WORTHY OF MENTION One of the outstanding features of the horse show at Exeter Fair, which merits special comment. That of a number of colts sired, by the celebrated Percheron stallion “Win­ ston Jr.” owned by Mr, Alex Dow, ot Exeter. Two of them won 1st and 2nd in the 3 year old. heavy draught class; 1st and 2nd in the 2 year old Agricultural class and 2nd in the General purpose class, but the most interesting feature was when six of them were lined up in competition for the special prizes offered by Mr. Dow for 4 his horse. The six the special color, conformation and weight ac­ cording to their several ages, which proves the high standard of breeding of the sires. Any two of them would make a prfectly matched team. One of them, a three year old, was sold at the Fair to Mr. Thos. Brodie, of Toronto, for the sum of $200.00, which proves that it pays to raise the right type of horses, Mr. Dow has been in the horse breeding busi­ ness for a great many years and has handled nothing but the best and is to be congratulated on having at this time a sire that has proven him­ self to be a producer of the highest type of horses. deigton—McAlister 30 A Spectator This Modern Life!
