Instead of the horse being forced into the background he is® becoming more popular and, apparently, more indispensable as time goes on. This is proved by the strong demand and the good prices which prevall in the sales ring and also by the record entry of mghly bred horses which marked ail the shows in the East last year. The national show in Madison Square Garden, ew York, broke all records both for quality and for the rumber of horses entered in the various classes.

Cochrane of Quebec, Canada, a widely known importer of tjrese horses. All of them have won blue ribbons in horse shows. As a foundation for the stud he has Squlre of Chester, a blue roan, which was foaled in 1902. He is by Squire Rickett, he by Cadet, and out of Danish Lady. He thus traces back to the famous hackney, -Denmark. Lady Minto, foaled in 1838, is anotlier high stepping hackney. She is by Barthorpe Performer out of Lady Lynn. Besldes having al the ai d graces of the hackney in harness, she is exceptionally good under saddle and wouild cause a sensation in the park or in the show ring. Danish. Lady is for use under saddle, being of the walk, trot and canter type. She has not settled down to her new surroundings yet and owing to her nervousness requlres skillful handling. She won the blue ribbon in the jumping competition at one of the big Canadian shows before beln, brought here. She is a bay roan an 18 nine years old. Lady Lynn is the last of the inter- esting quartet. She is in foal to a noted English hackney. Although well along in years, she shows the hackney type in its highest form. The horses are all registered in the Eng- lish hackney stud book and also with the American Hackney Horse Soclety, thus guaranteeing the purity of their breeding. The hackneys are housed in an up- to-date establishment which has been designed both for the health and the comfort of its occupants. With the passing of James B. Haggin's Rancho del Paso, the great home of the thor- oughbred, the high class horses of the future for various uses must come from establishments such as en- thusiasts like Mr. Britten will found.

In other years the winning horses have been standard bred Amerlcan trotters which have been trained in high stepping. The Scientific American in an article on the bicycle and the automobile refers to the rise and sudden collapse of the bftycle and asks this pertinent question: “Shall we see repeated the history of the bicycle in the booming of the automo- bile?” The large numbers of cheap autos will soon make them a cheap machine. The distinction of the automobile by the high prices has given distinction to the enthusiastic.owners, but when everybody gets to ridin® in the auto as they did with the bicycle, there will be a mechanical collapse and mechanicai traction will as sume normal position along with the electric car and the locomotive; & belp to the horse which elevates him to a higher aphere; that requires better and larger draft, horses for work and finer, hand- somer carriage horses for driving at high- er prices; more profit to the farmer who can raise these high class horses to suit the t demands for special olass horses. e all-purpose horse, the street car class, and the small, cheap horses have already given place to the draft and coach horses at three times the price. The editor savs ‘the automobile will rival the trolley car and the locomotive.” These inereased the demand for horses, and if history repeats itself, mechanical tractica will increase the use and de- mand for more horses and better horses. i ‘Japanese Charged With Robbery. 1.
