Rhode Island @ :23 l-2) son of Whitehall
by North American. Roland and his
stock are shown by C. F. Clark of Bos-
ton, their proprietor, and are excellent
horses.
Doubtless the center of attraction, es-
pecially to strangers, was the exhibit of
the world-famous Morgans, a stock ma
tive to Vermont and Justly reckoned
among the most valued of her Jewels.
The Morgan exhibit largely outnumber-
ed all Others combined.
The Morrill, branch of the Morgan
family was represented by Black Dia-
mond, fine LELAND black stallion by
Woodstock, son of Young Morrill, dam
Morgan mare. Black Diamond is owned
by Isaac Campbell of Barnard, is horse
of great style and symmetry, and that he
is trotter appears by the fact that at
Bethel last fall he beat Thought in three
straight heats, although Thought turned
the tables on him the following week at
Woodstock. Would it not be well for
Nermonters to see to it, that this excel
lent branch of native stock does not
die out at home. while Maine with her
Winthrops and Fearnaughts from the
same root is winning both gold and glory.
Another attractive Morgan exhibit was
that of Ililand Grey and members of his
family shown by I. +. Kelley of Poult-
ney and others. lIiland Grey, whose

cross the Morgan stock for the best re
suits should note that the game three
year-old tilly Emma b. that came so neal

uniform old gold-one of the most at
tractive animals it has been our lot t.
see. She is owned by f. Bowman OF

also shown upon the track with his sire
accompanied by Don Carlos and Emma

this stock shown, all meritorious and at

ought, so far call the favorable attention
of breeders as to afford IIiland Grey

bred mares, the world of road and trot
ting horses would be the better for it.
