. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. THE BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN [Saturday, July 28, 191!. "You can bet your bottom dollar that we are going to have a horse show this year," writes Ernest G. Bylander, secretary of the Missouri State Fair. The Missouri State Fair horse show is one o£ the really important shows of America and annually draws more great stables and more visitors from distant states than any other show given in connec- tion with a state fair. E. A. Trowbridge is to be superintendent again this vear. **• R. E. Thomas, of Chicago, whose pilgrimages to Missouri this year have resulted in the purchase of some of the best horses ever bought by one man, last week purchased from Jas. Buford, Paris, Mo., an attractive ladies' mare. Buford also received from J. Frank Wray, the well known Boone, Iowa, hotel man. and horse lover, a six-year-old saddle mare, for education. Mr. Wray bought this mare from the Iowa Agricultural College. She is by Alli- son King and out of Maggie McDonald. Buford says he never had a better pupil. + + + Reports come from the San Vicente Rancho, the property of Mrs. Frederick McCormick and man- aged by H. C. Rollins, that the aged horses are in fine condition and that this year's showing of young- sters will equal any exhibit ever made any place by one farm. Their great young stallion, San Vicente, is said to be the most sensational horse ever seen in California . This horse was a winner last year, but those who have seen him recently declare he is im- proving more than any horse they have ever known. The stallions. Don Castano, Highland Monarch, and the other members of this very magnificently bred stable are getting lots of work and Mr. Rollins will, as usual, be "up yonder" in every class in which he shows. + * ? In his advertisement this week, Judge E. A. Bridg- ford, of San Francisco, offers for sale two young stallions by Le Grand McDonald. They are full brothers, being out of that great old show mare and producer.
