This is just the effect blinds have upon the horse's eyes. Now, of late years, in the large cities espe- cially, the fashion has become quite common of making the blinders not only very large, but in the form of a bowl, that is, hollow in the center, and the edges brought forward in saucer shape, car- rying it to such an ex- treme that they really cover up the eyes and prevent the horse from seeing at all, or but very little out of the front corner of the eye ; and harness-makers throughout the country are adopting this plan of forming blinders. They seem to think it looks dignified, or is an expression of in- creased style and character to have the blinds come well forward and around the front of the eyes. Representative Cases.—I made a special effort to obtain the aid of an artist to make photographs of r e p re s entative cases, so as to have an absolutely correct illustration, of a good average of them, but found it so difficult to secure one to do this that I was compelled to be satisfied with drawings, Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Magner, D.
