DRAUGHT HORSE, "YOUNG SAMPSON."

My horse "Young Sampson," is now eleven years old, color, jet black, weight, 1500 lbs. He was awarded the first premium once in New York, and at the first annual fair of the Michigan State Agricultural Society he was also awarded the first premium; the committee stating that for powerful muscular strength, handsome form, and graceful movement, they had seldom seen his equal. He was again awarded the first premium in 1851, and in 1852 he was recommended by the committee as worthy, but by the rules of the Society could not again be awarded the first premium.
