meaming of the title of this letter. Mr. Ferguson's version of it is certainly true as far as it goes ; but 1 am convinced that Mr. Davies’ little taunt is farther-reaching than 1s ven- nerally supposed. It really means what it expresses, viz: ‘‘that the Grits fecr the influence of the French of Kings Cownty. ” And here let me reniark, en passant, that (notwithstanding Mr. Davies never scru ples to insult any one, friend or foe, whose pulitical opinions or influefive may war the little-great man’s echemes for peronal agurardizement) the imsuli 1 menus original, as 1 shall presentiy show. De- sides, itis hardly in the uatual order of thinys that Mr. Davies should ridicu'e the French of Rollo Bay and Souris proper, as none better than he knows that a great many of these are his best friends— out-and-out Grits of an incorrigible type. No: Mr. Davies’ insalt is not new. Neither is it directed against the French of King’s County properly so called; it is rather against those of Queen's, his own constituents. In order to thoroughly understand the full extent of the meaning of the Grit Chief's expression ahsoprs chy one would need have been pres. nt

that memorable evening last spring, when it became known that of all the biave Grit champions of which King’s County boaste’, only the modest J. R.

Then it war.tso.that a certain sittle
