The auction will offer fifty or more yearling colts and

Walking Horses in the country and has established an
excellent reputation through the years. The farm

WOULD YOU BELIEVE . . .
SUN’S MIDNIGHT DUKE!
Mistakes will happen and if you don’t believe me,
just ask the folks at Harlinsdale Farm. In their pro­
motional material regarding their sale during the
Celebration, SUN’S MIDNIGHT DUKE has been mis­
takenly identified as DUKE OF MIDNIGHT. The
misprint got by unnoticed and was included in adver­
tisements and mailing material concerning the sale.

Harlin Hayes pointed out the error, and assured us
that SUN’S MIDNIGHT DUKE was indeed the horse
intended for the ads. SUN’S MIDNIGHT DUKE is
owned by Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Wilder of Lexington,
Kentucky.
