Original Toronto Star caption: Horse auction draws crowds all on its own. Big Belgians, Percherons and Clydesdales were the target of every eye at the 34th annual Draft Horse Auction in the Horse Palace at the Canadian National Exhibition yesterday. But for the first time, the sale was on its own. The Farm Show that usually accompanies it has moved this year to the international Centre in Mississauga.
