Missouri King, the famous saddle horse owned by- Edward R. Maier of Los Angeles, will not be seen at the horse show at the State Fair in September on account of his death recently at Santa Susana, Ven- tura county. The beautiful stallion had been entered for the horse show this year. Missouri King was purchased a number of years ago from W. P. Haw- kins at Bowling Green, Missouri, by Maier for a large price, after a long search for the best horse in the saddle class in Missouri and Kentucky. Mis- souri King was bred by T. H. Moore of Speed, Mis- souri, and sired by King Turner and out of Pansy Blossom, all noted saddle horses. At the time of his death Missouri King was showing a 2:40 clip at the rack, trot or canter. He gave promise of being far better than when he was crowned grand champion at St. Louis in 1911 and 1912. He achieved that honor after a severely fought battle in a class of eighteen horses and after two hours of hard riding. It was in this contest he finally rode to victory, and received the title of Grand Champion of Missouri. Missouri King was in the pink of condition at the time he was stricken. The morning he became ill he showed a splendid tryout and appeared to be in perfect health. * * * The Hemet Stock Farm will ship fourteen horses to the State Fair.
