Ben Jones of Parnell, Mo., is on hand with his collection of Seth two-year-olds.

Coe, also is standing on the Jones Farm. The Seths two-year-olds in Jones barn at Aurora now are Corporal Seth and Seths Ballot. E. E. Major also has a couple of them in Yolsel and Robena Seth. Another two-year-old watched with interest because of its blood lines is Runmr.id, a chestnut filly by Runstar — Tailor Maid.
