UNFAIR HORSE DEAL.—The old say- ing goes that everything is fair in a horse deal, but the statement is hardly legitimate or correct. Especially is this so when the owner of either horse is not a party to the bargain. There are, however, various ways of "deal- ing" horses and it was something out of the ordinary which the writer ex- perienced last Friday. . The writer took in the show at Bayfield Friday and was conveyed to the "white -winged" city by one of Davis' gamey horses which he some time ago secured from Mrs. Whitehead. The animal is an excel- lent driver. We pulled up at Swarts' stables about 12.30 and handed over the outfit to .the hostler with instruc- tions to have the horse liberally fed with hay and oats and watered, had our dinner and were soon on the grounds, in company with South Huron's M. P. P., wading through the names of prize winners. This very important work was completed about 4.30 and at 4.50 we were on the home- ward journey. Not more than astone- throw from the starting point we dis- covered all was not right—at least a portion of the harness had been chang- ed, and we returned to have the error rectified: The obliging hostler was "at sea" as he produced bridle after bridle and finally declared " that Inspector • Ballantyne of Seaforth had secured by mistake the Clinton bridle and lines, and South Huron's M. P. P. remarked that "if you have as good a one'you should be satisfied." After promising to have the mistake rectified we pro- ceeded on the homeward journey, had tea. with Mr. Archer on the. Bayfield Line, and arrived at Davis' livery here at S o'clock. On the road we were a little dubious about the horse being the proper one, bat concluded the incessant rain from the time it was hitched accounted for the darker color, and that the lesser "pull' C4n`the lines was due to the morning drive. How- ever, at the Clinton livery, before we had dismounted, Mr. Davis accosted us thus :—"Well, that is not my horse !" "No, it may not be, althoughI am aware tete harness is not yours.��Mr. Swarts had driven over with Mr. Davis' horse and was present to take the other back. "Why," said he, "that is Eardno's horse, ofy Seaforth," and the "unfair horse deal" was explained away at once. The animal was fed and Mr. Swarts returned. This goes to allow that all horse deale are' no fair, though they may be honest, and Tan NEws-REcc1RD though honest had in some respects the best of the deal. Through the courteous hostler we beg. to apologize to Mr. Cardno jn that we unknowingly appropriated another man's horse and promise to personally greet him at the next Bayfield Show. fn the meantime the phrase has be, come quite fascinating, "Were you at the Bayfield Show en Friday?" 01 'We commence Stook -Taking the end of this month, but before we start we would like to reduce our Stock.
