These include Belgians, Percherons, German Coach, Shires and Hackneys. On their trip these gentlemen travelled abount 20,000 ' miles, visiting England, France, Ger many, Belgium and Holland. Tlu horses were all brought to Mr. Huby's headquarters at Portland. Mr. DeardortT was in ltoseburg 01 Monday night and reports a splentlb. trip. Although it was his UrsL oceiu trip he was not seasick at all, eiihe while going or returning home They when over on the li.agnilUent new steamer, the Lusttania, and brought back their horses on tlu Minnesota, a fine but less speedj vessel. .Mr. IHaidonf made close observation it the diiT 'rent count riet visited.
