ID presenting Midnight to the public I think I sbow one of thn bent individuals ever offe ed in Northern Illinois. Midnight is s erind good horee. He in a black, standing 15% h mis high, will weigh 1075 pounds and of stately carriage His head and neck ire handsomely lined, his shoulders deep and well laid, hie withers carried we!! back, tbe barrel ot ex­ cellent depth and splendidlv ribbed home; his loins remarkably good, and at this very point we see too many horses very defective. A weak loin and eoupling is a more ser!ous de feet than any other point. We like tp see a horse u>a,:« there as if he enuld carry a ton. His 1<*KB and Jeit good, p ints strong, and bone clean He basquslitv, beauty and high finish. He has a world of speed. * Asa race horse none »an outia-t him Considering all these qualifications, no assumed, but demon­ strated; hts inheritance, his campaigning qualities, and bis great speed producing pow­ ers, I am fully justified in thinking that Mid- •aight's prospects, when bred to good mares, »re not exceeded by any horse of his age. Midnight came to McHenry Co., Feb, 16, 1893. unknown to boromien acd breeders, but as a proof that the public was pleased with him I urea 78 mares before Aug 10, and re- fused 25 more, I started him but Ave times in public, first st Dundee over a new half mile track, and drove bira an easy mile in S;2fi, last eighth in 15 sec.
